ROGERS FOR BEDF0RD'S PLACE
Boss of the JlmOcrRts il Slated for
Twelfth Ward COun-
Gilman.

It seems TO be practically settled that
George Rogers will succeed to jeff Bed
ford's place in the council as member from
the Twelfth ward, other councilmen being
adverse to vote against this political boss
who is a receptive candidate for the Job.
A. I. Linder, NJ. L. Endres and nineteen
other men are looking with straining eyes
at the place, but they have been given to
understand that Mr.. Rogers can have 1t IL
he wants 1t.
George Rogers is too strong politically
to be refused" said DR.. J.. C. Davis, council
man from the Eighth ward. He has the
backing Of a strong element and can pretty
nearly make or unmake one of our party
II he once starts in. Therefore 1t would
be suicidal for a councilman to vote against
him for Mr.. Bedford's place. Mr.. Rogers
or any other candidate must first promise
to make the race next spring, though, be-
fore he is elected. We are not going to
give a man a seat on the council now and
later on have him funk"
The present councilmen are adverse to
committing themselves as to the future and
refuse to say whether they will run for re-
election or not. They are taking their cue
from Mr.. Bryan, who sidestepped by saying
he would not prejudice the future, and
they are all waiting for coming events
Mayor Dahlman also refuses to say whether
he will run for reelection or not.
Wait until we see what the Legislature
does this winter. then I will tell you what
| will do" says the mayor,

such an extent that physicians told her
she had heart trouble.
Her condition became 80 bad that she
was taken to the pol~ytschnical clinic on
Thirty-fourth street and was examined by
a board of physicians, who diagnosed her
caes as cancer, OF the stomach.
She heard Of this Cooper medicine and
asked me to get Il for her. l was skeptical,

my mother insisted and / finally got the
treatment for her, although I did not be-

tered in favor OF the compliments except
ing as to the assessments for the year
1903 on certain irrigation bonds which are
perpetuslly enjoined.
An action was brought to enjoin certain
assessments for purposes of paying bonds
issued by the Alfalfa Irrigation district in
Keith county, TO have the bonds declared
void and that the defendants be required
to surrender certain bonds held by them
for cancellation. 1t was held that the
bonds were void because certain statutory
provisions regarding publication had not
been complied with. The opinion states
further that the prayer of the petition will
be in other respects denied, It appearing
that the bonds at least are in the hands
OF bona fide purchasers. and the validity of
the bonds should be left for determination

KEEPING TO THE POINT

One of the chief difficulties which law
yers encounter in court room practice
is holding witnesses to the point. re-
cent illustration of this occurred in

lions and answers ran as follows:
Q.-You feel that he is an object of
pity?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-Why?
Alt would take me some time TO
answer the question.

Q.-Answer it as briefly as you can,
and concisely? Just keep your seat,
Mr. Bait.
Any daughters mother died when
she was between and years old, at
that time. l was acquainted with Da-
Yid and his father. His father was
neighbor of mine, a very honorable gen.
tleman, and 1 frequented his home after
/ was married, in my early days. was
lust then 81, when my deaughter was 4
years old, and he being a kind-hearted
gentleman and neighbor, through GER
tain conditions | became acquainted
with him, being a stranger in the coun-
try. | had been rambling all over the
world as a sailor boy before this, and
did not have no permanent home MY
mother had died when 1 was l0, and /
had been a rambler. j fell In with TINS
Mr.. Lewis, David's father, and became
acquainted with his father, including
David here, and became very much at
tached. Had good reason for SO doing,
and finally, why we emigrated here to
this country, both him and l, and L
brought my little girl along. That is,
left them there first, them and their
mother. Finally, when / was on the
road the mother died. I learned of the
fact while 1 was on the prairies, and
returned before I got here. Anyway, L
returned to bring my little girl, this
one and her sister along, which L did.
During our life here we became ac-
duainted. my little girl here got &C
ouainted with David, as we'll as the old
eentleman's acquaintance was eXtend-

ed here, and 1 suppose an attachment
grew up between these two, although
MY live out here at the Jordan. Ny
little girl was then, think, hired out in
Salt Lake City, which brought them
closer in contact with her present hus-
band. When the old gentleman took
sick seriously, and David brought him
down here with a request that l would
give his son David my daughter. Well,
l could not refuse the request, after
asking my daughter, do you wish him?
and she nodded her head. Well, have
no objection if 1t is agreeable all around,
and they became married, but-what
was your question. do you remember,
that you put to me now?
Q.-Yes. My question was, why have
you an object-why is Mr.. Lewis an
object of pity, so far as your are con-
cerned?
Ayes. I just forgot the trend of the
subject, and asked you to remind me.
please Well, he been a very good
worker, a steady worker. I have told
him, well Dave, you are not a lazy
man, but you might have encouraged
yourself in a little literary, the advice
of wise people and good friends, so that
you may learn something, but instead
of that, his general cOntrariness has
brought him to condition that morally
he is depraved. My little daughter,
having no mother, 1 have been the con-
fidant of her when she could, and she
has confided to me certain conditions,
why l make this remark, morally de-
PRAYED, hates children, no use for them
no affection for his own. no love for his
wife, and hence l pity him because he
cannot see the necessity of approaching
the goodness and kindness of a good
and faithful wife, as / know she is, and
she has been q good daughter and is a
good daughter, faithful. honest and
true to her family, and hence / pity
him because he has lost the benefits of
an affectionate, loving, useful wife.
beneficial in every respect, done all the
work for him that he wishes her to do,
and she could never do anything to
please him that 1 know of, to bring out
an encourag ing word of affection, which
was due from a kind and loving hus-
band Besides l never knew him to
take one of his children on his knee,
never knew him to take one of his
young. One of them has died under
certain conditions it would be harass-
ing and embarrassing to mention, the
conditions from which he died, as the
result of his ignorance, that he might
have learned, and if he had profited anG
become what he should be, virtuous,
honorable; faithful, true man to him
SELF as we'll as to his family. Hence I
pity him for not knowing better, and
his contrarineSs for not believing his
best friend, one of them, on top of the
earth right here, for his fathers sake,
il l would not for his own, and l still
would love him, and 1 pity him,
could shed tears for the condition he is
in today, because he has gone beyond
redemption.
