Blank Cartridge Does Damage.

Park City Record: While holding a mock
dramatic rehearsal In the upstairs parlQr at
Maple hall Thursday evening, a six.shooter be-
ing fiourished by Jack Conway was accidentally
discharged, and the contents OF blank cartridge
was blown In The face OF Sam Billings, the
other principal In the drama. The young
mans eyes narrowly escaped permanent injury,
but outside OF a bad scare and having his face
well backened by powder, he escaped any real
hurt. Had the gun been loated with slug,
however, there would have been an entirely
different story to tell Dr. Bardsley treated
the victim, dug the powder grains out of his
face and quieted his nerves.

possibly three on Sunday, seems to think ne

him by providence AS a matter Of fact he Is
largely responsible If his boy turns out fail

Richfield Reaper: What is alleged to be
an organized system to polute the newspapers
and TO prostitute the public sentiment is being
exposed by William Allen White, the noted
journalist, and his remarks on the subject seem
very pertinent. Millions Of dollars are being
spent, 1t Is declared, in legitimate advertising

In naming the delegates to the national
republican convention four years ago. THE RE.
PUBLICAN was mistaken IN the use OF three
names-Smoot Howell and Glove. This mis-
take comes as result Of accepting "off.hand"
the statement OF one not more informed than
ourself The six men who went to Chicago
four years ago were II. Bullen Jr., President
Shurtlif, Ed Loose, Senator Sutherland. James
Fl. Anderson, and Willard II. Snyder. This
change will hardly alter the belief of most
people that the congressional delegation has
honors sufficient for the time being. Before
long all members will be asking to be returned
to Washington-but OF course, II there are no
good men unlionored in the state, we can send
lnese TO Chicago, also.
