PIONEER DROPS
DEAD At HOME

Not so with the recent bride. One Of

MURDERER WAS
NOT A STRANGER
So Far the Slayer of Van
Royen and the Two Women
Has Escaped.

Kansas City, Mo-. Oct. pa corO-
ner's inquest over the bodies of AlOnzO
Van ROyen, his wife and her sister, Miss
Rosa Mcmahon, who were murdered on
their farm five miles west of Kansas
City, Kan, Wednesday last, was begun
today. No arrests have been made.
The county authorities today are
working on a new theory which arises
from the fact that the Van Royen home
stead showed no evidences of a hurried
search by the murderer, though rob-
berry is known TO have been committed.
The murderer was some one familiar
with the premises and some one ac-
quainted with the family, and not a
tramp" said Prosecuting Attorney Jo-
seph Taggart today. From the nature
of the wounds, the murderer must have
fired several shots into each body after
it lay on the ground. This indicates to
my mind that he was some one who
feared he would be recognized, and de-
sired to be sure all were dead"
Patrick Mcmahon, brother of the two
murdered women, testified before the
coroner's jury that friction had existed
for some time between the Mcmahon
family and the Van Royens, due to the
decision of Van ROyen to sell his farm
and move to Colorado, a proceeding
which met with the disapproval of Mrs.
Mcmahon, mother of Mrs. Van Royen.
The families had gradually become
estranged, until lately their relations
had dwindled to mere recognition Of
each other.
The jury adjourned for one week
without rendering a verdict.

CANVASS SHOWS
GOOD CONDITION
Investigation Develops Fact
That Republicans Gain in
Every Precinct.

Complete returns for the last canvass
by the Republican city committee will
be tabulated for reference on registration
day and turned over to the city chair
man before o'clock tonight. The can
vass has been the most thorough ever
taken in city campaign. and the reports
made to City Chairman Fred G LOofbou-
row last night indicated Republican gains
in every precinct in Salt Lake
These gains. ii is said, are most notice
able in the Second and Fifth precincts,
which, on the first canvass, showed an
unusually large percentage of voters who
were marked doubtful or uncertain
against Bransford." The doubtful and
uncertain columns in the canvasseTs'
books used in the last round are nearly
cleaned up and the gain has been almost
entirely confined TO the Murdoch col
umn.
In preparation for systematic work
next Tuesday, the last day for registra-
ton, force of p clerks was busy all day
yesterday filling out postal cards and ad-
dressing them to several thousand Re
publican voters and others classed as
doubtful. The cards all bore the simple
reminder that the one to whom they were
addressed had not registered and called
attention to the location OF the registry

CURING CATARRH.
Accept Our Advice and Try This
Remedy at Our Risk.

Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane is.
one may say, the interior lining of the
body. Catarrh therefore may exist in
any part of the system.
When the ca tarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails to throw off the accumulated
poisOns. The organ which has been af-
flicted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended it should
The result is, complication upon COM
plication, which may lead to other
even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe ReXall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward overeom-
ing catarrh. 1t is made from the pre-
scriptiOn of an eminent physician who
made a long study of catarrh, and his
great success with this remedy was an
enviable one.
We want you If you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give Rex
all Mucu-TOne a thorough trial. Use
1t with regularity and persiStency for
a reasonable time, then if you are not
satisfied, come back and tell US, and
without question or fOrmality we will
hand back to you every cent you paid
us. This is certainly the fairest offer

FLAGRANT VIOLATION
OF CITY ORDINANCE

fragrant defiance of the city ordinance
regarding bill boards on the public streets
was shown by the American party man
ayers yesterday when they erected two
large bilIboards on the pavement in Main
street in front of the site where Tom
Kearns will erect a building partly on his
own ground and partly on ground owned
by the city.
Seeking to evade the ordinance which
says that no bills shall be posted on
fences around a building site, the party
managers erected their b1lIboards about
six inches inside of the fence, which eX-
tends about % feet out over the pave
ment. On these billboards were posted
some samples of the American party
campaign literature designed to distract
the attention of voters from the real is
sues of the campaign.
The action of the American party in
placing the billbOards on the street was
regarded as logical from party point OF
view, and it was argued that inasmuch
as Tom Kearns owned the property FAC
ing that part of the street which belonged
to the city and his political party tenn
pOrarily owned the city, kearns had a
double claim on the ground on which the
billboards were erected, and the city ordl-
nance should be classed for campaign
purposes with the ordinance against gam
bling and a few others.

NEW CABINET IS
ANTI-CLERICAL
Spanish Republicans Hail the
Fall of Maura With Feel
ing of Relief.

Madrid, Oct. 22-The fall of Premier
Maura and the conservative cabinet, has
produced a feeling Of relief and encour-
ages the hope that a period of internal
tranquility has been ushered in. 1t is now
an open secret that Mauras refusal to
give King Alfonso an opportunity to par
don FeTrer is regretted by his majesty.
Mast Of the republican senators and
Deputies express themselves as satisfied
with the latest turn of events, particularly
as to believe it marks the end of clerical
influence with the government. One of
these said today:
openly anti-clerical and thus it becomes
possible to establish an anti-clerical pol
icy so necessary to Spain"
However, radical members of the coTtes
like Deputy SOrianO. who is also editor
of Espana Nueva, announce an intention
to fight the new ministry because of it's
alleged monarchial tendencies. They pre-
dict q series of swift changes bringing
about a situation like that begun with the
instruction in the fleet in 1868 and cuI-
minating in 1873, with the abdication Of
King Amedeus and the establishment of
a shOTt-liveG republic. The liberal papers
are filled today with rejoicings over what
they term the end of the tyranricaI rule
Of MauTa. The FL Paisa, a republican
organ, demands the passage of anti-cler-
ical laws similar to those of France.
Announcement was made today of the
appointment of the Duke of COVaT as gov
ernor Of Madrid and Senior Aguilera as
MAYOR.

wife, who was Miss. Anna Gould, place
the three sons of the Castellane- Gould
marriage in a certain boarding school.
and the Princess de Sagan having OBJ

the children made such a step mad
visable, the case got into court today.
The count asked that the princess be
ordered to comply with his wishes, and
further that the court provide a penalty
for a neglect of the order in the shape
of a settlement upon the children of
500 per day for each day that their
mother kept them from the school.
Counsel for the princess said his
client was willing to place the children
in the school as desired, and was ONLY
prevented from doing so by the condi-
ton of their health The court prom

scene they discovered hard PROPOSE

confronted by a large crowd of men
and women, all of whom were keen on

as well as the general public, worked
as they never worked before, and when
it was nearly / o'clock, the time at
which the search was to end, Miss
Dimples emerged from the crowd in
which she had been mingling during
the entire time in one of her most

present threw up both hands as he re-
