The Sale Lake Telegram" October

THE Lieutenant and the Cowboy, is
the best thing seen at the Grand thea
tire this season. 1t is a clean-cut
western military drama, and the cow
boy play without the usual claptrap so
often found in a play Of that charac-
ter. But two pistol shorts are fred
during the action Of the play and both
OF these are out of sight of the au-
dience. The author, Anthony F..
Wills, has tried to depict at least one
cowboy who is not the usual stage
type, and has succeeded well. The
character Of Bud has been a great
western favorite for three seasons
and at times his followers could not
approve Of the plays he has selected
Tor their entertainment, nor of the
manner they were produced, yet with
all they could help but admire the
palnstaking care which he has tried
to give each production In "The

O'OOAOvAN SAYS CANDID ACY
 STORY TRUE

DOUGLAS. Nov. so.-(specysl )-
 The announcement publisl ed in the Dispatch yesterday morning that Dun iei A. o'Doaovan had armour ced bfm- self as a candidate for the de uocratic nomination for sheriff next falb1sas a general topic Of eonr7s sation about the hotel Hobbies ard streets of the city yesterday. It e me as sulorise. so far in advance of the next eleclsan and being made by republican news paper
 MT. o'Donoyan was seen by an In- ternational representative yesterday afternoon and asked if it were true that he was a candidate for sheriff on the Democratic ticket He unhes- itatingly replied. Sure I am. I shall seek the nomination and. ask my friends to support. me before the pri- mary when the time comes. If 1 i shall secure the nomination I will work equally hard for the election, and if elected I will promise a faith ful and businesslike administration If can get the. nomination I shall ex- pect the support of the voters. If an- other is successful he will have my support"
 The general impression is that the announcement was made rather early It is agreed that Mir. o'Donovan has scored continued successes in his management both of the Douglas street railway and in producing a win ming baseball team, that he is an en- thusiastic worker for all that he be- lieves to be for the good of Douglas and would be an honest. conscien- tious and hard working official in any office to which he may obtain political preferment
 The direct primary law is now in vogue in this territory. It is for the people to decide whom they wish placed upon their party tickets and the press of the parties will generally keep out of the party primaries. If the people of the county shall select Mir. O'DOnovan for any office on the Democratic ticket in the direct pri- mary, when it comes to election the international will be found at the fore front of his supporting ranks.

MOUNTAIN LOSES CASH IN DARING
 HOLDUP

DOUGLAS, Nov. sO.-(special.j-
 A daring robbery w.s perpetrated last evening in the yards of the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad com. pany opposite the office of the resi- dent engineer. E. R. Mountain is the victim of the assault and subsequent robbery. He. has been filling posi- ton for a short time with the rail road, in the absence of another em- pToye, and completing his work for the day, last night about six o'clock left for the Byer's home, friends with whom he has been stopping, on Four teenth street. In the yards of the railroad and near the engineers of flee he was struck down and robbed, what the weapon used being un- known. He recovered consciousness about seven o'clock and called for aid Assistance came and be was taken to the hospital where he is today. When Mir Mountain was taken to the hospital he did not realize that he had been assaulted, but thought that he must have fallen. The nature of the wounds on his head. however, were such that they could not have been inflicted by fall It was later discovered that he had been robbed of his purse containing some $I4 and that the robber had overlooked other valuables he had concealed on his person. The fact of the assault is borne out further by the signs of a fierce encounter and the blood stains about the spot where Mir Mountain fell. The theory is that the first blow dazed him so that he did not realize he had been struck. but was still able to defend himself until other blows rendered him wholly uncon- scious.
 Up to noon the city and county of- ficials had not been officially notified Of the affair.

no headquarters. He did not visit the headquarters of any of the organiza-
 aon that nominated him. He made an active speaking campaign, but the time in which he was not engaged in speaking was spent at home. He re- sorted to none of the arts and tricks of the practical politician to make himself solid with the voters. His speeches were rot models of elo- quence or studied efforts to please. He threw discretion to the wind with q carelessness that must have been a constant source of apprehension to the political trimmers and time-serv- CTS who supported his candidacy. With it all he was elected by an overwhelm- ing plurality.
 It is so unusual for a candidate to spend no money that the practical politicians will look upon the case of Judge Gaynor as material for special wonder. Probably Judge Gaynor is the only man who ever ran for may or Of New York and spent nothing but time in his canvass. In the light of his experience the question arises: Why should it be deemed necessary for a candidate to expend a large amount Of money? Had Judge Gay nor disbursed ten, twenty or hun dred thousand dollars he couldn't have secured many more votes than he received in the campaign in which he spent nothing. If he had laid out big fund it apparently would have resulted in nothing except little easy money for the political grafters. who are always on the lookout for that sort of thing in the days pre- ceding election. Most candidates are bled mercilessly. They submit to it merely because they are candidates and have a hay idea that to spend money literally adds largely to their chances of eleocoL.
 Judge Gaynor has set good ez ample. What may be done in New York may be done elsewhere. The legitimate expenses of campaign srs 70. heavy. Lavish expenditure is en- trely too common among candidates. It is wicked. wasteful and silly and does not tend to better public service or to better standards of ciuzenship. It is one of the evils of American pol itics. and 1t is by no means the least of them.

EXPERIENCES OF PAST isTANr' AS SAD GUIDE POST POINTING TO MOST UNHAPPY CONDITIONS AS RESULT OF EFFORT.

BOSTON, Nov. 3O.-One of Boston's "old school copper men, who was prominently identified with the "set- clement" which had to follow the ia nous attempt of Nj. Secretan and his syndicate to corner the production of copper, says:
 T seriously question whether. in view of the experiences of the past, any attempt is now being made to se- cure in any sense of the word a cop I per monopoly. If a new copper com bination is forming. and it is possible to conceive that the Amalgamated. Cole-Ryan and Guggenheim properties may be brought together, I do not think they will attempt what the Sec. retan syndicate and the powerful bankers affiliated with them failed to accomplish twenty-two years ago.
 Disaster awaits any attempt arti. ficially to regulate the copper indus, try. If 50 per cent of the worlds out put would agree to curtail production 10 per cent, and the selling price of copper should be advanced as a re- suit thereof, it would mean that the outside production of the metal would be quickly stimulated and the 50 per cent of unassented output would secure a larger measure of ben. eft than would those who agreed to curtaf.
 'Secretan in 1887 secured the co operation of fully s5 per cent of the then wold's copper output and his syndicate, backed by the RothschiIds, conceived the idea that it would be possible by owning all the copper. or substantially all of it to regulate the price and force the consumer to bow me knee
 ''The syndicate thereupon made three-year contracts with the pro ducers to purchase at specific figure around 1S cents per pound-alI the copper which the mines could pro duce, no limitations being placed on the voiGme of output All the worlds copper. excepting about 5o,O0O.OO0 lbs. produced in Germany. Russia and Japan, was brought into this interna- tional agreement, and millions of dol lars was pledged to carry it into ex. ecution. Immediately after signatures had been affixed the syndicate ad- vanced the price within thirty days from II cents to Is cents and above
 The consuming interests however, were alive to the situation and re- duced their demands to the lowest possible point. An enormous amount of old copper was broken up and re. smelted the available supply proving vastly greater than had been anticI. psted by any one, and forming. per haps. the largest single factor in the downfall of the syndicate Is required only eighteen months, however, to convince Secretan of the futility of his efforts as after the accumulation Of 167.000 tons of copper, or 374,O00.. 900 po>sds. the syndicate collapsed and confessed utter failure After
