Vaughn insisted on being allowed nn udvanee , us ho wus greatly in need of tha uuuicy , nnd stniod that ho was under bonds to thu county , etc. O' KeolTe moved that $700 bo uitvnnccd on the bill.

County Auditor Evans , however , will prob ably liuvo somotliinp to say about thu amount of the Democrat's bill.

At the figures named In the contract the rinllng of the tax list would amount to j'572.40 , u reduction from Mr. Vaughn's fig- urea of Sl.457.45. If it is decided to allow only the amount luo under the contract Vaughn Is ahead of the counlyjusl $127.54. The report of Jud 40 Shields for tno third unitcr showed SoOI.Otiori hand ns fees.

Ilia last attack of "jim- jams" wus the third ho had undergone within 11 few months. On the morning in question lie had started on another spree. At about 11 o'clock in the day ho had about all the liquor on board tie wns able to carry. Stopping into a sa loon on one of tlio principal streets ho called for a swig of "hugjulco , " which was promptly refused , the Iwrtendor noticing the condition of the man and remembering his late battle with the snakes. Ilnrloy scowled and turned tea a gas jot to light his piue. A second later there was a drunken moan , a Hash of alcoholic llame , and Ilarloy fell heavily ono lloor , his head and nuck vciled'in smoke , while blue jets of llanio wore issuing from his earn , mouth and nostrils. As soon as water could-bo pro cured ( water was a commodity rather fecaroe around such places ) it was dashed in the sufferer's face , not in time , however - over , to save his lifo. The face was as black as ifiat of a negro. The oars were charred , the inside of the mouth black , and the tongue ronsleu to a crisp. It was a horrible and uncanny death , one for which a duplicate would bo hard to lind. INFANT TRAIN WRECKERS. Hrm Two Tjittlu HD > S Out Hcveiij e on on n Conductor. Two little boys , aged eight and ten years , male an attempt to derail the White Mountain express because the conductor of a freight train refused to give them a ride , says a Concord , N. II. , dispatch. Their names are Arthur and Percy Abbott. They were on their way to Northliold and i riod to steal a ride on the freight train but were put oil at East Concord. They then contin ued their journey on foot. As the White Mountain express , a very fast and heavily loaded train , was passing south a short distance above North Con cord , it struck some obstruction on tlio track. The wheels of the locomotive and cars luckily eaupht the track again after passing over tliom , though the passengers were badly shaken up and frighloncd. " The train was stopped and it was found that a do/wn or more llsh- plalos had "been ulaced on the rail with the evident intention of throwing the train olT. The pieces of iron were ground up under the cars tearing pieces from the plank llooring. Tliu boys were detained when they reached Can terbury by the station agent , who thought they were runaways , and to him they confessed that they had placed the obstructions on the track out of revenge for being put oil the freight and intended to derail the train. The escape of the White Mountain express from a terrible casualtv was remarkable , as it was going at a high rate of speed , and had it left the track the loss of life would have been frightful. * llcrnhardl'H Cruiy UcailiniMan. .

A HOT CAMPAIGN INAUGURATED. 1 ho " People's Party" Already Drum- mini ; Up the b'nlttidil In An- liclimtltm of the Kcbru- nry lOlcCtion. In Knit Iakc. Utah , Oct. 7. [ Spocml to Tun UDK.J The political struggle now bcinff Inaugurated In Salt Lake City prom- tics to become ono of the most exciting nnd Important ever transpiring In this Intermountain - mountain country. For eastern renders to fully understand the situation r.omo explana tion Is needed. Hvor since the Mormons settled Utah they nave controlled the poli tics almost exclusively. However , slnco the coming of railways and the opening ot mines , the non-Mormons have been Booking to < ? ntn political power , and their efforts promise soon to bo crowned with victory. Formerly alt non-Mormon citizens were known us "Gentiles , " whllo these withdrawing from the Monimu church were classed un "Apui- tntcs. " The term "church" ns used by all people outsldo of Utah Is supposed to apply to religions denominations engaging in devo tional csrroiaca unit looking after the spir itual interests of Its members. In MormonIsm - Ism It is rc.illy a misnomer slnco the aim of the orfiutmntioti la BO intensely for political power , rather than for the spiritual welfare ot the people. The "church" In the past has dictated who should hold the ten liorhil , county und municipal public ofllcos , and after their election they Imvo been compelled to conduct the affairs of their olllcesla con formity with tuo wishes of the "Priest hood. " The rcauor may want to know who are the priesthood. At the head of Mormomsm three is n president with his two counsellors and twctvo apostles. Then como presidents of statics , bishops , seventies , elders , toucnors and lonpllst of OI1ICC19. all under the ahvction of the presi dent , his counsellor * , uul the upoUloj. 1 ho thousands of minor oillcors , nil bceUinc nro- motion Into more lucrative positions , ftsvo Bre.it strenetu to the organization , while they are very active in collecting from tlio runK and flle the slnows of war in the form of tithing and other contributions. This system has boon so well organized and con ducted as to enable the leaders or cniof men to learn Just how faithful every member of tno ctiurch" is toward it , nnd in case of any signs of upostacy or weakening in the faith , U ) mcto out such punishment as will make them nioro loyal to them. Twenty .years ago the destiny or every uersoa in Utah was hold in tlio hands of tno then great ruler , IJrlgliain Young , president , prouhot , seer and revelator of Hie church. Then only a few such men as the WalUer biothersV. . H. JyawreiiLO.W. S. UoUby and some others had tlio courage to dispute the authority of Urlghum Young , hut with light brcaulng over tin ) valley in tno form of cust om und western men coming hero to as sort their rights , n gradual change was made for the better , for a score of years bravo men and women have been strivimr to put down polygamy , the vulnerable point for at tack on Mornionlsm , in the hupo that with tlm downfall of that relic of barbaric times would como , also , the downfall of ecclesias tical and political power of the "church. " Some years ago the anti-Mormons "Gen tiles" and "Apostles" organized the liberal party , and have over since been lighting under that name. Mho Mormons , under their guise of not being apolitical machine , and claiming not to unlto ctiurch and ttmlo , chose for tueir side the name of "apostle party. " It is true that the people are permitted to go through the form of holding conventions to nominate candidates for onleo , and arc then expected to vote for them , but it is neverthe less true that these nominations are simply the "sustaining" of the dictations of the chiefs. Utah , as a territory , is decidedly Mormon , but the liberals have made such in roads on their ranks us promise soon to change this in a laivo number of counties. Summit county is already in tlio center of Iho liberal party , anil its chief town , Park City , has u liberal city government. Last February the city of Ogden , the second largest city In Utah , elected a full liberal municipal ticUet. Next February Salt Lalco City will elect n liberal city directory , providing the colonization of Mormons docs tint defeat it. Ibis city nas ulwnju been considered the great center nnd stronghold of Mormonism.

Augunt S lust the election for members of the legislature resulted in tlio selection of eight liberals to servo In the session to con * VOHO ncxt.lnnunry. U was nt tlmt election tliat victory win won , which was heralded ever Iho country nn u giunt eventjfor Salt Lnko City , The Mormons became Alarmed Jiut bcforo the election , nnd did nil In tholr power to cot out their full voto. They claim to Imvo gotten out ever nlnoty-llvo par cent of tholr vote , wlillo the liberals lacked twenty-live per cent of getting out their vote , nnd yet carriud the llvo city precincts bv forty-olio majority. This was a revela tion to the people , and l.ns created great en- Ihusliism here , und universal interest throughout the country. Among iho Mormon lenders this election caused consternation. They nro now trying to nrouso the people by holding meetings nt wnlcli old. disfranchised polygamist men who have served terms In thn penitentiary under convictions under the Edmunds law , mm old women attend nnd plead for the voters to slick tn the people's party. Tlioy huvo iiiso Imported men from outnldc sottlo- incnta to work on publlunud private unpibvoj iiients that they may hole fasten Mormon rule on this city for nnothar term of two years. On thu other hand the liberals nro organizing clubs in each of tlio twenty-two wards , and arousing such onthuahiMii ns In sures success. Tncso ward clubs are bolnp uniformed , assigned by companies to regi f ments and nil to form ono til ? brigade In rouuhir military order. . 'Ihero Is n big ilium corps and also n thtmbcaiiK club. Two years ago the pro- Bi-nt Mormon city directory was elected by over six hundred majority. For the liberals to carry the city seven weeks ago by a ma jority of forly-ono was no small victory.
