Theue is now not tho least doubt that General Alger, of Michigan, will come before the next national republi-can convention as n candidate for the presidential nomination. This an-nouncement, coming from James F. Joy, a railroad magnate of Detroit, tho man who presented the namo of Blaine to the national convention in 1880, may be taken as ollicial as he is an intimate friend of Alger. It is conceded that General Alger will come before the convention with a strong following, lie is commander-in-chie- f of the Grand Army of tho Republic, and will have a strong pull on tho soldier clement. Another thing in his favor is that ho possesses a very largo "bar'l," which is a very handy thing to have in polities. .PARK CITY NEWS. The Cranks Meet and Kloot Officers for the Ensuing Year.

Hod Itless the Flag, Henry Wattersoa. The masses of the North rallied to tho Hag. The masses of tho South never quite warmed to the stars and bars, nor was there at any time during the war any deep-seate- hostile feeling against tho stars and stripes among tho confederate soldiers. The "Bonnie Blue Flag" was a poor jingle, The only spirit stirring song wo had was "Dixie," and we got that from Christy's min-strels, a Northern troupe. The truth is, the Union had the music and tho colors on us, as well as the the num-bers, and the North, at least, ought to be proud of us, that with such odds of muscle and sentiment against us we stood out so long. Happily, we have the Hag back again; that flag which never floated over a mean or cowardly action; whoso history is an unbroken story of patriotism anil valor, and which, as it spreads itself to tho battle and the breeze, to the sunshine, and the storm, tells to heaven and earth as plainly as words could tell, the origin and genius of our great re-public. God bless the flag! The South was never so fortunate as when she found herself once more encircled by its folds, drawn at Appomattox by tho hands of a magnanimous and bravo man. F.

Poundkceper Finn of New York esti-mates the dog population of that city at from twenty-liv- e thousand to thirty thousand. During tho past year the dog catchers caught 74GS dogs, 300 of which were redeemed by their owners paying $3 tine, the remainder being asphyxiated. A New Auburn, Mo., man took a novel way of advertising the other day. He managed to catch a large snipe and placed him in his store window among a lot of gaudy looking fireworks, with a placard about its neck bearing the following inscription: "A genuine Australian duck." Dr. Flint is quoted as saying: "I have never known a dyspeptic to re-cover vigorous health who undertook to live after a strictly regulated diet, and I have never known an instance of a healthy person living according to a strictly dietetic system who did uot be-come a dyspeptic." The increase of insanity in Berlin has made it neiessary that a new public lunatic asylum should be established Tho building, which is to accommodate 10(10 patienis, will be situated in the easterly suburb of Lichtenberg.

Dun & Co's. semi-annua- l state-ment regarding the business of tho past six months, and tho outlook for the balance of the year presents some val-uable statistics and information. The number of failures in the United States during the past six months was 5,385, a decreaso of 218 as compared with the corresponding period of 1889. Tho liabilities for the first six mouths of 18U0 were $05,319,881, while for the samo period in 188!) they were $05,828,. 853. . . Utah makes an excellent showing. There were only nine failures, with liabilities of $23,700, during the first half of the year. During the corre-sponding period of 1880, thero were fifteen failures, tho liabilities amount-ing to $50,100. Dun & Co. conclude from their re-ports from the leading trade centers that the business outlook for the lml-anc-of tho year is very hopeful, es-pecially as the crop expectations, taken altogether, are generally favorable at this time. In regard to Salt Lako city and Utah, Dun & Co. say: The protress noted In the preceding two re-ports has developed into a new era. that prom-ises unprenednnted prosperity foi the coming year. All leading cities of tills section have had a remarkable Increase in property valua-tions, which lsUnnly maintained by a strong demand, extensive building operations and continued public Improvements. All crops, with the exception of fruits, present a certainty of being larger and liner than for many years past, uud the shipment of produce greater In consequence. The yearly wool clip, heretofore estimated lit ll,UKl.0Uu pounds, and the excel-lent condition of the cat Me Interests, with the jrood prices prevailing, will place a large sectlou upon a firmer basis.

A Minnesota Farmer Worked by m Confi-dence Man St. Paul, Minn., July Trimble, an innocent old farmer from Clow, Kittson county, Minnesota, was worked by a confidence man iu St. Paul. On the way to the depot to take the train he was accosted by a man who claimed an acquaintance, and said ho was on his way to Pennsylvania. Trim-ble said he was going to Pennsylvania too. The two went to the train togother and took the same seat. The stranger finally got up and, saying ho was going to get $000 out of his grip, which was checked in tho baggage car, went out, and in a few minutes he returned and told Trimble that they would not let him have tho grip before they reached Chicago unless he put up $50 as security. He did not have quite enough and asked Trimble to help him out till ho couid get the $(100. Trimble had $30 and ho let the stranger have $35 of it and has not yet seen the man. Trimble was on the train bound for Chicago. Home Very Kreuchy Maxims. Alexander Dumas, Tho chain of marriage is so heavy that it takes two to carry it sometimes three. Nevertheless, of all tho stupidities of which man is capable, marriage is that which I would soonest advise him to commit; it is at least the only one which he cannot repeat every day.

James How-ard, the son of A. II. How-ard, of Lake Township, near here, who has been deranged for several years and was at one timo confined in the in-sane asylum here, left his father's house Sunday morning, saying he was going to bring on a rain to save the crops. Ho went to a country church near by, which he set on fire, and then started a blaze in a number of hay ricks half a mile away. He was detected and arres-ted. Ha declared that it was his inten-tion to have burned all the hay in the neighborhood, ahd also in the now town of Richards, in order to bring on a rain. Tho fire in the t'hurch was discovered and extinguished before great dauiage was done. Howard was taken at fcnee before the probate court, and again sent to his old quarters in the insane asylum.

Why should one-thir- d or evou a greater part of the smelting ore pro-duced iu Utah bo sent to Colorado, Kansas City, Omaha or somewhere else to be treated, whilo many of the stacks of our own smelters are smokoless and cold? Why Is tho chargo so frequently mado that smelting charges.are so high here? This is not asked in a spirit of criticism of our smelting men, but with an honest desire to know tho reasons. We do not believe our smelters would permit ore to be pulled by their doors to those of a rival concern across tho rango if they could prevent it. We do not believe that our smelters lack busi-ness sagacity or ask exorbitant prices for treatment unless they are compell-ed to. But what are tho reasons why they cannot more successfully compete iu the ore market? It is well known that oro is being shipped out of this territory by the mines of Park City, of Frisco, Tlutic, and nearly every other district. It is generally a recognized truth among smelling men, that in order to make such works successful they must be located near a commercial center whore a variety of ores can bo obtained. In this respect Salt Lake possesses pe-culiar advantages. From Bingham we can get load and carbonate ores. From Tictlo thero comes lime, siliclous and iron ores. Park city can furnish tho dry silver ores. Then as an additional field we have tho entire northwest to draw from, and which docs little good at this time, for wo gel very little of their production. But there must bo some good reason why we do not smelt more of these ores. It cannot be because labor is higher hero than in Denver. There may be some excuse because coke is higher here, or there may bo a discrimination in freight in favor of ore and against bullion; bnt if there is it should be looked into by tho chamber of com-merce and an attempt made to adjust the matter. It is a well known fact that 'railroads would rather haul two car loads of ore than ono car of bullion. It is the quantity of freight they want. In tlio case of the last named commod-ity, it was an announced policy of the Pacific railroads somo years ago to charge for transportation all tho pro-duct would bear. But Salt Lako is a city of some commercial importance now, and an unjust discrimination should not be permitted to go unrebuked. Smelting gives labor to hundreds of men, and a city's growth and prosperity depend more on tho number of men who work by tho day than on any other thing. It always costs a dollar's worth of labor to pro-duce a dollar in money, and the moro labor there is the more dollars there are. AVo ought to be tho smeltiug and manufacturing city of tho entire west, as well as the business and commercial center, and we will be if we strive for it. Our markets can bo "enlarged in-definitely. Our resources are but vaguely appreciated, and in the lan-guage of Monte Cristo. "Tho world is ours" if we only take possession of it. What shall it profit a Salt Lake citi-zen if an electrio car run so fasi through the city as to destroy human life, and stop at switches, lo, many minutes to enable tho conductors to Indulge In social conversation?

Bentel, a well-know- business man of Freedom, Pa., was arrested at his wedding feast in this city last night on tho charge of forgery. Tho arrest broke up the feast. The bride offered to pay the amount of the alleged forgery, $1,")0, but Bentel re-fused to permit this and gave bail for a hearing next week. Bentel says he gave a note endorsed by a Mr. Bauman, and that on account of litigation over some property the note went to protest. Bauinau repudiated his signature, and Benlel's arrest followed, just as he was about to respond to a toast to the health of the bride. The Ilerald says that it was not the fault of the central committee that tho People's party did not carry the eloc-tio- The Herald is correct. It was the fault of the Liberals. They are the ones to blame for tho result. We will give a prize of a year's sub-scription to The Times and a chronio to any man who will correctly name the candidates who will compose the Liberal ticket. All guesses must reach this ollice before Saturday noon. The opening chapters of "Two Sol dieks" will appear in the Saturday Times of July 19th. MONTANA NOTES. Sixteen Judith Basin cattle firms are moving their stock to northern Mon-tana, in the vicinity of Bear Paw and Little Kooky mountains. One hundred and fifty dollars reward is now offered for the capture of Dr. K. A. Crain, who forged several checks and skipped out of Missoula last week. F.ngineerMarr's work will onlv be a preliminary step towards the attain-ment of n navigation system, and that the river is navigable for four or live months in the year is well known, and with a judicious expenditure of money the river front Three Forks to Suit Kiver eoiild be made of incalculable benotit to the hundreds of farmers and ranchers within its reach. The famous First cavalrv band of twenty four pieces left Fort Custer last week for a three weeks trip. They will take in the National park, phiytwo weeks at the Urotulwaler Hotel, Hel-ena, and give concerts ai Butte, Ana-conda, Great Falls, Bozeman, Livings- ton and Billings. This band is consid-ered the second best military band iu the United States, being surpassed by but one other, the Marine band of Wash-ington, D.t Tho Butte lnter-Moitntai- makes a timely kick against the letting of a con-tract by the city to the Northwest Mag-azine to do several hundred dollars worth of "printing for Butie. Tho Northwest Magazine is published out-side of Butte and had no claim what-ever to the work, as it had never assisted in tho upbuilding of the city. There is. and always has been, one pe-culiarly unreasonable thing about nine-tenth- s of the western cities. When a large printing contract is to be awarded, it usually is given to an ollice outside the city. Jut why, nobody seems to' know.1 unless it is upon the false economy tint 150u paid out tuvav from home is of j more benefit to a city than $2000 ex-pended at home where it will be kept in circulation and aid in the upbuilding of home industries. Surely, the reascii-in- g of some men would never set the world on lire! Peiertcd Ills t'hurch. Mii.wai kke, Wis., July 17 llev. Eu- - feno (5. Updike, pastor of the First church of Euglevvood, 111., and for some years the most promising young divine of this state, today an-nounced that he hid deserted Method-ism and had accepted a flattering call from the First Congregational church of Madison, Wis. As a reason for for-saking the Methodist church. Rev. Up-dike states that the Methodist bishops have too much authority over the pas-tors and congregations, which they often abuse, and that tho Congrega-tional church is not burdened with any such direct power. Tue street car company should pro-vide gates for the platforms of all cars running on double tracks. Unless this is done some one is bound, sooner or later, to jump off the wrong side and be run over by a passing car, or break his neck colliding with a pole. Judge Foster, of the federal bench, has decided that thu selling of a bottle of liquor from a box containing several bottles is a violation of law in Kansas, as it is the breakingof an original pack-age. This decision, which is undoubt-edly correct, will result in making original packages consist of only one bottle. Died a Full Centenarian. Pittsfiei.d, 111.. July 17. Mrs. Eliza-beth Troutner died at her home at Time, near here, aged 100 years and 4 months. She was born iu Germany and eame to this country when 15 years of age. She leaves eight living 'children and sixty-eigh- t grandchildren and The deceased was the oldest person in the county, and up to within three (lays of her death, which was caused by congestive chills, she was able to be up and wait on her-self. A reduction in grain rates from Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri to St. Louis and Chicago is to be order-ed by tho interstate commerce commis-sion.
