VOLUME SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 1892L NUMBER 383 5 O'CLOCK. ceived '.a his mail a letter from Patterson, in which he stated that he was on his way to Portland, Ore., where ho proposed to dis-pose of soma property he has there; acknowl-edged that he had absconded with the and money, faithfully promised to make restitution as soon as ht could. He also coolly in-formed his hanker that he proposed to apply the money obta?ncd from him In redeeming a lien in the shape of a mortgage which was about to fall due on his property in Oregon, but neglected to say one word anent the fellow-worame-n he had victimized in such a cold-bloode- d and methodical manner. This morning, when the stereotyped Ques-tion was propounded at the city halL the same stereotyped answer was returned. -- The ioregoing cases, which are Touched for by citizens of acknowledged probity, are in themselves , sufficient to cause the people to believe that the oft - repeated boast that the police department has purged the city of the crim-inal element is an empty one, and that facts which every citizen should know in order that he may safely guard atrainst an in-cursion from a member of the light-fingere- d gentry should not be suppressed in order to give the department a fictitious reputation which it does not deserve. CRIMINALS . . RUNTBETOWN A Burglarious Gang Now Raiding" at Will. BUT THEIR WORK IS BEING SUP-PRESSED By Those in Command at Police Headquarters. THE CITY ON THE VERGE OF A REIGN OF TERROR. .The Boast of the Police Department hat Zion Has Been Purged of Its Criminal Element an Empty One A Couple Chloroformed While in Bed and the Faet Suppressed The Albany Saloon Kobbed and Sam Jtlasterson Victimized The Police Apparently Unable to Cope With the iane Food for Reflection on the Part of Citizens. It is 6&fe to assert that there have been at least one dozen robberies, or attempts at robbery, in this city during the past week or ten days, and it Is equally safe to assert that not one-thir- d of the cases have re-ceived publicity. Why this is so can only be conjectured, but whether the fault lies with the people robbed or the police de-partment, is a conundrum which cannot at present be solved. Hardly a night passes but it is recorded that some belated pedes-trian has been held up or a residence visited by burglars, and still those in authority when questioned, will declare that the re-ports are either without foundation or too trivial for consideration. They may be sin-cere In the position thoy assume, but it is nevertheless a fact that criminals run the town, and that unless prompt and good work is done by those whose business it is to attend to such matters, a reign of terror will soon be - inaugurated. There are at least seven men con-nected with the police department who are specially detailed to ferret out the authors of crime, but for some reason their apparently herculean efforts have, with but one solitary exception, been barren of fruit for ft month, past. As a rulA. .tha.. reporters-o- f the newspapers have sought by silence to aid the police in effecting a capture of criminals and have quietly laughed when in answer to their interrogatory: "Anything new today V those in com-mand have answered: "No; the city was never quieter!" They knew better; but, as they believed the poor fellows were doing the best they could with the limited taient nature has en-dowed them with, the scribes have not been too inquisitive. This has been going on for weeks, each succeeding week find-ing the thieves getting bolder and bolder and the police more impotent. But now it is time for a newspa-per worthy of the name to call a halt and warn the people of the dangers that menace them. Charity forbids that the numerous burglaries of the past be unveiled, so The Times will only briefly detail the transgres-sions of the law its reporters have heard of during the past three days. Brief as is the period, the record is a formidable one, all things considered, and to thinking people will mean one of two things either the police force is incompetent to protect the people, or the gang now working the city is the shrewdest and most skillful men who have ever weilded a jimmy, or flashed a light from a dark lantern on a sleeping victim. w. p. noble's residence visited. Last Saturday night an attempt was made to force an entrance into the residence of W. P. Noble at the corner of H. and Brigi ham streets. Mrs- - Noble, fortunately, was apprised of her danger in time, and after hallowing lustily for help telephoned to the police station for assistance, but before it could arrive the would-b- e burglar took to flight. This case was not reported to the press. another friendlt visit. . On the following night the residence of a Mr. Palmer, at the corner of I and Brigham streets, was entered, but whether or not any articles were appropriated could not be learned. This ease was not reported to the press. CHLOROFORMED AND ROBBED. Last Monday night the residence of Orson Allen, at the corner of I and First streets, was invaded, and the burglar was rewarded for his darintr by securing $J0 in money and a diamond ring. The bare fact that the house was robbed was given to the press, but the most import-ant part of the item, if what a Times re-porter heard today is true, was suppressed. According to the reporter's informant Mr. not conscious of their condition until neigh-bors, who had been alarmed by the ear-pierci-cries of a child, had gained an en-trance to the house and restored them to their senses hours after the burglar or bur-glor- s had left. A TGUNO LADY ASSAULTED, On Monday night Miss Mamie Burrows, who is employed in her aunt's millinery store and who resides on I street, between Third and Fourth, while passing the Thatcher residence on Brigham street was accosted by two men. One asked her if he might accompany her home and upon her giving an em-phatic negative, attempted to despoil her of her watch. Fear lent speed to her feet, aud, without knowing or caring whither she was going, she rushed through the Thatcher grounds to her home, arriving there in an almost exhausted condition. When asked concerning the case today, Captain Donovan said it had not been re-ported at headquarters. A SALOON ROBBED. At an early bcur this morning burglars effected an entrance into Hirschler's saloon in the Albany hotel, near the Rio Grande depot, and robbed tho till of $40. . When asked this morning if there was "anything new," the gentleman in charge of police headquarters politely answered "No." 8AM MASTERSON VICTIMIZED. Last night Sam Masterson reported a ease at police "headquarters which is of more than passing interest, as quite a large sum of money is involved. It appears that a young printer named C. F. Patterson, who has been in the employ of the Tribune Job Printing company for some months past, skipped out for the Northwest yester-day afternoon, leaving Sam Masterson to mourn the loss of $316, which he advanced to him, as chairman of the Tribune job of-fice chapel, on the checks of his fellow em-ployes, who could not wait until pay day for their wages. This Morning Masterson rs- - f ants. "The record as now made," said he, shows that the defendants do not desire a fair and 6peedy trial of this case upon its merits." Ho stated that by "senseless objections, foolish motions and long arguments," which should have no place in the recori, they were trying to entail the mineral claimants great expense, and far as possible turn this trial into a mere burlesque." Mr. Davis protested em-phatically against any such course. He asked that a quietus be placed upon the de-fendants and their senseless objections. Mr. Bird, for the Central Pacific, was on his feet in an iustant and denied any such intent and set up that the motion of Mr. Davis was based upon a false misrepresentation of the record. 'We have a right," said he, "and shall exer-cise it to defeat that application; and as this witness, Robert Gorlinski, is uuder n and has been a most eva-sive and contradictory one, we admit that we have been required to use more time than we expected." Mr. Bird said if it became necessary to have the officers present, he should be de-lighted to have them. Quibbling and cross-fightin- g between counsel characterized the opening proceed-ings. fbe register and receiver stated that it was their opinion that the n had been carried on to unnecessary length, and that one or the other would try to be present during the remainder of the hearing. Mr. Bird promptly excepted to the ruling of the register and receiver, wherein they state that they believe the cross-examinati-has been carried to unneces-sary length. The taking of testimony then began, but it is of such bulk and volume that it cannot be segregated and cannot be published in full. The case has the car-mar- of being lone drawn out, with the railroad company playing for delay. a THE LA PLATA CASE. Attorneys Aro Sparring, and Then tho First Witness Contlnses. The third day's hearing of the La Plata land contest case continued tfcta morning in the United States land office. United States Deputy Surveyor Robert Gorlinski took the stand for the contestants. Immediately Mr. Davis, for the mineral claimants, stated that he desired to call the special attention of the local officers to the course of procedure adopted hy ike defend-- C OFU. I Captain Palmer Delivers His Annual Address Before the Veterans. HE TELLS HOW HE DEALT WITH THE RACE QUESTION Which Threatened to Disrupt Some of the Posts. SUGGESTIONSTO PROTECT CIVIL RIGHTS OF SOLDIERS. Adjutant-Gen- . Phlsterer Reports an Increase of 229 Posts During the Past Year, and That the Member-ship Is Xow at Its Highest Point It Will Remain Stationary for a Few Years and Then Necessarily Decline. Washington, Sept. 21. At 10:25 the en-campment was rapped to order by Commander-in-- Chief Palmer. A glee club of veter-ans sang a song inviting the encampment to Indianapolis next year, and were gloriously applauded. Commissioner Douglas of the District of Columbia read an address of welcome, and Captain Palmer made a taste-ful and appropriate reply. After the report of the committee on credentials had been received CAPTAIS PALMER MIDI HIS ANNUAL AD. DRE?S. Following, is a synopsis of the ad-dress of Commander-in-Chie- f Palmer to the O". A. R. today. A large portion of the address was directed to patriotic remi-niscences of the war and to the memories that the scenes around Washington recalled to the veterans. The race question, which has disrupted the G. A. B. or-ganizations in Mississippi and Louis, iana, was reviewed at great ' length, the commander explaining how he was forced to ' ignore the rights of the depart-ment of those states to surrender their char-ter, and to insist that colored posts, 9 to 1? must be recognized. After commenting ou the series of resolutions published by the recalcitrant and insubordinate retiring white posts, he concludes a follow - . In dealing with this subject I was not actuated by an unkind thought towards a single member of the department It was known there were dis-integrating forces at work, which the national encampment concluded it was time to arrest, aud in the discharge of that duty it was incumbent upon me, under ray oath of office, I did it with-out either the feeling of fear or prejudice. The passage by congress of the disability pension bill was warmly commended, and It was urged that the statutes to protect the rights of the veterans of the late war in civil service be more rigidly enforced. "adjutant general's report. The report of Adjutant General Fred Phlsterer followed the address of the comma-nder- in-chief. This report shows there was a gain of 229 in the number of new posts during the past year. A significant and most pathetic sentence of this report is the following: ' "Practically it may be said that the membership of the G. A. R. is now at its highest point. It no doubt will re-main about stationary for a few years to come, when, necessarily, it must decrease, and the decrease will be rapid." ONJl RAIL.

Chicago, Sept. 21. Telegrams received , at Atchison offices in this city from General Manager Robinson at Topeka axe to the effect that the train from San Francisco was running on time when it was wrecked near Osage City this morning. The engineer and fireman, were killed and several passengers injured. No names are given. The tool house at Barclay station had been broken open dur-ing the night, and a rail was removed from the track at a. point where the wreck oc-curred. The entire, train was wreckti with the exception of three sleepers. ... There is no clue as to who reaaovedthe rail and no pos-itive evidence that the object of the deed, was robbery. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 21. A special to the Star from Topeka says the wrecked train consisted of baggage, express and mail cars, two day coaches, two chair cais and three sleepers. It was thrown over an embank-ment three feet high, and the first six cars were telescoped. Four persons were killed outright and twenty-fiv- e seriously injured. THE KILLED AND INJURED. The killed were Express Messenger Fran Baxter of Kansas City ; Express Guardsman Bloomenthai. ofi Mexico; Fireman James Chaddicks of Topeka; Engineer Ed Moter of Topeka. Most of the injured are Western people, but among the number was Mary Lyman of.. Bloomington, Ills., who is badly injured and bruised about the head and face. C. T. Wordlaw of Elliott, Ills., is also badly bruised. The wreck occurred at a small bridga where there was a heavy down grade. Tha train was running forty miles an hour and it was impossible for the engineer to sear i the misplaced rails in time to check the speed of the train. The coaches piled one over another untiL. the baggage and express cars were com-pletely hidden from view. Men, women and children were piled over each other, , cauarht in the teaU and thrown through the windows. Belief first arrived from EaTporia-A- n examination of ths track shows the fisri plates had been carefully removed and bolt ' taken out and spikes drawn from ten tie4 and the rail bent over to the inside.

The World's Fair Commission Issues Another Circular Urging Action. FREIGHT PROBLEM DISCUSSED. It Is Hoped to Bring About an Ami-cable Adjustment Between the Merchants and Railroads Reports of Sub-Committe- es An Incorpo-ration. The Utah World's fair commission Is using every means to interest the miners, manu-facturers, . agriculturalists, horticulturists and all classes of people in the success of the Utah exhibit at the World's fair. The following circular Is being sent throughout the territory by Secretary McDaniel today: Are you interested in the World's fair? If not it ia time you should be. Utah is going to take pa rt in tMs great exposition as one of the com-monwealths of the greatest nation on earth, and the prid e of her citizens should be to make a showing in every way worthy, a credit to the ter- - ritory and the glory of her people. Religions creed or politics has no place in this exposition for Utah. It is to be a presenta-tion of the people, by the people and for the peo-ple, of oar wealth of resources, the products of the mine and soil, onr ingenuity, oar industries, and all that lends to distinguish as as a thrifty community to the world at large, accompanied by an invitation for all honest, industrious men and women to come and eettie among as. Every citizen is interested in the World's fair. First, from ' a national pride and a desire to see the United States excel iu good-nature- d rivalry the nations of the earth : second, because the in-terest of our commonwealth is at stake, and local pride aswell the public welfare demands that Utah should do her part towards making the World's fair a success; and third, tecause of per-- t onal inUrit and the benefit accruinz to each in-dividual citizen by reason of the fact that Utah has now an opportunity to appear in parade before thewworio, and attract both wealth and popnls- - tedHridojaatniHriA wianity. -- .

Utah World's Fair Commission. E. A. McDaniel, Secretarv. Salt Lake City, Sept. 21, 193. The Proposed Theater. As the signs indicate that we are to have a new opera house, perhaps a description of the structure will be of interest. The archi-tect describes it as follows: The entrance way will be a wide approach with tiled floor and decorated walls and ceil, ing. From this one enters the lobby, which is square in form, and the full width of the theater. The lobby extends the height of two full stories with balcony all around the second floor, giving the same tffect as in the Knutsfor l hotel. The decor-ation of this lobby will be Spanish-Mooris-which prevails throughout the theater. The floor will be tiled. To the right and left of the main approach will be flower and re-freshment rooms. The ticket office and man-ager's office are to be on either side of the grand stairway leading out of the lobby. The seating of the ground floor will be on such an incline that every chair will com-mand full view of the stage. Their will be ladies' parlors and toilet rooms off this floo. Beneath the rear end of the ground floor will be a large smoking room with refresh-ment stand and toilet conveniences. The frand staircase leads directly also to the balcony, which will have sixteen boxes, with two rows of chairs in front of these. This will be designed as the most fashiona-ble part of the house. The parlors on this floor lead to the balcony encircling the main lobby as described before; there will be conversation alcoves and corriders. Above the dress balcony is another balcony and at the top the gallery, which will be cut off en-tirely from the rest of the house and will have a fireproof stairway of its own encased within four brick walls. At either side of the stage on the ground floor will be two large proscenium boxes. The architecture and decoration will be Spanish-Mooris- h, which in its vsried resources in architectural form and colored decoration will give very rich effects. The house will comfortably seat 1500 people, with room for three or four hundred more standing. The interior will be modeled after that of the Grand Opera house of Paris. Under. the main lobby will be rooms set apart for fire and police patrol. The stage will be constructed with every modern convenience and appliance and with especial aim toward fire protection. The stage itself will be forty feet deep. Back of this will be a fireproof seenery and property room, so arranged that wagons loaded with scenery can drive directly beneath it and tbe scenery be hoisted into the room. There is ample provision in the way of dressing . rooms and toilet conveniences. Espeeial rooms will be provided for the painters, carpenters, electricians and janitors. In fact the stage will be a model of the modern stage, embodying all the best ideas heretofore used by stage mechanics. m ALL FOB F. J. CANNON. The Harrison and Eeid Club En-dorses His Nomination. WHAT A DELEGATE FROM GRAN-GER SAYS. There Xever Was a Fairer Conven-tion Than the One in Which the Republican Candidate IV as Put Up Other Political Points. The Harrison and Keid club held an in-teresting meeting at the headquarters yes-terday. E. D. R. Thompson presided, and after some discussion as to the business af-fairs of the clnb, Secretary . E. Ritchie suggested that the executive committee aud he programme committee combine and for-mulate plans for an aggressive campaign. . , The suggestion met with favor, and being put in the form of a motion, was unani-mously adopted. The question as to whether or not the by-laws of the organization should be amended so as to make it a distinctively Republican club iu local, as well as national affairs, was next discussed, and met with some opposi-tion from ColoDel Bells and others, who thou.ght that the origin.al idea of making it a umuuti Tncpuuv.t1ic: an ciuuv. su1 uum1 1 1ue u.j- - hered! to. ' '. Mr. .Thompson, referring to manors of among the members ovsr the nomination of Mr. Cannon, said that for' one, although re opposed the nomination, he proposed to support the choice . of the convention. Colonel Ferguson, who fought Mr. Can-non in the convention, expressed the same sentiment, and on motion of Mr: Wenger, the secretary, was instructed to ascertain the views of each member on the nomination. E. D. R. Thompson was chosen to till the vacancy in the executive committee caused by the resignation of Samuel Spry. The programme committee was instructed to extend an invitation to Frank J.Cannon to address the club at an early day. Calvin Rcasoner was called upon to ad-dress the club, and in responding he said that while he did not favor the nomination of Mr. Cannon he thought the candidate would make a strong fight and poll a heavy vote. Mr. Reasoner then discussed the principles of the two great parties, compar-ing the protection and free trade ideas in a very interesting manner. At the conclusion of the address. Colonel Ferguson offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Betolred, That the Harrison and Keid club heartily endorse the nominatica of Frank J. Cannon as the Republican nominee for con-gress, and pledge him the support of the ciub. The statement in tae Lioeral organ this morning that a move was made to disband the Harrison club at their meeting last night is totally false, as such a proposition was not even mentioned. The Iiarrison Ciub is one of the strongest and most active lleiMib-lica- n organizations in this territory, and there is not and never has been any lack of harmony among its members as to support-ing Mr. Cannon's nomination. The meeting then aajourned. Firvt Precinct Republicans. There will be a meeting of the Repub-licans of the First precinct in the south wing of the Fair building on Thursday uext at 7:30 p. m., for the election of a chairman and committees for the precinct. order made setting Tuesday, October 4, to hear return of sale of real estate.

JTarltHoii Bolton Wants S15.50O for 'Wilful and lalieions Proseeation A Suit Againftt the Horn Silver Third IMntrlet Court Proceedings Orders Made by Judge Bartrh Today General Court Xews of Interest. The litigation in which the Blue Jay Mining company has been involved for some months took a new and decidedly interest-ing turn today. It will be remembered that Jackson Bolton, the promoter of the enterprise, interested Hynim Groesbeck in it, and the latter pur-chased quite a block of stock. Afterwards, when the complications arose, Groesbeck had Bolton arrested on the charge of ob-taining $1300 from hita by means of false pretenses, but after a thorough investiga-tion the grand Jury Ignored It. Mr. Bolton now wants damages, and in his complaint he recites the fact of his arrest on a crimi-nal charge and subsequent exoneration. Ha allege that in this proceeding Groes-beck acted maliciously, wilfully and with-out probable cause; that afterwards, at the April term, 1832, at the urgent solicitation of Groesbeck, the charge was tgain submitted to the grand jury and again gnored; that the charge and arrest were extensively published in the newspapers through the defendant's procurement, and thereby the plaintiff was injured in his character and his business interests dam-ape- d, and he now demands judgment in the sum of $15,500. Bowman & iipp and Brown & Henderson are the plaintiff's attorneys. Before Judge Zane. The trial of the case of W. II. Joy et al. vs. B. F. Whittemore ot al. was resumed in Judge Zane's court this morning.. The ac-tion is brought by the plaintiffs to recover some ?.XK)0 alleged to be due on the con-tract for building the Union Pacific hotel and the trial has taken considerably more time than was anticipated.

Judge Kesler, in these piping days of un-certainty of official tenure, is possessed of a strictly business mood and no card sharp ever rushed the buck faster than he did the cases, on his docket this morning. i A WHITE-HAIRE- D PREVARICATOR. Benjamin Haddock, a white-haire- d patri-arch, charged with committing an assault and battery on Mrs. M. H. Mayne, at first declined to make any plea, but finally con-fessed that he was guilty, but how it hap-pened he could not say. "It is," said he in a voice filled wltu emotion, "the first time in my loos life that I have ever been hauled up before a bar of justice, and I am sorry that I have made such a commencement. I really cannot tell how it occurred, your honor, but I am here to tell ibe truth, and will confess that I was very considerably under the influence of liquor. Oh, it is a very sorry piece of busi-ness." The prosecuting witness declared that he given to drink, and that on yesterday accused her of informing the authorities "thai he had appropriated gravel, and empha-- sized his remarks by abusing her and push-ing her, chasing her and stoning her, until 6he to ok refuge in a neighbor's house. The defendant, who is 63 years of age, asrain expressed his sorrow, and the court, after de iveriag a lecture which was worse than the punishment, fined him $5. The parties live in the vicinity of Fourth South and Third East street. A JURT TRIAL DEMANDED. William Newton, as attorney for Mattie King, chartred with prostitution, asked that a venire for jurors be issued and placed In the hands of the constable of the precinct instead of the chief of police, as be was fear-ful that the officer detailed to serve the ve-nire iniffht he possessed of a biased or prej-udiced mind. The court declined to estab-lish such a precedent, and ordered the city marshal to comply with the attorney's de-mand. BE PAID THE BRAKEMAN. Charles Lewis, charged with stealing a ride on the Rio Grande Western train, en-tered a plea of not guilty and declared that he hud paid the brakeman for the privilege of riding from Grand Junction, Col., to this city.

MERCHANTS AND RAILROADS- - What Ia Being; Done to a Favorable Ad-justment of the Freight Problem. The public has anxiously been awaiting the report of the transportation committee appointed some time since by the merchants connected with the chamber of commerce to confer with the railroads in reference to adjusting the freight rates on Salt Lake im-ports. The impression was current that the cenference was to have been held this week; but it was incorrect. There will be no meeting of the committee of the msrchantu and railroads until early in the coming mouth. Superintendent Webber of the Z. C. M. I. says everything is moving along nicely to a favorable adjustment of the freight problem. The appointed to make re-ports on the various interests of the mer-chants, manufacturers and eme.ters lave nearly all reported. The transportation committee hei J a n. rat-ing yesterday and discussed the situv.iou thoroughly. All members of the coinnt'.'.iee appeared satisfied with the manner the work was being carried out and the progress made. Just what action the railroads will take in the matter is yet to be seen. There will be a demand for a good-size- d reduction in some lines, if The Times is not erroneously in-formed. But there appears to be such a clear ease of diicrimination, or exorbitant charges, against 8alt Lake freights, that there appears good grounds for a sweeping reduction in rates. CHOLERA SUSPECTS. They Are Under Surveillance In 31 any Houses the Quarantine Is Kalied. New York, Sept. 21. Two new suspected eases of cholera was reported to the health board today.

Some eight months ago a dashing young man named J. R. Simpson arrived in this c 1 Ly auu bwa. ijuniKis Bb luc jxuuiaiuru. lie announced that he was the general agent of the Edison company, of New York, and made the acquaintance of a large number of business men, particularly those engaged in the electrical line. Among them was Mr. Aunett, an old-tim- e electrician, and Simoson finally told him that he would appoint him general agent of the company for Utah at a hand-some salary. Anuett accepted, of course, and Simpson pretended to telegraph to the company for approval of his action. He afterwards showed Mr. Auuett a telegram indorsing the appoint-ment, but it has since been discovered that the dispatch was forged. Having completed the business satisfactorily, Simpson got An-ne- tt to go on a draft for tlM and then skipped. Of course Annett had to pay the draft. The swindler, it seems, went from here to San Francisco and worked the same game ou a larger scale, his operations there net-ting him over $1000. Simpson was written up extensively in the San Francisco papers, but be could not be located by his victims. A short time ago Mr. Annett went East, and while in Omaha yesterday he was sur. prised to meet Simpson on the street. He promptly had the swindler arrested, end has telegraphed to Salt Lake for the papers upon which to bring him back. Tent Lecture. The series of lectures advertised to be con-ducte- d in the tent north of the Knutsford hotel, were commenced last evening by Mr. F. T. Lamb of California, who spoke on the "Four Great Monarchies." The tent which has been erected on the spot lately occupied by the Mills revival tabernacle was crowded, and the audience evidently expected a treat of a first-charact- from Mr. Lamb. If such was their expectation, they were, to a great extent, disappointed, for the lecture, although of some interest perhaps to "Seventh Day Adventists" and kindred com-munities, had little charm for the mass of the people who composed Mr. Lamb's hear-ers. The four great monarchies, said the lec-turer, have risen and fallen as foretold in holy writ, and the nations of the present day aro all divided and hate each other with intense hatred, and although united by marriage ties between their leaders and rulers, yet do not cling together, and are arming to the teeth and making every preparation" for war, thus fulfilling the prophecy. "And in the days of these king-doms," says the Bible, "shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, and it shall break in pieces and shall consume all 'these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." The next thin?, then, according to this wonderful prophecy, which is going to take place is that the great God, who loves you and I, is going to set up his kingdom and destroy all others. That kingdom that we are taught to pray about at our mothers' knee when we say, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven," and when that happy time has come, which must be in the very near future, will you have a part tbere, will vou reijfn there? In his discourse this evening Mr. Lamb will describe the kingdom which God will thus set up upon earths . -- ,. ' LATE CITY NEWS. Now that the sewer ordinances have been passed by the city council, men will Bhortly find employment. The Press club will hold an important meeting today at 5 o'clock, and members are specially urged to attend. Alderman Moran again demonstrated last ni?ht that when the interests of the people are concerned he is always on deck. J. H. Vandenberge, stenographer of the city council, departed for the East this morning. He will be cone two weeks. The city hall attaches today subscribed a sum of money sufficient to enable Charley Glenn to have his Iliff-Uk- e locks shorn. Olty Attorney Hoge, now attending the Supreme grand lodge of Odd Fellows in Portland, Or., will not return home for ten days. J. H. Nishan, the plumber prosecuted yesterday on complaint of Plumbing Inspec- tor Lapsley, says that his trouble arose not on account of defective plumbing, but be-cause he failed to takeout a permit to do certain work. He gave himself up at the police station last evening, and was then al-lowed to go on his own recognizance. . UBS. HARRISOX AT HOME. She Arrives Safely at tha White Homso Af-ter Sncoesafml Journey.
