der Burton, holds an office in Brigham's
military system, and has three wives.

All these government officials, inclu-
ding Mr. Stout, the District Attorney,
hold military Offices under Brigham
Young, and for a long time have been ac-
lively engaged in the business of arming
and drilling the forces of the church Of
Latter Day Saints for the great battle of
Armagedaon. This force is headed by
an Englishman an enemy Of the United

now will speak of the most important
United States official incumbent in the
Territory--the Postmaster Of Salt Lake
City. Mr.. Stenhouse an Englishman, is
the man. He went through the forms of
naturalization after his appointment as
Postmaster, before court that has no
jurisdiction to naturalize. Like the other
other United officials have named, he
has prosecuted the first duty Of a man in
Descrot raising families. He has but
two wives, BY the first he has eight chill
drcn, by the second, one. He took his
second wife after he had taken the oath
to support the constitution and laws of
the United States, and long after the pas
sage of the act of Congress prohibiting
polygamy. For a long time he denied his
second marriage But after about nine
months and the declaration of the first
matrimonial dividend, denial was changed
into admission. Such dividends are some.
times stubborn but noisy little things.
