Be Sure it's Your Wife then Go Ahead,

Last night two buggies stopped at the
Capital hotel and two gentlemen Jump
ed out almost simultaneously and went
into the hotel, leaving two ladies in
their respective buggies. One of the
men came out in advance of the other.
and by the uncertain light thrown from
the hotel was led aside from the actual
fact IN the little matter of getting i'm the
right buggy. In word, Mr.. j. got in
with Mrs. f., who were as totally un.
known to each other so far as acquaint-
anceship is concerned, as ifone had died
ten years ago in Africa and the other
hadn't been born. AS married men often
DO, MI. j. drove some distance before
speaking. Finally he remarked:
"Ive got corn on my toe the one
you persist in putting your foot, too
that hurts about as bad as the common
run of things generally do.
The lady was very much surprised,
and rather haughtily replied:
"You've been trying to pick a quar-
rel with me all day, and now t O make
the matter more exasperating, you
change your voice to an unnatural
growl."
"lts you, madam, who have changed
My voice is natural. am not irving to
assume anything. You screech like an
old gate"
"You are an old fool.
"Give my teeth here; you shan't wear
them another minute"
"Teeth teeth! What in the world
do you meanY
But just then driving through flood
of light, the parties recognized that they
didn't recognize.
"Madam," said Mr.. j., stopping the
horse and Strengthening himself up, al
hope you will excuse me, but | would
like TO know how you come in my bug
gy, and furthermore I'd like little in
telligence as regards the whereabouts
ofmy wife. What have you done with
her, madamf~
81 don't know what you mean, sir.
Get out of my buggy"
"Your buggy! Why, madam, YOU
are beside yourself"
"Yes, and beside yourself, which fact
l deplore TO such an extent that 1 will
be forced to call the police"
"Police! policel" was shouted Justify
and when Officer Daily came to the spot
the woman insisted on the mans ar
rest.

Capital just in time 10 meet another
buggy, the occupants of which had a

Tiled TO Murder his wiie.

Leroy Cotright, of Spencer, awoke
his wife Friday morning and told her the
Lord had commanded him TO kill her.
Mrs. Cotright had sufficient presence OF
mind to make no demur, but got per-
mission to go down stairs and see her
sick mother before being slaughtered,
and once down, she scooted for the
nearest neighbors, nimbly pursued by
her husband. Assistance was procur-
ed, and after a severe tussle, Mr.. Cot
right was secured and placed in dur
ance. He had become suddenly insane
from scrofulous catarrh, and Is sup
posed to DO incurable. Though we are
certain that a faithful use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
and DR.. Sage's Cstarrh Remedy would
effect speedy cure. For many years
these remedies have been acknowl.
edged as positive specifics for all
scrofulous and catarrhal affections.

II Was Alive.

An interesting feature ofa number G
the foreign sections at the Paris Exhib
ton was the soldiers who had been ser

nominallv to guard the exhibits, thoug
principally as a sort of ornament, the

AT all events, one fine afternoon, as
we were passing through lne American

perfectly straight, and absolutely still,
near one of the show cases. Rather
perplexed at his attitude and at the se-
robustness of his expression, we sought
post of observation and waited.
For while no one noticed him, but
as he continued immovable, some one
presently stopped before hin and
stared. Then two, three, four, six
idlers stopped to see what the first idler
was looking at. There stood, the SER
geant, grave, silent, and motionless.
An incredulous smile appeared on the
faces of the observers, and their num-
Der doubled, trebled, quadrupled. The
sergeant had not moved. Some one
ventured to touch his hand, another
followed, and presently dozen curl
GUS people were beeling him from head
to beet. Not muscle relaxed-he had

Grattan's house. He and his aged

evenings very pleasantly, and he sun

friend from the East paid them flying
visit and asserted over and over again
that the game of checkers was not only
all the rage there, but that 1t served 10

due thought, MrGrattan walked down
town and purchased checker-board.

A Revolving Crime.
!S,n Lat, Tc;b.s.. i'm. u.


A report comes Of a most disgusting
affair which has occurred in the family
Of 4 leading Mormon in the Sugarhouse
ward. We suppress the names OF the
parties because OF the seriousness Of the
charges and the great difficulty In prov.
ing them. as only the parties implicated
know the whole truth, and to tell i;
would send them all to the State
Prison. II Is said that the son and
daughter OF the high priest in question
have been criminally associating them
selves together. The fact became sp-
parent in the course OF time. and the
necessity Of shutting of the scandal
every day grew more imperative. The
young elder left home. and within a few
days the youthful Saintess came to town
to live. While here she was attended by
a professional gentleman. who sent
her back TO her parents a few days since.
having accomplished m abortion. A
thing so horrible can scarcely be believed,
but IL comes TO Us on such reliable
authority as TO leave no donbt OF the
truth OF the story. But the most lament
able feature Of the affair is the existence
under the protection o! the American
dag OF a so-called religion which results
in the commission Of such crimes,
and q public sentiment which shields
their perpetrators from punishment.
