A Horrible Death.

On Saturday evening about five
o'clock the lookup at Everett was
burned to the ground, and Jacob Dean,
a cOlored man confined in it, lost his
life in the flames. Dean had been
drinking during the day and became
very quarrelsome and abusive, and
borough authorities were called upon
to lock him up. Constable Richey
performed this duty, and shortly after
wards the lookup, a small wooden
structure, was discovered to be 10
flames. Several men hastened to the
building, and succeeded in making an
opening in the door with an ak, but
the fire had gained such headway
that they could not rescue the unfor-
tunate man. When the flames were
quenched, his charred body was found
doubled up in a corner. Dean was
frequently an inmate of the lookup,
and had said that the next time he
was put in he would burn it and him
self to ashes, and he carried out his
threat. He leaves two wives, one OF
them o white woman.--Huntingdon

E:Snn.NgSVT9 HAIR
" ~ REVIEWER,

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from faiing out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and viii create a new growth, except
In extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
Pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and /
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

Down ON the Mormons.
GOVERNOR NEIL OF IDAHO TERRITORY
WANTS THE SAINTS auPPREssEp.

WANTS THE SAINTS SUPPRESSED.
GoveBor Neil Of Idaho passed
through Washington on Monday en-
route for New York. He has become
CONSPICUOUS lately as one Of the BIT
terest opponents Of Mormonism, and
says the entire power of the Church is
being thrown against him. In con-
versation to-day he said: II hope to
see Congress take hold of this at once.
1t is an infamous organization. I
have heard it preached time and again
in their tabernacles that they must
spread out until they had gained po-
litical control of the entire Pacific
slope, and then, with Senators and
Congressman and votes in the Elec-
toral College, when these rapidly de-
veloping Territories had become States
they would hold the balance of power
between the two great parties. They
now coalesce with the Democrats in
Utah and Idaho, and by that means
we have Democratic delegates, while
outside of the Mormon population the
Republicans are largely in the major
ity. They are sending out colonies all
the time into Idaho, Montana, Wy
oming and Arizona. The Mormons
practice polygamy much more openly
in Idaho than in Utah, because there
is no way to punish them with US.
The marriage takes place is another
Territory-Utah-and consequently
our court has no jurisdiction over
them. The Government must cut
Mormonism out by the roots or in the
end it will have to be put down at the
point of the bayonet. Already they
think they can defy the United States,
and have seen q mob of 1000 Nor
mons in Utah march by the Federal
Court when it was in session and hoot
in derision of its authority. We must
resist this thing now or it will cost
bloodshed to put it down. 1t has no
right to exist because it is openly and
professedly reasonable and disloyal to
the government. 1 think the form of
territories where it has a foothold
should be abolished and commission
be appointed by the President to
make laws for the territory in place OF
the Legislature"

The following promises to become

History speaks of families who

and feed the stock, the fine blooded
cow could not be found, she having
gone no one knew where. After q
long and diligent search, in which the
whole household Joined, the missing
milker was discovered up in the hay
NOW? She was almost covered with
hay, and was quietly feeding, having
already devoured all the bran, chop,
etc., in the feed room. The owner of
the cow is in heap of trouble over the
questions: "How are we to get her
DOWN." They say it will take some
scientific engineering to get the ele-

The Providence Journal objects to
the admission Of Dakota as a State,
alleging that the present condition
and prospects Of Nevada has created a
general and just reluctance to admit
any new State the character Of whose
population and industry is not such as
to give promise Of future increase and
development" The Chicago Tribune
calls attention to the fact that such
comment comes with very poor
grace from Rhode Island, whose pop
ulation after 245 years Of settlement is
only one-han larger than that of
Dakota, after an organized existence
of but twenty years. The vote Of
Dakota in 1880 was 2S, 424, while that
of Rhode Island was only 20, 235.
Since then Dakota's population has
been largely augmented, while that OF
Rhode Island is stationary. No sec
ton of the Union gives stronger prem
ises offuture devlopementthan Dakota.
Its population is hardy, industrious
and intelligent. The Territory grew
more wheat In 1880 than all the New
England States combined, and as
much corn and oats as any of them,
with one exception. The objections
ofthe Journal have the disadvantage
of having no foundation in fact.

The Penny Saved.

An English paper says: "a penny
saved is penny gained" has long been
one Of England's standing proverbs.
The problem of late years has been how
TO save the penny. The Postoffice Saw
ings Bank would not take less than
shilling, and other banks that would
take the smaller coins were distrusted
since the failure of so many banks DUR
ing the English hard times. So the
penny was very apt to drift into the
dram-shop. Mr. Fawcett tsaw-although
physically blind man-the need that
existed Of giving the above proverb
practical value, so he is now testing q
plan for saving the penny. By applica-
tion to the postoffice an oblong card can
be obtained containing twelve spaces the
size Of penny stamp. The stamps are
bought, one by one, and stuck on this
card till there is a shilling's worth on
the card, then the stamped card is taken
at the postoffice, and the holder credited
with the shilling. Six rural counties
were selected as the place of trial, and
1900 accounts were opened at once.
The plan was recently extended to all
England, and now 10000 persons Lave
taken cards.

Work for Reputable Cltkens

There are enough reputable citizens in
every community, however, and more
than enough, who, if they choose to take
a little trouble about election time, could
put an end to "boss" practices and
purify all elections. For instance, the
primaries are usually taken possession of
by the lowest grade of corrupt politi-
clans, the henchmen of the "bosses," :"
and clean handed citizens and voters aud
taxpayers generally give them wide
berth because of their foulness. There
is no necessity thus to surrender primary
or nominating coventions to the birds of
prey. Combinations of citizens deter
mined upon clean business can take pos
session of these bodies, as they are in
duty bound to do, and compel them to be
representative of the voters.
