Excerpts.

4 Hartford (CoRn.) man was de-
nouncing newspaper advertising to Il
crowd of listeners.
:'Last week. said he, Il had an
umbrella stolen from the vestibule Of
the church. It was a gift. and valu-
ing it very highly, l spent double the
worth in advertising. but l have not
recovered it,
':How did you word the ADVERTISE
ment!" asked merchant.
"Here it is,'' said the man, produce
ing slip cut from a newspaper.
The merchant took it. and read:
:Lost from the vestibule Of the
- church last S n lay evening, a
black silk umbrella. The gentleman
who took it will be handsomely re-
warded by le:ving it at No. - San
Fernando street. -
::Now. said the merchant, f AM y
liberal advertiser. and have always
found it paid me we'll. \ great deaf
depends upon the manner in which an
advertisement. is put. Let us try for
your umbrella again. and if you do
not then acknowledge that advertis-
ing pays, l will purchase you news

The merchant then took 4 slip Of
paper from his pocket and wrote:
If the man who was seen to take
an umbrella from the vestibule of the
- church last Sunday does not wisl.
to get into trouble. and have stain
cast upon the Christian character
which he values So highly, he will
return it at once to No. - San Fer
nande street. He is we'll KNOWN
This duly appeared IN The paper
and the following morning the man
was astonished when he opened the
front door of his residence. On the
porch lay at least dozen umbrellas
of all shades and sizes, while the
front yard was literally paved with
umbrellas. Many Of them had notes
attached, saying that they had been
taken by mistake. and begging the
loser to keep the little affair qniet.-

ANTI. I.POLYGAMY.
The Senate Passes a Stronger Bill than the
one Which Went through the House

The Senate Passes Stronger Bill than the
one Which Went through the House.
Washington, February l6-The senate
this afternoon, aftes long debate, pass
ed the Edmunds anti. i.polygamy bill. II
differs from the Burrows bill passed nv
the house last week in that it makes DO
lygamy penal offense, disposseesas the
polygamist office holder and disfranohises
the polygamist voter, while Burrows b,ll
renders polygamists ineligible to election
to congress-. The action of the senate
goes step beyond that Of the house,
whose bill it will probably adopt when
IL VIII come up Tor consideration.
The house said men like Cannon, of
Utah, shall not SIT in congress. The SEN
ate says men like Cannon shall neither
vote nor hold any federal Office. The
contest III the senate, in which Hoar, Ed.
munds aud Bayard supported the bill,
and Vest, Morgan, and others opposed
it. arose over the disqualifying sections.
After prescribing penalties for polygamy,
and disq1alifying polygamists as Jurors
where polygamy is tn issue to be tried,
the bill provides for amnesty to those
now polygamists, and for legitimizing
their issues. Then its 7th SEQ.
tion provides that mo polygamist,
blgamlst, or any other person
cohabiting with more than one womaL
and no woman cohabiting with any of
the persons described, in any territory or
other place over which the United
States has jurisdiction, shall be entitled
to vote at any election held in any such
territory or other place, or be eligible to
election or appointment, or be entitled
to hold any office or place of public trust
honor or emolument in any territory OF
place under the United States" The
eighth section of the bill
vac Ates all the registration aud election
offices in the territory of Utah, and pro
vides that their duties shall be performed
by q commission of five, composed oi
members of both parties, appointed by
the president. until q legislative assem-.
bly,. to be elected under their direction
shall provide for the election of new
men. These provisions Messrs. Morgan
Vest. and Others insisted to-day were un
constitutional, but q majority of the sen
ate, which included its ablest lawyers
disagreed with them.

cANNEL COAL INl0WA.

Des Moines, Feb4l7-Considerable ex-
citement has been caused here among
coal men and also in business circles by
the discovery of new vein OF camel
coal. For years fragmentary pieces of
caDnel coal have been found on the low
er part of tho Des Moines river, but the
place of deposit could never be found. In
the last few weeks it has been found in
Red Rock township, Marion county, about
thirty miles below the city Of Des
Moiues. 1t was discovered on some
farms in that township by some parties
who were prospecting for coal on the
new line of the Wabash railway into Des
Moines. Finding it in seam in one
place, they tried in three or four other
places distant mile or two and found it
thero also. II is in a VEN five feet thick.

The MILES CITY TROUBLE.

Burleigh and kyes several Points Ahead.
Miles City, NJ. T., February l6-At
last the legal knot into which the alfaira
Of A. r. Nlninger e. Go. had been twisted
BY the Montana lawyers is united, aud
under the management Of the receiver
all creditors may reasonably expect a
speedy adjustment Of their claims. The
average Montana lswyer, while he pos
sesses the intelligence of the average
lawyer of any other territory, is prone to
deviate from the statute in his mode Of
procedure and very often forgets the
professional courtesy due to the oppo.
site side and the court. This fact was
rather forciblv illustrated in the matter
OF the receivershlp referred to above, in
this way. On the 10th inst, VIM. IL.
Cook, attorney at law,
was at Bozeman, some 3G0
miles from here, by the Judge OF the dis.
t.lct court entrusted with the delivery of
the injunction restraining Savage from
interference with Harding as assignee
and The order appointing Kyes receiver,
to tie clerk of the court at this place.
On arriving here, however, MIR. Cook,
who is one of Harding's attorneys, filed
the injunction papers, but neglected to
deliver the order appointing the new re-.
ceiver, as that would have necessitated
an immediate transfer of the property
held by Harding to the new receiver.
Messrs. Burleigh e. Cox, attorneys tor
Savage, who is greatly benefited
iby the appointment of this receiver,
learning that the order of appointment
was IN possession of Cook. Immediately
wired Judge Congsr at Bozeman as to
the fact of Cooks arrival and failure to
tile the order. Judge Conger immediate.
~ directed the clerk OF the court by tel.
egram to issue warrant tor the arrest of
Cook for contempt of court, and caused
him to appear before that official at Dill
Ion, zoo miles from here, to shsw cause
why he should not. be commit.
ted. This summary proceeding
caused Harding's counsel to file the
order Immediately, and now the new re.
celver has filed bis bond in the sum of
$1,000 and taken the oath of Office.
Cook passed the night in jail, and to-day
the court, by telegram. instructed the
clerk to admit him to bail in the sum of
s5oO for his temperance at the next
term OF court in this county. As O fur
ther punishment for the unprofessional
act of counsel for Harding, the Judge has
annulled the injunction against Savage,
who thus scores another victory.
