The Curse of MormOnism.

Here is a horrible story told by
correspondent Of the Eureka Lcdder, of
what he saw at ogden, railroad town
in Utah where number Of Swedish
immigrants were waiting to take the
train to Brigham City:
| was looking on with great curiosity,
when l discovered tow-headed, bux-
ON girl weeping bitterly. Two or three
old women were scolding at her, and a
withered up old Mormon stood with his
arm around her. He finally coaxed
her off to his wagon, she screaming and
crying that she would not marry him,
and he never letting 60 OF her until he
sat her down upon the wagon tongue.
A girl was following them. alted
her and asked what was the trouble.
She said that this girl was pledged to
the old man and that ne had paid her
passage out; and now she did not want
to marry him because he already had
a wife and seven children. l asked if
she would beforced to do so. The girl
replied "Of course she will. They
have pledged her to him." Poor
thing the last / saw of her she was
struggling to get away from him, and
tile HIlH6I6Q ClQ l6llOH Was HOldliJS
on with both arms around her. 1t is
sickening to think Of such doings in a
civilized land. Dark as that girls
mind was, she had some grains Of viz
tue and some delicate instinct. The
despair pictured upon her face showed
that.
There is a terrible account for our
country to settle with that poor girl.
England was lately stirred with indig-
nation because girls were found to be
inveigled from London TO Belgium for
Immoral purposes; but what was done
there few times is done here a thous-
and times, and yet our country does
not dynamite the evil of polygamy.-

The Election in Oregon.

Sincs Sunday there has been no tele-
graphic communication between this city
and Portland. hence no definite news OF
the election in that state, could be had.
1t seems that Portland is also isolated
from the interior Of the state by inter-
rupted telegraph, and the papers there
are unable to furnish positive information
on the subject. A dispatch from Wash
ington city indicates the reelection of NJ.
C.George, by majority of something like
1890 or 2000. A Roseburg dispatch of
the 7th, claims all the Republican ticket
except Tor State Treasurer. Abrahams,
says The telegram, rnr 300 ahead of his
ticket.
Moody's majority, if in the actual
count, he gets it, is said will be 1000 less
than tha. of George. The legislature is
still doubtful Republicans now cnunt

The latest rage Is the tubercle parasite,
DR.. Koch and Professor Tyndall claiming
to have discovered that consumption of
the lungs and eognats diseases If the Kid
neys and int-stines are caused BY the
presence in the blood of living parasite,
analogous to that developed in intermit-
tent ard other fevers. Dr.. Koch seems
to have gone SO far in this matter as to
claim that consumption, Brisht's disease,
Addisons disease and all diseases OF the
liver are contagious. He SAYS the gerus
might dry up and ming'e with the dust
and air Of room. DR.. Koch proposes TO
breed these parasites until they ara large

An advance Of freights on the Central

advanced from e2 10 to g per hundred

vance Of rate on wagons is about the

will raise the price per C: '-load about

Now, it is quite likely that the e1tor-
ton will not stop .; this class of freight,
but that the modern avarice of the rail-
way companies will extend the advances

WARRKNs, l. T., June l, 1882
EprroR STArEsxAS:-The mining sea
SOC in this portion # Idaho is opening
uncommouiy late. Scarcely any CON-
panles have yet commenced to wash. The
customary cold north ~inds have blown q
perfect gaze nearly the whole month SO
far, and bare ground has been slow in
making ita appearance There is Eothing
ike the amount Of snow there was in the
mountains two years ago, but there Is
enough to insure moderately higa water
in the lowe: rivers, but probably not a
heavy freshet
We have had larger population WIN
terina in Warrens than usual The Chi
namen numbering 2l9 and the white
population about 90 Many staple articles
became scaroe, and some were entirely
exhausted. Cinnamon drove in . large
drove of hogs over the snow, which were
very timely indeed, and Bentz & Co., our
butchers, have more on the way. 1t IS
not probable tha. pack trains Will reach
here for four weeks yet, unless the Wea-
Their should be remarkably hot
The farmers along Salmon river and
branches complain that crops come for
ward slowly, but there has been no frost
yet to injure fruit or garden truck.
Several of our old residents who WIN
tered outside have returned to camp, laid
aside their plug hats and ulsters and
donned the customary habiliaments of
blscksmiths, miners, etc. They speak
highly of the beverages consumed IN all
the lower towns, but complain that white
chips brighten unusually as they take
their fight. We have, also, another well
come addition 10 our charming circle OF
ladies'. Mr.. V. Hexter, of the firm of
Bensen Il Hexter, Of this place, about a
month since, swooped down like an eagle
from his mountain fastness and bore away
in triumph one If Dayton's fair daugh-
tiers. No one can truthfuliy say the la
dies of our territories are depreciating in
physical strength, courage, etc, for Mrs
Herter returned with her husband up the
terrific canyon of Salmon river on horse
back and travelled the last 40 miles over
the SLOW on snow-shoes.
Indications point to greater rush to
Wood River from the rest Of Idaho this
year even than last. A great many peo-
pie want to go there Just to see the coun-
try, without any definite idea of staying
or of making anything.
An idea has always prevailed here that
Chuck and more of the Sheepeaters,
would eventually return to their old
home in the mountains. am happy to
expect, however, that no indications have
as yet been observed of their return to
any point. within hailing distance of
Warrens. There was small band Of
about seven in the lower end of the Long
Valley of the Payette a year ago. They
departed thence, however, before citizens
and soldiers arrived, and could not be
distinctly or certainly traced oat, but
were presumed to have gone eastward,
which would take them to the old haunts
of the Sheepeaters. Even if they are
there now. they are not numerous enough
to cause anJ great alarm, still most of us
know from observation how much harm
one or two concealed Indians can do with
arms Of precision. n. B. ".
