RESOLUTIONS condemning polygam

RESOLUTIONS condemning polygamy
and instructing their representatives in
congress to vote its determination, have
been introduced and passed in all the
state legislatures now in session, The
public sentiment of the country has been
aroused on this subject to some purpose
this time. The enactment of law by
congress looking to the removal of this
curse from Utah will undoubtedly result
from the present agitation of the ques-
ton, and it will then remain with the
president to execute the will of the
people.

SOME THING HAPPENED.
Some Fast Girls Took a Fast Ride and
Smashed Things.

Some Fast Girls Took Fast Ride and
Smashed Things.
1t would be strange in view of the good
sliding and vast number of flyers that
took turn on the turf yesterday. among
so many cutters driven in some instances
by the Ia de dab boys and girls, if some.
thing didn't happen. This would be
strange, bnt to cut the figure something
in this instance of fast horses, reckless
drivers, hot blood, and jingling sleigh
bells did happen. The episode occurred
about 7:30 O'Clock last night as follows:
Among the many who went for a spin
over the snow yesterday afternoon, were
four young variety actresses, named Vio-
la Ray, Nellie Waters, Alice Gilmore and
Celia fired. They engaged couple of
fast fillies at Morehead & Preston's barn,
on Wabashaw street. and started out for
q ride. After drive into the suburbs
they started back about 7 o'clock. By
the time city was reached the horses were
pretty we'll warmed up for brush and
the girls braced the ribbons for an old
time test Of speed.
They got on to Ninth street when the
hoop-la was given, and the horses struck
out for all they were worth. 1t was neck
and neck, and the sport was becoming ex-
citing, but on reaching St. Peter street
the horse attached to the cutter contain
ing Viola Ray and Nellie Waters at
tempted to turn the corner when the
sleigh upset. The animal became fright
ened and ran away, and while Nellie
Waters was thrown out unframed, Viola
Ray became caught in the gearing and
was dragged over block.
She was picked up unconscious and
carried to apartments, where 1T was
found that she had received only slight
injuries. She remained insensible some
time, but cynical bystander remarked
that it was partially owing to stimulants
of narcotic character taken while on
the ride Meantime, the horse kept on
down st. Peter street till the cutter was
wreck, and when stopped at Fourth
street the tendons of his legs were found
to be cut and bleeding.
After the accident, Miss Gilmore and
Iferd drew up in front of their residence
on Ninth street. While indoors their
horse became frightened, and breaking
away he took spin around town on his
own account In this instance the horse
was injured and the cutter also damaged.

them. Tonight they filed solemnly out
of the court room to deliberate finally
upon their verdict. And while hard
ened criminal was expressing his satisfac-
ton with judges charge, which left no
loophole for his escape, they settled with
out delay upon the verdict. Then when
the court had reassembled in the fantastic
light of flaring candles they returned to

at the Superior End of the Line.

Superior Cor. (Jan. 25.) Duluth Tribune.]
The excitement consequent upon the
breaking up of the Air Line has begun
to subslde, and the town is gradually set
Ting down TO its oldtime everyday man
ner. Men are hourly arriving from the
camps along the line of the defunct road
and pass through town in squads of tens
and twenties, with the inseparable evils
censin Saratoga trunk" on their backs en-
route for Duluth. 1t is pitiful sight to
see the poor fellows as they trudge along
look of men who have been
robbed of their all The
town authorities still continue
to furnish food to the men as they arrive
at the former headquarters of the COM
pany at the Lefthand river, which is a
most worthy and cemmendable action on
the part of the town board, as many of
the unfortunate laborers would otherwise
be forced to go hungry: There was en-
gagged on the work of the Air line about
fourteen hundred men, and tits estimated
that about one-half of that number have
already arrived and passed through town.
The remainder of the force are expected in
to-day, and as there is said to be some very
hard cases among them the town authOri-
ties have deemed it advisable to have the
saloons remain closed until the men leave
town. The saloon keepers were willing
to take the risk of keeping open, but they
had no way to avoid the command of the
officers, so they could do nothing but grin
and bear it, The burst up of the Air Line
has not been without the usual ludicrous
incidents, among which an eye witness
relates the following: At the station
known as the twelve mile camp, where
there was a force of three hundred men,
the sheriff left deputy in charge OF the
material levied upon, to see that nothing
was destroyed or carried away. After the
sheriff had departed the men formed in
line on either side of the shanty, in which
the deputy was sitting resting his limbs,
wearied from a long tramp. A strong
new rope was obtained and a hangman's
moose tied in it by one of the men who
walked into the shanty and adjusted it
about the neck of the now thoroughly
frightened deputy, and marched him out
between the two lines of men while
another of the party brought up the rear
with an ancient violin in hand from
which gushed forth, under his artistic
manipulation, soul inspiring notes Of the
dead march. Arrived at the end of the
file of men the attention Of the ill used
deputy was called to the out
stretched limb of tree that
stood close by, and told that he
might have his choice, either to vanish
inside of two minutes or swing in mid
air from the limb of the tree pointed out
IT'S scarcely necessary to say that he lost
not q moment of the two precious min
utes, but started in the direction of town
on a go-as-you-p please gait that would
bring a blush of envy to the cheek of the
famous O'Leary could he but have seen
the magnificent strides that deputy was
making to get himself hence from the
pressure of the 1rate laborers.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO KEEP DOWN
THE PRICE or WHEAT.

1t is a conceded fact that the wheat
crop of the United States for 1881 was one
hundred million bushels less than that of
1880, while the corn crop fell nearly six
hundred million bushels short. This
great decrease in the food supply of this
country, at time when the crops of
Europe are poor and England is at the
end of seven poor crops of grain, should
give the farmers of the United States
large prices for their productions. 1t is
to the interest of every merchant, bank
en- and railroad man that the farmers
should have the largest price possible for
their wheat-rich farmers mean a rich

while it is clearly the interest of the whole

Gilbert, Oppenheim, Wilgus, Berlandi,

A communication was read from E. N.
Sanders, president of the Northwestern
Fuel company, calling attention to the
fact that the warrant for $1,000 on &C.
count of wood furnished the board, had
been refused payment by the city treas
urer, on the grounds that there were no
funds to the credit of the board. In view
of this and the fact of the $4,000 worth
of wood furnished the board
no part had been paid for,
the board were notified that the company
would henceforth decline to furnish any
more wood under the agreement. The
communication closed by stating that
unless some action was taken to settle the
matter, suit would be commenced to en-
force payment of the bill. 1t was &C
cepted. The communication gave rise
to spirited discussion. Inspector DON
nelly stated that the high school had been
closed yesterday, Friday, for the reason
poses, and that the fuel company had re-
fused to honor an order. Inspector Benz
spoke in favor of purchasing wood any
where in order to keep the schools open.
Inspector Oppenheim spoke in favor of
advertising for new bids. Remarks were
made by Schiffman and Wilgus.

ance that they would receive settle
ment. He thought the special committee
appointed to check off the fuel bills had
been derelict in that duty

get the committee together but without

vein in the Guiteau family
The man at whom Guiteau flung his
threat, that if necessary the deity would
remove one of the jurors, sat next to
Browner. Ralph Wormley is a we'll
known colored laborer. He lives in How
ardtown, is plasterer by trade and has
lived in the district nearly all his life.
When the jury was being selected many
of the spectators thought he showed an
undisguised desire to be chosen, and it
decided purpose to get on the jury.
When he was attacked with the erysipe-
las, which settled in his eye, the whole
country was filled with fear lest he should
die and the trial would have to be gone
over again. Fortunately the fate which
the assassin prayed for did not overtake
Wormley, and if he went on the jury to
find Guiteau guilty he lived to do so.
The eleventh juryman, Thomas Helm
lein, is of an old East Washington family
of that name, about forty-fi years of
age. He is machinist by trade, and
was employed in the ordnance depart
ment Of the navy yard as brass finisher.
George W. Gates, who occupied the
