lars declaring that it has the Endorsement
of a lot of well-knoHA men named, includ-

The department of justice says that the
appropriations for witness and jurors
fees for the present fiscal year are short
because of the long continued sessions of
several courts jim different parts of the

the country, however, have already re-
ceived sufficient money to cover the ex-
penses of conducting the courts up to
July L.
An ingenious Colorado man DISCUSSES
himself for duck shooting by thrusting his
body into the skin of steer, which is
mounted on wire as If stuffed with a big
hole on the under side for the man to get
in through and two in the shoulder for him

There is prospect of trouble on the
Cattaraugus Indian reservation In New
York. The Indians cannot sell lands, but
for years whites have leased tracts of them,
imposing upon their simplicity to get
very low rents, and now the secretary of
the interior has ordered all these leases
cancelled and the tenants elected. The
latter have in some cases held possession
long time and made many improve
ments, and are naturally good deal ex-
cited by the turn of events.
Mormon missionary work in the South
is perfectly organized, with headquarters
at Chattanooga, presiding elders for the
various districts and eighty five preachers
of the rank and file. In the year past
there have been $50 baptisms, not count
ing the children of the "blessed." The con-
verts are mostly "poor Whites" ignorant
and degraded, but yet they are not well
coined if too poor to give the preacher a
little something and pay their OWL way to
Utah. Tennessee, Virginia and North Caro-
lima furnish great part of the recruits.
