Armour & Co. further argue that

the graiu standard, which, on account
of competition, Is not nearly tariff

rate, would make the dressed beef rate,

The new school law contains good
many excellent provisions not in the
old. 1t has the compulsory clause in
the law of 1869, making it obligatory
upon all children between eight and
eighteen years to attend school at
least three months in year. 1t also
provides that in all incorporated
towns and cities the city assessment
roll shall be used to compute special
taxes upon, and makes the school
clerk of such districts the collector of
such taxes. 1t gives county superin-
tendents 500 per annum, and COM
psls teachers to attend county insti-
tutes, allowing their time to go, as
though they were teaching school.
1t will be published in pamphlet form
in about three weeks, the Legislature
having ordered 5000 copies printed
for distribution among the countless
Courier.

business; besides, there are 5 stores,

A writer in the Chicago Tribune
quite graphically describes cargo of
Mormon immigrants side-tracked at
Weldon station. He describes them
as the very scum of Europe, as mere
cattle, and as ignorant, debased, dirty
and repulsive to the last degree. Yet
low down in the ranks of humanity
and intelligence as these Mormons,
by all accounts are, they seem able to
defy the Government of the United
States and to set at naught the opin-
ions of a nation of fifty millions Of
