One OF the most prominent subj @c's OF pub

system for liquor saloons. Either there is
some inherent defect in the system OF entire
prohibition of selling liquor, or the policy
of the prohibilioEisls in carrying the system
where authorized into practice has been
mistaken one, for, after many years OF IN
tense struggle and effort, that system has
not wrought theeffect that had been so con-

SIOUX City, April 19.-The Journa! pub
fishes the following story: about year
ago a youug woman named Sallie Craig liv-
ing between Loveland and Honey Creek was
the sweetheart and promised bride Of VIM.
Moss, young farmer, who resided in Love
land In few months it was agreed that
they should be married. Before the wedding
cay arrived, however, trouble arose between
the lovers over the somewhat too attentive
presence Of John Points, slso young farm
err, who resided near Honey Creek. Moss
and the girl qusrreed and separated, and
she was thereafter for time the beau of his
rival. Subsequently the fret lover and the
girl met again and partially made up their
differences This enraged Points, who had
come to regard her as his own, and he sought
to pick quarrel with Noes and in some way
get an excuse for putting his hated rival
out OF the way. The men met
on two occasions during the past
three months and each time had quarrel
and would have fought, but we're prevented
froJa doing much damage by the circum-
stsnces and parties who separated them. At
a dance about ten days ago the rivals again
met and came 10 blows. They were again
separated, and the girl was appealed 10 to
determine the question by choosing the one
she liked best. she was unwilling to do SO,
but said that she would go with the one who
proved himself the best man. 1t was ac-
cordingly agreed that lime and place
should be fixed, and there the men should
fight it out, the one who was whipped to for
ever relirquish all claims to the hand of the
cause OF the trouble. The dispute by this
time had been 60 widely talked of by the
people of both Lovelsnd and Honey Creek
that a natural jealousy between the two
places easily caused the citizens of each to
lake sides. The place OF the fight was agreed
upon as half way between the respective
residences, and the time Thursday afternoon.
A man from Loveland seconded Moss, and
POINTS, brother acted as his second. The
| fight was not to be conducted according 10
any specific rules, but in the most APP
proved ough-and-tumble style. When
| Thursday afternoon arrived about sixty PEG
pie were on the ground, among whom was
| the girl over whom the contest was caused,
to witness the brutal affair. The seconds
stood with cooked revolvers in hand and
warned no one TO interfere. The men COM
| menced fighting fercely. they used fats,
heels and teeth, and ia clinching and
| tumbliug about rolled over large area of
| ground. The fight lasted fifty five minutes,
and throughout was one of the most brutal
| character. 1t was brought 20 fatal conclu-
sion by Points strength entirely giving
way, and then Moss, with the last efforts OF
| his m adness, stamped upon his prostrste foe
| and crushed in his breast and kicked in his
head. The spectators at this overpowered
the seconds aud dragged the men apart.
| Points was dying when picked up, and ex-
| piIed soon afterward

IN the Conqregqti0naList, Of April Sd, IS an
article from the pen of Mrs Jennie A. Froiseth
on "What the Edmunds Bill has Done for
Utah" which should be generally read. 1t is
not long but it tells truly how the Mormon Gus
toms of that Territory make it impossible for the
Edmunds law to perform any etfectusl work there.
l. reviews he law section by section, and shows
wherein the law fails to meet the expectation OF
its author, and why. The conclusion is most
sensible one that what is needed is to recall the
organic act Of that Territory, and substitute for
it the direct power of the general government.
