DIssEcTED.- On Saturday evening" just
Il hours after the execution Of the mur-
derer Alfred Anderson, the dead body of
the criminal was taken from the corOn-
ers Office. and unknown to all hut those
engaged in the affair, removed to the
medical college of the Willamette Uni
versity, where it will be dissected and
closely examined by learned surgeons in
the interests Of medical science. When
the coroner WAS asked yesterday if he
had any objection to stating what had
become of the body, he replied in the
atfirmative,and would give no further in
formation than that the body had been
disposed of in the manner provided by
law. He had kept the body "a hours,
and after the end Of that time had de-
| livered it to the first duly accredited sur
geon who had applied for its use, in or
der to promote medical science, as The
| act OF the legislature of October. 1873,
| provides. Who this doctor was, the
coroner did not wish to state on account
of special request that had been made
TO him, and he, having paid no further
attention to it, did not know where the
| body had been taken. That it had been
taken to the medical college and was un-
dergoing dissection was afterwards
learned from prominent physician and
surgeon who Is interested III the exam
ination that IS being made.
Mormonism is becoming favorite

utterances OF members OF the commission
who denounee the alleged immortality of
the system and its growth, Yesterday
at Lake Bluff camp meeting near
! Chicago the subject was discussed In
extenso. Rev. 7. Il. Hilton, who had a
! long residence IN Utah, was the chief
speaker. From what he had seen of
| MormOnism he was convinced that un-
less radical measures were taken at an
early day TO stamp it out IT would hold
/ The balance of political power in the
Union. Perhaps no religion in this OF
any other country had such great ele-
ments of strength as Mormonism, owing
! to the complete plans of missionary work
and colonization. These were sources
of power and strength that would make
! the faith of the most formidable enemy
civilization has yet encountered, if not
trampled down. He said theft, robbery
and murder were advised by the priest
hood to which those of the faith were
most obedient, as was proved tou by
| the investigation of the Mountain
Meadow Massacre. The faith vas in
every way degrading, especially the
/ polygamous portion of it The religion
now had absolute possession of Utah,
and there was a good reason to believe
that before long they will control Idaho,
I Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico if
Christianity did do all in its power. The
speakers plan was to have the govern
ment establish commission to investi-
gate the condition of affairs in the terri
tories and force Americans to establish
schools in every place where polygamy
had secured hold, and in that way

HORSES WANTED. - Almost every
steamer brings one or more driving
horses from California. Buyers have
learned that it is next to impossible to
find trained horses here, and that the
quickest, surest and cheapest way to get
a thoroughly "broke" and stylish team
is to send to San Francisco. This seems
and IS remarkable in country celebrat-
ed for its blood and, too, where the mar
ket for carriage horses is certain and the
prices at all times high. One fault of
the Oregon horses is that they are not
properly trained. Gentle, spirited and
speedy they may be, but they have never
learned their business and few who
want horses for pleasure driving have
either the skill or the inclination to train
them. In San Francisco or its neigh
borhood there are many horse trainers
who make a business of buying promls-
| ing colts, developing their speed and
bringing out their best driving qualities.

BILE their cost. Not inErequently extra
ordinary speed is developed, and then
the trainer makes ''ten strike" But
pursued as a regular business, horse
training has been found highly profita-
bic. If farmers and others here would
only learn that there is almost as much
in the training and style OF a horse as
i'll the breeding, and that one hundred, or
| even two hundred dollars IS often added
to the value of an animal by afewweeks'
judicious grooming and driving, they
would give more attention to matter
now almost neglected There is at all
times a demand in Portland for driving
horses at from two to five hundred dol
lars each, and it would seem that so fine
a horse country as Oregon and Wash
ington ought to supply it. Animals are
