Geo. q. Cannon, Of Utah, ex-dele-
gate to Congress, one Of the influential
and rank pOlygamists, in a late expOsi-
tion of his views, believes if the Uni
ted States Senate pass stringent laws
forbidding polygamy, they will not pass
the House, for the reason that body is
Democratic. He looks on the DISPOSE
ton of the matter as purely political,
and not social or religious question.
He says the Mormons are mostly
Democratic, and the Democrats are
supposed to be their friends. He says,
"Our only hope is in the success Of the
Democrats: if the Democrats get into
power we shall be let alone" Whether
the Democrats, if in power, would take
the MOrmOns under their wing for
protection is not so clear. There are
right-thinking Democrats who detest
Mormonism; at the same time there
are political traflicers in that party who
would not modest Norm onism or any
other abomination to gain party
strength,

BEER BREWERS AND POLL

and also those who have neglected to
take out naturalization papers. The
object Of this list is to ascertain the
exact political strength of those en-
gagged in the beer traffic. 1t is said the
brewers will organize party distinct
from the other parties, il sufficient
strength is developed. This would
seem to be hardly necessary, for the
reason they can obtain any amount of
aid from the Democratic party on con.
dition of sharing the offices with them

Some account was given few
months ago of the new German Luz
theran church in the north ward of this
city. The old church building of the
society was found too small to accom-
MEDIATE the congregation and the pres
emit new and handsome edifce was
built to meet a pressing want. Since
the occupancy of the new church the
congregation has been steadily grow
ing, until the audience room is now
well filled on the Sabbath; the average
attendance, it is said, is quite as large
as at any other Protestant church in
the city. 1t is pleasing to note the
success of his church enterprise. The
pastor of the church, Rev. Mr..
Strassguth, is an earnest preacher, and
has the cordial support of the congre-
cation.

CLEAN WATER FOR COWS.

We find much interest aroused every
where upon the subject of the water that
cows drink. England is fairly crazy about
it Some go so far as TO advocate the pas
sage of laws by Parliament, forcing farmers
to grow hedges or build fences around all
ponds, swsmps or mud holes, to keep the
COWS out of them. Then comes forward
many writers claiming that COWS often have
depraved tasTes, and will hunt nasty water
to the entire exclusion of better article.
This we ALI know is true, and nothing but
the greatest precaution will prevent such
COWS from INDUCING their depraved appe
tites.-American DGirymdn
One reason why cows will drink swamp
and mud hole water is because of its higher
temperature. They generally dislike cold
we'll water, and will nearly always select in
preference running stream which has been
warmed by the rays of the sum- If they
cannot get this they will drink from filthy
pools of standing water. Any man possessed
Of q thimblefull of brains can see that such
drink must prove injurious, both to the
health OF the cow and the quality of her
milk. We have seen each summer for
several years a sinking pond hole aon
farm IN thls county, In which herd OF forty
cows could stand up to their bellies in hot
water, rendering it still more filthy by their
droppings. and it was the only place in
which the COWS could obtain drink. And
yet the owner pretends to be an intelligent
dairyman. When spoken to about it, his
reply was 81 guess it don't do any hurt,
the COWS seem to like that kind of water. !"
1t would have required but little labor or
expense for that owner to have dug we'll
put windmill to it and good-sized tank.
The sun would warm the water in the tank
to degree that is relished by the COWS.
To complete the job the pond hole should be
fenced around or else drained by sinking q
we'll down through the clay TO the under
stratum of sand and gravel Just as long
as that farmer allows his COWS access to that
sink hole, will he have bad milk and there

The most fashionable gambling re-

Mediterranean, near Nice, in the
province of Monaco. The adyentu-
rous dudes, fashionable loafers, sprigs
of royalty and sportiye members of
aristocracy from all sections of Europe
meet and stake their thousands. Of
course, the stakes being heavy the
losses are heavy, also, and not infre-
quently the infatuated players lose
fortunes at sitting, and many others
lose their all. be it great or little.
Monte Carlo has of late years become
as notorious for its many suicides and
murders as for its gambling. The
desperate losers, plunged into poverty,

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS.


"Last Sunday will ever be held
memorable by the Christian churches
in this city. 1t marks an era in the his
tory of mission work in the Territory.
For eight weeks the revival meetings
have continued, gathering force in
their progress. The real results of the
meetings were shown on Sabbath morn
ing, when each church, by pre-
vious arrangements, held a communion
service for the admission of members.
AT the Congregational church the COM
munion service was on long to be re-
membered. The house was filled to
overlooking by members of the church
andlfriends of the candidates. There
was no sermon, only the communion
exercises. Two presented themselves
for membership by letter; tweGty-six
others on confession of their faith
were recommended for membership by
the church committee, and all were re-
ceived. OF the whole number sixteen
were baptized, and eight children in adj
dition. Nine Cinnamon, the fruits of
the Sabbath school work, were among
the number, these new members be-
ing mostly adults
AT the Presbyterian church the SER
vices are represented as having been
deeply impressive; a large number unit
ed with the church. AT the Methodist
church, the Tribune says, "the SER
vices were profoundly interesting. A
large number presented themselves for
membership of the church." Never
before in the history of the church
has there been such a day of triumph ?
The three churches again united at
the Methodist church in the evening.
The church was crowded to its utmost
seating capacity. Rev. +. 7. Lee, of
the Congregational church, preached
an able sermon on the authenticity OF
the Christian religion.

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used

This justly celebrated fencing is the
lightest Barb Wire made. The dia-
mond steel barb issso secured on the
wire as to allow it to vibrate, which
prevents any unnecessary dissertation
of stock. The cable wires are from
steel, No. II, plated (not twisted) to-
gether, and will stand the greatest
tensil strain.
This wire is protected against rust
by a covering of Pure Boiled Iron Clad
Mineral Paint, which is practically
rust-proof.
The Kelly Steel Barb Wire is the
lightest, the strongest, and the best
protected against rust. The diamond
barb is so secured on the wire that 1t
cannot be removed, is so strong that it
will not be bent or broken, and will re-
tain it's sharp point long after all
other styles of barbs are rusted blunt.

Our Young Readers.
A PRACTICAL LESSON.

You may think him a Ounce,
But he begged that for once
He might sit up all night or as long as he
pleased.
| The nurse was in tears,
With her murmured MY Dears!'
But only the louder and faster he leased.
Overhearing the din,
His father came in.
Wish to sit mp all night, John?' he wrath
fully cried.
You shall have your request
Till you've learned we know best.
Nurse can go. will stay at this naughty
boys side"
When two hours had passed,
John grew sleepy at last
And so tired that he feared he would fall from
his chair;
But, attempting to go,
Heard his fathers stern HNo!
Keep your seat at the table. Your place, sir,
is there"
Oh! how slow licked the clock,
With its dckory dock
For his father insists that the boy keep
aWake),
Till quite humbly he said:
" May please go to bed2
I've found you were right, and made mis-
take"
His father said yes:
And now you can guess
If ever that boy did the same thing again.
No sermon could preach,
No punishment teach,
A lesson more clearly than he learned it then.
Now, boys. when you're told
That it's bedtime, don't scold,
And say that you feel just like keeping awake.
Sitting up all the night
Isn't such Il delight.
Just try it for once and you'll own your mis-
take.
