A DIABoLIcAL OUTRAGE.

Last Monday night about half past II o'clock, a party of two or more persons entered into the Court house and unlocked the safe wherein is kept the books and pa pers of the transactions of the Board of Supervisors of Apache county, also the books and rec ords of the County Treasurer. After taking therefrom the records they locked the safe and carried the property to an alley in the rear of E. s. Stover's building, where every leaf containing notes, records or accounts was cut from the books and carried away and destroyed. The books thus muti- lated were found this morning at the place above mentioned. The officers are on the alert and it is supposed the guilty parties will be speedily brought to justice. This crime will cost the county quite a large sum to replace the books and prepare the accounts; the data is all attainable, so that hereafter they can be perfectly restored.
 The acts of the perpetrators of this abominable outrage could not have been done for greed; the books of blank warrants are un- touched. The town is rife with suspicious expressed on all sides. It will do to refer to these matters when the officers shall have fer reted out the real criminals, which we are sure will be done at an early day.

AN Associated Press dispatch says: The President is understood to be dissatisfied with the way in which the Utah Commission has executed it's duties. It's somewhat timid methods are attributed to the fact that the members of the com mission are all old men. The Pres ident thinks the work of the com mission might be much more vigo- rously done. He regards polygamy as an unmitigated evil which ought to be stamped out. He doesn't think the commission does it's part to accomplish that end. It is un- derstood that after his summer va cation the President will re-organ- ize the Utah Commission with a view to more effective work on it's part. There are now three republi- cans and two democrats on the commission. They will probably be removed and more vigorous men appointed to their places. The President is determined that all anti-polygamy laws shall honestly and earnestly be enforced.
 Now let polygamous Zion howl and set again its banners at half mast because 1t will not be permit ted to violate the laws of the land in the support of it's false doctrines and pernicious teachings. The op- portunity is again favoring to the display of the peculiar powers of Orator Milner. Hereafter, or after the presidential summer vacation of President Cleveland, every day will be a Fourth of July. The young and fearless successors of old fogyism will set Utah afre and will fan the flame with such ardor that the peculiar crime of the inn pure saints shall be entirely con- sumed or banished from our land forever. Oh, for a close of the summer vacation.

BROTHER REED is hard at it over in St. Johns fighting the heat and the Mormons. If the latter get a permanent lodgment in that part of Arizona, it must be in the face of whitening weekly broadsides from the St. Johns Herald. Con- fine yourself strictly to the poly gamous features of the Mormons, colonel, and you shall have our moral support first, last, and all the time.-Albuquerque Journal.
 We will have to do it so long as the pernicious doctrine is held by the Mormon church as revelation from Heaven, ,and we have power of utterance. So contribute to the cause of truth all the moral sup port you have space for, Brother Journal. The press everywhere is widening up to the importance of the fight, and public sentiment is set in the right direction, through its all powerful influence. The Ex- ecutive office of the United States government has caught the spirit of the people, and he will soon put men in the stronghold of iniquity that will with sledge-hammer blows break up their unholy combination. The subject has been toyed with long enough. The Patriot Milner should be relieved of his white elephant and we should have peace.

ANONYMOUS scRIBBLERs.

Don't take back seat MT. Orion Orator Milner, don't grow fidgety and act as if you were on the verge of St. vitus dance, or grow uneasy with symptoms of restless eschar- ides. Take your medicine and act like a man.
 The editor of this paper is in the course of business compelled to de- pend upon his assistants to take up such matters as may arise dur ing his absence. He has confidence in their judgement and on their ability to state facts, in such terms as will best make the case under stood by the general reader. Now you understand, or ought to, just receive what you see in the anti polygamous advocate as the senti- ment of the editor and the spirit of the HERALD. Save your contempt for the absconding Charles w. Pen rose, editor of the parent journal of church whose sole object in intro ducing polygamy was to furnish husbands for all unmarried mar riageable females who couldn't get a man all to herself" You are a nice sett to express contempt. Swallow another library Lawyer Milner and get kinks with the ital- ic c out of your stomach. Con- tempt-save the mark, why the Era has done nothing since the saints have taken to the woods but quote from the anonymous scribblings found in the Deseret News.

St. Johne. Thursday, July IS.

THE MormOns must behave themselves, obey the laws or go. The latest doings of their priests, police and others, at Salt Lake City, on last fourth of July, is proof pos itive that they are far from being good Americans. They, on that day, insulted the flag and the Re public by putting it at half-mast upon many of their public and pri- vate buildings. Not only this, they attempted to kill good citizens who proceeded to elevate the flags. Their excuse was that the govern ment had imprisoned their best men, under an unconstitutional law. We'll, was it for them that leading gentiles kept their tempers and prevailed upon non-Mormons to refrain from committing acts of violence. Now, this paper has often given Mormons credit for industry and some other good traits. That was long ago, when they first set tied in Apache county and behaved themselves. We have never had a bit of sympathy for their polyga- nous leaders and have now but lit tie, if any, sympathy for those who are duped by those leaders. Polyg- amy is all wrong. No decent gov ernment permits its practice and the sooner our government smokes it out the better it will be for gen. tiles and Mormons.
 The foregoing excellent article on the non-americanism of the Nor mons is from the Prescott Courier, we place it in our columns with pleasure. Perhaps the respect our friend the Courier expressed for the industry of the Mormon people, land for some other good traits, " would have been somewhat modi- fled at the time had the editor seen the sweat from the brows of the fe- male laborers in the field, blowing, hoeing and irrigating, under direc- ton of a stalwart specimen of mas culinity, as was often seen in the day when slave labor was the rule in America and the office of over seer respectable. If we would find a decent order of civilization, people proud of their country and its institutions, we must look among the masses and find where the men do the labor for the SUD- port of their families and the wo- men look after the household, making the home of the laborer a place of rest and recreation where she can be happy herself in the en- joyment of the society of her hus- band and the children she has born unto him. These are the blessings of home, the joy of welded life, where there are
 "'Two souls with but single thought,
 Two hearts that beat as one."
 But when you have the impossible two to ten hearts that beat in uni son with one big buck heart, some we suppose must take to the fields, others to the woods. The solution of this matrimonial problem we will turn over to Demosthenes Mil ner, of the Era.

LIKELY TO CAUSE A SUIT.
The FAN of the Electric Light TOwo

The FAN of the Electric Light Tower
Charged TO the s., r. ~ W. Railway.
A lawsuit Is likely to grow out of the
fall OF the electric light tower, which oc-
Cured last Saturday night.
1t was stated at the time that the tower
was knocked down by mule. 1t appears
that the accident was really caused by a
horse, which IN the dusk was mistaken
for a mule. A few minutes before the
accident occurred carload Of
horses stampeded in the yards OF
the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Company, and escaped INTO
Liberty street. The animals ran up
the street toward Habersham, and one OF
them struck the tower. When the struc-
were injured, one quite badly. The horses
were beng shipped from Atlanta to Jack
sonyille, and they were not all recaptured
for two or three days.
The electric light company considers
that the railway company is responsible
for the damage to the tower, ana mas
threatened a suit. The electric light
company suggested, it is understood, q
compromise. The railway company
wants light in its yards, and some sat.
| isfac'ory terms may be agreed upon. The
/ railway company has, however, referred
| the question of liability for damage to the
FALLEN tower to its counsel, Messrs. CHS.
| holm & Erwin.
The ruins Of the tower have been cleared
away and lights have been placed on
masts in the neighbOrhoOd.

rYREr ISLAND AGAIN.
Forming a New Company-A Popular
Plan PropOsed.


Mention was made in the NEWS few
days ago to the effect that an effort was
about to be made to place the Tybee
Island improvement scheme in such shape
as to popularize it, and thus secure the
influence of all classes Of citizens.
At the time mentioned the
new plan had not been fully
decided upon. After consultation
with parties who have heretofore inter
este1 themselves in developing the island
as a summer resort, "A very simple plan
Of organizing company has been partly
decided upon. 1t has been agreed, how
ever, that no definite steps be taken until
a public meeting is held, and the mat
ter submitted to all who desire to
to take part in the new organization.
The plan is as follows: The capital
stock OF the company TO be $4,000,
divided into shares of 500 each; each
subscriber TO receive for every share he
takes one building lot on the island, and
share valued at 800 in the hotel. lots,
lands, artesian wells, railway and app T.
tenances, and everything included in the
purchases made by Capt. Purse.
1t is expected by this plan TO interest
sufficient number OF citizens 20 place the
enterprise on a safe footing, and also TO
extend the railway 10 hlng' IS landlng, so
as to make the Island more accessible
from the city by way Of the south chan
nei Of the river. The scheme is appa-
rently a very feasible one, as the lot
which the stocknolder receives will
be worth more than what ne pays in, 10
say nothing OF his interest In the remain
der OF the property. lie viii have a val
liable holding which he can improve, and
thus have a pleasant seaside home for
his family during the summer months.
A meeting VIII be called for a week
from next Monday 10 which all citizens
viii be invited and at which the plan of
organization will be more fully explain
ed. The enterprise will then doubtless
take such shape as will result in placing
Tybee in better condition than it has
ever been.

All OF the witnesses agreed that it tasted
like sWeetened whisky. Lester a. RAY

Raymond Reedy said that he had a very
bad cough, and he got bottle of the bal

him that the mixture was a pretty good
drink, and it had an effect like whisky.

The witness, with an distracted look
revOlyed the question IN his mind for a
couple OF minutes, and innOcently asked /:

then put in less technical language, and
was negatively answered.
A second witness got a bottle OF the
balsam on sunday, March l, In exchange
for half dollar. He took it as a tonic.
j. B. Gin evidently did not want to testify
against the accused. He ACKNOWLEDGED
that he also bought bottle March l. but
ne was eNaSlVe IN stating the effect OF the
dose. He was finally taken in hand by
Judge Speer, who intimated something
about the jail, and the balance OF the
testimony was given with less hesitation
than the first part. This witness got his
tonic on the way home from Sunday
school.
The defendant admitted that he had sold
