The Taylor.scott Dramatic Comuan,

Next Wednesday dramatic company
under the management of Taylor & Scott
will leave this city for trip through
Southern Utah, going as far as st. George.
The company will go out better equipped
than any home company which has pre-
viously left this city. Three complete sets
OF scenery have been painted by Dan.
Wegeland and Joseph Scott. These have
been prepared especially for the "Sea of
lee" and are in every particular first
class. The company is composed OF the
following-named ladies and gentlemen:
Misses Ruth Jones, Sadie Thomas and
Lizzie Thomas; Harry Taylor, an expe-
rienced and capable actor; Joseph Scott,
Ed. Felt, Will. Crouch and others. Going
out the company will play the "Sea OF
Ice" for the opening night, and the "I.ife
OF an Actress" for a change of bill. On
their return another play will be put on.
We believe that the Taylor & Scott COM
pany will do we'll, because it deserves
success, and because the people in the
country are generous patrons OF meritori-
GUS shows.

AN ISoEsTUoUs OLD WRETCH.
seventy Years Old ana Cut OFF the
church for Corrupting HIS
Daughter.

Sensations and rumors of sensations
are current topics in Salt Lake City at
the present time, bnt it must not be sup
posed that to Salt Lake City is confined
all the startling events of the day, for
story comes from Huntington, Emery
county, which shows that the rural dis
tricts are in no wise behind in their eff
forts to keep in the procession and help
add to the notoriety Of Utah as one OF the
rottenest moral communities in America.
It appears that at the little town OF
Huntington an old man, seventy wears OF
age, runs n little store, and while his
stock of worldly goods is necessarily linn
tied, he has laid up few Celestial treas
ures and made himself solid in the matri-
monial hereafter by having three connu-
bal partners sealed to him after the
manner and fashion OF the Latter-day
religion.
Under these circumstances, and, as
Hamlet might remark, now that the hey
day of youth is not in his veins, the story
that follows of this old mans depravity
is truly revolving But that it is true,
there can be no question: for the
DEMOCRAT has the particulars in the case
from source unimpeachable, and is
prepared to substantiate the facts here
published. The third wife of this aged
lecher has daughter, at present IA years
of age, and it is with her-his own child
that the story is connected. For some
time past the neighbors have been sus-
picious that all was not right in the fam
lily relations of the old man, and jealousy
among the wives at last caused the horri-
BILE disclosure that during three years
past their respected and celestial-that-is-
to-be protector, and through whom they
are to attain the position Of Queens in
Heaven, had been occupying the same
bed with his young daughter; a state OF
affairs which the girl does not deny, and
| forwhich OF course she cannot be held re-
sponsible.
Many little indiscretions and infringe
ments upon the moral code are over
looked and winked at in the settlements
of the size of Huntington, particularly
when SO isolated that communication
with the outside world is infreguent, but
here was such pretty mess, and so well
authenticated, that the church officials
dare not ignore it, and after review o.
the case the gray-headed criminal who
had INDUCED his hellish lust a
the expense of his own daughters honol
and purity, was accommodated from the
church. And that is all the punishment
that can be melted out to him, for Utal
has no law in relation to incest and othe
immoralities which are frowned upon b,
the entire monogamic world, and which
should consign the violators TO term o
years in prison cell.
The attention OF the Deseret Ne,vs
which is just now engaged in higl
moral crusade, is called to the facts il
this article. Perhaps the Neps can thel
explain why it is the Mormons are al
virtuous and the Gentiles are al
debauchees. The News has performe'
several remarkable logical somersault
recently, and should find no difficulty il
Strengthening out little matter of thi
kind.

The California Mine, Ophir.

Messrs. M. II. Lpman and Theodore j.
Baker returned from ophir last night,
where they have been inspecting the
California mine, in which they and
Messrs. Park and Conklin are largely
Interested. They are so well pleased
with the outlook at the mine, an eight
loot vein oil carbonate ore being in sight,
that at a meeting OF the company to-day
it was resolved to put on force OF men
at once and work it for all it will produce.
Operations will commence Immediately
under the supervision of Mr.. Sampson,
and Il steady ore production may be
looked for after systematic method of
work has been once begun.

MORE TROOPS FOR UTAH.
A climax Has Come, and with "
May Come Martial Law.

There in rumor on the street to-day
that several companies OF Infantry have
been ordered on to Utah from Omaha,
and that those having the authority to
act are looking out place in which to
station them. Bolivar Roberts was asked
il he had a suitable building,
and Mr.. George NJ. Scott has also been
approached as to the possibility Of securr-
inc his large warehouse on Second South
street. Mr.. Roberts has no building that
would answer the purpose, and Mr.
Scott's warehouse is in use.
Although nothing official could be
learned in regard to the soldiers coming,
sufficient guarantee that they are coming
has been given that there is no hesitanc,y
in saying that the rumor will turn out to
be fact

SUSPENSION of ROO

In regard to the suspension of proofs
by the commissioner Of the land Office
Delegate Clifford makes this statment to
the Sioux Falls Press: 81 think it is Il
blow at the northwest. 1t will undoubt-
eddy drive settlers further south, and we
begin to feel it even now in the entire
suspension Of immigration to this part
of the country. Maj. Sparks, commits
sioner of the general land office at Wash
ington, proposes to investigate each indi-
vidual case, but l told him he would have
a job on his hand that would occupy
the attention of a bigger corps of subor-
dinates than the city of Washington holds
which would last a great deal longerthan
the Democratic administration. There
is an idea in Washington That fraud per-
meates every land office in the territory.
l told Sparks he had no right to withhold
the final proofs of a settler who proved
up in good faith, but he was open to no
arguments on the subject. 1 have nd
vised every Dakota land Office official
to hold his ofice-for to resign would be
an admission of the present charges"

A NTE sHoT,
Torrance

The INTER- OCEANS expose of Mage
Edwards scheme to manipulate the
North Dakota counties at the next Re-
publican Territorial convention by ap-
pointing census enumerators whom he
thinks he can use, meets with general
approval. That Gov. Pierce should
have appointed the most unscrupulous
man in North Dakota to superintend
the census has surprised many people
who believed they had reason to expect
better of the new, executive. In this
and one or two other appointments, the
governor is 10 improvement upon his
predecessor.
A postal card from Fargo says: "Your
hammer and tongs way of getting at
Edwards suits the decent element OF
this city" A letter from another resi-.
dent of'Fargo has this: II am glad there
is one editor in the Territory who can
hit. Edwards where he is weak. There
is positive cause for alarm when we see
such men put into responsible posi-
tions," and this from a third well-known
Dakotan, has the right ring and will be
Endorsed by all who know the plans and
purposes Of the gang with whom Ed
wards trains: 81 was much pleased
with. your pen portrait of Mage Edwards

Such success as that witnessed latel,
