a Salt Lake City (Utah) despatch of
Sunday says: George q. Cannon was ar
rested at Winnemucca, Nevada, yester-
day afternoon. To-day Marshal Ireland
went to Nevada to receive the fugitive
from the sheriff at Winnemucca. The
United States marshal had offered re-
ward of $500 for Cannon's arrest. The
prisoner has been in hiding for nearly
year. He was secretly put on the sleep
ing car "Santa Claus" which was hooked
on, as dead car, to the regular train, and
in this way it was hoped to get him away
from the officers. There is great re-
ioicing among legal men here because of
Cannon's arrest, as he is regarded as the
chief mind in the Mormon church, whose
authoritative voice, from his retreat, gave
orders to the faithful to stand firm and
support polygamy.
The way Brigham Young stole land in
the early days of the Mormon church in
Utah has Just been made public. He had
four-roOm house built on runners.
Hauling it to the centre ola section of
land, each one of the four quarters would
have Il room on its corner. -Four men would
sleep there one night, each occupying
IA separate room. and the next day they
would make presumption filings at the
land office, while four other men would
perform a similar act the next day and
night, and so on till most of the beautiful
Cache valley was entered. Soon after
ward the men appeared at the land office,
proved their prescriptions. paid Sl.25 an
acre, which had been handed to them in
crowd by some one at their back, and
then would deed the land to Brigham
Young. Proofs of these frauds are on
file in the interior department at Wash
ington.
The great Mccormick reaper works at
Chicago closed down Tuesday at a. m,
and 400 employees are out of employ
ment. The threat of certain employees to
precipitate strike unless the non-unon
men working in the molding department
were dismissed, appears to be the cause
of the suspension. At meeting of dis
satisfied employees Monday night a COM
mittee was appointed to wait upon Mr..
Mccormick and insist upon this demand.
Mr.. Mccormick had limited at Mondays
conference that if this condition were in
sisted upon he would shut down his
works indefinitely. He declined to meet
the labor committee, saving that his time
was otherwise fully occupied and ordered
the suspension of operations. The en-
plOyes were dumbfOunded when informed
quired.
The secretary of the National Butter,
Cheese and Egg association issues cir
cular in regard to the harm likely to
come to the dairy interest of the country
from the manufacture of ''frauduent
/ limitations of butter" He places the to-
tai sum devoted to dairy purposes in the
country at So 1858, DOB, IA. The vast in
dustry is "disturbed, embarrassed and
threatened with destruction" the circu-
lar says, by Il stupendous fraud which
employs few thousand men, with plant
not exceeding $4,000, 900, and turning
out about &C, 900 pounds of product, worth
in money value (supposing it to be whole
some food not to exceed II - cents Il
pound. 81. 100000. The whole evil is de-
clared to lie in the ''fraudulent sale" of
this product, which "nobody wants to
eat and nobody calls for" The circular
closes with an appeal for legislation
to suppress limitations of dairy products
that are not sold to the consumer under
their own proper names.
Secretary of the Treasurer Manning on
Tuesday sent to the speaker of the House
"A long letter upon the revision of the tar
if, in which he expresses the opinion that
1.-TWO courses are open to Congress. One
is an enlargement of the free list, a re-
duction of the number of lutiable articles,
a prudent substitution of specific for ad
valorem rates, and a thorough revision
and change of the existing rates and sys-
tenn. The other is partially indicated by
a recent Senate bill (NO. 1883 introduce
