Hemenway is young man, his abilities have
never been called in question, and the day
will come as sure as he lives, when he Will
triumph over his last enemy.
He was attacked, and he now suffers be-
cause he fought for the unpopular Mormon
people, their rights and their God and to
the Mormon people he pledges his best eff
forts, his whole time, and his humble talents
as long as he has strength to write or breath
to speak. For their good, for their preser-
vation, and their ultimate triumph, he can
face death, jail, or anything else cheerfully,
even as he faces his trials now. May Heaven
bless the Mormons, and deal with their enc
mics speedily, according to His own merci-
full pleasure, is the farewell wish OF Editor
Hemenway-hi farewell wish to the great
audience who will read this Mammoth Edi.
tion of the Ogden Herald-his farewell wish
until he can use his fettered pen in freedom
and exultation after the bitterness of his en-
emies has satiated itself.

HE ISN'T sTINGY.

Editor Hemenway, of the Ogden Her
aid, publishes his good bye' in his pa
per of yesterday. No doubt he wrote
his own obituary and praise himself.
There is something generous, and at the
same time modest, in the style in which
he speaks OF his own abilities; it shows
that ogden's favorite hero is not stingy.
Want OF space alone prevented him lay
ing it on thicker. We give a specimen
below
From all parts of Utah Editor Hemenway
has received the warmest letters of sym
pathy, not only from Mormons, but from
Gentiles as we'll. His name has gone
abroad, and he finds that very generally the
public concurs in the opinion that he has
been prosecuted more to crafty partisan re-
sentiment than to satisfy intrinsic justice in
any particular. He feels sure, too, that his
libel suits. his punishment, and his present
sorrows are, under the circumstances, only
the necessary prelude to II more potent and
splendid future career. Greatness cannot
be attained without great suffering, great
peril, and great exertions as rule. Mr..

Letter from HaIstead. Kansas.

A letter received at this Office from
Geo. Gibbs contains the following:
We had a hard trip from Lancaster
here. At Specht's we had to wait five
hours, as the train was late. From
there we went to Savannah, and after
stopping over night joulneyed on to
Council Bluffs. One hundred miles
east of Council Bluffs we ran into a
snow-drift ten feet high aud staid there
four hours, after which we bucked
snow clear into the Bluffs. We arrived
at Kansas City in half-famished con-
dition and got fine supper. There
were three of us and paid 1926 for
the supper. A man must have bank
account to travel in the West. The
country we came through from Kansas
City TO Halstead is far ahead of my ex-
peetations. l arrived here on Satur-
day and have been out in the country
eight miles. This is the finest country

settled and has nice farm houses and
barns. The corn is excellent this year,
although people claim that it is not as
good as usual. Corn sells here for 20
cents per bushel, oats 25, wheat 80.
Halstead is a thriving town of two
thousand inhabitants. 1t has increased
one-half in one year. They have two
railroads here and third is being built.
The town is just booming. They have
one paper and there is good chance
for another.

for $50 and S75 apiece that are just as

There is no doubt but that a buyer
could double his money on them in six
months.

Robert Coatsworth, VINO at present
holds good position with the firm of
L. Carrier & Co., is spending a few
days in town.
Jacob Bonnell, of Mt Ida, is suffer
ing from a cancer on his jaw. 1t has
been pronounced to be stone cancer.
Fred Bonnell is well acquainted with
Paul Leader, of Sioux City, Iowa, one
of the six saloon keepers now on trial
for the murder of Rev. Geo. Haddock.
Fred worked for Leader at the time and
knows many of the circumstances in
connection with the murder, and he no
doubt would be useful witness in case
he should be subpenaed to appear at
the trial.
James Dixon has been West looking
the country over and thinks of locating
there soon, provided he can find a pur-
chaser for his farm. He spent several
days among old neighbors now living
around Flandrau and reports them all
to be doing better than when living
back here on their former homesteads
More than fifty numbers were sold at

fusion that they are about the only ones
who are favored thus-that ordinary

many people as in Thursdays paper.

A Very Valuable and Most Useful Book
for Every Person in the Country.

institution of Laws and Forms,''
with compendium of political econ
omy, analytically compiled and ar
ranged by Prof Charles Mayer, princi-
pal of Mayors Commercial College,
Milwaukee, is now ready for the public.
The work is highly recommended by
the most eminent iurists and lawyers,
by the press of the country, and by the
most prominent business men. The
The book is undoubtedly destined to
have wide circulation. The opening
chapters are devoted to sketch of the
history of law, beginning with the de-
velopment of the earliest human institu-
tons. The body of law under which
Americans live is shown to have its
springs in the Roman civil law, the
ancient feudal law and the English
common law, the broad principles of
each of which systems are etforth con-
cisely but clearly. A chapter is devoted
to the principles of political organiza-
ton and an exposition of the constitu-
ton of the United States. Twenty well
constructed chapters follow, giving an
outline of the civil and criminal laws in
force in the United States, and explain
ing legal practice. The outline of pol
itcal economy is based chiefly upon the
works of Mill, Ricardo, Bowen and
other standard writer's, but does not
slayishly adhere to any one of them.
The Sc mples of legal documents which
are scattered throughout the book will
be found of great service. In short, the
book brings within the reach of the in
dividual information much of which
is of vital Importance that one should
possess, and some of which one might
find exceedingly difficult to procure
elsewhere. The book is tastefully gotten
up and model of modern Typography.
1t contains 45c pages, large octave,
printed with new long primer and brev-
Ter type, on fine and heavy tinted super
calendered paper, and is neatly and
substantially bound.
Price, cloth, $780, Full Sheep, $3.50.

SUNDAY Rev II. w. Carter, of
Platleville, filled the pulpit of the Con-
gregational church yesterday morning
and evening. 1t was not generally UNI
derstood that he was to be here at this
time, and for that reason and on ac-
count of the snow storm the congrega-
ton was not large. Mr.. Carter is an
earnest and eloquent speaker and his
sermons were listened to with attention
and interest.

Messrs. Walsh and Tweedy, of the
United States Geological Survey, were
caught out in an electric storm while
sketching from high peak near Dixie
Butte, Ore, recently. First there was
a buzzlng sound, apparently coming
from under the drawing table that Mr..
Walsh was using. He put his hand
under the drawing sheet, and received
a severe shock. Tweedy. who was
lying down, was disturbed, and jumped
TO his feet, but went down again quick
ly, for where he stood the electric fluid
entered in such quantities as to produce
an almost unbearable pricking sensa-
ton. Both men felt tremendous shocks,
their hair stood up like bristles, their
muscles twitched, and in all respects
they felt as if connected to a powerful
electric battery. Through it all the
projecting rocks gave forth a musical
humming sound.

The Christmas st. Nicholas.

Frances Hodgson Burnett'S new fairy
tale, 'The Story of Prince Fairyfoot,"
begins in the Christmas ST. Nicholas,
and will be run through three numbers.
1t is In an entirely different vein from
"LitttIe Lord Fauntleroy," but is just
as bright and amusing in its own way,
and throws some entirely new light on
the habits and manners of fairy-folk.
There is also short story by j. I.
Trowbridge, which is called "The Bam-
berry Boys and their Flock of Sheep"
which tells of a famous dog trap; and
Frank r. Stockton contributes the first
half of another of his entertaining ship
wreck stories. 1t is entitled "a Fortu-
nate Opening" though he does not ex-
plain in this installment what the fortu-
nate opening was.
The most striking feature of the num-
Der, however, is the article on Chow
Great Battle Panorama is Made" 1t
is written by Theodore r. Davis, who
was interested in the production of one
of these popular exhibitions, and it is
copiously illustrated with sketches by
the author, and with reproductions of
photographs. The entire process of
producing the marvellous effects obtain
ed is described so as readily to be under
stood.
A Christmas 81. Nicholas without
Christmas stories would be an ana
chronism, and, accordingly, there are
two exceptionally good ones in this
issue. The first, entitled "a Scheming
Old Santa Claus" is by John r. Cor
yell, who is as excellent in fiction as in
his entertaining natural historYsketches.
The second is by Rose baltimore Alling,
author of the clever short serial, ''Nan's
Revolt" 1t is called ga Christmas
Conspiracy" and is as fertile in sug-
gestion as its predecessor. 1t will be
concluded in January. The frontis-
piece-a charming Christmas picture
by Reginald B. Birch, illustrates an
old-time Christmas poem by Helen
Gray Cone, which appropriately opens
the number.
Besides all this, there are some quaint
verses and pictures by Alfred Brennan,
and verses by Mrs. Dodge, j. G. Fran
els, Mary Bradley, Mrs. E. I. Corbett,
and E. Whitney, while illustrations are
drawn by George Foster Barnes, r. B.
Birch, Alfred Brennan, Jessie McDer-
mott, Henry Sandman, w. A. Rogers,
H. A. Ogden, Irving r. Wiles, and
others.
