men had offered coupons to pay for their

From strictly partisan standpoint,
the elevation of Il. q. johnson to the
position Of Dakota's representative in
the democratic congressional committee
will bs viewed with something more
than complacency by the numerous re-
publicans of our territory. Itthrottles
in it's cradle the infant democracy, now
striving SO Justify to make its voice

exhibited in their choice of rapr sen
tatiye in this division of the national

THE HORRORS OF MORMOSDOM.

Kate Field has shocked some of her eastern audiences with her plain talk on the Mormon question, and some have complained of her vulgarity. One of the most intelligent and refined ladies in Salt Lake spoke of this to me, and said the charges against Miss Field were no doubt true, but the fault was not with the lectur- er.. It was impossible to talk about the Mormon question with intelligence and at the same time use language common to po- lite soclety. It was not a nice subject when fully understood, and nice terms would never describe it. No one had ever given more careful study to the question than Miss Field, and no one outside of those living in Salt Lake was better able to speak with intelligence. Miss Field had spent six months in the city, studying the question Tn all it's bearings. She had gain ed access to the homes of the Mormon women, and learned the truth, as only woman of superior intelligence can learn it, from those of her sex who are greatly her interiors. No Gentle in Utah will be found guilty of charging Miss Field with exaggeration in her reports of the immor- ality of the Mormon church. They say this is impossible, for they look upon Mor- monism as simply a religion of lust, in which the women are held by superstition anu the most DlnulnB oaJns. lJ IS the teaching of the church that woman's saliva tion depends upon her lord and master, her husband. The Mormon heaven has no place, not even a dark corner, for spinsters, and only she who has been bless ed by motherhood can enter into the full joys of that future state. In passing thro' the endowment house, according to the exposures made by a Mormon woman, every convert swears away her life dozen times, and invites the most terrible of deaths if she ever proves unfaithful to these vows. Even the woman of intelli- gence would hesitate to break away from such bonds after once taken, if she be at the same time possessed of a conscience. But there is yet a stronger bond, it is said, and that is the power of the church, and the knowledge that it will not be withheld in any kind of persecution against pros elytes.

London Standard During a violent thunder storm which recently broke over a country town in France curious incident happened. A young woman caught in the storm was hastening homeward. shel- tering herself as best she conld beneath an umbrella from the drenchiI1g rain. Sud- denly she experienced 8 strange and alarm ing sensation, the shock being simultaneous with very vivid flash of lightning. She felt 'squite upset, greatly alarmed" but nevertheless proceeded soA her way and 1t was only on reaching her residence that she discovered what narrow escape she had had. On removing her bonnet she found that her hair had been literally cut off her head presenting, as the hair fell l, the same appearance ass sthOhgh tt had been shaved with razor. The effect up on the girls mind Of the discovery was so great that she been confined to her bed ever since the day of the storm. It is not the loss of her hair that affects her, but the recollection of the narrow escape she had so entirely upset her nervous system that the medical men attending her express the opinion that it will be some weeks before she recovers from the shock.

 EXPERIENCE OF AN UNDERTAKER.- Tive just returned from the house of a young married man who died last night, " said an undertaken, "and his weeping wife told me she wanted his coffin made large enough to hold his gun and game bag, be- cause he was so fond of shooting"
 "I suppose you have great many such queer requests, " remarked listener.
 "Oh, yes. It was only about a month ago that n mother, frenzied with grief, when I was about to put the lid on her daughters casket took from closet satin ball dress and insisted on having it used as a cover for the corpse.
 "Then some people want favorite books, letters, Bibles, pictures, and such things buried with their dead. It seems to soothe their anguish to some degree, and you have to humor them. The queerest thing of the kind happened to me just after I went into the business. It would have been laughed at on a minstrel stage, but in house of grief had to be tolerated with solemnity. The 10 year-old boy of poor woman had died of fever, and was en- gagged to bury him. Her neighbors had all gathered down stairs. I went up to ask her if there was anything more could do and she handed me a little bundle, saying, Please put this at the foot of Johnny's coffin. They are pair of old pantaloons, and the first I ever whipped him in. '"-PhiLddeL0hid Press.

GAMBLERS START 4 CHURCH FUND.

A gentleman from Dakota tells how the fund was started for building the first Methodist church erected in Bismarck. The town was young, aud was practically in possession of the gamblers. Faro banks and all sorts of gambling schemes were run openly and without fear. One large gambling establishment was situated in a huge tent near the center of the town, and thither went Rev. MT. Bull, who had come to Bismarck to establish Methodist church. Mounting a poker table in the middle of the thickly crowded tent, Mir. Bull proceeded to speak for Christ. At once the busy gamblers laid down their chips, and turned to ieering the preacher, some of them even pelting at him with whatever came easiest at hand.
 Presently the slender form of Dennis Hannifan, the boss gambler and feather weight champion of the place, arose and moved toward the preacher.
 ''Hold on boys, said Dennis, "this is no way to treat a stranger. I know a thing worth two O this" At this Dennis took off his hat and passed it around among the gamblers, who each put m chip. And, taking up this strange collec- tion, Dennis walked mp to the table, dump ed the hatful of chips upon it, and said
 "There you are, stranger; that's for you"
 "But, Y" eaid the clergyman, "what am to do with it ?" ...#. .
 "Well, ." replied Dennis, "its yours, and you can do what you please with it. You can cash it or buck it, just as you like"
 "Buck it?" said the holy man; "what is that ?"
 "Why, play it in, you know bet it on one of the games"
 Mir. Bull preferred to leash the chips in," so he went to the proprietor of the place, got S47 for the chips, and with that sum began the fund which finally built the Methodist church in which a flourish ing society now worships.
The Press., 1886-07-22

The London Daily News prints an inter view with Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in which he remarked upon the quiet and orderly character of English elections as compared with elections in America. Re- garding the political battle, he said that Americans were profoundly interested in the British leaders, holding them in a sort of ideal reverence. With respect to his presence here amid the strife, he said that his finding Gladstone and Blight pelting letters at each other produced a strange illusion. "From the American stand point" he said, ''the question at issue is as simple as A B O; but when we come here we find details rather than principles separating the great leaders. While in the first instance our whole thought goes with Gladstone, yet when we read the ar- guments of other men we admit our inabili- ty to meet them. Then we are puzzled, but on the details not on the general scheme at all" Reverting to the elec- tions, he admitted that the English laws were much more rigorous than the Ameri- can.
