IN THE LONG AGO.

The Inauguration of Presidents and
Governors in these days has come to be
such an ostentatious concern that it is
pleasant and life-and-hope renewing to
turn to accounts of how Governors were
inaugurated in the long ago. From the
Chicago Herald we take an account of the
Inauguration Of Ohio's first Governor:
The noise and attempt at a demonstra-
tion which occurred to-day at the inaugura-
tion of Governor Foraker caused one of the
old Jefersonian Democrats present to detail
to the Herald correspondent the simplicity
which marked the Inauguration of the first
Governor of the State, Edward Tifin, Esq.
in 1903. He was native of England, who
came to Ohio as an educated, polished
physician, and was elected in 1902. He
lived in Chillicothe, then the capital.
The first State House was jail-like
structure, and remained standing until 1S40
In those days every State patterned it's OBJ
seryances from the national system, and the
4th of March was Inauguration Day. But
when Tifin was to be sworn in the day was
Friday, and superstitious Assembly chose
to begin the government of the new State
on a more auspicious day. So on Thursday,
March 3, 1903, the official canvass of votes
was MADE, ana as EDWARD 11fnn, Esq, mad
received 1864 votes from the counties of
Clermont, Belmont, Adams, Ross, Jefferson,
Hamilton and Trumbull, he was declared by
Speaker Nathaniel Massie duly elected. A
committee was appoinsed to notify Edward
Tiffin, Esq.," of his election, and inquire his
pleasure as to taking the oath of office. An
answer was received, and at l o'clock the
Senate attended in the representatives
Chamber and Judge Meigs, afterward Gov
ernor himself, administered the oath. His
Excellency addressed both houses very
briefly. In fact, the first Inauguration address
delivered in Ohio contained less than 2C0
words. There was no further display, nor
does the record show that there was even an
opening prayer. But the Governor made
up for his brief speech by sending
in a message next day which, too, was
short-just half column in the papers of
to-day. Tifin served two terms, was sent
to the Senate, but was Frustrated by the
death of his wife. He resigned from the
United States Senate to be member of the
State Legislature, where he could serve the
State and be at home near the grave of the
wife he loved so much. He is buried beside
her at Chillicothe, where four Ohio Govern
ors are laid away. Two of his daughters are
yet living, cne of them being Mrs. DR.. Com
eggs, of Cincinnati.

THE MORMON LOBBY.

The New York SUMS Washington cor
respont says that it is understood that a
vigorous lobby has been employed to de-
feat hostile legislation in the House. This
is merely rumor, and it must be esti-
mated as rumor. Lobbying is bad
thing and should not be allowed, but if
it is allowed it is a thing that will be
taken advantage of by all needing any
secret aid. The Sun says the Mormons
are rich and are inclined to spend some
of their wealth in preventing hostile
legislation. On the supposition that this
is so the lobbying of the Mormons means
that they use of money can prevent hos
tile legislation. If it can be employed to
prevent hostile or other legislation, it
means that the men upon whom
depends the enactment of legislation can
be bribed. A man who will accept a
bribe is equally as culpable and base as
a man who will give one, and if Nor
mon lobby in Washington can prevent
hostile legislation, such lobby must pre-
vent it by influencing members Of Con-
gress. People greatly over-estimate the
strength of the Mormon lobby in Wash
ington and the influence Of the Mormon
church outside of Utah. From the man.
ner in which the press and people of the
country talk about Mormons lobbying at
Washington one might think that city
was like Rome, of which it was said, "a
city for sale if one has the money to pur-
chase IT. -

DEATH OF WILLIAM JENNINGS.

Ex-Mayor William Jennings passed
quietly away to-day at about quarter
to O'Clock. He had been sick and con-
fined to his bed for several weeks, and
the enquiries after his health have come
from all classes and all quarters, but for
the past week or so small hopes had been
entertained of his recovery. In his death
the Territory loses one of its most prom
inent and enterprising citizens. The
name of William Jennings will ever be
identified with the early history of Salt
Lake City, and our city has produced no
more public spirited man than he was.
He was one of the leading business men
of the city and during long and active
career he had amassed very consider
able fortune. He was essentially friend
of the workingman and when times were
tight and business dull it was always
his policy and pleasure to under
take some new enterprise requiring the
expenditure of very considerable sums of
money, thereby giving work to the unem-
ployed and food to the hungry. No
greater tribute can be paid to the mem
ory of man than to say that he was
truly the friend of the poor, and this may
well be said of William Jennings. He
was too well and favorably known in the
community of which he was leading
citizen to require his merits and his vir-
tues to be set forth in print In his death
the city and Territory have lost most
estimable citizen, and all who knew him
will join us in extending to his bereaved
family heartfelt sympathy.

Fighting the Polygamy Bill.

New YORK, January 14.-Among other
bills cited as apt to be affected by lobby
work, the Sun says: The Mormons are rich,
and are inclined to spend some of their
wealth in preventing hostile legislation.
They know very well that behind the moral
crusade which is now conducted against po-
and naence bsve ersaed
the deserts of Utah is endangered, and they
are trying to save it by the sinews of war.
It is understood that vigorous lobby has
been employed to defeat the polygamy bill
in the house, or at least to remove its most
ruinous conditions. This fact and the char
acter of some of the agents employed in the
work will not help the opposition. If the
Mormons had been wise they would have
allowed the case to stand on its abstract
merits, which are far stronger than the ad-
vocacy of hired traffickers in legislation.
Polygamy is rapidly declining under infu-
ences which are destined to crush out the
evil, unless it be strengthened by intolerant
perSecutiOn

THE JURY BILL.

The bill introduced into the House by
Mr.. Thurman seems to have created con-
siderable talk, and the opinions on it are
various. 1t is in reality merely an e1-
tension of the Poland bill. No doubt lis
object is to do away with the open venire,
and the chief objection to it is that it
does away with the open venire. This
bill, il it shall become a law, will in no
way affect juries in prosecutions under
the Edmunds law, for all incompetent
jurors can easily be pcrged from the jury
box by the Prosecuting Attorney. At
different times jurors have sought to
remain in the box, but the search
ing questions of Mr.. Dickson have proven
their incompetency. The incompetency
of the additional jurors can be provided
for in the same way. An open venire
as rule can very easily be
abused and that is the great
objection to it. We believe it can
be said OF the open venire as used by
Marshal ireland that as a rule it has put
better men into the jury box than were
put there by the old system OF selection
under the Poland law; this has not been
owing to the merit of the open venire
but to the Marshal. The jury system has
been very largely abused in this Territory
by not selecting the names of the leading
and ablest men in the Territory TO serve
on juries. Business men do not like to
serve on ;uries because it takes them from
their affairs; still that is no reason why
they should be relieved from jury duty.
If the jury system is the bulwark
of our liberties, then the best
citizens of the commonwealth should
be selected to serve on juries.
Such service would make them feel that
they are in reality citizens of free Re-
public, and that in republic law and
order rest upon the citizens. 1t would
make them realize that as citizens of the
Republic they are responsible for good

MIR. Gladstone,s Postal Autograph.

Mr.. Gladstone is, as is well known,
fond of using postal cards for his COM
munications. Although the law is that
nothing must be written OH the address
side of the card save the address, he in
variably puts either his name or his
initials there Thus the recipient is sub
jected to a charge of two cents extra
postage Probably the extra autograph
is worth it.-Chicago Times.

Federal authorities in Utah desire,
especially the marriage part. The infor-
nation can be had by applying to either

A BOYS Composition on the Benefits to be
Derived from Jobs Comforts.
A boil is generally very small at first
and fellow hardly notices it, but in
few days it gets to be the biggest OF the
two, and the chap that has it is of very
little account in comparison with his
boil, which then ''has him. Boils ap-
pear mysteriously upon various portions
of the human body, coming when and
where .'they darn please and often in
very inconvenient places.
If boil comes anywhere on per-
son, that person always wishes it had
come somewhere else, although it
would puzzle him to say just where.
If chap has a boil he generally gets
good deal of sympathy from others,
'.in horn 1t is very wicked to make
sport of person with boils; they can't
help it, and they often feel very bad
about it.
Boils are said to be "healthy," and
Judging from the way they take hold
and hang on and ache and grow and
burn and raise Cain generally, there is
no doubt about it. They are generally
very lively and playful at night.
Boils tend to purify the blood,
strengthen the system, calm the nerves,
restrain profanity, tranquilize the
spirit, improve the temper and beautify
the appearance.
It is said that boils save the patient a
fit of sickness, but if the sickness is
best not to have the alfred mean
thing it must be. 1t is also said that
person is better after he has had them,
and there is no doubt that one feels
much better after having got rid of
them.
Many distinguished persons have en-
joyed these harbingers of health. Job
took the premium at the county fair for
having more achers under cultivation
than any other farmer. Shakespeare had
them and said: Zone woe doth tread
upon anothers heels, so fast they fol-
low"
Treatment: There are great many
remedies for boils, most Of which are
well worth trying, because if they don't
do any good they don't hurt the boil.
Everybody knows "a good thing for
them" Among these remedies are
shoemakers' wax, trix, Spalding's glue,
soothing syrup, Charlotte russo, sedleitz
powders, gum-drops, waterproof black
ing, night-blooming cereus, chloroform,
Kissengen, soap and sugar, etc.-Physi-

by procuring from rich pasture lot, or
from the roadside at some spot where
the earth is good, quantity of sod two
or three inches thick, and stacking it up
in some out-of-the-way place until it is
wanted. Break it into pieces the size

Int0xicants Used by Women.

In Boston letter to the Albany Jour-
nal occurs the following: A specialist
of high repute says he has many women
under his care who intoxicate themselves
though not with liquor. Chloroform
is the worst intoxicant in the list. A
woman who uses it is never cured, while
she may be of the opium habit or the love
of stimulants One of the most brilliant
journalists on the Boston press some years
ago would take chloroform to such de-
gree he would be half idiotic for days,
and singular deafness was produced
temporarily, an in6rmity which finally
became chronic, and then he let up on
the chloroform. Chloral has taken a
strong hold of society women, who use
up their nervous force and energy, and
who must have something to repair the
waste quickly without waiting for natu-
raj rest and time. A lady told me not
long since that she took ''little chloral"
every night; she could not live without
it, and she also added that lots of women
she knew did so also.

Farm and Garden Notes.

When skim milk or buttermilk can be
secured at from two to three cents per
gallon, it is one of the cheapest foods
that can be given to chickens. 1t may
largely take the place Of flesh, and will
induce them to lay early and often.
Cuttings of roses, hcliotropes, ETC., will
grow better if taken off at the junction
of the old and new wood, and should be
cut off Just below joint or bud, as the
roots start from that point, and if a bud
is not left near or close to the base the
cutting is liable to decay in the soil.
The beet draws its nourishment from
an area of twelve square feet for each
plant. This has been proved by explor
ing to the ends of the roots carefully, it
being found that these extend downward
and outward in all directions for several
feet. It is evident that where size of
root is desired the plants must be given
plenty of room.
Soils are formed by the disintrcgation
of rock and the decomposition of veget-
able matter, The rock furnishes the
mineral part and the vegetation the Or
ganic part. Hence the character of the
soil will vary with the kind of rock from
which it was produced, the extent of the
decomposition it has undergone and the
kind and amount of organic matter that
is mixed with the decomposed rock.

ural, and not result Of the care of man.

Dog that Could Tell Time.

A recent issue of the Syracuse On. W
Times says:
An old farmer from Amboy, Oswego
county, took great interest in the trained
dogs that appeared at the Grand Opera
House this week. II used to have a
dog" said the farmer, (which was the
most knowing and intellectual dog you
ever see. He could tell about what time
it was by the clock just as well as could.
He would run into the house in the after
noon without saying word to anybody
and look up at the clock, and if it wasn't
Sis he'd 60 off about his business. Then
he'd come back again, and the second it
was 5 rs he'd bark and start for the cows.
One day my woman thought she'd see if
the dog could be fooled, and at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon she turned the clock to
5. The dog came in, looked indifferently
up at the clock, stopped, shook his head,
and then ran out to look at the sun. He
came back again, squatted down, and
eyed the clock as if he was waiting for a
rat. When the minute hand got around
to quarter past he started off AS usual,
and before we could stop him he had all
them COWS up in the barnyard. I drove
them back, and more mortified person
you never see than that dog. He ran into
the house, but the woman had turned the
hands back to the true time. The dog
jumped up at the clock, and acted as if
he wanted to tear it to pieces. He al
ways seemed to distrust the dumb thing
after that"
