more thar 400 army officers on the retired

Is shown by the list drawn out by reso-

SALT LAKE, UTAH, April The Nor

day with rather light attendance. The
usual opening proceedings were had,
when Elder Seymour B. Young took the
stand. He called upon the people to pay
their tithing and obey the priesthood
ordinances of the church. He came out

doctrine of celestial marriage Is one of
the most true and glorious principles re-
vealed through the prophet Joseph, and
God will reguite 1t on this generation

low, defendant in error, from Wichita
county. This is a motion to dismiss writ
of error, on the ground that the bond Is
not conditioned as required by the stat
ute. The condition of the bond is that
the obligors shall comply with the 1udg-
ment, order or decree OF the Supreme
court, upon such writ and pay all such
damages as may be awarded against him.
The bond VS. evidently intended as q
supersedess bond, while the statute re-
quires to be conditioned that such sp-
pellant or plaintih In error shall prose-
cute his appeal or writ Of error with ef-
feet, and in case the judgment OF the Ap-
pellste court shall be against him, that
he shall perform Its judgment, sentence
or decree and pay all such damages as
said court msy award against him. One
of the conditions Of the bond required by
the statute is entirely omitted.
The statute Is plain and compliance
with its terms easy, and we are not to
presume that it WAS the intention OF the
Legislature that any OF its terms or con-
ditions should be dispensed with.
II such bond does not literally comply
with the statute, 1t must fully and clearly
embrace all the conditions presented by it.

ALvoRD, TEX, April 6 A serious rail-
road wreck occurred here about. 6 O'Clock
this morning, in which one man was In
stsutly killed and another slightly in
iured. The train consisted OF baggage
car and one sleeping car. The berths Of
the sleeper were occupied by parties re-
turning from the Denver excursion, who
live in Galveston.
From papers found on the clothing of
the man killed his name is supposed to be
]. a. FLOYD. He had cards from the
house Of Burnham, Hanna, Munger & Co.,
Kansas City, and 8 letter of dischsrge
from that house was found in his posses
siop. He YVES said to be en- route to
Dallas, where he has relatives living.
1t seems the wreck was caused from the
front trucks of the sleeper luu ping the
track at the switch, which also threw the
hind trucks Of the baggage car from the
track. The baggage car struck Ia Hat on
the side track, which completely tore out
one side Of the baggage car.
It is supposed that Floyd, who WAS sit
ting in the door Of the baggage car, was
caught between it and the fist, as his
body was horribly msngled.
The man iDjared is fireman on the
western end of the road. He wss In the
baggage car, as were slso two other men
who escaped uninjured. The scene OF
the wreck makes 1t wonderful that ne
one else was nurt. Superintendent Dun
can came up on a special train this morn
ing to take charge of Floyd's body, which
will be shipped to Fort Worth this even

One of the most interesting Of the many
prehistoric mounds of the country Is that
known as "Monk's Mound" situated in
Madison county, Illinois. 1t is so called
from the fact that early in the present
century q number OF monks OF the Trap
pist order founded a monastery on Its
summit The mound covers an srea OF
1885 acres st its base. Its greatest
height is about ninety-seven feet, and the
top is q plateau in the form OF rectan-
gular parallellogrsm, covering an area OF
Las acres. 1t is estimated that with
modern appliances it would require the
isbor of $50 men and seventy-fve teams
for nearly three years to construct such
work. Many curious utensils, as well as
pipes, axes, fiints and figures Of idols have
been taken from this mound.

People are wont TO boast of the en-

the superstitons of their forefathers.
But it is quite safe to say that super
stition is as rife to-day AS it ever was.
the only difference being that now
people are ashamed to acknowledge
their weakness. Said a real estate
man: "Therc is nothing which gives
a building lasting black eye quicker
than report that it was haunted.
The slamming of door. the rafting
Of window, the knocking down Of a

OF ghosts in such bu ldings. And the
