The Salt Lake Herald puts the case
tersely thus: "The Mills bill is not law,
bat the democratic majority in the house

share towards relieving the people of I'M
necessary taxation. 1t now remains for
the republican senate to reject the bill,
aud thus continue the crime of collecting
from an oppressed people $lOOOOO,OOO a
year more than the government requires"

progress in the western outskirts of town

soUgs, and several of the women
are said to. have fallen down
in state of uncousciousnesE
and remained in that condition several
hours. Many white persons from towr

through mere curiosity.
