lied upon, and even when correct, ara

To judge from statements to papers, sent

ton must be limited, the losses are very
heavy; but stock men who are
pecuniarily interested in accurate

put much faith in the statements

Allen Johnson, s stockm.n Of ox-

Mormon Despotism.

Another representative Of the loyal
and patriotic minority in Utah ADDS his
| conclusive testimony in the Independent
of this week. This witness is Mr.. O. j..
Hollister, who has lived in Utah for
twenty years and who challenges the
risk of petty prosecutions if not of vio-
lence, stating the facts which he contri-
butes to the Independent under his own
name OF course he confirms the tes-
timony of the Salt Lake Tribune as to
Mormon disloyalty and persecution Of
the Gentiles," and recalls the fact that
thirty-eight years ago they organized
the State "Deseret," and demanded its
admission into the Union. They saw"
says Mr.. liollister, that Utah could not
always remain a territory, under the
immediate supervision Of congress, and
the sort of state it would bein the hands
exclusively of the Mormon theocracy
was of ever-growing concern to them, as
their stake in the territory steadily be-
came more valuable. They could but
regard the day when Utah should
become a state with dread in proportion
rs the Mormons regarded it with long
ing" Mr.. HOLSTER knows whereof he
speaks when he adds at was with
reference to this inevitable day rather
than TO their pending status that the
Gentiles contested elections, not SO
much hoping to elect any one as to in
duce thought for discussion. Vain hope
The formidable organization that en-
velops them with hatred as with a gar
ment is solid as ever and enlarged by
the growth of all these years. Its adj
herents are impervious to reason they
do not think they listen for the voice
of their leaders, and catching it, obey"
Mr.. HOLSTER shows how the Mormons
manage to retain their despotism, even
under the stringent provisions of the
Edmunds law. The error Of congress,
he thinks, is In The attempt to individ
ualize or classify Mormons. There is
really nothing but an omnipotent Nor
mon corporation" "Nor," he adds" is
thisap ordinary corporation, the lreature
of human laws, and operating by human
methods. According to its profession
and belief this is a creature of divine
law, operating by divine methods. In
the former there may be and there are
dissent and division. In the latter,
dissent or division is impossible they
cannot be where divine guidance is not
only Immediately attainable, but is had
and enjoyed. If there is good ground
upon which to disfranchise ali Mormons,
and vice versa" Why not disfranchise
the Mormons confsca,e their ecclesias-
teal property al send out two or three
regiments of troops, if necessary, to aid
in executing the laws against polygamy?

mer who was overtakeu by the storm
and frozen, while going six miles TO a
stack for a load of hay. No forehanded
farmer will leave his winters supply of
fodder six miles distant from his home
until the middle of January, when he
has had months of practical idleness in
which to get everything near at hand.
And the people who live in areas sub
ject to these severe storms, whose
characteristics are perfectly well known,
are to blame for venturing out at a time
when everything assured a blockade.
We have no lack of sympathy with
these poor people, o refuse to mourn
with them, as with the friends of the
poor fellow who was crushed to death a
day or two ago in st. Paul. But when
he persisted. after warnings,in dancing a
jig on a ledge of the ice palace a hun
dred feet from earth, the winter carnival
is not to be blamed because he slipped
and fell. And we cannot hold the elm
ate responsible for that large array OF
casualties that is directly the product
Of improvidence. The plain fact, then
is that we have had a few days of severe
and one Of extreme cold. The winter,
in itself, is not one of great severity, nor
is there attending it any unusual dis
comfort. The accompaniment of a
binding storm wrought much loss of life
on the unprotected plains. But the
images that present themselves to forei-
On minds, of aictic rigors and stiffening
limbs, and which will be improved upon
by every effort Of the imaginative cor
respondent, are pure phantoms. The
Northwest is a comfortable place for
living, winter as well as The
recent storm no more proves the con
trary than the fact that scores Of people
fell dead or dying last summer, within a
day, in the streets Of st. Louis and Gin
cinnati and New York, proves that those
cities lie close upon the borders Of the
internal regions.-Pioneer Press.

conversation they know how to sway
others by them. Polite people have
influence that is not due to their post
ion OF possessions, to their learning or
their wit. There are those who believe
that good are only another
name for good clothes and good food
and homes with the modern convenient
ces and luxuries, that they are talkative
and emphatic and snowy but we do not
always find that the best hammered peo-
pie live in palaces. Good manners are
something which nobody can afford to
do without, no matter how rich or power
full or intellectual he may be. They add
to beauty, they detract from persona!
ugliness, they cast a glamour over defects.
they ameliorate the round shoulders of
this person and the squint of the other;
where they exist, imagination supplies
deficiencies of every other attraction.
They are contagious, like the measles,

Cold and Dry.

It is very COMMONLY remarked, and
winters is not SO keenly felt as else
where, because it is SO dry" here
Yesterday morning a tough citizen of
Minneapolis entered a bar room and
leaned w~istfully over the bar,
Terrible cold" suggested the bar
keeper.
Eyes, It's cold, was the response, but
I'm so dry | don't feel it much" He
was soon made less dry.
But it was very cold, all the same.
Old-time liars found their limit reached
and their inventive ingenuity taxed to
surpass the actual truth, Yesterday
morning was the coolest of which there
is any record in Minneapolis. 1t was
over 50 deg, below the freezing point.
Mercurial thermometers were frozen
out and rendered useless and only the
spirit instruments were of any service
in the emergency. Mercury congeals at
about 40 deg. below zero and it was cold.
er than that, measured even by those
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that never cone
within 10 deg. ofthe truth. The coolest
point marked, as far as could be ascer-
tanned, was 81 deg. below zero, which
vas marked by a good thermometer on
the hill at Thirty-eight street and
Second avenue south, at ) o'clock yes
terdav morning. At Twentv-sixth and
Nicollet the mark was so deg. just at
daylight. The air was perfectly clear
and calm, and these instruments had q
full exposure, In the central part of
the city, among the large buildings, the
temperature was some t or deg. warmer
- deg. being the average temperature.
The oldest inhabitant has no recollec-
ton of a colder night or a colder ten-day
period. William Cheney, the United
States observer, pronounced it the cold
st in twenty three years, but his mer-
curry frOze and he cannot give the fig
ure. II. Z. Russell knows no parallel,
Though he has spent over thirty years
here. But, SO far as known, there has
been no case of serious exposure or
hardship and no loss of life in this yicin-
ity.-St. Paul Globe.

There are a good many people in st.

left a record behind him here which is
not likely to be forgotten soon. He is
now living in splendid style in the East,
spending most Of his time at fashionable
hotels in New York city where st,
Paul people have seer him frequently
of late, and have wondered how he
could live in such a lavish upon
the not too generous pay of a retired
army officer. The mystery is no longer

it. Nearly thirty years ago, while

much just where they were located, but
intending to let them lie and some day
look them up. He had almost forgotten
about the purchase when Dakota began
to boom and he began to receive letters
asking what he would take for his land.
He wasn't in any hurry to sell. So he
took a trip out to see the land. He
found a railroad heading his way aud II
town established in the near vicinity.
With the business sense developed, by
his long residence in the West it didn't
take him very long to see that he had a
fortune in his grasp. Part of the land
was plated and sold, the rest turned
into IA ranch, and from the two Gen.
Meyers has become very rich and is
enabled to live in anv style he chooses.
So it will be seen that the West offers
business chances even to army officers.
