SUNDAY SELLING.

Reported Movement TO Actively Fight the
Law and Order League.
1t was said yesterday that movement was
on foot among people who are antsgonistic
to the Law and Order League to organize a
meeting in Lafayette Hall, some evening
toward the end of this week, to which all
persons will be invited whose sympathies
are with the merchants who have been pros
ecuted for Sunday selling. Men who are
working up this counter movement claim
that they will be able to prove that the Law
and Order League, up to January, 1889, had
handled over 1,300 cases and has up to this
time made 500 900.

Catarrh

rs blood disease. Until the poison "a
expelled from the system, there can
be no cure for this loathsome and
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment is a thorough course
of Ayers Sarsaparilla = the best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
the better delay is dangerous.
"Iwas troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedies,
and was treated by number of physi-
clans, but received no benefit until I
began to take Ayers Sarsaparilla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me Of
this troublesome complaint and COM
pletely restored my health. jesse n.
Boggs, Holman's Mills, n. G.
"When. Ayers Sarsaparilla was rec
commended to me for eatarrh, was in
clined to doubt its efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben
eft, had no faith that anything would
cure me. became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
had nearly lost the sense of smell, and
my system was badly deranged. was
about discouraged, when friend urged
me to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and re-
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking half dozen
bottles of this medicine, ! am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the blood"

QUIET AS A CHURCH.
Dr.. Rylance breaches to His Old Con-
gregatiOn, as Advertised.
HIS ENEMIES FAIL TO FACE HIM,
And His Friends Turn Out in Full Force
and After His Sermon
THEY TENDER HIM A CHURCH OVATION.
Men, Women and Children Tell Him They Believe BE
is Innocent

When it was announced that DR.. Rylance,
Rector of st. Marks Episcopal Church, New
York City, intended to occupy his pulpit
yesterday an exciting time was anticipated.
The Doctors friends turned out in full force
to hear him, though, and his enemies
absented themselves from the church, so the
sensation was spoiled.

A WOMAN C0NFESSES.
Sensational Developments in
a Murder Trial.
A HUSBAND LURED TO DEATH
The Diabolical Plot of Faithless
Wife and Her Para
mour.

EAsroS, Pa, Oct, 2i.--Tho trial Of w.
II. Bartholomew for the murder of
Washington billiard was stopped sud.
denly to-day by q sensational confession.
The widow of the murdered man came
into court determined to go OH to the
stand and tell all she knew about the
murder of her husband and plead guilty
to murder In the second degree. This
was a. great surprise to the lawyers, and
adjournment was taken until afternoon.
Mrs. billiard was tncn placed upon
the stand and testified that she had sus.
tanned improper rclati ons with Barthol.
omew two years before the death of her
husband. II was finally determined to
murder billiard. The ticndish plot was
conceived by Bartholomew, who
fixed billiards. gun so that il
would be useless, and then said he would
come to the house the next night and
make disturbance in the chicken roost
when Mrs billiard should bring her hus-
band out with his gun and Bartholomew
would kill him.
The programme was carried out. Dill
lard went ont with his gun and was shot
dead by her paramour.
The woman broke down several times
while telling her story. Before the muir.
der Bartho olomew wanted to rent the
farm, so they might all live together,
and when Mrs. billiard would not agree
TO that wanted her to go West with him.
This she refused to do as long as her
husband lived. and the result was de.
termination to kill him. Mrs. billiard is
80 years of age.

GOV. SH0UP'S REPORT
Reasons Urged for the Admis-
sion Of the Territory.
AN INCREASE IN POPULATION
Much Attention Devoted to the
Mormon Question-Polygamy
Secretly Practioed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.--George L..
Shoup, governor of Idaho in his annual
report gives important provisions of the
constitution which will be submitted to
the people for their adoption at the
election to be held November 8. Idaho,
he states, claims all the essential quail
iications necessary to assume the dig
nifty and responsibility of statehood,
steady growth in population and taxable
property and large increase in produc.
tions, tho yield of valuable metals nearly
doubling that in the last few years. All
these show, the governor thinks, that
Idaho is in the line of progress.
The report states that there are 25,0O0
people in Idaho who are adhcrents of the
Mormon faith. The population is
1877. Polygamy, however is
not at the present time openly
practiced In the territory, but the gov.
crnor adds that as to the fact that 1t Is
practiced secretly to a large extent there
seems TO DO no doubt, as indictments are
found i'll nearly every term of court held,
and number of convictions have been
secured. He says he has reason to
believe that q division Of sentiment Is
springing up in the church on the sub
jcct OF the practice of polygamy. Under
our institutions polygamy will be pro-
hibited and the insertion of this pro
vision may be regarded as fact. Tho
report states this as an expression OF tho
voice of the people of the territory on
this subject.
The allotment of lands to Indians
under the severalty act Is progressing
satisfactorily and with little opposition
on the part OF the Indians.

MIR. JOHNSON, EXPLAIN
A Serious Charge Against a Man
Supposed to Be in Spokane
Falls.
The Columns of the Review" Are
Open to Him for a State
ment.

A few days ago the REVIEW published
letter from Minneapolis making in
quiry for Samuel Johnson, who left his
family OF wifo and four children two
years aao and came to Spokane Falls
For long time Mrs Johnson has had
no word from the missing man, and she
is naturally greatly alarmed at his
silence. She is very poor, and has had
q hard time supporting her little brood
of fatherless children.
The Oaksdalc Sun just to hand, throws
a flood Of light upon this case, which, II
true, places Mr.. Johnson in an ex-
trclnely unpleasant position. 1t saws
"A man answering the above descrip-
lion to dot landed in Oaksdalo Feb
ruary II and registered at the Oaksdale
house as S. Il. Johnston of Spokane
Falls. Shortly aiterward he formed u
partnership with Jim Rooney and they
os3nened stone, quarry ON Gran tie hill;
They then took the contract to build
Union block and completed 1t some time
In July. On July 2s this same Samuel
r. Johnston was married to frankie
Williams at some point in Idaho, and Is
now living at Spokane Falls with his
wife. He was originally from hinne-
apolis, and J. II. Mcdowell remembers
hearing Johnston speak of having been
in Anaconda. He is certainly the man."
The REVIEW would not like to make so
positive an assertion as this. There is a
possibility that confusion of names
may be proved, but the appearances are
against johnson, and If he is innocent
an exclamation is certainly in order.

by locating his man at Pennington. no

learned that Matlock had sold the horse

THE LUMBER INDUSTRY.
Statistics Showing the Number of
Mills In tho Northwest Region.

According to the Northwestern Lum.
herman, which has made directory of
the lumber trade, there are in the United
States 6709 saw mills, 1882 shingle mills,
5oos planning mills, 52i logging railroads,
1897 dry kiln plants and 204 mills using
band saving machines. The journal
quoted has devoted especial effort to the
promotion of the industry upon the Pa
citc coast, California has 11S saw mills,
fifty-seven shingle mills, 232 planning
mills, thirty. seven logging railroads and
nineteen dry kilns. Oregon has 2l2 saw
mills, tbirty.onc shingle mills, 1872 plan
ing mills, seven logging railroads and
fourteen dry kiln plants. In Washing
ton 1s2 saw mills are reported, seventy
one shingle mills, 1872 planning mills,
twenty-five logging railroads and thirty
eight dry kiln plants. The most modern
machinery is used In these EN-
terprises and logs are fre-
quently brought considerable distance
upon logging railroads. These are gem
orally laid with light iron or wood rails,
but occasionally the track is made up
nailed together. The engines and cars
which ruin OH these pole roads have
wheels with concuve treads, and OF
course, only slow speed Is made. Up in
tho Michigan peninsula, where tho win.
tcrs urc long and severe, u steam trac-
tion engine running over snow is used
without tracks. Within few years Pa
cific coast lumber has found its way in
quantity east of tho mountains, n result
partly due to tho increase of manu-
featuring capacity and partly to the in
iiux Of Eastern capital Invested in tim.
Der lands and mills. A slight check has
becn given this movement this year,
caused by the burning of Seattle, Spo.
