get the books sent by the secretary OF
state to the county clerk for the town
ship clerk, justice of the peace or Other
township officials, they will lose the
value of the books from their own

such officers must account to their sue

clerk has failed to deliver them that
officer must pass over the value of the
books. The clerk must get the books
OF the county clerk within thirty days
after receiving the notice from the
secretary of state.

When the Flint and Pere Marquette

wonderfully. until at present there is
but difference of So per ton between
the price paid in June for new steel
and the October market rating for old
iron. Under such favorable conditions
the Flint and PeTe Marquette company
has made judicious sale of 5000 tons
at the advanced price to John Mullen,
agent, of Detroit.
Are the American people "unsociaI -
They are not generally so considered,
and yet there are some things which in
dictate an increasing indifference to
each other among them, even when
brought into close relationship. and an
almost entire disappearance of the ele-
ment of curiosity" as the desire to-
know something about those whom one
meets is sometimes called. The char
acteristics are particularly noticeable
among men who are brought together
by the circumstances of employment,
it frequently happening that they may
work upon the same lob" and even
"side' by side" for long time without
knowing each others names, unless
they have had previous acquaintance.
A fact illustrating this characteristic
was mentioned recently by citizen of
Port Huron to whom some men were
sent to do special work. They bore the
relation to each other of 'journeyman7
and "helper," and although they had
worked together for some time neither
knew the name of the other, as was as
certained on inquiry. Probably the
rapid increase of population, especially
as regards density" in the towns and
cities, and the frequent changes in bust
ness and industrial relationships and
associations, has produced, and is stead
lily increasing, this indifference regard
ing the personality of those whom We
meet from day to day.
On the 18th of October was given to
the world what all the world has long
been waiting for-not a new religion,
nor new prophet, but what Hubert
Howe Bancroft, in his History of Utah
has to say of the many wived religion,
and the prophets Joseph Smith, Brig
ham Young and their successors. 1t is
in many respects the most startling
episode in the evolution of the Ameri-
can nation. Among the unlearned and
superstitious of New Y DIRK arises So
called prophet and seer, who soon
counts his followers by thousands, the
multitude not long afterward being
obliged, from the enmity of their
neighbors, to flee first to Ohio. then to
Missouri and Illinois, and finally to the
sandy wllds of Utah. where they gather
fresh females from Europe, whom they
marry early and often, and multiply
prodigiously. a great commonwealth
blossoms in the wilderness; a political
trinity appears, founded on the
combined principles of theocra-
cy, hierarchy, and patriarchy. Alleges
well until California gold opens a
stream of adventures through their
sacred gardens, to the serious disturb
ance of practical husband and spiritual
wives. The railroad inflicts another
stab, while the gentiles swear that this
thing shall not be. In the fair and
philosophical delineation of this phe-
nominal episode there is field for the
