Insulting Mormons Punished.

CHICAGO, Ills, July pa special
dispatch from Nashville says: 1.-TWO
hundred people in the twenty-third
district of Wilson county, have banded
for the purpose of driving the Mormon
elders and converts from that county.
This action has been taken, because
while the Rev. John Harrett, a Bap-
fist minister, was holding services in
Wetmore's school-house, he was in
terrupted by some Mormon converts
present, who asked him several ques-
tons and then became insulting in
their language. The members of the
congregation made a move to resent
this otfense, whereupon the Mormons
jumped out of the windows and dared
them to come out and fight. The
Mormons have been forbidden to
travel ON the roads and notified to
leave the county or stop holding
meetings.

THE CITY IN THE SOUP.

The City Street Railway Goes on
With its Work.
Since Judge Noonan's return to the
city change has come over the situ-
ton on Alamo Plaza. The con tractors
acting under the city authority and
the police who were holding down
paving block by his honor's orders
were informed last evening that the
car company had the call in the game.
A bout o'clock last evening Marshal
Shardein called off his forces and lett
the city railway company free to pro-
coed with laying track as ordered by
Judge Noonan. The attorneys of the
street car company received all en-
largement of their powers under the
injunction, by which they could lay
track upon the grade established by
the paving contractors, City Engineer
Prefer having refused them grade
This was done and track laying was
resumed this morning at 10 O'clock.
Concerning this grade, Engineer
Pretzler does not feel like saying
much, but admits that it is not far out
of the way. He also comedies that if
the blocks are relaid close to the track
and so as to exclude any water run
ming under the paving there will be
no damage to the pavement. This is
the situation at this writing. A great
deal of fuss for nothing and bad feel
Ing TO no good end.

The Man With the Coonskin Cap.
Brom the Net0 York Sun.

One night year ago there were half dozen
OF us to go up to the village hotel in the rickety
old bus, and among the crowd was a solemn
looking old chap, dressed in very plain goods
and wearing coonskin cap. 1t was the typical
village hotel landlord in the barroom, a very
fresh young man behind the register, mighty
little for supper and that poorly cooked, and
there was more or loss growing. The man with
the coonslin cap was treated very brusquely by
the clerk, and the frowsy-headed waiter girl
didn't seem to care whether he had anything to
eat or not. He didn't say much, but it was evi
dent that he was mad.
After supper the landlord and "Coonskn'
had private confab. When it was ended the
old man came downstairs opened the front
door and then turned to the clerk and said:
"You git"
What do you mean?'
II have rented this hotel. Skip!''
The clerk put on his coat and hat and walked
out. Then "Coonskin" sent word to the cook
and waiter girl to be out in half an hour for the
hostler to be gone by midnight, and for the
oarkeeper to vacate by noon the next day. He
kindly allowed us to stop over night, but we had
to get our breakfast st a bakery By noon the
doors of the hotel were nailed up, signs OF

Stuart Robson's Voice.

Stuart Robson, the comedian, called the other
day upon one of our local chiropodsts, says the
San Francisco Examiner, and solicited his
services professionally. AS an expert in the art
of polite and entertaining conversation he
found the knight of the knife equal to any ton.
serial talker he had ever sat under. After a
brilliant discussion of art, politics. and letters
the expert deftly turned the conversation upon
ike subject of a magic corn-destroyer of his
own discovery.
do you know said he suavely, s'this is one
of the most remarkable drugs ever discovered:
1t will remove any corn in forty-eight hours:
takes tan and freckles from the face and if
rubbed on the affected parts will remove govt
aud rheumatism with lightning speed. But by
far the most wonderful virtue il possesses is
that it will cure almost any affection of the
throat or voice. For example, do you ever go
to the theater?"
Mr. Robson admitted that he was sometimes
seen in the play-houses.

The ECONOMY of 4ood Roads

The question how to secure better roads
has received an unusual amount of atten-
ton lately in nearly every part of the coun-
try, and one of the suggestions for securing
them is that of writer in Scribner's Maqa-
zine. He wants a superintendent of roads
for the entire country and one for each of
the states appointed, the superintendent ia
Washington TO instruct the people concern
ing the best methods of improving the roads,
and to report annually the progress made
in each state, and those in the states to see
that the road commissioners of the differe mt
counties have the work under their direc
ton done properly. Various other plans
have been suggested, all of which go to
show that the demand for better roads is
increasing.
The census of 1880 contained some very
interesting and important figures concern
ing the losses incurred by farmers on
account of bad roads, An attempt was
made to obtain fair estimate of the cost
in the west of conveying grain from the
farms to the railway stations, and while the
estimates varied from 80 cents to 50 for
hauling 100 bushels one mile, the average
cost was about GO cents for hauling that
number of bushels the distance named. 1t
was stated that in most of the western
wheat regions, if wheat had to be hauled
more than eighteen or twenty miles to
| railway station or TO water, the profits of
| its culture were eaten up by the expenses.
| These figures led to special investigation in
some of the states, and experts in Illinois
| calculated that for two-thirds of the year
| in that state not more than one-half of a
| good load could be hauled
| A Boston engineer, comparing the roads
of this country with those of England, saws
| that in England horse employed in the
/ streets of a city or on the roads of the coun-
| try can do twice as much work as one SINH
larry employed in America, and in his
practical Treatise on Roads," Gilmore
! says that it requires three times as much
force to pull load over common country
| road as over a macadamized one. He did
not take into consideration the fact that tho
| greater part of the year the country roads
are III very bad condition Prof Eley cal
culates that poor roads cost the farmer an
average of at least SIS horse "A year.
These things should impress upon the
! people the economy of good roads. 1t costs
something to keep road in good condition
but it costs great deal more to let it re-
main in bad condition.
