Horse Flesh as Food.

Our Berlin correspondent writes: The
price of beef, mutton and pork has in
creased so much throughout Germany
that hundreds of households of thesmall
official class and artisans and laborers
cannot afford 70 see these meats On their
tables. Recourse is now bad to horse
flesh, which IS much cheaper, though
the extra demand has run up the price
of this also. In the month Of October
SIC horses were slaughtered in Berlin for
domestic consumption, an increase of %
per cent. as compared with last year. AT
Konissbers. town with about tenth
of the iphab;taats of Berlin, $50 horses
went to the butchers. At Carlsruhe the
increase in the consumption OF horse
flesh is cent per cent. as compared with
last year, and Dortmund follows suit; at
Caseell it is 80 per cent, and at Bochum
and Stuttgart it is % per cent; at Leip-
sic it is a little over 60 per cent: at
Brunswick and Lubbock IL Is over 30 per
cent. The increase is also great at Ham

Truth Not ALWAYS Pleasant.

"Dear friendp' cried the willow, as she
bent over the stream, and gazed on her
beautiful form reflected on the CLASSY
surface, chow tender and how true you
are! l and the flowers around mo have
not a single charm that is not mirrored
on your faithful bosom" And, as the
breeze played gently among her branches,
they bent to the stream and kissed the
placid waters.
Summer passed, and winter; summef
and winter; summer and winter; and the
willow grew old. It's leaves were few,
its branches withered, the flowers around
faded.
"How changed you are" she cried
peevishly to the stream. ''Once / never
looked on you but to rejoice, for all you
showed me was pleasant and fun of
praise. Now, when / try to bend to
catch . glimpse, ! turn away sad and
sorowful; for what do you bring before

grace; but baroness, deforsnity and de-
cay. You are greatly changed.
"Foolish wilIow!" answered the
stream, Il an too true-that is my
fault There is a change, but it is not
in me; but you are not the only one that
looks coldly on the truth when it offends

THE MORMONS DEFEATED.
Salt Lakes Municipal Election Carried by
the Gentiles.

SALTLAKE, Utah, Feb. 10.-The NUM-
cipal elections in this city, the result of
which is attracting the attracting the at
tention of the entire country, passed off
quietly today contrary to the general ex-
pectation. The city has been crowded for
days with special police, detectives and
United States marshals, for the purpose of
preventing illegal voting which each party
claimed the other would resort to for the
purpose.of carrying the day. The excite
ment was intense and was participated in
by excited citizens who realized that upon
the result of todav's battle depended the
future of the Mormon church as political
organization.
The voting passed off as
quietly as in some hamlet for q
county justice. Only six arrests were
made for attempting to vote illegally and
these were made without any demonstra-
tiOns from either side. At this hour it is
estimated that the returns at the Liberals
tGentiles) headquarters gave them major.
ity of 207 votes
At 6 o'clock to night Chairman Powers
claimed that tie Gentle majority will
reach 1,400. This however, is denied by
Chairman Richards, who says it is i'm
possible to say which side is victorious
until the complete returns have been
counted. The Mormons claim that film
fam" and fraud has been the order of the
day with the Gentiles and if
they are victorious it will
have been by these methods and in this
event the Mormons will contest the cleo
;ion in the supreme court of the United
States.
The polls closed at o'clock and the
liberal leaders posted a bulletin in the
windows of the headquarters claiming a
majority of ], 200. The news soon spread
over the city and the Gentiles took possess
sion Of the city. Flags were run up.
Every Gentle building in the city was
decorated with flags and lanterns and fire
works were sent up from hundreds of
house tops. CannouS doomed and bonfires
were seen upon every corner and hundreds
of men were in line parading the streets
with drums and TORCHES, shouting like
wild men over their victory. No such
scenes was ever witnessed in Utah as can
be seen in Salt Lake tonight
The Mormons remain in doors and have
nothing to say on the result except that
the election was carried by fraud and that
they will surely contest it. They admit
their defeat. but claim the majority will
not exceed 400. Official returns will not be
in until late.
At il O'Clock the official returns from
every precinct in the city but one gives
George NJ. Scott (Gentile), for mayor, ,2240
votes, Spencer Clawson (Mormon) 532.
Returns from this precinct will probably
swell Scott's majority to $50.

with beng, and the man worth having
as husband is the one who will appre-
ciate your love for those of your own
people and will see that as you make a
small part in one home, you are becom-

other.
Never say that you don't expect man
to marry your whole family. It's vul-
gar. You do. That is, if you are good
daughter and loving sister. You want
him to be one with you in sympathy and
in affection, and as you take his name,
so you assume responsibilities as far as
his people are concerned. You two are
the most to each other-your love for
each should be the greatest, bat you can
not isolate yourselves and insist that you
have no duties outside your own home.
If you do this you become narrow and
selfish, and you are quite too nice a girl
for that. So remember when he comes
this bridegroom of yours, that his heart
is bound the tighter to you if the ribbon
used to hold it has written upon it in

skillful medical practitioners to possess
not only remedial but defensive efficacy,
where those diseases exist, or tendency

LATHRoPS CRUSADE.
Both Sides in the Contest Firm-Platts-

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Feb. 10.-The Times
Lathrop Mo-, special says: The temper
ance crusade goes merrily on. A mass
meeting was held this afternoon to deter
mine in what manner the public regarded
the action of the ladies recently in raiding
the saloons that were doing business can
trAry to the provisions of the local option
law Prominent among those present
were four clergymen, representing as
many different denominations. Resolu-
tions were adopted endorsing the course of
action pursued by the women and assuring
them that they would in the future have
the moral and financial support of the cit
izens Of the county. The Rev. w. A.
Crouch in speaking to the resolu-
tions said that there were certain
occasions when mob law was justifiable
The raid upon the saloon was one of those
occasions and the women did perfectly
right. If the men of the town did not
let them stay at home and rock the babies
while their wives carried forward the
work Of the crusade
At this point the announcement was
made from the platform that James Ward,
one of the sufferers by the raid. had been
before the prosecuting attorney and had
an affidavit sworn out for arrest of four
Ueeu HOucn duO uluS hlCh WIZ
had participated in the raid,
charging them with riot. This
announcement was received amid
much excitement and the Rev. Pierce,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church
(north) rose to speak. He denounced the
violators of the law and the officers who
would dare to arrest the women and said
that when the officers should have plucked
the feathers from their bodies the women
would be ready to undergo their punish
ment, intlmating that the officers would
be treated to tar and feathers should they
attempt to make the arrests.
1t is expected the arrests will be made
tomorrow. In the meantime the excite
ment over the situation increases.
A dispatch from Plastsburg. Mo-, says:
A crusade has been organized among the
the temperance women of this city after
the plan of the Lathrop crusade. About
100 women met today and, after perfecting
an organization, served notice upon Henry
B. Mcintyre, the keeper Of a saloon which
is being run in violation of the local option

before next Saturday it would be closed
for him after the Lathrop plan.

A Negress Beaten and Her Child Killed
by Negro Women.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb 10-The follow
ing story comes from Allendale, hamlet
in Barnwell county, near the scene of the
recent wholesale lynchings; Hattie Fra
Zier, a negro woman, and her infant, a
month old, were the victims of queer
black cap outrage. When the news of the
butchery at Barnwell court house reached
Allendale Hattie Frazier was one of the
few negroes who did not join in the chorus
of condemnation of that act. Since that
time she received threats but treated them
with scorn. One night last week,
while asleep in her house she
was aroused by noise Indicating
that some one was trying to get in at the
door Not suspecting anything she went
out with her child in her arms to see what
was the matter. Arriving at the door she
was seized and dragged away from the
house and subjected to a most brutal
beating. The lynchers were masked and
wore caps which were all black. After
beating the women nearly to death they
left her with a warning that they would
return the next night and finish her if she
was found in the neighborhood. After
their departure the woman dragged her
self to the house and found her child living
dead on the ground.
The next day she identified two
of her asSailauts. They were negro women
and We're at once arrested and locked up
They turned states evidence and confessed
the fiogging was done by band of twenty
or thirty negreSseS dressed in male attire
with black masks and caps and who un-
dertook to punish their victims for the
