ALL THAT THE "MoRMoNsn DESIRE.

They do not believe they will be REQUIRED
to handle the weapons of war. They have
profound faith that God viii fight their
battles. There is not the slightest whisper
of carnal conflict among them. There is
no pretext for a collision between the
'Mormons" and the government. The
only dispute that has arisen of late wears
between them was question of law.
That has been settled by the decisions of
the supreme court of the United States
and the action of the church in general
conference. Plural marriage has been iu :
dicially decided TO be unlawful The
church has accepted the decision as legally
final, and by my official advice as president
of the church, has in the most solemn and
authoritative manner decided not to enter
into any marriages in the future that are
contrary to the laws of the land.
What folly then, for this assumed Nor
to say: 1--WE must fight or we must per-
ish." 1--WE would rather die than give up
this article of our creed" And what alb
eurdity to say, SIN every endowment
house in Utah plural marriages are being
secretly celebrated to day" There never
was but one endowment house in Utah ana
that, by my orders, was torn down in 1889.
If the temples are meant by that term, |
say most emphatically the statement is
false, and that

knowledge or that of any of my associates
for some years. And l cannot conceive
how they could be performed without my
sanction and official consent.
l object to the publication of the articles
in the Illustrated american CHIEFLY on the
ground that they pretend to be written
from Mormon standpoint, and that thus
the public are misled and the people whom
| represent are correspondingly injured.
For, while objection might reasonably be
made to the many misrepresentation those
articles contain, yet they are simply old
stories retold and they have been often dis
proved. But when they are attributed to a
Mormon source, their falsehood becomes
doubly shameful, and they can only be
characterized as cowardly and contempt
ible.

The editorial remarks that have accom-
panied them follow the line and lead to the
end they have in view. They credit the
"Mormonsn with lives which are models
OF decorum." Yet they assert that the
"Mormons" massacred men, women and
children at Mountain Meadows. The same
people who are held up to admiration for
ligion, are accused of "a policy of decep-
tion," and while yielding to the demands
made upon them at great sacrifice of feel
ing, they are charged with defying the
government, "flinging down the gauntlet"
and wanting and preparing to fight.

Opened.
At Least Seventeen New Ships Will
Have to Be Built.
Sixty Vessels Carrying the American
Flag Required-A Subsidy of
S1,5OO,OOO Needed to

Associated Press Dispatches.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-By the bids
received at the postof1ice department
today Cor ocean mail lettings for service
upon lines now performing service, the
time of the voyages upon the various
routes is reduced in amounts varying
from 10 to 80 per cent. This, of course,
necessitates additional ships, and, in
Guiding four new routes proposed for it,
would seem that there must be not less
than seventeen ships built at cost of
not less than $14,000,000. If all the bids
are accepted, the amount of the sub
sidy required will be about 81 500, 900.
When the full service is in operation
the service under the postal shipping
bill will require about sixty ships, all
told, carrying the American flag.
The department has had knowledge of
negotiations in progress for other routes
upon which bids have been deferred for
various reasons, notably the New Zea-
land service, in which the difficulty
seems to be that the New Zealand au-
thorities entertain the idea of improving
the service between that country and
this by making concession to the
Spreckels company, but urging that
some Of the vessels shall carry the New
Zealand flag. which would be contrary
to the stipulations of the postal subsidy
bill,

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 26.-The celibate

been estimated at $3.50, 100000, have en-
dorsed the doctrine of DR.. Cyrus Teed
who came here from Chicago to interest
the members in the new sect OF Kore-

Saturday night it was decided by the
board TO support Teed in whatever way
they could. Yesterday the announce
ment Of the proposed change was made
to the economies in church. Teed
claims to be a second Messiah, and to be
immortal. In an interview concerning
his plans, he said:

store in Pittsburg on my system OF
equable commerce, l will establish
big central house in Chicago, and expect

come here for their money. l want
their moral support and credit. Through
their influence l expect to bring closer
to me the other FIVE celibate societies in

CoLFAx, CAL, Oct. 26.-The examina-
tion of AL and JEFF Roberts, on the
charge OF train wrecking, took place
before Judge Stevens this morning.
Owing to the smallness of the court
room the case was tried in Keck's hall.
The proceedings were on arguments as
to whether or not the defendants should
be tried separately. Judge Stevens ruled
that they should be tried separately.
The district attorney then dismissed the
charge against them. They were re-
arrested and taken to Auburn, where
they will probably remain until the
grand jury meets.
G. H. Jones, OF Sacramento, and Dis
trict Attorney Robinson appeared for
the prosecution. The investigation has
caused much dissatisfaction among the
public who expected to hear sensational
DEVELOPMENTS. The chief objection to q
separate trial was expense to the county
and inconvenience to the witnesses.
Starchman, the brakeman accused OF
shooting tramp, denies doing the act.
The conductor of train No. 3 says Starch
man never carried revolver. The in
iured man lives in Albany, N. Y. He is
in the hospital at Auburn. The doctors
think he will lose his leg. No arrests
have been made.

and Otherwise.


MoDEsTo, CAL, Oct. 26.-This after
noon fire was discovered on the roof OF {
new frame building on H street, in the
center of town. The fire was extin'
guished before much damage was done.
Subsequently the fire again started. and
an investigation showed that several
sticks of phosphorus, found on the
building, had ignited after drying. The
motive of the miscreants was revenge
upon the owner or occupants.
Yesterday afternoon the residence OF
William Gates, seven miles from Mo

caught from a defective sHtovepipe.

NIMBLE MILLIGAN.
Sheriff Gibson Found His Man Had
Skipped.


Skipped.
Sheriff Gibson returned to the city
yesterday from trip to Flagstaff, Ariz.,
where he went to bring back to this city
F. s. Milligan, who is wanted for for
gerry.
About two months ago Milligan for
ged a check with the name of Hugh
Smith, who keeps a saloon on the cor
ner of First and Los Angeles streets, and
Immediately upon securing the money
on the worthless paper, he shook the
dust of Los Angeles from his feet and
for more than six weeks has been ener-
getically sought for.
The fellow was finally arrested at
Flagstaff, and a telegram announcing
his apprehension reached this city on
Friday last and Mr.. Gibson at once left
to bring him back. When be arrived at
his destination he was greeted with the
tidings that Milligan was again free
man, having broken his shackles and
escaped from the Jail on the very night
the sheriff started from this city.
Milligan appears to have great facility
in getting himself out of bad scrapes.
1t is but a short time ago that he occu-
pied a cell in the Visalia county
Jail on long sentence for
an offense committed in that county,
and only four months ago Governor
Markham affixed his signature to his
pardon. He then came to this city and
passed the forged check. The sheriff's
office has learned that when he left this
city he went directly to the untains
and made his way down the range.
Sheriff Gibson says he will land his man
before long.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The train-running

of the journey. 1t is also proposed to
quicken the speed of the fast trains so
much that passenger leaving Chicago
Monday evening, for instance, will ar

instead OF Saturday morning as at pres

own money in the place, and accounted
for the money he received from Mrs.
Clark, although the expenditures seem
to have been made with lavish hand.
Upon cross-examination he was ques.

who took up the bills and checks and
went over each one separately. Moth
ing new was brought out during the en-
tire day bevond what has already been

night session was also held, but the
prosecution did not finish with him,
and the case went over until this morn
ing at $3.50 O'Clock. The direct exam
ination occupied all the forenoon, and
the defendant related the story of mis-
alleged partnership with Mrs. Clark in
the purchase of the st. Julian saloon.
The greater portion of the time was
occupied in the investigation of the ac-
counts of the concern. The defendant
produced the bills he had paid in the

Incendiary Fires-Street Paving-Good
Raisin- Curing weather.
SAN BERNARDNo, CAL, Oct. 26.-In-
cendiary fires have been very numerous
in this county OF late. The fire at the
Town drug store in this city Saturday
night was purely accidental. The big
fire in the Otis block at Redlands, Sun
day night, is said to have been caused
by the over-insurance of tenant.
The work OF paving the streets is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Over one mile
of work is rapidly approaching compile
ton. Over half a mile additional con-
tracts have been let, and the work will
probably be completed before the winter
rains, unless they set in unusually early.
Exceptionally good weather is prevail
ing for the curing of the raisin crop,
which it is estimated this year will ex-
ceed 300, 600 boxes in this county.

New England Piety.

There are communities of sturdy New
England people where the general rule
that religious services languish in the
absence Of pastor does not hold. In
North Warren weekly prayer meetings
have been held for over seventy years
uninterruptedly, and this without the
help Of minister, except for an occa-
sional lecture. At first the meetings
were held at private dwellings, but for
over thirty years the people have met at
a schoolhouse. .-Rockland (Me.) Tribune

Continued Popularity of the Maier &
Zobelein Beer.

1t is indeed creditable to Los Angeles
to have an industry that has met with
such unprecedented success as the Maier
& Zobelein brewery has. They are max
ing an excellent beer, and SO popular
has become the Maier & Zobelein beer
that there is scarcely any eastern beer
sold here on draught. Our home beer is
equal, if not superior, TO any of the east
ern importation. Messrs. Maier & To-
belein realize that it pays to give the
public a good article and intend to keep
their beer up to its present standard,
Notwithstanding that their brewery is
taxed to its greatest capacity to meet
the enormous demands. Their bottled
beer for families is also meeting with
equally as much favor. Their beer is
guaranteed to be a pure and healthful
beverage, made from the very best hops
and barley obtainable.

the arrest in San Francisco OF Martin
G. Theilmann, secretary and treasurer
of the Eagle Insurance company, on the
charge of having used the mails in con-
ducting a scheme to defraud. Theil-
mann was recently tried and convicted in
the United States district court, this
city, and was today sentenced to
eighteen months imprisonment and to
pay a fine of $500. His victims num-
Der several thousand, and for the most
part are residents of eastern states and
Canada. The books of the society show
receipts in the last two years OF over
$23 5000, which it was shown was all ap-
propriated by Theilmann, he being the
sole beneficiary. Since his conviction,
the directors have discontinued the
operation of the society, although remit
tances are still being received and held
back by the postal authorities.
