HARD BLOW FOR POLICY WRITERS

HARD BLOW FOR POLICY WRITER'S.
The Police Court of Washington has been
trying the case of three policy hackers for the
past week. and on Wednesday, Oct 26, the case
came to an abrupt ending. by the attorneys for
the defendants Withdrawing the former plea of
not guilty and substituting a plea Of guilty,
which was at once done. and the jury were
instructed to bring in verdict in accordance
with the plea. The Assistant District At
torney then told the court that he had been
instructed by the District Attorney to ask the
court to impose fne in tho cases OF King and
Baldwin, and to suspend Jail sentence against
Horbsck. the three men on trial. In accord
auce with this desire of the District Attorney.
Judge Miller fined King and Baldwin S125
each and costs. and suspended the sentence of
six months in Jail against Horback. This was
done because the District Attorney believed
that this would be the best plan to pursue in
tho interest of the public, and that the end of
justice would be better subserved by such
course. Tho Assistant District Attorney then
preferred charges against Detectives Snther-
land and Policeman Greatly Of promoting the
game of policy by guaranteeing police protec-
ton 70 tho policy backcfs. 1t is understood
that Horback has turned informer against
these officers Of the law. and they will be tried
In short time. In tho meantime both officers
have been suspended. and are out on bail.

POLYGAMY ON THE WANE.
The Annual Report of Gov. Thomas, of Utah
Territory.

The Annual Report of Gov. Thomas, of Utah
Territory.
Arthur H. Thomas the Governor of Utah. in
his annual report to the Secretary of the H.
terror, says that polygamy in the Territory is
on the decline In his report of last year the
Governor stated that the Mormons were then
obeying the laws as to polygamy. and he now
says that he knows of nothing which has hap
pened during the year TO lead him to qualify
this opinion.
He says he does not believe that any polyga-
nous marriages have taken place during the
year with the consent o. permission of the Nor
mon leaders, and it is his conviction that there
is sincere intention on the part of the Nor
mon people not to approve or sanction polyga-
nous marriages in the future.
In regard to the admission of Utah a State
the Governor says: " 1t is my opinion, having
due consideration for the wishes and feelings
of all, that between the two great elements of
the population, Mormon aud nom Mormon, the
sympathy of feeling and harmony Of purpose
does not exist which is SO essential to the pros
perity and happiness of the people under State
hood. Yet it would be act unworthy the
justice Of a great Government to turn deaf
ear to the appeal of the who in Utah have
always upheld its authority and obeyed the
laws"

Hill Didn't Have Any Hopes.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Several weeks
ago Senator Hill satisfied himself that
he could not carry off the presidential hon
ors. The current Of opposition was too
strong for him to resist, and his only h1ra
lay in dragging Cleveland down with him.
After Germans refusal to enter the race
Tuesday the senator abandoned even this
hope, and from that moment he became
merely an intelligent observer of the shift
Ing events of the convention city. Wednes
day night he was awaiting the bulletins
when O'Neil of Massachusetts came in and
asked the question: We'll, are we in it?"
Reminded Hirl of IA story.
The senator laughed good naturally.
That reminds me of story" said he
"There was a man down in Arkansas some
years ago who wanted the nomination for
governor. He was rather a popular chap
and the other men who were ambitious of
gubernatorial honors came to him and in
sisted that he ought not to become a can
didate. That's all right said the man.
i can stand it to withdraw, but can the
people of Arkansassstand it p Now" said
the senator, joining in the general laugh
ter, u don't say that this mans position
was an exact parallel of mine, but it's q
good story all the same"

estimated at $4,000 At several of the
principal hotels the engine rooms were

est loser being the Garden Mailing works,

$4,000. Several hundred feet of pavement

Special dispatches from the northwest
show that the storms of the last two days

MED by binding flashes of lightning and
earsplitting peals of thunder. The light
ming struck number of buildings Luck

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superindused
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, the Dis
covery" is an unequaled remedy.
When complicated with Chronic
Nasal Catarrh, its use should be
coupled with the use of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. Of all druggists.
