FALSE DISPATCHES AGAIN.


A SALT Lake dispatch 10 the eastern
press prctends to give an account Of
the examination which has been con-
Quoted in this city In regard TO the
legal ownership Of tho Temple lot la
Independence, Jackson County. IL Is
an Associated Press telegram, and the
responsibility for II rests upon the
agent here. The only point In II wecare
10 notice now-though the whole ac-
count 10 terribly mixed M II appears In
the New York papers-is thissontence,
referring to testimony In relation 10 the
practice Of polygatny In Nauvooi
''Isldor John Bates Noble sworc yosior-
day that tho brethren were playing Tor
women and got 'omi' that tho principle
was taught privately"
This statement is n shameful false
hood. Its like many other dispatches
eu,anating from the same source. Mr..
Noble il an aged man, past 81 years
old, who was badgered and browbea,en
and tormented by the "Josephite" al.
legged lawyer, until his head ached 30
that he sometimes could scarcely col
lect his thoughts. hut In this particu.
lar instance he was not answering In
reference to plural marriage. The ir-
ritating cross-exAminer was prying
into his personal history and endeavor-
ing to tAngie him up on doctrine and
practice In tho early years Of the
Church.

testimony In full we have obtained the

the wolf, coyote, wildcat, jack rabbit,

An ELECTRICAL Finger

An electrical finger for surgical uses
has recently l:eca invented. A bulb, at
tached to long probe, is attached to n
finger stall The bulb is double and the
outer skin is flexible. The two layers
are connected with opposite poles of the
battery. and wires connect tho inner
layer with the finger tip. Pressure at
any point closes the tircnit and the cleo
trical current is transmitted to Il CORE

reon has thus Il means of feeling and
