The great wealth, either of the Nor
mon Church or of the individuals at
its head has been again demonstrated
by the recent investment of 100000
coo by the "iirst presidency in anew
corporation called the Utah Company.
This new company is to operate coal
mines, n railroad, bathing beach
and pleasure resort at the great Salt
Lake, and build, equip aud operate
telegraph and telephone lines. This
is purely church scheme, in which
gentiles have no part, and is like the
Zion cooperative company, to be
managed to add to the wealth of the

berry Recover d.


The relentless search which tho officials
Of the Adams Express Company have prose
cuted to apprehend the criminals who held
dp a train at Acquia Creek, Va, on the 18th
nst., and to recover the stolen property, was
rewarded by the finding OF tho pouch in
which the robbers had placed most Of their
booty The pouch was secured through the
Aid Of c. j. Searcey, one OF the robbers, who
was arrested ut Cumberland. Md.
This fact proves conclusively what the ex-
press officials claimed-that Searcey was one
Of those wanted, and the relationship which
has been shown to exist between Secrecy aud

fishes beyond doubt that Morganleld was

The London correspondent of the
Manchester (England) Courier states
that n small number of expert
army officers have been. appointed
to test the capabilities OF some
so.called bullet-proof material that
has recently been brought before the
notice of the war Office. 1t has been
suggested that the material might be
useful for covering valises of soldiers
and for other purposes on the field,
such, for instance, as strengthening
earthworks, forming strong protec-
tion around the hospital tents, or n
covering for water barrels and am.
munition boxes and wagons. The OBJ
ject of the experts will be to endeavoI
TO determine whether this materia
can be utilized in this way. The re.
suit will be awaited with some interest,
for already similar inquiries are being
made on behalf OF the German army.

Materials for a Pound Loaf Cost but Two
Cents
In view of the crusade for cheaper bread
inaugurated In number OF cities, including
Washington. where the price has been rcduc.
ed from 5to cents per loaf as result OF the
crusade. the Agricultural Department has
given out a bulletin on "Thc Cost OF Bread'
taken from the forthcoming report of Profess.
or w. q. Atwater, on the nutritive value of
foods. II says;
In practice luo pounds Of -four will make
from 1873 TO 1877 pounds Of bread, an average
being about 1876 pounds.
Flour, such as Is used 10y bakers, is now
purchased in the Eastern States at not over
Si.00 per barrel This would make the cost
OF the flour put in II pound OF bread about I !,
cents. Allowing cent for the shortening
and salt which is certainly very liberal the
materials for pound of bread would cost
not moro than 2 cents. OF course there
should be added to this the cost Of lbor rent
interest on investment. expense of selling
ETC.. to make the actual cost to the baker.
