LITIGATION AmoVo MoRmoNs.
The Suit over the Title to Property In
 Independence Taken Up.


 KANx4s CITY, Feb he long de- layei eauity suit of the reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Letter Day Saints aeainst the Clurch If pnrist Of Independence to determine the title to the famous Mormon temple lot in In dependence was taken np for trlal ln the United States court.
 The suit Is a contest between two factions of the Mormon church to de terrnine the ownership of piece of ground in the city If Independence. on which the Mermons expect to erect. some day, d temple which shall be the mos magnificent ever rearsi by the hands of man. and from which on the last day of the world. 1t is believed, all good and faithful followers of Joseph smith vii ascend direct rn heaven.
 It is claimed that i'll lS32 an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph Smith and informed him that Jackson county, Mis- souri, was the exact location of the Garden of Eden. The spot where the Lord was said to have appeared to Adam and Eve is identical with the To- cation of the temple lot and there the prophet determined to erect temple. The property is regarded by the con tending factions of the church as more precious than all the fabled wealth of the world
 Four years ago the reorganized church brought suit to dispossess the Independence branch of that much prized property, and, although the costs of litigation to both sides have far exceeded the actual value of the property, they are determined to fight on for it's possession through the courts of last resort.

4 YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
ANINTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to q mothers affection as her daughter just budding into womanhood. Following is an instance: our daughter Blanche now Is years of age, had been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and had lost the entire use of her right arm. She was in such condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her music les, sons In fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible aftiietien. We had employed physicians but she received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Eervine she now weighs 106 pounds her nervousness and symp- toms of St. Vitus dance are entirely gone, she attends school regularly, and studies with com fort and ease. She has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite is splendid and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles Nervine has brought her.
 When my brother recommended the remedy had no faith in patent medicines, and would not listen to him, but as last resort he sent us bottle, we began giving It to Blanche, and the effect was almost immediate. Mrs. R. R. Bullock, Brighton, N. Y.
 Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine is sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct by the Dr. Miles Medical Co, Elkhart, Ind, on receipt of price, S1 per bottle six bottles fer S5 express prepaid. It is positively free from opfates or dangerous drugs.

TIE repeal of the Federal election law removes one of the most odious laws passed during the reeonstrue- tion period. Of course. it's repeal was gall and wormwood to Senators Lodge, Chandler and others of that ilk, whose occupation is now gone. ' But it is great reform and a direct blow to the Republican party, who will find it more difficult to control elections in certain localities with out the aid of Federal supervisors and U. $. Deputy Marshals. If the Democratic party does nothing else, it has well paid the country for it's election.

Feb. 9.-The court of appeals has denied the motion for d new trial in the case of 'sDink" Wilson, convicted of the murder of Detective Harvey and he will be brought here from Auburn prison and resentenced.

mittee Appointed to Examine the

Washington, Aug 17.-The necessity
of immediate and thorough organiza-
tion to push bimetallism to the front.
was discussed at special conference
Of the American Bimetallic league
which convened here to-day. Thirty
or forty members Of the league from
various states were present. Gen. A,
]. Warner, president of the league,
acted as chairman, and among those
present were Senator Stewart of Me-
yada, congressman, Pence and Bell of
Colorado, Judge Shelton of Connecticut
and c. S. Thomas Of Colorado.
The conference opened with long
talk on difficulties in the Way of Re-
storing Bimetallism" by Senator Stew
art. Gen. Warner stated the, objects
of the meeting. Congress, he assumed,
had now completed Its work, many of
the state conventions had been held
and platforms adopted by both parties,
in many of the Western states, and
have included both the single gold
standard and the bimetallic standard.
The tariff bill also had been disposed
of. 1t is time, he said, to push the
silver question to the front and sub
ordinate all other issues to that issue
from now on. He urged organization
for action in the various states instead
of mere talk
G. s. Thomas, who represents Colo
rado urged unity Of action and adj
herence to some definite plan to ad-
vance the bimetallic principles. Judge
Shelton also spoke. The afternoon ses-
sion was devoted to a discussion of the
coinage laws. A number of speeches
were made bearing on the claim that
legal authority to coin silver exists. The
speeches were based on the assertion
that the repeal Of the Sherman act does
not repeal the clauses in the Bland
Allison act revising the coinage act of
1887. The following committee was
appointed to examine the coinage laws
and report to the league: c. s. Thom-
as, Colorado; Alex Fulton, Delaware;
J. A. Gallagher, Ohio; John Shelton,
Connecticut, and Hon. Isaac Sharp,
