1925 to 219,0O0 in 1894. The product of 1898
was the largest on record, amounting to
229'O0O short tons. The following tables
show by states the domestic products
melted: Colorado. 1900 tons; Idaho. 30. 800

TO PUNISH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Offenders, Mr.. Kennedy Says, Should
BE Prosecuted.

In his sermon at Cavalry Presbyterian
church last night, the pastor, Rev. S. ].
kennedy. preached a sermon on Sabbath
observance, having special reference TO
the question o. the Sunday closing move
ment- He argued for the Sabbath as a
divine institution, and also maintained
Its necessity from a physical standpoint
His peroration was as follows:
He who seeks TO undermine the au-
thority OF the Sabbath and destroy its
hold upon the peopis is an enemy OF
Christianity and a subverter OF the high
est interests OF his feilow-men. And that
community or nation which tramples in
the dust this sacred day. is at gar with
the authority OF God, at war with Chris
tianity, at war with the peace and order
OF society and at war with all true in
diyidual and national prosperity. And
so we ask for the enforcement OF the ex-
listing Sabbath laws In this our fair city.
We have abundant laws fayo-ing the
prosecution Of those who openly break the
day Of rest Shall they be enforced? 1t
is for the Christian people of this citv
TO say. II Is IN their hands, not only 70
see that they are enforced, but that those
officers who are negligent in their en-
forcement shall according To the statue
be not only fined but deposed from their
office. be IL high or low. II is for the
Christian people TO pray and labor until
the Sabbath shall be kept according TO
the law over the length and breadth Of
our city"
