tory class when you come to the study of
the Mormons.
According to the last census there were
1,058 Mormon communicants in Nebraska
1,1O6 in Kansas; 1885 in Wyoming; 1896
in California; 1,54O in Michigan; ,7e2 in
Colorado; 5,S03 in Iowa; $500 Arizona;
1882 in Idaho; and 12s LIS in Utah. Of
all other denominations in the last named
state there are less than 10000. It is the
opinion of some statesmen that Utah will
give US trouble yet. 1t is quite evident that
the Mormons are in the majority.

that the porter would be well paid for his

feel that ne had saved money by getting
