mo WHEAT SHORTAGE.
America Will Have to Furnish Bread
for Almost All Europe.

The agricultural department at WASH.
ington has issued its monthly review -
the foreign crop situation. Much at.en-
ton is devoted to the grain crop OF NUS ~
STA, especially wheat, on account OF l.s
magnitude as factor in the European
supply. The review says that all accounts
agree in representing the wheat crop as
deficient but as to the extent Of the aen-
cheney much difference of opinion exists.
After quoting many dispatches painting
the crop situation in various provinces IN

soldiers. The young Sioux who attracted
SO much attention in the uniform of Uncle
Sans cavalrymcn at the dedication Of
the Worlds Fair have all been discharged

mand the Indian troops made every effort
to bring the Indians to obey military dis
cipline, but the plan was a failure, and it
was found practically impossible to make
them good soldiers. Hereafter Indians
will be used only as scouts.

POLYGAMY STILL ALIVE.
Mormon Leaders Still Practice Though
They Do Not Preach 1t.

They Do Not Preach 1t.
Rev. Charles II. Bliss, agent Of Salt
Lake College, caused a sensation in Bos-
ton by declaring in lecture that polyg-
amy in Utah was still practiced. "Polyg-
amy is not thing of the past" he said.
Perhaps it is no longer preached in the
tabernacle, but it has not been abandon
ed as doctrine so long as prominent men
in the Mormon church indulge in it. If
polygamy is dead, why do the papers not
declare against it? Why do the leaders
in the Mormon church still practice it!
The priesthood is n power and the mem
bers of the church are often compelled to
ask their permission to enter into any af-
fairs Of the state"
