is THE PROPHETIC BE HONORED?
Statue of Brigham Young May Be Provided
for the Capitol Building.

Statue OF Brigham Young May BE PROVIDED
for the Capitol Building.
Is the statue of Brigham Young, the
great Mormon prophet, to be erected
among the efigies oft Americas public
men in the capitol building.at Washing
ton?
This question is suggested by pop
ular movement which has recently been
started in Utah, looking toward a suit
able recognition of the prophets life and
labors.
AS warrant for this movement there
is a federal statute which authorizes the
president of the United States to invite
the several commonwealth of the union
to provide and furnish statues in bronze
or marble, not to exceed two in mum
Der from each Commonwealth, of such
distinguished public men who have been
citizens thereof as they may choose to
honor in this way.
Up to the present time several of the
states have availed themselves of the Of
fer made in the foregoing provision
and quite number of effigies
kaye been gathered together in the old
hall of the house of representatives now
known as statuary hall. Before Utah
succeeds, however, in placing a statue of
( the great Mormon prophet among the
(. memorials of our illustrious dead in the
capitol building there is likely be some
interesting Developments.

TWO LITTLE ORPHANS.
Pitiful Objects They Were. On Their Way

Pitiful Objects They We're. On Their Way
to BerrieD.
Two little girls, ages about eight and
ten, reached Valdosta few mornings
ago from Florida, on their way to Ber-
rien county. They had been given trans
portation over the Plant System from
points in the southern part of the state
and when they reached Valdosta they
were without money, clad in the thin
nest sort of clothing and were overcome
by hunder and the lack of sleep.
The little ones were too young to tell
where they were goingor what their
names were, but from what they said a
pitiful story could be woven. The older
one was asleep at the Central hotel,
where they were taken in, and the
younger said that their mother died in
Berrien county about year ago. She
said that her father was killed in the cy'
clone near Fl. White, Fla, and that
since then they have been living with
some poor people near that place.
They remembered hearing their father,
before his death, tell them about people
named Bryant and Williams living near
Nashville and they had set out TO go
there TO live with them.

ruar 28th.
Saturday was the last day OF the hunt
ing season, and il any gay sportsman
is now caught in the act OF shooting
game of any kind he will have to an
swer to the state for the crime.
The fact of the short hunting sea-
son has been published several times,
hut the sportsmen, as a rule, seem to
be unaware of the existence of the
new game law.
February 28th. was the last day of
the hunting season. As the game law
now stands the hunting season is two
months shorter than it previously was.
The month of October was cut off the
the beginning Of the season at one
session of the legislature. At the
next session Of that body the month of
March was Tapped off.
The season lasts only four months
now. The season was cut short to
give game a better chance.

Judge Thompson of West Virginia Dies at,
Huntington.
Judge William 7. Thompson, extreas-
urer of West Virginia, died at Hunting
ton Sunday night.
Judge Thompson was a shrewd demo-
cratic politician, and had frequently
been mentioned for governor of his
state.
One year ago Judge Thompson had a
costly vault erected for his remains,
claiming that he would die in 1897. He
had an inscription put on the vault to-
that effect, and this caused much COM
ment at the time.

Runaway teams seem to have changed
their course Of travel beginning this
week. The usual route has been to
cross the Wisconsin river on the wagon
bridge nc matter whether the horses
started in Grand Rapids or Centralia
and unmindful of how many corners
had to be turned to reach the bridge.
This week we watched two fast runs
fIom our back window. Both teams
started in Grand Rapids and followed
the new fad of going down Main St.
along the river instead of turning at the
Wood Co. Bank corner. No persons
were injured either day, but carriage
and wagon were slightly demolished.
1t is always safest to tie securely
every team when lett to stand on cold
day, or in fact any day. This simple
precaution would prevent many run
