ton that there was absolutely no
evidence.of any deep-seated plot on
the part Of the citizens of Hogans-
Vile to remove Loftin. There
isn't a spark of evidence to show
whether he was shot by a white
man or q negro. At any rate,
there was no conspiracy among
the prominent citizens of the town,
as some Of the papers put it, and
all such reports are unfounded as
pensions On good people. I know
the citizens there, and there isn't
a better community in any state
in the Union. A whole town
should not be made to suffer for
the deed of one miscreant. The
State officers are as ANXIOUS as the
Federal authorities to bring the
guilty party to punishment, and
every means of detection is being
used to that end"
Consul General Lee was in
Washington this week preparing
for his return to Cuba next week.
He had a conference with Nc.
Kinley and several with Assistant
Secretary Day, but did not meet
Secretary Sherman at all. Still
there are persons who object to
the assertion that Mr.. Sherman
has nothing whatever to do with
the relations of the government
with Spain and Cuba, calling it
"prepostereus'' etc. It would be
for a man who has
been in Washington during the
last six months, and kept his eyes
open, to claim to believe that Mr..
Sherman has had anything what
ever to do with either Spanish
Or Cuban matters. The opinion is
prevalent in Washington that Mr..
Sherman will be froze out of the
cabinet before the first of the year.

proposition, which was used -tc
prevent congress taking action at
the last session that would have
brought peace in Cuba long before
now. Having had one cheek
automatically slapped by Spain,
lit now remains totbe seen whether
Mckinley will turn the other
cheek for another slap, or wal
rise to the occasion by promptly
recognizing the Independence of
|Oaba, or even the belligerence Of
the Cubans. Present talk in ad-
administration circles indicates that
the other cheek will be turned to
the Spanianas. The opinion is
growing that congress will have to
compel Mckinley to do the right
thing by Cuba.

have enough troubles Of his own

A DaiSy Spread.

I doubt if there are many things
more worth while than the making and
keeping ones bed chamber neat and
attractive. Expensive furniture and
finishings are not needed. Here is a
white spread for the girl who likes
dainty things without much outlay of
money. This spread is made from
dotted swiss muslin, three breadths are
used, and the dots-some of them
are made to represent daisies. This
idea is not a new one particularly
but it is not often seen in this direc-
ton. These flowers are capable of va
riations: one need not necessarily use
the white daisy as a model, though
this is pretty enough to suit the most
fastidious. Choose a muslin with dots
about the size of a silver three or five
cent piece. Cover this dot with yellow
Roman floss, and then make the petals
in the long loop stitch, known to the
art worker as birds eye stitch.
These stitches are very rapidly made,
and the work is effective and beauti-
full There are white daisies. with yell
low centers. there are ox-eye daisies
with velvety brown hearts and yellow
petals. there is the blue Michaelmas
daisy and the pink English daisy; al
though these latter are usually double,
we see them sometimes single, with
delicate, fine petals.
OF course the spread should har-
monte in color with the other color
decorations used in the room. Pillow
shams may be made in the same way,
and if the spread is finished with a
wide lace frill, and the shams made to
throw across both pillows, and this.
too, finished with a lace frill. few
things more airy and fairy" can be
imagined.
Toilet cushions, dresser scarfs and
commode covers may all be made of
this dainty material, and if finished or
embroidered with wash silks, they will

away the Lords people by his cunning

"Theosophy is another of these de-
/ lusionS, and / wish to lift my voice in
condemnation of it. There is only one
probation, and no man ever returns to
the earth in another corporal form.
Bodies are not given to us to be cast

ordinances. When our wives are sealed

wives. We wish to warn you against
! this false system, for it is a seductive
theory TO many minds. When you have
obeyed the gospel of Christ, you will
come forth on the morning of the first
resurrection and not before.
Il wish to warn you against secret
meetings. When anything must be
done in secret place, you may know
that it is not of God, for he does not
work in the dark. People met in Maui

and held secret meetings. Sidney Rig
don did the same thing, and under
cover ordained men to be kings and
priests. These things are dangerous.
Whenever anything of this delusive ma
ture is propagated it is usually
conceived in dark places and
many of the people go astray
God will reveal all that is nee
essary for our good, and he will not do
it under cover. In the early days of
Utah, a small school of Latter-day
Saints was formed, and they held Sc
cret meetings and received illegal reve-
lation. This was discovered and ex-
ploded by Brigham Young, the prophet
of God These people had arranged for
a new organization of the church and
they were to have great manifestations.
These things make us yield more
strongly to the iron rod the oracles of
God. This is what will lead us into the
celestial kingdom. There is only one
man on earth with authority to lead
you into the celestial kingdom, and
that man is Milford Woodruff.
PRESIDENT WOODRUFF.
President Woodruff spoke briefly in a
similar strain. Referring to theosophy,
he said it was a false light which
should be left alone by the Latter-day
Saints. Men have only one tabernacle,
he continued, and they will never have
another.
1t was announced that President
Cannon would lecture tonight at the
tabernacle under the auspices of the

after the benediction the conference
was adjourned for six months

A Pioneer Now Residing in Iowa
Heard From

Amos Cox, aged 76, and residing in
Shenandoah, Page county, Iowa, has for
warded to Chairman Clawson "a Pioneer
blank which he has filled out, and on
which he has recorded some interesting
incidents. He writes:

Grant Y. Bullock of Coalville has suit

coNsTABLEs AND JUSTICES.
Can Legally Act Although They
Have Not Received Commissions.

Attorney General Bishop yesterday.
in response to request from County
Attorney Melville of Willard county,
rendered an opinion stating that con-
stables and justices of the peace can
act legally though they have not re-
ceived their commissions. The attor-
ney generals reply in full is as fol-
lows:
Il am in receipt of your favor of
March 30 in which you ask to be adj
vised whether justices of the peace and
constables who have not as yet re-
ceived their commissions have a right
to act as such, and would their acts
be legal?
Replying thereto. permit me to say
that the matter of commissions would
not affect their legal status as Off
GERS. Under the law they would be
authorized to discharge the duties of
their Office, even though they had no
commissions"

COLLARS AND CUFFS.
Novelties in the Way of Neckwear
Seen in the Shops This Spring.

Seen in the Shops This Spring.
The wearer of the ever popular shirt
waist has an unusually large number
of becoming collars and cuffs to choose
from this season. The straight stand
ing throat band. which came in just at
the close of the past season is one of
the most popular shapes. The cuffs
that match should be fastened with the
regulation button, not links. nor those
of the dumbbell order. The next. collar
in popularity and somewhat newer and
more generally becoming is called the
two-inch turnover. 1t consists of a
high standing portion with two turn
over sections having square sections
opened both back and front.
This is to be worn with one of the
many fashionable stocks or with the
most fashionable of all craVatS at
present, the new windsor tie. This
cravat is straight, not bias as was
the windsor of times past. 1t is about
three inches wide and two yards long.
1t is carried around this collar from
the front TO the back. where it is
crossed, then brought to the front
again and tied in a wide opened bow
The effect is not as stiff as the stock.
Other neck bands to be worn with this
new cravat are those that flare around
the throat. The most novel one, when
is suited only TO faces DOlu pretty anu
fresh, is the Portia. This consists of a
band of medium height, closed in front
with two studs and has an outstanding
portion of three decided points The
cuffs to match are similar in shape, but
instead of flaring lie neatly against the
outside of the sleeve.
The collar adapted for smaller ties
or those made up in stiff bows, have
in many instances turnover hem
stitched points. An admirable example
has two double points in front, while
others have as many as eight or ten
put on all round the neck band and
falling just the least bit below its
lower edge. The new high turnover
collar, which should always be worn
with a stiff bow, opens in the back as
well as the front This is an improve
ment on the old style in convenience
at least. since il is much easier to slip
the tie in place.
Collars suitable for shirtwaists of
silk. which by the way, to be strictly
up-to-date, must have high crushed
bands at the neck. are dainty little
strips of muslin or fine linen, hem
stitched and edged with delicate ruffies |
of lace. The cuffs are to match and |
the sets are to be had not only in
white, but in cardinal, navy blue, black |
and all the delicate tints.
