during the time when there was bad
blood between the sheepmen and cattle
men of Cassia county. They had some
words, and Wilson, according to the
affidavit, attacked Bower and was
from his grasp, when Gray, who had
climbed out of the wagon, commenced
shooting. The bodies were not found
until 13 days afterward
Bower explained that he had remain
ed silent because he feared he would
be killed by the sheepmen; further, he
did not think an innocent man would
be convicted. With death lowering over
Davis, he could no longer withhold the
truth. Gray has left the country for
parts unknown, but affidavitS were
presented by several people, who state
Gray told them, even before the bodies
were found, that he done the shoot

held under $4,000 bond, which he has
furnished.
Davis has been defended by the
Sparks -Herrell company, one of the
biggest cattle companies in the United
States, which has extensive interests in
Nevada, California and Idaho. while
the sheepmen have been fighting for
Davis conviction and execution. The
board will act on the case tomorrow.

Ogden, Utah, Oct. 1.-THE final act Of
the Presbyterian synod, which ad-
journed today, after a four days ses-
sion, was the passing of resolutions on
what is known in synodical language as
THE Mormon Question" The resolu-
tions were carefully prepared, a COM
mittee OF three-one from each of the
three states represented - drafting
them, and a full and free interchange of
views was had on the questions raised.
The document was ready to report on
Sunday night, and had been agreed
upon, but as the synod would do no
secular business on the Sabbath, 1t as
sembled early this morning for the sole
purpose of passing the following:
RESOLUTIONS ON POLYGAN1Y.
Whereas, 1t is known to the mem
bers of this synod and to the general
public that pOlygamy, under the guise
of plural or celestial marriage is not
only being taught as a fundamental
doctrine to the young people among the
Latter-day Saints, but is being openly
practiced by the Mormon leaders, in
violation of the constitution and laws
of Utah, and of the most solemn prom
ises made to the people Of these United
States by said leaders; therefore, be it
Resolved, First, that the synod of
Utah, comprising, as it does, the state
of Utah, the larger part of Idaho and
the western portion of Wyoming. ear
nestly urges all people. everywhere in
our country, who favor law, order and
morality, to at once begin the neces-
sary agitation and unite in a memorial
to congress, petitiOning that body to
propose an amendment to the federal
constitution, and submit the same to
the legislatures of the various states,
defining legal marriage as monogamic
and forbidding polygamy, under what
ever guise it may exist, as cohabita-
ton. pOlyandry polygamy and celestial
or plural marriage.
Second, that the synod of Utah here
by appeals to every presbytery in our
church to overture the next general
assembly in harmony with the above"
1t will be observed that the resolu-
tions, unlike those passed by similar
church bodies, not only make charges
of wholesale violations of the law, but
also point out a method of concerted
action for getting the alleged abuses
corrected.
1t was said that the main differences
of opinion in the synod were whether
the document should be issued now or
after election, some taking the view
that it would be classed as a document
for political effect. Another member of
the synod said that conclusive evidence
of every allegation in the resolutions
could be produced. None of the evi-
dence would be made public.

D. m. they started in their. wagon. 1t
was raining when they left town, but
when out about five miles the rain
turned to a binding snowstorm. The
father lost his way and wandered
about among scrub pine and in the
hills all night. The wagon and team
were abandoned and an effort made to
reach home on foot.
AS the night wore on the little fellow
became cold and numb and froze to
death in his fathers arms. The father
managed to keep alive by walking un-
til he could walk no more from numb
ness of limbs. Daylight broke and
Leilin knew he was not far from home.
but was unable to walk. At O'clock
his cries were heard by his wife, who
went to his rescue.
Neighbors were summoned and the
old gentleman was assisted to his home,
but he was so near dead that he could
not give an intelligent account of the
nights wanderings, but the dead body
of the boy told a pitiful story of lack
of sufficient clothing to keep him warm.
He wore knee pants and small coat
but no underwear nor outer coat. His
shoes and stockings were almost COM
pleteiy worn out.

ject was not concluded today, and will
be concluded at the next joint meeting.
following which the Spaniards will
doubtless reply in writing. the conclu-
sion of the subject soon following.
The interchanges regarding Cuba are
now so advanced that the Spaniards
will not fail to understand the United
States determination not to assume
any part of the so-called Cuban debt
of $400, 100000. 1t should not, however,
be understood that the Americans dur
ing the course of the treaty, have been
unmindful of certain local burdens,
like the municipal obligations of the
Cuban cities, railroad and kindred
properties, local and permanent, which
may be provided for.
The commissioners will meet again
on Wednesday next.

MONUMENT TO BLAINE.

Grave Has Been Unmarked, Save For
a Blasted Tree.
Washington Oct 1.-THE grave of the
late Secretary of State James G..
Blaine, which has heretofore been un-
marked save for a dead oak tree, will

Blaine his expressed wish that nothing
should mark his last resting place but
the blasted tree, has been carefully OBJ
served, but as a result of a heavy
wind storm that ruined the tree some
months ago, Mrs. Blaine decided the
grave should receive suitable recogni-
ton, and the monument ordered is now
being inscribed here, preparatory to its
erection at the head of the grave.

ABOUT NICARAGUA CANAL
PRELIMINARY SURVEY WORK is
FINISHED.
Engineers Report the Canal can be
Completed for One Hundred Million
Dollars-Chicago Capital Interested.

Eight government engineers who
| have been engaged ON the preliminary
survey of the Nicaragua canal have
arrived in New York ON the steamer
| Altal of the Atlas line. The prelimi-
nary work was finished before the
party left the field and a vast amount
of data, the results of suryeyings, bor-
ngs and surroundings, has been now
brought back and will be included
in the official reports, which will be
| placed before Congress at its coming
session. The surveys show that the
proposed canal is entirely feasible
and that the cost will be considerably
less than the estimates made by the
| Ludlow commission or the sum nam
| ed by Admiral Walker year ago as
| likely to be needed. The reduction in
cost is due to a change in the loca-
| ton of the Ochoa dam and to other
notifications of the old route.
The Ludlow commission estimated
| the cost of the canal at S133, 100000.
! ADMIRAL Walker named S125,000.000 as
the aggregate cost. The report of the
engineers will place the estimate at
less than $1OO.OOO,OOO.
BY changing the location of the
| dam from Ochoa to a point fourteen
miles lower down the building of the
| San Juan basin and its costly embank-
ment can be avoided and a saving Of
S1O,OO0.OOO made.
Chief Engineer Eben Wheeler and
other members of the returning par
tv say their reports will show that
the canal is q project containing no
Il
quickly and cheaply built. 1t is two
years now since any actual work has
been done on the canal by the compa-
ny of which Warner Miller is the head.
The concession obtained by the COM
pany from the Nicaraguan govern
ment is said to still hold good. The
attempt to build the canal by private
means has been abandoned by Mr..
Miller and his associates and all the
rights in the premises have been Of
fered to the government.
\ syndicate of Chicago capitalists,
headed by f. f. Cragin. has looked ov-
er the ground and it is now said to
be endeavoring to obtain concession
from Nicaragua. Mr.. Cragin and

GET FLESH.
Get Strength, Vigor, Clear Complexion and Good Digestion, Not by Patent Medicine,
 But in Natures Own Way.

Any honest physician will tell you that there IS but one way to get increased flesh; all the patent medicines and cod liver oils to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Nature has but one way to increase flesh. strength and vigor. mind and body and that is through the stomach, by wholesome food, well digested. There is no reason or common sense in other method whatever.
 People are thin, run down, nervous pale, and shaky in the.r nerves simply because the,r stomachs are weak.
 They may not think they have dyspepsia, but the fact remains that they do not eat enough food, or what they eat is not quick ly and properly digested, as it should be.
 Dr. Harlandson says the reason is be- cause the stomach lacks certain digestive acids and peptones and deficient secret on of gastric juice.
 Natures remedy in such cases is to sup ply what the weak stomach lacks There are several good preparations which will do this, but none so readily as Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, which are designed especial ly for all stomach troubles, and which cure all digestive weakness on the common sense plan of furnishing the digestive prin- cples which the stomach lacks.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect digestion. First effect .s to increase the appetite and increased vigor, added flesh, pure blood and strength of nerve and mus cle Is the perfectly natural result.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest tonic known, and will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stom- ach. May be found at druggists at 50 cents for full sized package or direct by mall from Stuart Co.,, Marshall Mich.

RAILROAD MUDDLE
Between Canadian Pacific and Ameri-
 can Lines

London, Octobe 1r3.-At the meeting today of the shareholders of the Grand Trunk railroad of Canada, the president, Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, read the report and gave an account of his visit to Canada. He said he had found 1t impossible to come to an arrangement with the Canadian Pa cific railroad pending a settlement of the rate war between the Canadian Pacific and American lines and he offered to refer the matter to arbitration and there the mattetr rested President Wilson sa he was glad to report that all the Grand Trunks inter ests in connection with the Central Yer mont railroad had been arranged satisfac- toriy which could not yet be published, pending the completion of the legal for malt'es. The outlook, the president said, was good and improving. Vice-President Price spoke of the excellent condition in which he had found the railroad tracks.
 Wn. Baker struck a discordant note by asking a number of questions to wh oh curt answers were gwen. These answers, however, satisfied those present at the meeting which adopted the report almost unanimously.
