Notwithstanding tha encour- aging general results secured during the summer, there are many details Of the science Of raising sugar beets yet Ito be worked out. The experimental plats are scattered in different parts or the valley and require one mans attention all the time, as planting of the bests will be carried cn through the winter season and their growth and characteristics in cold weather noted as closely as in the hot weather. MT. Arrey will be giy51 general direc- ten, but will keep his own records and attend to all the detail work. He will have his headquarters at the ex- peTimental farm.
 X. P McKern, who lives near the station, will have charge of the expert ments to be made with green manUrin g plants and with various kinds Of fod- der. Green maturing plants, it may be explained, are the various kinds of pea plant, such as red clover, alfalfa, etc, which, when plowed under, enrich the soil. IT. the experiments with fcd der, sorghum, KafIir corn and other varieties will be raised and their value carefully noted. Fer this purpose, a silo will be built and the possibilities Of preserving ensilage made from them in season will be determined.

SNOW ON POLYGAMY.
He Believes in Plural Marriage, But
 Thinks the Law Should Be Obeyed.


 Salt Lake-Lorenzo Snow, the new president of the Mormon church, who succeeded the late Milford Woodruff, has issued the following statement:
 T believe in the revelation given to Joseph Smith, the prophet, On celestial narriage-that is. marriage for eternity-and that under certain con ditions Latter Day Saints would be do- ing no moral or religious wrong in practicing plural marriage under Gi- vine sanction and religious regulations. But l do not think it would be right to break the laws of the land against that practice. Polygamy-that is, mar rying plural wives-eeased among the Latter Day Saints On the issuance Of President Woodruff's manifesto Oc- tober 6, 1890, and his inhibition will not be changed by me.
 'Polygamy does net exist in Utah, either secretly or openly. It is forbid den by the church There have been TO polygamous marriages to my knowl- edge since the issuance of the mani- festo against them There are men who married plural wives previous to that time who now care for them and regard them sacrediy as their wives for all eternity, being married to them with that contract. They have respect for the law, yet consider it their duty to provide for them and for their chil- dren. But polygamy. which has dei- nite signifcatiol in law, has ceased

..MINING SUPPLIES.
PERSISTS IN A SILLY LIE.
The San Francisco Posts Unknown
 Sensational Informant.

San Francisco, Sept. H.-The Evening Post reiterates it's former stories regard ing the supplying of arms to the FiEpinos by the German government, and is pcs-- tive that it's authority is absolutely cor rect. The Post published an interview with him today in which he says that he is in a position to tell the full story, for the reason that he is financially int terest- ed in the plot and has actually been a party to the scheme.
 He says that he is interested in the German-Philippine trade to the extent Of nearly S1, 00o, eco. and that for fifteen years Germany has been working among the insurgents for her own benefit, and he also told the Post that there never would have been a revolution had it not been for the German government.
 Continuing, he said: ''The arms that have been supplied came from the im- peria1 government, and were furnished through trading cornpan nies n which I am interested, so as to conceal the German hand. Americas safety lies in disarm- ing the insurgents as a move toward the restoration of peace

THE JEWISH RACE.
Editor Republican, Sir:

Editor Republican, Sir:
 Few people have little conception of what Judaism really Is. Some think that because the Hebrews do not go to church or have place of worship of their own here, that they are an ire 1igious body. This is erroneous, The Jews of today are neither more ncr less than the children of Israel Of thou sands Of years ago. Other nations have disappeared from the globe, l3av- ing no trace of their existence, while the Jews hare withatOod all the per seoutions and intolerance waged against them from generation to gen. eration and today stand in the eyes Of the world as enc Of the greatest living people. The prosecutions were caused by ignorance and jealousy. for the Jews were always an crterpTising and industrious people, and because they have always adhered to their principle es to their religious belief, were re- garded as strangers by other nations Now would they net be better eff if they, like otEer peoples, ignored their principle Of religious belief and en- braced other religions? This would put immediately 2 stop to all their troubles and they would be recognized at onca as brothers and sisters, but such they cannot do, for they believe in the only God of Israel and carry their religion at heart The prospect of Judaism today is very bright indeed, for with the dawn Of civilization and enlightenment the Jews are gaining ground and other nations will in time restore them to their entitled rights as England and the United States have
 
 Spain is nothing more than another gain for Judaism. Therefore, the Jews hope for the day when the principles Of the stars and stripes will be recog- nized by every nation of the world, as in it lies their hope of success.

MUSTER 'EM OUT.
General Miles Hopes to Dispose of
 5000 More Volunteers.

Washington, Sept. 2Z.-GeneraI Miles. though he himself broke into the regular army through the volunteer service, does not appear to have much love for the present volunteers. He said today:
 I've have 50,O00 more volunteers in the service than are needed We shall mus ter out such regiments now in camp in this country as are demoralized by home sickness.
 Secondly, we will weed cut of the reg iments all the married men and all the men who are actually required at home
 Third, we intend to dispense with the services of all soldiers who are physically incapable of standing the hardship Of garrison duty where conditions are unfa- voTable to health And, last Of all, we shall discharge as rapidly as possible the class of men injurious to the morals of the service.
 '.If congress responds to the pToposi- tion to increase the regular army to the maximum strength of 190,000 men, there will be further mastering out of volun- teer troops, just fast the regular army can be recruited up to ful strength We hope to recruit the regular army

THE GENERAL COMMANDING. 5

Washington, Sept. 27.-There is TO probability that the office of commenting general of the army will be abolished by congress as long as Miles holds the Do- sftion. Congress alone has the power to abolish it. The president has the power to give it to whenever he chooses amo- g the major generals in the arTly- There is no question that he could Gepose Gen eraI Niles if he should see fit. Ii is the law of precedent, however. that the sen for officer of the army shall be given the office. and it is not believed that the president would care to break this rule. even to please his friends in the war de pSTtment.

entirely in this state, so far as Latter Day Saints are concerned It will not be expected by any reasonable persons that the plural family relations exist ing when polygamous marriages ceased by action of law and the inhibition of the church would be at once abolished.
 The understanding among all par ties was that the rigid enforcement of proceedings against such parties would be discontinued, and that men in the condition described should not be mo- tested in the proper protection of their families or in providing for their needs. The stories that circulated concerning social conditions in this state are eith- CT entirely untrue Or grossly exagger- ated. It must be clear to refiectirg minds that polygamous marriages be- ing no longer solemnized the condi- tiors growing out of those contracted in the past must soon come to an end.' New York World.

FIRED REVOLVER IN SCHOOL.
Boy at Emerson school Didn't Know 1t
Was Loaded.

A little accidental shooting occurred
in Miss Giles's room at the Emerson
school yesterday morning before the
school was called to order for the morn
ing exercises, A boy, who is one ofsthe
best behaved and most stunious boys in
the room, was handling toy revolver of
80 calibre. which had been handed him
by one of the other boys. Not kno wing
that the weapon was loaded the boy
pointed it down the aisle and pulled the
trigger. There happened to Dc Diank
cartridge in the chamber of the revolver
and the explosion which occurred when
the hammer came in contact with II
greatly frightened the children
and Miss Giles. the teacher The
ward in the cartridge few down the
aisle and struck another boy under the
chin and inflicted slight wound. The
boy was more frightened than hurt and
both the vicuim and the boy who unwit-
tingly caused the accident were present
at the afternoon session of the school.
Miss Adams, the principal of the school,
Assem- bled the school and explained.to tho
frightened children what had occurred and
how the accident happened. The frightened
lad who CAUSED the accident Yves repri-
manded for having revolver at school
with him, but Miss Adams decided that
as the boy had always been enc OF the
best behaved pupils in the school she
would not punish him very severely for his
carelessness. Miss. Adams also cautioned
the boys against bringing to school with
them or carrying about the streets dan
gerous weapons and the lesson thellads OF
the Emerson school have learned from
this accident will undoubtedly prevent q
recurrence of this sort of thing in this
institution.
