Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efiicacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, of rs Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, etc., never have q tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon tho outicle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface Of the
skin. 1t Is to the skin what vitaliMng
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately cxhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect Is felt almost Immediately. and 1t
speedily banishes forever from tho skin,
freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness. eruptions, and discolorations Of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Doll will

massacre and the deeds of the
Danites running through the few
erish brains of our people gener-
ally, nearly all of us have believed
hat the Mormon wanted to kill all
who opposed him, and that licen-
cious inclinations and greed were
the predominant desires of his life.
But if these be true, Elders Pratt
and Kerr are endowed with the
latter claus of the Savior's direct
ed mental and psychological
equipments-they are "wise as
serpents." Far too smart for our
editor to grapple with.
But until he discovers that they
are not sincere, he shall remember
the courtesy paid the Louisiana

tied Utah two years ago.

SWEDISH ENIGRANTS.

BY request of Mr.. Howard Cole
Mr.: S. B. Hicks, president of our
Borad of Trade, called a meeting
of his body on Tuesday morning
last. The object of this meeting
was to discuss the advisability of
mading concerted effort to sdcure
andtlocate about fifty or sixty
families of Swedes. who are in
search of Southern homes. They
are now living in Nebraska, but
desire to migrate to more salu-
brious climate.
The meeting was addressed by
Mr.. Swanson, gentleman of that
Nationality from Colorado, who
was here in the interest of the
families spoken of Messrs Sim
gleterr, HI. H. Youree, j. Henry
Shepherd and and P. j. Irrelevant
also spoke.
At the conclusion of these re-
marks a committee of three, con-
sisting of those last named, was
appointed to raise money for the
purpose of showing these families
around when they arrive, as an
excursion has been arranged for
them, so they can make a person
al examination of various places,
before making selection
Judging by the few Sweden fam
lilies we already have in this par
sh, in and around Jewella, The
Progress is heartily in favor of
putting forward strong effort to
locate this colony in our borders.
We have reference to Messrs Jen-
sen, benson, Brown and others,
who are industrious, frugal genlle-
med; splendid citizens and tax
payers: and our parish can we'll
afford t: spend some money inI
shwing a colony like these what
we have to oyer.
Mr.. Howard Cole has done much
for our city and parish already,
but he has never done greater
work than if he is successful in
having thisl class Of people locate
in our paris. If they are like
those already citizens, they will
contribute to our public treasury,
they will add to the moral tsne of
our society.

MORMON ELDERS.

two Mormon Elders. The object
of their visit here was to explain
their faith and creed. Our editor
had quite an extended converse
ton with them, asking POINTED
questions which were graciously
received and answered. In TACT
they rejoined eve want you to ask
us questions" Our church mas
been misunderstood; we will an
swer all questions put to us which
are intended to gather informa-
ton.
AS tothe polygamy, they replied
that the practice had been aban-
doned. That while the church be-
lieves the Bible justified it, still 1t
obeyed the laws of the land, and
now an attemptat it meant excom-
munication.
They stated that the Mormons
believed in God the Father, Son
and Holy Ghost. That their creed
upheld virtne, morality and edu-
cation. That it was great mis-
take that the great membership
was an ignorant people. That
statistics showed that Utah stood
fourth in the percentals OF educa-
ton of population.
They likewise Idenied emphatic
ally that the Mormons were re-
sponsible for the Mountain Mea-
dow massacre. They admitted
that the Mormons knew it was con
templated, and word having been
passed that Brigham Young had
instigated it q runner was sent to
him three hundred and fifty miles
to learn from his own lips if it was
SO. The messenger was instructed
by that great dignitary to ride at
once back and spare no horse
flesh. Command the Mormons, in
the name Of Brigham Young, to
conduct this emigrant train in
safety beyond the borders of Utah.
But the messenger arrived too late,
the terrible butchery had already
taken place.
Our editor enjoyed his talk with
Elders Pratt and Kerr. He found
them intelligent, unassuming gen.
tlemen. They claim to be travel
ing as Christs disciples, without
purse or script. They want to
preach to our people SO as to ex-
plain their doctrine. This is the
country of free speech. Our Fed
eral Constitution guarantees that.
And as long as one does not violate
the laws of our moral sentiment, |
he has right to be heard, and
The Progress believes in giving
Elders Pratt and Kerr q hearing.
We think it will be done. Shreve-
