Attention is directed to the local adj
vertisement in this issue of an upright
piano for sale. The instrument is a
good one, in frst-class condition and
will be sold very cheap. Any person
wanting piano now has an oppor-
tunity for rare bargain.
The headquarters. band and staff,
and the six companies of the Eleventh
infantry, now stationed at Forts Apache
and Whipple Barracks, Ariz., have
been assigned to Jefferson Barracks,
Mo-, for station. The movement is to
take effect at once. The other two
companies of the regiment are now
stationed at Little Rock, Ark. This
will bring the regiment closer together
and give jefferson Barracks six troops
of cavalry and six companies of in
fantry. Three troops of cavalry will
come from the Barracks to the rife
range here the 18th of next month,
unless on account of the trouble with
Spain the troops should in the mean
time be ordered to the coast. The
orders now are, however, for the
troops to come here April 10Th, and
arrangements dIS e-lLScdS uhOOA way
for the trip.
Judge Emerson transmits us the fol-
lowing, requesting US to 'look the
matter up" The note was addressed
to him, and dated at Arcadia: "Will
you in the next issue of the IRON
COUNTY REGISTER please advise the
voters of Iron county what constitutes
n cahnol Hic+pinf alnn-
ton? Can a man that only pays poll
tax vote to increase the tax over forty
cents on the one hundred dollars? Can
a man who is not a free holder be a
school director?" A taxpayer in the
meaning of the law is one who pays a
tax on real or personal property, or on
both, and unless he is assessed with
and pays such tax he cannot vote to
increase the tax levy. But on other
questions he is entitled to vote. The
only limit to his franchise is on the
question of increasing taxation. The
law says only those can serve as direc-
tors ''who are citizens of the United
States, resident taxpayers, and who
shall have paid State and county tax
within one year next preceding their
election or appointment.
The Comforter is a paper devoted to
Sanctifcation and Faith Curing. 1t is
published at ST. Louis, and some kind
friend there has sent US copy. We
read it with considerable interest, es-
pecially the testimonial department.
where we find a communication from
a former sojourner in the Valley. We
here reproduce it: IL feel deeply i'm
pressed that I should give my exper-
fence, in part, at least, on divine
healing. When sick, go to God to
be cured, and He never fails to cure,
no more than he would fail if the sim
ner came to him for pardon. l have
been healed by God a great many
times, for which [ give God the glory.
Some years ago, when in Chicago,
runaway team struck me and dislocat-
ed my right shoulder, and within six
days the wound mortified. With my
left hand | turned the pages of the
New Testament, and | then prayed
earnestly with all my power, and as
read James 5:13-14, | called and Bro.
Martin prayed, and God healed me in
stantly. The next day l went to
general testimony meeting, and there
was a blind woman there, and as /
testified how God had healed me, she
received the faith once delivered to
the saints She made the call, and
we prayed in secret that God would
show us what to do. and we were direct
ed to Gods word for instruction. We
prayed for the healing of the sisters
eyes. God heard and answered our
prayers, and the sisters sight restored.
