DUE TO POLITICS.
Mormons Explain Their Trouble In
the South

London, Aug 1O.-At the Mormon
headquarters here the Mormon troubles
in the southern part of the United
States are partly ascribed to their re
cent successes, but chiefly to their po-
litical opponents, who wish to see Utah
reduced again to the position of terri
tory
Elder Anderson claims wonderful sue
cesses lately in the southern states. He
says:
Over a hundred branches were
founded in 1898. The outbreak is dis
tinctly political They do not attack
our doctrines and can not dispute the
good we do. We have established
branches in places where hitherto there
has been neither church nor chapel
There is a. widespread anti-Mormon or
ganization. We rarely prosecute dis
turbers. Justice is justice and we like
to get it, but our instructions from
Salt Lake are to avoid prosecution
wherever possible. Even when the po
lice chief of Lincoln advised prosecu-
ton we declined"

continually falling, night and day
Two of the party with ice axes and
alpine ropes made an attempt to explore

rockfan they traversed the glaciers sur
rounding the great rock pyramid Of the
summit. reaching an altitude of ten thous-
and feet During the descent the leader
Mr. Bryant, slipped and fell, drawing his
companion with him but by Skilful man
oeuvers he managed to reach rock pro

saved themselves from terrible and
fatal fan. They failed to reach the sum-
nit.

REGULATE HACKMEN.
viii Be Warned to Keep Within the
Ordinances.

Many complaints have been made about
hacks and express wagons standing on the
streets and the police department will
call the attention of hack and express
drivers to the ordinance regulating them.
The ordinance provides that hacks shall
stand only in certain places where the
owners of the buildings do not object anu
that the hacks shall be at least 50 feet
apart. Hacks are in the habit of standing
in a line close together. Express wagons
are to stand on the side streets parallel
with the street so feet apart. Instead they
back up to the sidewalk and stand close
together. These express and hack stands
become filthy and bad doors arise from
the cutters in front of business houses.

Two Islands OF Cuba

New York, Aug. 1O.-An American syn

isIets, La Cruza and La Ramon, off the
coast of Cuba. General A. G. Greenwood,
who was on the staff of General Robert

capitalists. He has just returned from
Cuba and in an interview today said:
I'VE believe we have a bonanza in La
Cruza and La Ramon. We are satisfied
that there are immense quantities of iron
ore here, but we also have reason to be-
leve that there are hidden there the
vast treasures taken from Pana when
that city was the richest in the Americas.
Our titles are being perfected and just as
soon as this is accomplished I am of the
impression that something will be done
that will arouse World-Wide interest"

KNEISLER APPEALS.
Agent of Boycotted Beer Is Fined
$780,

Robert Kneisler was tried in police
court Wednesday afternoon for selling
liquor.
The evidence against him was strong.
Judge Guy fined him $500 and he appealed
the case to the district court. Afterwards
he said that he would have been willing
to have paid a fine of $500, but $500 was too
much. Kneisler sells Val Blatz beer. The
jointists who appeal their cases to the
district court stand good chance to win
for the cases do not come to trial for
long time in many cases and when they
do come to trial many of the witnesses
have gone.

AS to the climate, well, the winter of

Dawson City a very pleasant one; 1.-THE

Oldest Yukon pioneer" That is the
old story. We had two cold spells OF
about two weeks each, during which
the thermometer touched lfty.seven

time from twenty-five to forty below
zero, but in the absence of wind it was
no worse than like weather in the
Northwest states, ever at a higher
temperature, and l have seen more
severe winters in Dakota and Mime

only about one hundred miles distant,
