with the old and new testament, but
continues in the book of Mormon and
later in the book Of Doctrine and Cove
nants. compiled from alleged revela-
lions given in the years 1927 and 1874
by Joseph Smith and few Of his
followers.
These alleged revelations supplement
the book of Mormon and are to be
found In the Doctrine and Covenants
OF the Utah church, and what is called
the Recognized Church Of the Latter
Day Saints. which has branch at In
dependence numbering about 1000
members. Part of this book which con-
tains the alleged revelations up to
the year 1894 is also the standard for
the Hedrikite Mormons, whose church
building on the Temple Lot was burn

MANITOBA's CAPACITY.

comments on the report OF the United
Empire trade league on the capacity
OF Canada as a granary for Britain.
The report refers to Manitoba as fol-
lows: Manitoba has an area OF forty
seven millions acres. Deducting ten
million for lakes, rivers. town sites and
waste land, 81 ,O00, 900 acres are left for
farm cultivation, or homes for lie, 600
families on 800 acres each, and as up
TO now there are only q 900 farmers
there altogether, that leaves room in
one province for S9,00S more wheat
growers. Surprising, then, we got
them there and each one OF them out
OF his 800 acres grew on an average
100 acres at 20 bushels to the acre; IL
you figure 1t up you will find it is quite
possible for Manitoba alone to supply
us with all the wheat We require from
abroad 1t is only question Of money
and comparatively speaking not money
either. The cost Of one first-class bat
tleship (about f75o, o00) would put 5000
families onto farms in the Northwest,
allowing fl50 to each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, etc, and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres OF wheat each
ut 20 bushels to the acre, means an ex-
ira 100000 bushels, for II that
| scheme is not liked Britain would put
q duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands Of Manitoba there
are the millions of acres In Assintboia,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.

watermelon Finally after mature de-
liberation, a huge washing boiler was
procured and the melon dumped into it
and boiled for two hours. Then the
entire colony sat down and discussed
the luscious morsel. In about two
hours shrieks or agony were heard pro-
ceeding from the laundry. and when
the neighborss entered they found Sam,
his family and the other Cinnamon
rolling on the floor. emitting Chinese
oaths and ciutching at their stomachs.

William j. Bryan is a. very sick man

White, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Iowa, three miles from. Web
ster, are afraid that Mr.. Bryan may

When Mr.. Bryan awoke this morning
he complained about his throat and
lungs, but said that he had suffered
from a similar ailment once before, and
that it had yielded to treatment.
Great crowds of farmers from all over
Keokuk county called at the White
farm to see Mr.. Bryan during the
morning and afternoon, and although
he tried hard to remain outdoors, his
physical weakness mastered his cour-
age and he had to retire several times
to his room. A local physician who was
called in tonight to treat the invalid
recommended long term of absolute
rest and quiet
Il is understood tonight that steps
will be taken by interested friends to
cancel Mr.. Bryan's engagements, which
included two or three speeches daily
and q tour covering the width of Iowa,
ending at Sioux City Saturday.

CRIME In FROZEN NORTH.
Revenue Cutter Bear Acting as Po-
lice Boat

San Francisco. Oct. S.-The trading
schooner Bonanza arrived today from
Point Barrow and Point Hope. Alaska,
with a cargo of whaIebone. ivory and
furs. She saw the revenue cutter Bear
at Point Barrow and reports that Cap
tain Jarvis had in irons two prisoners.
a white man and a native, both charged
with murder. Both were arrested in
kotzebue Sound. The white man is an
American, a new conner in the district,
who is believed to have murdered an
other miner. The Indian is one of the
chiefs of his tribe, and is charged with
a number of murders of white men for
the purpose of r0bbing them OF their
outfits and supplies. Captain Jarvis OF
the Bear Is making search for a white
man who melted a. native to shoot at
the missionary at st. Lawrence Island.
The captain of the Jessie. who died
near Port Clarence over a year ago, ap-
parently from natural causes. is now
thought to have been murdered, and
some suspicion attaches to a Nor
wegian who now lays claim to the
schooner. and also to- two natives.
Search is being made by the Bear for
the Slayers of two miners near Point
Hope. whose sledge was followed by
natives, who surprised them and killed
them for their supplies.
The Bonanza passed through
Amoukhta Pass. Sept. IL and Is, and
saw two volcanoes which showed signs
of activity. one at ATnGukhta and the
other on YuTaaSkas Island.
