Prosperity's Endless Chain.

Consumption is the result Of ability
to purchase, and the ability to purchase
depends in n great measure upon
wages. Hence increased wages make
the producer not only a producer but
u consumer. That is why advanced
wages are not only ar evidence of good
times, but n factor also in making
them.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Salt Mines Worked since 1910.

4-&O
The salt mines of Wieliezka, near
Cracow, Poland, were mentioned in
1044, and have been worked since
1910. The first map Of the mines was
made in 1898 by Martin German, q
Swedish mine surveyor. The eight
shafts now in existence are from 2O7
to 9S5 feet deep. and the length of the
levels now open is 345.O 600 feet, with
115.5OO feet of underground tram lines.
Between 1772 and 1892 about three
million cubic yards have been exca-
waited for the extraction of salt. Ma
chine drills are now used and COM
pressed powder is employed in blast
ing; about 1,1S7 pounds of powder are
used per ton of salt produced. The
present levels are seven and one-quar-
ter feet high by six and one-quarter
seet wide.

Especial Salt Lake City letter.
The increase of Mormons in the
United States, and the consequent
growing power of the church, will, at
no distant time, prove a serious men
ace to our social and political in
stitutions, unless the anaconda is
checked in it's poisonous growth.
It may be necessary to again use
military force to quell these rebel
lious people, as was done soon after
they settled in Utah and had attempt
ed to set up an independent govern
ment. Their recent election OF po-
lygamist to represent them in con-
gress shows that the church and state
have not been divorced, as they claim.
and that polygamy is still live is
sue. Those who understand the Nor
mon character for deception are not
misled by this statement that ''polyg-
amy has been abandoned" Mormons
are told by their priests to misrepre-
sent facts, and even to swear falsely,
if necessary for the interests of their
church, or of any individual member.
This subterfuge was resorted to in or
der to gain statehood, and now the
same deception is used to get their
church agents admitted into congress.
Having control of the state govern
ment, it is more difficult to convict a
polygamist than under the territorial
federal court system, and the Gentle
minority in Utah did not understand
the Mormon scheme" until after the
admission of the territory. The church
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1899-05-25

leaders will use, and are using, the
same diplomacy, or rather false state
ments, in sending polygamists to con-
gress. The Mormon policy is one OF
a close union of church and state, with
the church as the supreme power. This
has been the history of the church in
all of it's earlier settlements-Ohior
Missouri, Illinois, Utah and California.
Had it not been for the fortunate dis
covery of gold, and consequent over
whelming immigration, California
would perhaps to-day be a Mormon
state. A shipload had arrived from
New York, and a colony was planted
in San Francisco, and they practical
ly controlled the town. Another col
ony at San Bernardino was striving for
the control of the southern part of the
state.
The same colonization scheme for
power is now being carried out in Arizo-
ma, and to a lesser extent in New Mexico.
The same policy was adopted in the ter
ritories adjoining Utah before their ad-
mission as states, and in the fledgeling
state of Idaho the Mormons may soon
have the balance of power. Their num-
bers are largely increasing in Arizona,
Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
That this rapid growth of theocratic
power will ultimately prove source of
trouble to this free government is more
than probable, and it's nearness can be
estimated by the large number Of ig-
norant and superstitious immigrants
brought to these shores by the prose-
lyting agents of that church. 1t does
not matter whether, or not these immi-
grants become polygamists upon their
arrival. The fact that they have taken
an oath of loyalty to the church, and its
constituted authorities, issufficient. It
is an unusual thing for a religious or
der to require an oath from its mem
bers, but the Mormon theocracy does
this, and part of that oath is treason to
the United States government. Apos-
tates, who have become disgusted at the
hypocrisy and oppression of the church
of the so-called 'Latter-Day Saints, =
uniformly state that the initiation oath
is one of the most revolving nature.
The new convert swears eternal en-
nifty to the United States government" !"
to ''obey counsel without questioning
authority" and to never reveal the
secret rites of the church." For violat-
ing this oath he agrees to forfeit his
fife, by having his throat cut, in token
of which he draws his right hand across
his throat, as the oath is read to him.
That this is true is evidenced by the
similarity of the statements Of many
apostates. The mysterious" death 81

A POWERFUL SHELL.
Demonstration at Sandy
Hook Gave the Utmost
Satisfaction.

New York, Aug. 23.-At the Sandy
Hook proving grounds today an expert
ment was made with a dynamite shell,
which tended to prove that if it had
struck a battleship the latter would
have been sunk Willard S. Isham is
the inventor of the projectile.
The shell, made from about 900 pounds
of cast steel, and carrying a bursting
charge of 1924 pounds of explosive gel
atine, was fired from an ordinary Il
inch rifle, mounted on an improvised
carriage behind shield. The charge
used for firing was composed of COM
mon brown prismatic powder.
About 200 feet in front of the gun a
piece of Harveyized steel, IL inches
thick and specially treated, was placed
at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of
fire. Behind it was a thick backing CO
oak, and behind the oak was small
mountain of sand, the whole calculated
to be stronger than a battleships side.
The shell struck and exploded with a
blown clear up the oak backing and
angle to the line the shot had followed
Part of the oak backing and the sand
behind it were also blown away. Only
about four pounds of steel framents of
the shell were found.
The most destructive explosive
known was used in the shell. 1t was
composed of So per cent of nitro
glycerine, s per cent of guncotton as
an absorbent and per cent of cam
phor. 1t is estimated to be % per cent
more powerful than No. 1 dynamite.

Labori Has Forced the Conspirators to

London, Aug. 29.-The special CORE

though yesterdays sitting of the court
martial was mopotonous, it was alto
gether a good day for Dreyfus, who, as
the correspondent of the Daily News
says, sis taking a passionate and quite
impersonal interest in his own case, and
has, in fact, become a Dreyfusite."
The proceedings, though much less
exciting than on the previous day, were
still dominated by the. strong PERSONAL
ity of Maitre Labori. People are be-
of Gambetta's career and are asking
whether Labori will go as far.
me most important point in the pro-
ceedlngS, perhaps, was the disposal of
Gen. Gonse, who practically had to con-
TESS that the general staff had shielded
Esterha2y. Thus MERCER and Gonse
are both practically shelved, and the
general staff is beginning to show signs
of wavering.
Another good sign was when a point
OF law arose on a. certain matter and
Col Jouaust the president of the court
martial, replied: Il am not up in law.

This was in reply to Labori's request
Tor certain information concerning the
character of a witness, to be furnished
by the public prosecutor, and it seemed
TO indicate desire on the part of the
judges honesty to seek the truth.
Inc correspondent of the Times says:
