Perhaps it is no t generally known
that there are two Generals Otis down
in the Philippines. One is a general
in the regular army and the other is
general over the volunteers. We have
noted articles in our exchanges, some
giving General Otis a bad character,

A fellow in the Ceur d'Alene coun-
try is in the tolls. His name is De
Saussure and he was cashier of the
defunct Miners and Stockgrowers'

Some of our exchanges are going
into raptures about a Mormon settle
ment down in Ohio which adopted res
olution condemuing polygamy aud the
seating of B. II. Roberts. 1t is well at

changes that that branch down in
Ohio belongs to the Josephite sect of
the Mormon church. This sect never
endorsed or practiced polygamy, and
is just as much opposed to its practice
