meetings at the Grant school house.
(nee Bad Lands). The power OF the
sunday school as an evangelistic force
has Deeu demonstrated wonderfully in
these meetings. Not this alone, but
as a force for good citizenship. The
missionary reports that he has never
held meetings anywhere in his work
where better attention or more pefect

Should B. n. Roberts Take His Seat In
Congress?

EDITOR Whereas the re-
organized church of Latter Day Saints
pledged to the doctrine of good NOR
ais and loyalty to civil government,
and believing that governments were
instituted of God for the benefit of
man; that all men are bound to sus-
tain and uphold the respective gov
ernments in which they reside, while
protected in their inherent and in
alienable rights by the laws of such
governments; that the commission of
crime should be punished according
to the nature of the offense by the
laws of that government in which the
offense is committed; and for the
peace and tranquility all men should
step forward and use their ability in
bringing offenders against good laws
to punishment; and furthermore be-
lieving that the teaching and practice
of Polygamy is an act of rebellion
against society, of which b III. Bob
erts, congressman elect from Utah, is
guilty:
We therefore, as members of the
above named Church. located in the
Southern Wisconsin District, do here
by declare our opposition to the seat
ing of said b. III. Roberts in the House
of Representative of the government
of the United States.

THEIR WAGES ARE RAISED


Ten Per Cent.
A bulletin posted In the various general
offices and power stations of the street
railway lines embraced in the Seattle Elee-
trio Company yesterday stated that after
January /, 1900. the wages of the various
employees would be increased 10 per cent.
The circular was signed by General Man
ager George w. Dickinson. 1t was perused
with interest by the employees, and nat
urally many expressions Of qualification
were heard.
General Manager Dickinson, in discuss
ing the increase in the wages of the men.
said yesterday:
I'VE are simply recognizing conditions
as they exist in Seattle. Business over
Electric Company is very good. The out
look is for another yeM Of steady and
material advancement. The men are en-
titled to the raise and we simply gave 1t
to them. That Is all that Is to be said
about it, except" and here the general
manager smiled that you may say that
car fare will not be increased over any of
the lines
Rates of wages paid to motormen and
conductors on the four lines now operated
by the Seattle Electric Company, and
which are affected by the increase, have
varied from Is to 20 cents per hours. The
average scale has been 20 cents per hour.
On the Union Trunk Line some oid EN-
ployes have received q cents per hour.
and certain of the employees OF
the Seattle Traction Company have re-
ceived an equal sum- The mean daily
wages has, however. been based on rate
OF 20 cents per hour.
The roads affected by. the raise in wages
are: Seattle Traction Company, Madison
Street Cable Railway Company, West
street & North End Electric Railway
Company and Union Trunk Line.
The increase in the daily wages OF the
men will amount in the aggregate to sew
eral thousands of dollars ANNUALLY.

as probable candidates for the position.
which becomes vacant January |, DR.. 3.
b. Limerick, according to the gossip of
the politically wise, probably stands the
best show OF securing the prize.
Among the physicians who have taken
an interest In the matter. there has been
well-defined belief during the past few
weeks that DR.. Limerick's name would
be presented to the council by the mayor
DIR. Limerick's friends have claimed that
his appointment IL practically assured
but this has not deferred others from
entering the race, nor has 1t prevented
some Of the profession from going to the
mayor and protesting against his sp-
pointment.
The members OF the board OF health as
at present constituted are: DR.. William
G.. Gibson, president; DIR. George M. New
lands. who succeeded Dr. c. A. Smith
several months ago, and DIR. J. H. Lyons.

but with what effect is not known.
Considerable opposition to the appoint
mcnt of DIR. Limerick has developed in
the King County Medical Society. 1t APP
pears that DIR. Limerick is not a member
of that society. Members of the organiza-
ton, It is said. have gone to the mayor
ard urged the appointment Of one OF
their number The mayor has listened pa
tiently to all these representations, but
no ere has yet heard him say what he
proposed to do in the premises.
This action has called attention to the
fact that doctors often disagree, and that
in the history of the board Of health
there probably never has been a time
when medical men were united In favor
of any one man for position as member
Of the board.
No salary is attached to the office. 1t
is merely an honorary position which in
wolves considerable work and RESPONSE
bility. The fight that has been mada on
DR.. Limerick dates back to his first resi-
dence in this city. 1t is said not all the
members of the medical society are OPP
posed to him.
DIR. Frank Carroll and Dr. r. w.
Schoenle have been mentioned by their
fritnds in connection with the coming re-
tirenlent Of DR.. Newlands from tho board
of health. AS far as known, however,
neither has made an active canvas for
tho position.
