Something for Nothing.

We have heard of the boy who
wanted to eat his cake and keep it,
too, but never before of a business
man who sold his goods and then
lave the purchaser credit for the
amount paid. To learn about this
send to James Vicks Sons, of
Rochester, n. Y, who agree to do
this in their Guide. The Golden
Wedding edition of Vick's Garden
and Floral Guide is certainly an
artistic work, with its twenty-four
pages Autographed in colors, and
nearly one hundred more pages
filled with handsome half-tone il
lustrations photographed from
flowers, fruits, vegetables and
homes.
While this Guide is really too
expensive to give away, they will
give it with due bill for % ents
worth of seeds for only 10 cents.
Another new feature is the doing
away with the old packet of vege.
table seeds and stating the guam
tity in each case, the buyer getting
more for his money.

Fourth If Mr.. Roberts is seat
ed, it will be taken by Mormonism
as a great victory over congress,
that Mormon political methods
and social scandal are safe from
national interference, and as a re-
cognition of the power and in some
measure of the rightfulness of the
'polygamic theocracy;' all of which
should be the farthest possible
from the purpose and action of the
congress of the United States.
Fifth If a man guilty of such
crime shall be seated it will be an
everlasting disgrace to congress
and to the nation.

AGAINST BRIdHArI ROBERTS

was recently adopted by the Union
Ministers meeting at Cleveland,
and also by the State Presbytery.
These bodies urge that churches,
lodges and other organizations
adopt the same and forward it to
the next congress:
Whereas, Brigham II. Roberts
has been elected as representive to
your honorable body from the state
of Utah;
Therefore, We most earn
estly petition that he be refused
recognition by your honorable
body as such representative, for the
following reasons;
First. He is at once high
member in and an instrument
of the Mormon Priesthood, :"
an organization professedly
religious, but actually controlling
the politics of Utah to such an ex-
tent that free and fair vote is i'm
possible while it continues to exer-
else its powe. See the history of
Mormonism from the beginning,
and especially of the Thatcher mat
ter in Utah in 1896 and of the cleo
ton of 1897; Pratt's "Kingdom of
God the key to Theology"
Rocky Mountain Saints" p. 701,
702, etc.
Second He is self-confessed
polygamist, now living with two
or more females besides his lawful
wife, and these have recently borne
him several children. BY common
report he has taken one or more
of these females as polygamous
wife" quite lately. (See articles
in Salt Lake Tribune, Herald, etc,
including his speeches in the cam
paign just closed, October and
November, lS9S)
Third. 1t is almost beyond
doubt that he is sent to congress
as an overt act of covenant break
ing and defiance against the United
States by the Mormon leaders.
Utah was admitted to the Union ON
n solemn covenant for the aband-
onment of both polygamy and in
reference by the priesthood in
civil affairs But both these evils
h I'VE flourished since statehood put
politics and law in Mormon hands,
as never before since the Edmunds
Tucker law was enforced; neither
of them has ever ceased, and the
opposite of cessation was evident
ly the purpose in all the decades
of the struggle for statehood. Mr..
Roberts is the exponent of this
element, was elected on this issue
and will represent it if seated; and
the facts go to show the priest
hood" in secured his election. 1T
is time that the most stinging re-
buke possible was administered to
this reasonable, immoral oligar-
chy, which threatens state, church
and home at once under the guise
of religion. (See campaign liter

Fatal Railroad Accident.

A freight train was wrecked on
the Bear creek grade near Kendrick
last night and four meu were killed.
The braks would not hold the heavy
train, which consisted of nineteen
cars loaded with railroad steel, on
the steep grade. The new snow
made the track a veritable toboggan
chute.
The runaway train went at
terrific speed for five miles, when the
cars jumped the track in curve.
The men generally stood at their
posts. The speed increased gradau-
lily so that the real danger was not
apparent till to jump was sure death
Brakeman Bulge made the Jump
for life, but he received fatal inju-
ries from the momentum in the fall.
The train was a double, header.

and Brakeman Bradshaw, were
buried in the wreckaee and killed
Instantly.

they were riding and stepping it by

A CHINAMAN'S FATE.
Declared Dead by Society, He Was Ia
booed and Killed Himself.

In San Francisco there's a Chinese
secret society, the laws of which are
as strict and unchanging as those OF
the MedeS and PerSianS. One of the
members of this society told some OF
its secretS-an offense punishable by
death. He was To- be tried in the uSua
way before Il tribunal of the society
The night of the ordeal was fixed
The culprit was represented by able
counsel. but the sentence was death
as was expected. An eXecutiOner was
called from an adjoining room. He
was Il strappinG big Chinaman. anC
wore one of those hideouS wOOder
masks that art critics think so beauti
tuI. He carried dOuble-edged swOrG
fully five feet long. Te test the edge he
folded newspaper in eight parts, anG
the knife Went through those eiSh'
thlckneSSes of paper as if it were
bit of butter in summer time.
The culprit was brought in upon his
knees. and another Chfnaman, also on
his knees. faced him and caught the
traitor by the cue. He drew the cul
prit's neck toward him, the smOck was
pulled over the shoulders, and with
one mighty swing the dOuble-edged
sword descended. Like a flash it Glove
the air and then stopped. \ fractional
part of an inch separated the sword
frem the victims neck. Very. very
gently the eXecutiOner brought the
weapon down until it just touched the
traitors neck Then. as it is q crime to
kill man in San Francisco. he stop
ped. He brought the sword to his side
again, turned to the jugdes and said:
The culprit is dead
The newly executed got on his feet
and said something to the judge. The
judge did not heed for the culprit
was dead. He tried to speak to the
Cinnamon. who were hurrying from
the hall But he spoke to deaf ears.
To all intents and purpose he was a
dead man.
He made his way into the street,
and the first thing that caught his eye
was Il hugh poster prOclaiming to all
Chinatown that he had been executed
that evening. No one would speak to
him. no one look ut him-he was a
dead man-just as dead as if the exc
cutiOners sword had in reality de-
scended.
For Il whole week that man wan
dered about Chinatown, the posters
proclaiming his execution staring him
in the face ut every turn. Not a crust
Of bread could he beg-not a mouth
full of water. His people knew him
as dead-he was past, gone, buried.
And so one day he wandered up into
the American portion of San Fran
cisco and stole revolver from a mes
Senger boy. who was showing it to
some comparisons. Then he ran down
into Chinatown. sat down on the pave
ment beneath one of his own death
notices and blew the added brains out

The Horse in Battle

A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle just the
same as his rider As the column
swings into line and waits, the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out. he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive If
he has been six months in the service
he knows every bugle call As the cali
comes TO advance the rider can feel
him working at the bit with his tongue
to get it between its teeth. As he
moves out he will either seek TO get
on faster than he should or bolt. H.,
cannot bolt. however. The lines will
carry him forward. and after a minute
he will grip. lay back his ears, and one
can feel his sudden resolve TO brave
the worst and have done with it as
soon as possible.
