Mr. Cannon. a high official of the
Church of Jesus Christ Of Lat Day
Saints, cannot plead ignorance OF that dec

who has the reputation of being an eX-

ton. There is no doubt IN my Inlnd or IN
any of the right-thinking men OF the COM
munity that the conditions that predoul-
mated up to 1890 are extending through
out the community.
Under the enabling act it was a pro-
viso that proper safeguards should be en-
acted in the cons itutOn. The EdmundS-
Tucker act was to all intents and purposes
re-enacted under the new code. In the

IF these laws were honestly enacteQ.
with the honest intention that they should
be properly enforced, 1 consider that in
justice to the members OF the Mormon
community of the state of Utah, these
laws should have chance. If it is true,
as many people say, that these laws can
not be enforced. that Iuries will not con-
ish, then the lava biding people of Utah
should know it. While l desire more
nOtOriety in this matter than can help,
and expect a large measure OF abuse
from the organ of the church, I have
every hope that the end of this polygamic
condition is near

a contract for a very large tonnage Of

In regard to the contract for 10000 tons

Structural material has been advanced

New Furnaces Apparently Without

New York. July Interviewing the trade

Our usual monthly pig iron statistics
show that production, while it continued

coke and anthracite furnaces expanded
from $4,000 tons weekly on June 70 257.-
900 tons weekly on July I, and vet furnace

they are expected to start soon. a certain
amount of tonnage has been lost.
1t has been matter of surprise that
thus far there have been few indica tons
that high prices have adversely affected
consumption Probably the fact that de-

not favor it.
Edward Wilder-I am afraid that Mr.
Billiard holds two positions. He ought
to hold one and surely ought to be in
favor of helping the Commercial club.
I am sure that the taxpayers would not
even say anything about this matter
The citizens of Topeka would prefer
that we have rooms there if it is for the
best interests of the city.
J. 3. Billard-I did not know that 1
lost my citizenship when 1 Joined the
Commercial club. 1 am not in favor OF
this resolution.
Mr.. Bischofs resolution was adopted.
Secretary AndersOn-We have com
municatiOn here in regard to the acts
of the state board of charities 1t says
that the board did not conform to the
resolution Of the last session of the
legislature, which suggested that the
board should buy their necessary sup
plies of Kansas firms 1 understand
that the board has bought many things
outside of the state which could have
been purchased cheaper of our own
merchants. Now introduced this resolu-
ton myself and it was the unanimous
sentiment of the mem berS that we ought
to patrOnize home industries. OF course
we do not want to precipitate any bad
feeling but I do think that we ought
to see the members of the board and
ask them to conform as far as possible
to that resolution.

experience with this board myself and

goods of the lowest bidder although the
class of goods is the same
r. S. Johnson had the pleasure of
being in the list of members who were
to submit goods, and although did not
get any contracts for goods, yet I think
that the present board is treating the
merchants of Kansas a great deal bet
ter than they have been treated in the
past. The majority of the merchants
of Topeka got left on the awards. I
was among them
D. J. GreenWald-I had no bids in and
so have no room to kick on that matter
but 1 do think that we ought to say
something to the board about being a
little bit more free in giving their con-
tracts to Kansas merchants.
The matter was dropped without ac-
ton.
Under the head of miscellaneous bus
mess the use of the rooms of the club
were rendered to the Shawnee Poultry
association for the first Tuesday in

airy.

Orders to rush repairs on the cruiser
Philadelphia and fit her for seas as

ordered there to protect American in

From the Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad.
1t may be a question whether the editor
of a newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market. yet as
q preventive of suffering We feel it a duty
to say a good word for Chamberlain's
Colo, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
We have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and have
always found il reliable In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours of
suffering while a physician is awaited. We
do not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure. but do be-
lleve that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
DiarrhOea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception OF an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of a
physician would not be required. At least
this has been our experience during the
last twenty years. For sale by all drug
