His Strongest Supporters in Utah We're
Non. Mormons.
Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 10--The Middle
Tennessee conference of Mormons, in
session here, was addressed by Benja-
min o. Rich, president of the southern
propaganda of his church. President
Rich has charge of mission work in II
states. Speaking tonight of the case
of Representative-elect Roberts of Utah
he said:
1.-The case of Brigham H. Roberts is
being tried at Washington. Let con-
gress determine the matter. I was one
of Roberts most bitter opponents ard
stumped the state of Utah against HIM.
l did this merely because he was a
democrat. I was working in the inter-
est of my party.
THE strongest and most inf1ueasial
supporters Roberts had in his cam
paign were non-Mormons. 1 name one,
Judge O. w. Powers. who was ap-
pointed by Grover Cleveland to a
judgeship before Utah's statehood, and
who is a bitter enemy of the Mormon
people, having sent scores of them TO
prison for polygamy. He supported
Roberts because Roberts was a demo-
crat. The republicans will attend to
the case in a few days, which, in my
judgment will give the next electoral
vote of Utah, Wyoming. Idaho and
Montana to Mr.. Bryan. I do not be-
leve Roberts will be seated"

IT Is BEGINNING
A NEW SLAVERY
The Problem Of Women Wage Farmers
Rev DR.. Srzith Sees a Menace to
the Lie OF the Nation.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 10-Rev. DR. S.
G. Smith, pastor of the Peoples church
in this city, whose recent statements in
regard to the woman wage earners and
their interference with men workers
have attracted wide attention and crit
icism, tonight replied to his critics in
sermon. DIR. Smith said in part:
1T was in savage times that women
were the slave and served her master
in mental tasks. We are fast on the
road to a new savagery. The problem
began when the discovery of machinery
and the factory system took the place
bade the delicate fingers of woman and
the dimpled hand of childhood to grasp
the fallen task.
Economic conditions have no chiv-
airy and human avarce have no sense
of honor The majority of working wo-
men in this country, now 100000 of
them, are between the ages of IA and 25
The great fact of the last decade, how
ever, is the enormous increase among
the number of girls under 16 years of
age.
I'VE are devouring the possible
strength of the nation by draining the
life of its future mothers. Forty-tive
per cent of the manufacturing in the
United States is now done by women.
Make our women beasts of burden
and the doom of our strength is at
hand. No army is anymore vigorous
that the mothers who bore the soldiers
The tendencies Of the times when enor-
nous increase of woman labor and of
immature young women is the eco
nomic, social, moral and physical evil
of our time, and it is the most serious

age will approximate $1,o00,000. The
flames were discovered on the second
floor of the White establishment, and
spread SO rapidly that the entire fire

help summoned from Macon and Saw

stores beneath it, all part of the old
Central hotel building, abutted the
White property and was the second
property to be attacked and destroyed,
the Masonic hall, a handsome three
story building occupied by offices and
lodge rooms following. There was
much excitement among the hotel
guests. but all escaped by the stair
ways and most of them saved their
personal effects.
Many commercial men stopping at
the hotel lost hundreds of dollars
worth of samples Several smaller
buildings We're quickly destroyed and

municated to the Schneider building
across Eighth street and on the next
block, but after hard work the progress
of the fire was arrested here. Follow

Dorr, building and stock, $4,000; Ma

The losses of % other business men
range from $1,000 to $4,000 each. The
fire is supposed to have been started
from an electric light wire. The Saw

rived too late to render any assistance.

ly believed here that Walter Rosser
who shot and mortally wounded Fred
erick S. Slater last night in Madison

Spreckles market in this city. AT his
trial he pleaded temporary insanity,
caused by over-indulgence in liquor
The jury disagreed in the first trial
A second trial resulted in Rosser's ae-
quittal. The verdict caused considerable
indignation, and much of the subse-
quent lawlessness of soldiers in this
city was attributed to it's effect.
A few weeks after Rosser's acquit-
tai his father, prominent Southern
man, died from the nervous strain AL
tendant on the trial of his SON.
Rosser was born in Stevenson, Ala
His parents moved to Nashville, Tenn.
when he was quite young. He gradu-
ated from the Vanderbilt university in
that city. When the war began he en-
listed in the Tennessee regiment. His
fathers influence could have secured

hospital service, where he could con-
tinue his medical studies. While in

the Oreganian from The Dalles says:
Deputy Sheriff Howell of Wasco
county had an exciting experience to-

WATER QUESTION AGAIN
A Special Meeting of the City
Council Called.
THE GRAVEYARD STATION
Claimed the Water Is Contaminated by
Seepage From the Cemetery
The Company Asserts
Water Is Pure.

Mayor Mccarthy has called a special
meeting of the council for this even
ing to take steps in connection with
the renewed outbreak of smallpox and
to consider the subject of the charac-
ter of the water being supplied to the
city by the water company. The lat
ter is a renewal of the old agitation
regarding 'graveyard' water, as the
water pumped from the pump station
near Silver Bow creek used to be
called.
The water pumped from this station.
it was formerly claimed. was contain
mated by seepage from the cemetery,
hence the name that was applied to it.
A few days ago it was reported that
the water company was pumping from
this station again, and Aldermen Page
and Noyes visited the station last Sat
urday and found the pumps going.
They reported to Mayor Mccarthy and
as he had decided to call a special
meeting Of the council to consider the
smallpox situation, he decided to in
clude in the call the subject of water.
and yesterday issued notices to the
members of the council notifying them
that a meeting would be held this
evening to consider these two mat
ters.
W. W. Wiseman of the company,
when seen last evening with refer
ence to the matter of the water pump
ed from the station near Silver Bow
creek, said:
Il fail to see where there can be any
objection to the use of the water from
that station. 1t is pumped from a we'll
SO feet deep, which is certainly too
deep to allow of any seepage, and be-
sides, we have had chemical anal
ysis made of the water by the Dear
born Chemical company of Chicago and
it was found to be as pure as any wa
ter ever used in Butte. Another thing.
this station has been used every win
ter when the extra use of water makes
it necessary in order to keep up the
necessary pressure for fires, and there
does not appear to have been any bad
results from the use of it in the past"
