STATEMENT Of PRESBY[ ERIANS
CALL ON CONGRESS TO EXPFL
REPRESENTATIVE ROBERTS.
Say That Polygamists Are Not Kesp-
ing Faith With the Nation-Mob
Violence Condemned.

The following statement of the action
of the presbytery of Utah was summar-
lied in The Herald's dispatches Sunday
morning. On Saturday the text of the res
buttons adopted were mailed at SPRING
vile to The Herald. a special delivery
stamp being affixed TO the envelope to
ensure the greatest possible speed. Ac
cCrding TO the postmark on the envelope
the letter reached the Salt Lake postoffice
at 6 clock on Sunday evening. Ii was
delivered at The Herald office yesterday.
The statement follows:
In view of the important developments
since our action one year ago. the presby-
terry of Utah puts forth the following
statement:
First-This presbytery condemns and
protests against substituting such mob
violence as has been recently reported in
the public press in place of facts and just
arguments against the erroneous theories
and teachngs of the Mormon represtli-
tatives. If the teachings and practices of
Mormonism are contrary to the laws of
any of the states, such unlawful teach
ings and practices should be death with
justly and fairly by the state courts.
Second-We recognize that there is a
strong minority among the Mormon peo-
pie who deprecate with US the re-eStab-
lishment of the former conditions in
pledges made to the national government
have not been kept We congratulate
those who compose this minority, and
urge them TO stand by their convictions
until american principles shall triumph
in Utah
Third-The developments since our
action at Manti have confirmed. before
the world. the truth of our charges that
polygamOus cohabitation is being re-estab-
lished throughout the state. The births
of polygamous children have continued
and the most solemn pledges to the gov
eminent of the United States have been
deliberately violated in the election of
the well known polygamist, B. II. Rob-
erts, to the national congress.
Fourth-We deem 1t our duty, as
Christians and citizens of the United
States. 10 protest against allowing the
said b. H. Roberts to retain his seat in
congress, not because of his religious or
political views. but because he Is living
in polygamous cohabitation with at least
three women.
Fitth-In view of this monstrous action
in electing a polygamist to assist in max
ing the laws for Christian nation and
in view of the fact that the laws of the
United States are not operative in deal
ing with polygamy in the states we
heartily endorse the action of the Pres
byterian assembly at Minneapolis in May.
1893, in asking for the expulsion of B. H
Roberts from congress, and for a consti-
tutional amendment against polygamy
and polygamous cohabitation.

Joe Henshaw's Troubles.

Manager Henshaw of the Knutsford
has entered fully into the spirit of the
occasion, and has placed commodious
parlors at the disposal of the men who
bury the dead. and given them the best
facilities possible to extend their knowi-
edge and improve their methods.
Joe tried hard to secure a corpse for
practical demonstration, and was very
much grieved to think he could not
make it pleasant for his guests, but he
is happy in the knowledge that the
undertakers extended him a vote of
thanks for his ca orts, notwithstanding
this failure 1t wasn't Hepshaw's fault,
anyhow. If he could have gotten hold
of a mining expert or lonesome cap
italist he would have furnished the as

that individual called. in fearless tones:

"Oh, Lord" said Eph, feeling for his
hat.
Diehl went on to say that Smith was
vagrant, and the crisis was passed.

pointed Wright's wrong right out. He

scented him, into a gutter.
Wright pleaded that he had walked
to Murray and walked back and was

WILL HOLD UP THE WARRANT
AUDITOR RICHARDS WON'T PAY
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Thinks Trustees Should First Use Up
the S25, 900 Allowed By the Gen
eral Government.
Auditor Richards won.

Auditor Richards would like TO know
whether the State Agricultural college
can draw on the last legislative APP
preparation before the $4,000 donated
by the government is expended. He re-
ceived a request from the trustees of
the college yesterday for a warrant for
81. $3.50. for maintenance during July.
This is half as much again as I: 70
rata for the two years would allow,
but the auditor doesn't care particu-
larly about that. He says il doesn't
make any difference to him how fast
the state money is drawn. but when it
is all gone the college must get along
the best it can.
What he is interested in, though. is
the disposal of the governments $4,000.
So far as he knows. that hasn't been
touched as yet, and he thinks it should
be expended before the state treasury
is tapped. In order to get some light
on the subject, Mr.. Richards yesterday
addressed a letter to Attorney General
Bishop, asking for an opinion.
Until he receives one he will withhold
the desired warrant for 81 $3.50

Worms rob children of the life-giving
properties of their food, retard their
growth and weaken their constitution

CHILD's NARROW ESCAPE.
Would Have Drowned But For Brave
Little Brother.
Especial Correspondence.)


Logan, Aug 2s.-Word comes from
Blacksmith Fork canyon of the narrow
escape from drowning of a 6-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. +. jacobson
last evening. The little girl was playing
upon dilaDidated bridge which crosses
a canal at that place. while her brother,
years old, was fishing a short distance
above. The little girl stepped on the end
of a loose board and fell into the water.
1t was some time before her brother
missed her. but ne at once jumped into
the creek and rescued his sister. While
the water was not deep she had swallowed
a considerable quantity and it was some
time before she could be restored to con-
seriousness. This afternoon however, she
is progressing nicely toward recovery.
Some small boys with matches set fire
to a lot of hay stubble in the north field
on Saturday, just for fun. The fire quick
ly spread beyond their control and
reached the haystacks belonging to A. f.
Farr, jr., completely destroying them. One
hundred tons of fine hay went up in
smoke. with no earthly means of prevent
ing il. The loss will fall heavily upon
Earr. as IL represents a summers work
and expense in putting up.
