Bishop Fowler's Vigorous Language.
Bishop Fowler spoke briefly in de-
nunclatlCn of conditions in Utah. If I
had the means to conduct the work in
Utah, he said. 4 would put a mis-
sionary, school and a deacOness in
every town in the state. We must re-
deem Utah If we get these Mormon
children TO think, we can blow the top
on their organization. We've got to stir
up this ants nest; kick the top off and
capture some of the ants before they
get housed again. An awful crime has
settled down upon this territory: it was
conceived in sin. I don't believe in DO
lygamy. but polygamy is the whitest
bird in the internal nest. All the other
things are so much blacker that pOIyg-
amy looks white"
Continuing, Bishop Fowler said: 1.-The
MormonS get most of their converts
from the lower classes of England and
wales They go to the stables and the
kitchens, and preach faith. repentance
baptism and the laying on of hands
They tell their victims that the church
will pay their way to Utah and provide
them with homes when they get there
II. after they get here they walk so as
not TO offend the ward spy or the lit

is made against the hierarchy. the
money is demanded of them, together
with many other things"

ENDS SUFFERING
WITH REVOLVER
Mrs. Meyme McCarty Com
mits Suicide at ffId
WAS WE'LL PLANNED
Was Afflicted With Cancer
Well Known In Salt Lake.

AS the result of long suffering from
a cancer which she knew to be incura-
BILE, Mrs. Meyme McCarty, wife of
Principal r. L. McCarty of the Sandy
public schools, shot herself through the
temple at noon yesterday and died in
stantIy. The unfortunate woman COM
mitted suicide in her own room and al
most in the presence of her husband,
who sat in an adjoining room with the
door standing open.
For years Mrs. McCarty had been
troubled with cancer. Every possible
method of curing her was tried without
avail. She slowly grew worse, and at
last the realization came to her that
she must perish by inches. Feeling that
she could live but a few months longer
at best, and that those months must
be full of torture, she concluded to take
this means of ending her existence.
Talked of Suicide.
Frequently during the last few weeks
she had talked of ending her life. Her
friends paid little attention 10 this kind
of talk from her, however, for her dis
position had always been cheerful in
spite of her intense suffering. Prof Nc
Carly, though, became impressed with
the idea that his wife contemplated
Self-destruction. With this fear in his
mind he hid his pistol from iler.

for the first time that the Americans
shared in the assault on the city and
that they marched with the British
troops to the south gate, while the
Japanese and Russians operated
against the east gate. What was
most noticeable in the Japanese re-
port was that the japanese killed are
f-iven at 100 and the Chinese killed at
400 This makes no account Of the
wounded and indicates that when the
detailed list is received il will be a
heavy che as the wounded always far
exceed the killed. Furthermore. the re-
mort states that the loss of the al
lies has not be ascertained." This is
the first intimation that there were
losses other than those sustained by
the Japanese The entire tenor of the
report indicates that the engagement
was a fierce one, lasting throughout the
dav of August -, as the attack began
early in the morning and the blowing

nightfall.
Trouble Still in Sight.
Even with the Chinese capital occu-
pied by the allied forces, it is realized
that there is still serious business for
the forces inside the city. While they
have reached the outer walls, which
sncircle the entire city, yet there are
walls within walls, and it remains TO

Hon. H. LOuCkS,
70 the Citizens of Hot springs.

In few days we are intending to
call upon the business men and others
OF Hot Springs who might be interest
ed directly or indirectly in the erec-
tion of an Episcopalrchurch, not simp-
ly because of its being an Episcopal
Church, but possibly, and more partic-
ularly because of it's being public i'm
provement and an additional induce
ment and attraction for those of Epis-
copalian faith and ancient forms of
worship to spend their summers and
their money in Hot Springs rather
than going elsewhere. 1t would seem
to me that our recognized necessities
as society in the community would
necessarily call forth generous re-
sponse on the part of all liberal mind
ed men and women interested in the
growth, stability and attractiveness of
the city. The unfinished foundation
upon which your eyes have rested for
years is, in itself an irresistible appeal.

ACampatgn Lie Nailed.

My attention has been called to an
article in the Lead City Call of Aug
ust Goth, in which it is stated that a
committee from four Labor Unions
waited on me in 1894, and that made
them the following statement: "Your
scale of wages are too high! You are
blind to your own interests! If you
keep your hands off and let US reduce
wages to si,77o per day, there will be
more work for twice as many men!
One dollarand seventy cents a day is
enough for any working man to re-
ceive," and in a latter edition of the
same paper l notice the following
sentence has been added to the for
going: "About the only difference
would be that they would not have so
much money to throw over thebar for
whiskey"
Most of the campaign stories that
emanate from the councils of that
paper are so gross and improbable as
not to deceive anyone, whether person
ally acquainted with me or not. This
article, however, charges me directly
with making certain statement upon
an important subject, and members
of Labor Unions are entitled to know
the truth about it. | never made any
such statement to committee, or
anyone, at the time stated, or at any
time. l never entertained views of
the kind attributed to me in that
article. During the past twenty years
l have employed numerous miners in,
l think, every year, and have always
been glad to pay the full miners
wages. 1t has always been my custom
also to pay full days wages for the
time of laboring men subpoenaed as
as witnesses, instead of the insignifi-
cant allowance made by the statute
1t is greatly to the credit of the Black
Hills country that the wages of the
laboring men have been kept SO high
and sincerely hope that they may
never be reduced.
The other statements of the article
| referred to are absurd and are like
wise false.

Will support Mckinley,


To the Editor-Having voted the
democratic ticket for fifty years, now
propose to vote for Mckinley. Many
of may democratic friends are anxious
to know why have changed my pol
itics at this late day. Well, in the
first place, the republican party is
preaching the expansion doctrine that
1 have been fed on all my life-so
am right at home on that question.
Mr.. Bryan seems to think that is the
leading issue pefore the people in this
camrai.!n-therefore, that not only
reconciles me but it satisfies large
majority of the democrats throughout
the whole country that it is their
duty to vote the straight republican
ticket from bottom to top. If Jeffer.
son and Jackson we're expansionists
and they certainly we're, why should
not democrats of to day stand by those
pure patriots? South Dakota you can
count safely in the republican list.

A Republican Prayer.

Oh, Lord, I'm not going to ask any
favors for we don't need 'em. We've
got Hanna, and if anything scares a
democrat out of his boots it's Hanna.
They think he's the whole thing with
the trimming thrown in. 1 wouldn't
make a prayer at all but saw the
democratic prayer in the June issue of
the Buzz-Saw, where they asked you
to gather Hanna to his fathers. Oh,
Lord, don't you do it, for we can't
spare him. And don't you listen to
any democratic promises, for they
won't do thing they promise to do.
Oh, Lord, you know the sins of the
democratic party that they are many
and mighty. If Oyou wsnt to scourge
the democrats you can't do it any bet
ter than to let Hanna do it. The men,
tion of his name will make a demo-
crat howl. Oh, Lord, don't help US
nor don't help the democrats and
when Hanna gets to stirrin' up the
animals you'll see more fun than a
bushel of monkeys. Besides this, Oh,
Lord, politics is getting mighty dirty,
and ] don't think it will suit you to
take any part in it. oh, Lord, we're
having lots of fun down here with the
the democrats and if you'll just let us
alone we'll have lots more. We don't
think you care much for them anyway
for if you did you would have been
helping them along little in the past
40 years, and not have let them act a
fool SO often. oh, Lord, if you should
take Hanna the democrats wouldn't
have anything to howl about, aud il
would be might lonely hear on this old
earth. Now, Oh, Lord, I've said
enough, 1 wouldn't have bothered you
but we don't want you to take Hanna
and don't listen to the democrats al
all, for they would deceive the very
elect. You can't believe thing they
tell you, and the people down here who
know them won't trust them with
anything hardly. They haven't elected
but one man president in 40 years, and
he was such plum failure
they were ashamed of that. That't
