MAY DE HARD TO CONVICT HooT.
Little Evidence Against Man Accused
Of tempt wife Murder

WATERLOO, Ia, Jan. 3O.-(Special Iele-
eram.)-Word was received this morning
that Sheriff Law had arrived at New Or
leans and that he is awaiting the arrival
of reuulsition papers from Des Moines be-
fore he can get the local authorities there
to surrender Jerome w. Hoot, charged with
the attempted murder of his wife by send
ing her an Internal machine. There is much
speculation as to the method of procedure
in handling the case against the prisoner
and many are wondering IL 1t is possible TO
convict him. The officers know that the
box containing the dynamite with which 1t
is charged Hoot intended to kill his wife
was made for him by a cabinet maker IN
| Omaha. The county attorney has in MS
possession a duplicate of the box made by
the same man. The cabinet maker will be
brought to Waterloo as a witness before
the grand jury, which convenes the LIST oil
March. He will swear that Hoot visited
his little shop in Omaha and gave full d.
%rections for the making and finishing OF
the box: that when it was completed he
remarked that if it worked all right he
would want 100 more just like it. This re-
mark it is taken was intended by Hoot ia
allay any suspicious the man might have
on account of the somewhat strange order
he was filling.

The Board of County Supervisors met
Yesterday and put in the day considering the
report submitted by Thomas Bowman and
Spencer Smith showing the result OF their
examination of the books and accounts oil
former Sheriff Morgan during his last term
The first action of the board was to REFER
the report to the OF the Whole
and the supervisors thereupon went into eN-
ecutiye session behind closed doors. Ihey
remained in secret session until late In the
afternoon when the board reconvened ana
the report was referred to a special commit
tee consisting of Supervisors Hansen, Mat
thews and Brandes. During the morning
session the board refused to make public the
nature of the report, but at the close OF the
meeting of the committee of the whole, dur
ing part of which ex-Sheriff Morgan was
present. the board reconsidered its deter
mination to keep the report secret.
The report gives in detail the receipts and
expenses OF the sheriff's office for the two
years-1S9S and 1S99-which comprised Nor
CAMS second term. In opening the report
says;
I'VE found the affairs of this office KEEP
in a day book in which the daily business
was supposed to be entered by the person
performing the service; a fee book int
which these items were posted by the officla
deputy; a cash book in which all items o
cash fees collected were entered daily; al
execution book in which all sales of rea
estate and the fees therein were entered.
1--WE also examined the records in tn
clerks office referred to in the clerks re
port to us Of the fees paid over by that of
fee to the sheriff. We also examine tn
sales book records in the clerks ottlc
showing sales of real estate under eXecu
tions and deeds issued thereon by tn

Thus the report finds Morgan indebted to
the county in the sum of 81 ,l75.99 and TINS
sum may be increased by the $536'66' the
amount paid in salaries more than the re-
GENTS of the office We're. If the supervisors
insist in holding Morgan liable for this lat
ter amount the eX-sheriff will have to pay
over Sl,7l2.65 to square himself. This, how
ever, Morgan does not intend to do without
a protest. as he claims that he has PAID
into the county treasury every cent that
was due from him,
When asked yesterday what he had TO

not believe that Bryan or any other can
didate can be elected this year on the

at this very time make q poll of the states
that cast clean majority OF the cleo
toral votes and ascertain that they are as
absolutely opposed TO Bryan on the free
silver issue as II their votes had been
cast and canvassed against him. All over
the country prominent free silver men are
undergoing a change Of heart In the light
Of experience. The South. solidly Demo-
cratic in the past and conscineitously loyal
to Bryan under the conditions that exist
ed in 1896, Is now looking for other issues
IL realizes that conditions have changed
and so must the candidates. Prosperity
has supplanted adversely, profitable wages
and higher prices have taken the places OF
low wages and low prices. The hum OF
industry has smothered the cries of dis
content which were the basis of Bryan's
candidacy in 1896. The rising call is for
new issues. new men and a new Democ-
racy. and Republicans who are tickling
themselves over the prospect OF what is
commonly called "a walk-over" next fan.

BELIEF OF THE MORMONS,
Doctrines and Covenants of the Fol
lowers of brigham Young.

In Mrs. j. X, Hudson's Mormon story in
the New Llppincott furFebruary there oc-
ours the following significant quotation
from sermon by Brigham Young:
The revelation has been read from this
pulpit many times, continued Brother
Brigham, but 1t seems necessary to re-
peat II again and again for the guidance
of this wayward people We believe in the
principles spoken of in the revelation
Mas< others are of the same mind. and
walk accordingly; still others have criti-
clsed the church for teaching and practice
ing the ordinance of celestial marriage 1t
will now be seen Of all men that we were
justified In everything that we have done
and sanctioned. For this revelation saith,
as pertaining to the law of the priesthood:
If any man espouse a virgin and desire
to espouse another and the first gives her
consent. and If he espouse the second, and
they are virgins, and have vowed no other
man, then is he justified he cannot COM
NIT adultery. for they are given to him.
for he cannot commit adultery with that
that belongeth unto him and TO none else:
and IL he have ten virgins given unto him
by this law, he cannot commit adultery,
for they belong TO him, and they are given
unto him: therefore is he justified
Now I ask you again to carefully note
that before reading the extrac; from this
sacred revelation, / read you from the
equally sacred book OF Doctrines and Cow
enants that whatsoever shall speak when
moved upon by the Holy Ghost, shah be
the will. the mind. the word and the power
of the Lord But | must explain to you
my children, that this passage means that
when any one shall 20 speak in this
church. having first been endowed with
grace as q high priest In the Church Of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, then
shall his word be the same as Gods word
Therefore. when | say unto any man that
II is good for him TO enter into the celes-
tial marriage state. he need have no fear
Moreover. he may feel that l. his father in
the church and the representative of his
Heavenly Father. know what Is best for
him, and he will act accordingly"
