MIR. ROOTS STRONG PLEA
Honor of the Nation Depends on the
 Army Bill.

Washington, Dec. 23.-At the last meeting of the senate military affairs committee, the proceeGiugs of which are just made public, Secretary Root made a strong presentation of the ne cessity for immediate legislation for the relief of dhe army. He stated broadly Ghat if congress did not imme- diately indlorse the army bin in sub stantial accordance with the recom- mendaticns of the war department, the United States would be obliged to abandon a large portion of the Philip pine islands where civil government is established, leaving the municipal off cers, mostly Filipinos, defenseles;, with every prospect Of being deprived of their lives and property, and at the same time the United States would be disgraced, the secretary said. ter having proved faithless to its sol emn obligations. The secretary ar gued that it was necessary to pass the department bill aE a W1Cie in order to properly adjust the military Crganiza- ton to the new conditions.
 Secretary Root also devoted consid- erabla attention 10 the army oanteen, urging that it was a great means of mainpa!ling the morality, health and discipline of the troops. The posc eX- change, he said. is a club. where the men get together to read. talk and. smoke, playing checkers and other games, and drinking under such nat uraI restraints as the pnace afforded. A prohibition of the canteen, the secre- tary said, would interfere with enlist ments and drive men out of the post exchange, where they are subject to saiutary restraints, into the demoral- izing and vicious surroundings outside of army posts. It would result in more drinking and more deception among those who drank

DEWET NEAR SENEKAL
British Troops Getting Around the Divided Boer Forces Which Suffer Heavy Losses-A Special Column Being 0rganized-Kitchener Con fident But the Government is Again Buying Mules.

London, Dec. 23.-The war office has received the following from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, December %:
 "As far as it is possible for me to form an opinion from the reports of officers on the spot I think the Boer movement into Cape Colony has been checked. Of the two forces that en- tered the Colony the eastern is still north of the Zouthansberg range, whilst the one that entered the west has been turned in the direction of Britstown and Prieska. Our troops are getting around both bodies and a special column is also being organized. which will be dispatched immediately, when I know where their services are most wanted.
 ''DeWet is in the neighborhood of Senekal. General French with General Clements attacked the force under Beyers south of Magaliesberg. The Boers broke away in a southwesterly direction toward Potchegstroom and were followed by Gordon with a col umn of French's force.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING
What 8 Newspaper Item Did for a
 Phoenix Man.

Most people have little idea of the value of advertising" said c. G. Will jams, manager of the Ford hotel. He then related his experience when he first came to Phoenix some years ago. He is himself a civil engineer by pro fession, and a gentleman of consider able wealth happened to arrive here on the same train and registered at the same hotel.
 That day a reporter for The Republi- landlord, who gave him a short story to the effect that MT. Blank had come here for the purpose of building a large sanitarium and was accompanied by his architect, MT. Williams. Of course, the story appeared in the next issue of the paper. The following day MT. Williams received several invitations from local architects to make their respective offices his headquarters.
 During the following week nearly all the lumber dealers, hardware mer- chants, contractors, masons and quar- rymen in the city either called or sent representatives to establish an ac- quaintances that would ripen into a business relationship. By that time he had secured a postoffice box and every morning he found it filled with circular letters and bric-a-brac from houses in distant cities, dealing in builders sup plies. The paper had gone abroad and business men everywhere are awake these modern days. There were sam pies of building paper, paints, sheet iron, roofing, tiles, mechanical devices and catalogues galore from foun- drymen, iron workers and. in fact, every line of trade that would be rep resented in the erection of a modern up-to-date building.

LESS GRATIFYING REPORTS.

London, Dec. 23.-The Cape Colony cabinet had an important sitting today It appears the Boers have destroyed a railway bridge ninety feet long, about twelve miles south of DeAar and no Cape mails have arrived at B,Oomfon- tein for three days. Further anxiety has been caused in Cape Town by the discovery that during the last. two months public bodies in out-of-the-way places have requisitiOned for supplies of dynamite. The colonial government is now endeavoring to recover posses sion of these explosives and is remov- ing all stores of arms and ammunition from suspected depots.
 Other advices from Cape Town re- port the Dutch element in Cape Colony as greatly elated over the southward passage of the Boers and as boasting that the whole district of Victoria west will join the raiders. It is suspected in Cape Town that the force travelling from Zootpansdrift is not body Of Boers, but one of colorials has.ening to join the invaders.

cates of the higher view of Christian marriage hold that there is no indis- soluble bond between the believer and the unbeliever. If they can agree to remain together then God may bless the union. If the unbelieving partner should leave the believing partner, he may marry again if the husband, but the ordinary Christian woman is not free to marry again. Still it is con- ceGad that if the unbeliever is the cause of separation, whether by desertion OF otherwise, then the Christian partner, either man or woman is free to marry again.
 "The conclusions to which the advo- cates of the higher view of marriage reach are as follows:
 ''All marriages contracted between Christians and non-Christians are null and void. Such a marriage bears the mark of the fall. It has probably been entered upon subject to polygamy and divorce It certainly is not instinct with the holiness of marriage as it is found in the body of Christ, and in dealing with such unions God in his tory has not insisted that they should be treated as indissCluble.'

tending to show that the deceased was a ruler among his people. A large pile of tablets, probably records of his reign were at the rear of the casket, and many of them will be sent north for examination by expert antiquari- ans. The party will continue the ex- petition southward.
 According to Mormon traditions, Lehi and Ishmael, accompanied by their families, left Jerusalem about coo B. C.; built boats and sailed toward this con tinent, landing where Chili now is. Lehi had two sons, Nephi and Lamar. Nephi, obedient. and Lamar, trouble some. The party grew and two fac tions settled around the two sons as leaders. Finally the race numbered many thousand and built many cities in what is now New Mexico Arizona, Mexico and Central and South Amer ica. The two factions waged war for several centuries and about 400 A. D. the Nephites were eXterminated by the Lamanites, from whom the American Indians have descended. Maroni, the last of the Nephites, buried the records of his people, written on a brass plate, in the hill "Cumorah," in New York state. and the angel revealed these plates to Joseph Smith, who founded the Book of Mormon from the records. By finding in the ruins of Central and South American cities evidences that they were built by descendants of Lehi, the Mormons hope to give to the world proof that the first people in America were of the Mormon faith.

PHILIpRIGRS AFFAIRS
Department oficers' Reports to Nc
 Arthur Made Public

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The war de- partment has made public the series of reports made to General MacArthur by his subordinate officers, constituting the heads of various departments which have attended to the civil affairs in the Philippines for the past year. Attention is directed to the marked in- crease in the customs receipts under American management, partly due to the fact, that formerly a large part of the imports came from Spain and paid no duty. The extension of the United States emigration laws to the islands, without a substantial change to meet the local conditions, is said to have proven of doubtful eXpediency, and especially so, with regard to the con- tract labor law. It is essential, say the reports. for the mercantile interests to secure employees from abroad under contract. else business will suffer.

Washington, Dec 23.-(SpeciaI)-B A. Fowler chairman of the Salt River Valley storage committee and George H. Maxwell, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the National Irriga- tion association, who is particularly interested in the correct solution of the storage problem in the Salt River val ley, will leave for Phoenix in a day or two.

Maxwell to accom- pany him to Phoenix to confer with the
 water storage committee and citizens regarding the water question.

A RIVER SERPENT
The Kind Tourists See in Arizona
 Streams.

At a banquet of ultra fashionables- in Chicago, recently, the phenomenon of Arizona rivers was discussed. The topic of conversation was rather un- usual for function of the kind, but two of the principal guests had just re turned from Arizona and they had glowing tales of their adventures with wild men, Apaches and curious ami ma,s and fish unknown to the oldest in habitant of this territory. The fame of the sea serpent was destined to di- minish. for the two Chicago men who explored the wilds of Arizona had a story to relate of a river serpent which spouted a column of water 100 feet in to the air and was intelligent enough to mix water with beer. The two tend erfeet were camped on the Salt river near the head of the Arizona canal some time ago. They had been camped there for some time, but saw few wild features in that sequestered region which they could not witness in a hun dred places not so weird and thrilling as dark Arizona is supposed to be- They prostrated themselves on the ground under their tent, near the river. and plotted and planned ways and means for providing excitement, or thrilling adventure which they could relate when they returned to Chicago They got one sooner than they antici- pated. A massive column of water rose from the river and seemed bent on rising out of sight. Suddenly the waterspout took the form of a geyser and the whole volume of water wrecked its fury on the tent and the inmates. They were rendered almost uncon- scious by water and fright and when they recovered sufficiently to walk they made their way post haste to ex- anime the bank of the river where they had floated small vessel containing numerous bottles of beer and other ar dent liquors. They had been almost drowned and sought to be resusitated- The schoOners. however. had been ul- moored from their fastenings, by the commotion produced by the powerful waterspout and corkS which played hide and seek with each other on the still turbulent water of the Salt. formed the fiotsam and jetsam of the once well ballasted craft.
 In the eyes of the tenderfeet this in cident was shrouded in mystery. To e. H. Shaw and several others who were camping near the Chicago man it was no phenomenon at all. They had floated several sticks of giant powder down the stream, affixing a time fuse and the natural explosion was respon- sible for the commotion.

COMING OF THE HORIZONS
Discoveries in Mexico May Prove I'm
 portant Claims.

Letters received in this city last week tell of important antiquarian discover ies made in southern Mexico and Cen dral America, by a party of Mormon explorers. Three months ago the party began three-years' trip down into South America, for the purpose of searching for traces of the last sur vivors of the Nephites. believed by the Mormons to have been the first people in this country.
 Benjamin Cuff, president of the Brigham Young academy, in Provo, Utah, is in charge of the expedition and has twenty-four students under his charge. In a letter to a friend here Professor Cuff states that many pre- historic ruins have been examined by the party and evidences unearthed, which tend plainly to uphold the Nor mon traditions.
 At one place in the southern part of the state of Durango they found the remains of what appeared to have once been a city of very large size, and in the largest ruip dug out a stone casket. in which were found hieroglyphics which correspond with those in the brass tab lets, said to have been found in New York, and which were translated into the book of Mormon. Further eXcava- tions revealed a burial place. where Q large number of human bones were found, some of the skeletons in an eX- cellent state of preservation. Stone tablets were found and marked in such a manner and with such figures as are found on the Painted Rocks in Ari- Zona.
 Tn one large chamber isolated from the others, they found a great stone casket in which were the bones of what had been very large man, and on the stone were engraved figures

MORE MULES NEEDED.

Kansas City, Dec. 2S.-Captain Hey gate of the British army is purchasing 50,000 cavalry horses and mules for the British army in South Africa. He came here for this purpose year ago, but was ordered home when it was thought the Boer war was over. The uneXpect- ed renewal of hostilities has made the purchase of more horses and mules necessary.
 It is stated they cost England $36) a head landed in South Africa and that more than 100000 have been purchased in the United States already since the beginning of the Boer war.
