Killed Her Daughter and Herself

Our Blackloot people will remember
little Audry Keeler, when her mother
lived with her son-in-law in this town,
some years ago.
After moving TO Utah and growing
up to womanhood she was seduced by a
DIR. Snowden, married man Of the
town In which the family lived. To
save himself from the penitentiary,
Snuwden got a divorce from his wife
aud married Miss keeler.
Two days ago, Mrs. Snowden, nee
Keeler, shot her little daughter, %
months old, the offspring before her
marriage, and then turned the revolver
on herself, dying instantly. DIR. Snow
den was from home at the time OF the
tragedy. No cause has yet been assign
ed for the deed. 1t has been said that
the young woman's friends turned away
from her after her fall, and her unhap'
piness Ia married life may be judged
from the deep pathos OF its ending.

merchant, manufacturer and in- vestor that it is a wise policy to let we'll enough alone.
 Money is being made in legiti- mate enterprises. These enter prises mean, in their success, en- hanced values, but not inflated values. The influences which would steer" the public into a season of general bull specula- tion count upon imitation, re- gardless of the danger of subse- quent contraction and collapse. And it is the outside speculator, the public, upon whom falls the loss from collapse due to over trading.
 The American public is acting wisely just now. It is content with healthy prosperity based on naturally benehcient condi- tions. It is not inclined to un- due haste in making profits. The development of this spirit is sat isfying to the thoughtful student of American conditions.-Repub. lic

DIVORCED MAY MARRY.

Until the next triennial conven- ton of the Episcopal bishops and cl ergy. matters will stand upon the marriage and divorce question as 1t has stood for the past three years.
 The greatest battle of the recent convention in San Francisco has been waged over section 4,,of canon 36, which would have virtually forbid the.remarriage of a divorced person by priest of that church.
 This section 4 of canon s6 pass, ed the house of deputies for ratifi- cation. There, after lengthy and heated discussion in the committee of the whole, it was adopted by an aye and no vote. But when the committee of the whole reported its work to the house the deciding vote was taken on not only section 4, but on the entire section, which resulted adversely, and the whole canon was defeated. This now leaves that knotty question where 1t stood before, to await another wrangle three years hence. Section 37, which provided for the discip- lining of persons who might marry after being divorced, met a similar fate as natural consequence after the defeat of section 36, the main and most troublesome question be- fore the convention. It will be many year, we opine, before the church will have settled down har- moniously upon a solution of this vexing and exceedingly delicate point in church legislation.
 The greatest preacher and law giver who ever lived some nine teen hundred years ago gave utter ance upon this social and moral question, which seems to settle all doubts in the minds of the gener- ality of thinkers, but lingual con- structionists and theoretic sticklers will persist in keeping up con- tention.
 If the churches would settle down upon an acceptance of Christ's declaration on that sub- ject and jointly move for uniform state and national legislation cov- ering the marriage and divorce question, something more tangible and decisive might be accomplish ed. Otherwise the wrapgle and the evil will both continue.-Ga- zette.
