GEORGE o. CANNON.

East9week just as the EXAMINER
was going to press, news was re-
calyed. that President George O.
Cannon had passed. away.
In Bear Lake county, especially
among the Latter Day Saints, his
death Is deeply rnourned,. as he was
the personal friend Of our people.
Among those who are not members
of, that church, his death is looked
upon. as assevcre blow, not only to
Utah and the church, but to. the
interests of the inter.
region. Notwithstanding his deep
religious eoat iet,ons, Gentiles es-
teemed him for his efforts In staf0p,-
ing out tie cid religious prejudices
that-for-a long time existed. His
stand on tic manifesto won for him
thousands of friends outside of the
church,, and it cost him none on the
inside, Although Mr.. Cannon had
several wives, he lived with only
one after the manifesto, all the.
while, however, providing splendid
~ for the rest..
! Next to President Y0ung;> the
EXAMINER believes his death re-
moves from the church the greatest
weFkersthat organization has ever
had.
The church and people will miss
him for; years to come.

A Man of Metal

The Iron Chancellor" has disappear
ed, says the Westminster Gazette, but
there is still Teuton very much alive
who is "a man of iron" in an almost lit
eral sense Of the term. This came out
a few days ago when young German
porter Dragged at public house that
he was man Of iron, since a sports
man had discharged at least ninety
grains Of shot into his back. He would
have nothing to do with surgeons,
wherefore his brother had removed
about half of the load" by the simple
expedient of cutting the shots out with
q knife. The story was presently
brought before the authorities, and the
porter was medically examined, with
the result that his story proved abso-
luteIy true. His back and arms were
"larded" with lead balls, which he car
ried about without any discomfort
whatever. The reason for his reluc
lance to approach a surgeon seems to
have been that the sportsman who had
thus marked him was gamekeeper,
and it was while he was on poaching
expedition that i'll luck thus befell him.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO MARRY.
Only So Bill Is Needed to Defray the
Necessary Expenses.

Necessary Expenses.
Marriage is one Of the cheapest of
luxuries if one reckOns only the out
lay required for the payment Of the
preacher or magistrate who performs
the ceremony and the cost of the IL
cense In such States as require IL
censes. Any minister, priest or preach
er of the gospel in the United States
may solemnize marriages, and in many
States judges for one or more classes
of courts may officiate. In all save
half dozen States, too, justices of the
peace have the privilege Of officiating
at the highly important function.
In some parts of the United States
the person performing marriage cere-
mony must have personal knowledge
of the identity, names and residence of
the parties, and inasmuch as such laws
are enforced in some of the Western
States where young people frequently
drive long distances to be married, the
stipulation has on occasion caused
more or less inconvenience. In most OF
the States two witnesses are required
to be present at the solemniZatlon or
marriage, although in some States a
single witness is sufficient. There is
still in force in Pennsylvania an old
law which prescribes that twelve wit
nesses shall be present, but this ex-
action is seldom if ever enforced. Per
haps the strangest stipulation Of all Is
that which appears in the laws Of Ten
nessee, and is to the effect that the
validity of a marriage shall be in no.
wise affected by the omission Of the
baptismal name Of either party in the
license and the use of a nickname in
stead, provided the parties can be iden-
tilted. Any person conversant with the
conditions prevailing in the mountain
districts of Tennessee will appreciate
the wisdom of this unique proviso..
Common supposition is to the effect
that the fee for performing the mar
rage ceremony is dependent entirely
upon the generosity of the bridegroom,
and it will doubtless, therefore, sur
prise many persons to learn that IN
several States the law has a hand in
the matter. In the old dominion, for
instance, there is statute which pro-
vides that the person solemnizing a
marriage is entitled to a fee Of one
dollar, and that "any person exacting
a greater fee shall forfeit to the party
aggrieved $50" In West Virginia 1t is
stipulated that the fee be lat least one
dollar" and the Idaho law says that
'"the fee shall be S. or any other
greater sum voluntarily given by the
parties to such marriage" In sixteen
States Of the Union a welded couple
may obtain a more or less elaborate GER
tificate of their marriage.

Man might as we'll initiate the habit
of the foolish canine and bay at the
moon as to attempt to prevent hall
storms by the use Of explosives or by
any agencies that are now under his
control. This Is the substance Of the
advice embodied in recent statement
issued by Prof. Willis l.. Moore, acting
Secretary Of Agriculture. The state
ment was called out by manifestations
of renewed interest in the subject In
various parts of the world, particularly
IN France and Italy. Attempts have
lately been made to prevent hailstorms
by the use of explosives from especial
ly designed cannon, but all have ended
in failure. Prof. Moore calls attention
to the fact that scientists in both Eu-
rope and America have shown the I'M
possibility of interfering with the great
processes of nature that are going on ia
the atmosphere. Basing their belief
on such knowledge Of the forces of ma
ture as science has revealed, they at
firm that no explosive that can ever be
invented by man will be powerful
enough to prevent hailstorms. The at
tempt to prevent hailstorms in this way
is as futile as the efforts of the rain
makers" of a few years ago, who were
seized with the notion that the use Of
high explosives would attract clouds
and produce rainfall. Thousands Of
dollars were expended In these absurd
experiments only to demonstrate that
Jupiter Pluvius pays no heed to mans
puny but noisy efforts to interfere with
his plans. The hail shooters, it is OBJ
served, are using practically the same
methods to dissipate the clouds that
the rainmakers used to attract them or
produce them. Hail prevention and
rain making are beyond the reach of
human skill and daring. They repre-
sent processes Of such vast and poten-
tial sweep as to mock the efforts OF
man to control them.

Regarding the feat, Mrs. Taylor after
ward said: II would sooner walk up

that it was going to blow me to pieces
than to make another trip over the

would not do it again for 81 100000.
The barrel in which Mrs. Taylor ac-

long. Attached to the bottom were
heavy weights to hold it upright. With

the bottom, which were placed over

head from humping against the top.

REVOLVER WOUNDS.

More Dangerous, for Various REASONS
than Those of the Rifle.
Wounds in civil life differ from those
in military life in the greater after
danger Of septic involvment. Revolver
cartridges are more liable than are
rife cartridges to have been handled
frequently, to have been carried in dir
ty pockets and to have come in contact
with various forms Of infectious mate
rails that may prove Of serious conse-
quence when buried In the tissues.
Moreover, revolver cartridges are COW
cred with coating of grease, and this
encourages an accumulation Of mani
fold microbic material, some Of which
may prove to be Of a virulently fnfec-
tious nature.
Rifle bullets are practically always
sterilized by the intense heat develop
ed by the powder at the moment OF
their discharge. Their rapid progress
through the air while in heated con-
dition still further serves to cleanse
them Of any extraneous material that
may chance to have accumulated on
their surfaces. This cleansing process
is very effectually begun by the rifing
of the rifle barrel through which the
bullet forces it's way.
All of these favorable factors are
lacking in the case Of the revolver bull
let, and SO it is possible that in any
given case such a bullet may carry in
fectious material with it into the It's
sues. If this were in small amount ma
ture might effectually wall 1t off and
no serious consequences result. On the
other hand, such infectious material
might lie seemingly dormant for days,
but really slowly gathering strength by
multiplication, and when it's toxins
were elaborated in sufficient amount
they might paralyze protective chemo-
taxis and produce a septic condition

An evidence of higher civilization In
our universities is seen in the fact that
Cornell has adopted resolutions against
all petty and indiscriminate rushes.
The single rush which is to take the
place Of its senseless predecessors is an
organized rush in which two teams of
fifteen men each endeavor to get pos
session Of q dag. The struggle is to
last only for a few minutes, when the
team having the larger number Of
hands ON the flag is declared the win
ner. This solution Of the rush problem
is settled in rational and democratic
way. The students themselves saw the
senselessness and brutality Of the old
sport and made their own rules as be-
comes citizens of a free government.
On the very day when Cornell reached
this decision the authorities Of McGiII
University, Montreal, met and decided
that undergraduate rushes must be
given up. 1t Is a significant fact that
the spirit of self-goyernment In the Uni
ted States accomplished in far more
creditable way the end sought to be
gained In Canada by law and external
authority
