MIR Cannon was shown a dispatch
from PhiIadeIphia where a mass meet
ing of women had been held to pro-
fest against Mormon polygamy. Among
those who spoke was Rev. w. r. Camp
bell, a missionary among the Mormons.
"This is simply" remarked Mr.. Can
non. "the attempt to keep up the
agitation against the Mormon church.
