CHURCH LEADER BURIED.
Impressive Ceremonies in Famous
Mormon Tabernacle Over Remains
of Late President Snow.

Salt Lake City, Oct. IA. - The
Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day
Saints, commonly known as the Nor
mon church, on Sunday paid it's last
tribute to the remains of its late presi-
dent, Lorenzo Snow. The great popu-
larity and clerical eminence of the de-
ceased drew to the city Mormons from
every corner of the state as well as
many Gentiles who had known and re-
spected the dead leader. From seven
until ten o'clock it is estimated that
more than 1000 persons, including
practically all the venerable leaders of
the church, viewed the remains at the
Snow residence. Promptly at ten
o'clock the casket was raised by the ~
apostles and borne to the tabernacle,
where not less than 10000 people had
gathered to witness the funeral cere-
monies. The service was one of i'm
pressive simplicity, the absence of
ritual, the earnestness of the speakers
and the beauty of the floral offerings
and decora lions of white drapery
trimmed with pale green leaves, COM
bining to form a scene seldom wit
messed in the historic house of wor-
ship. The tabernacle and temple
choirs, combining over 500 voices, rem
dered several numbers between the adj
dresses. At 1890 the tabernacle serv-
ice concluded and the procession was
formed for the Oregon Short line de-
pot, where the funeral party left for
Brigham City, where interment took
place.

PRAISES HIS CHIEF.
Capt. Cook, of the Brooklyn, Says
SchIey Was Brave and Patriotic.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Monday in the
Schley court of inquiry Judge Advocate
Lemly concluded presentation of testimony
for the government and the first of Admiral
Schleys witnesses was introduced. Capt
Francis A. Cook, who commanded Admiral
Chen COMMODORE Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn, during the Santiago campaign,
and who acted, though unofficially, in the
capacity of chief of staff for the commo-
dore, was on the witness stand the greater
part of the day.
Capt. Cooks testimony was a review of
the entire campaign after Cervera's fleet,
beginning with the departure of the flying
squadron from Key West May 10 and
concluding with the battle off Santiago July
g. He said that at first it had been be-
lieved by both Sampson and Schley that the
Spanish fleet was in the harbor al Cienfue-
gos and that no information to the con-
trary had been conveyed to Comodore
Schley until the arrival of Capt. McCalla
on May "a; that 1t was Commodore Schley's
expectation to meet the Spaniards in the
open sea, and his constant care was to
have coal enough for such emergency
Just before the Schley court of inquiry
took a recess for lunch Mr.. Hanna asked
Capt. Cook: what was the conduct and
bearing of Commodore Schley under fire
on such occasion as you had the opportu-
nifty of observing?"
81 always regarded him as an enthu-
siastically brave and patriotic officer;
never in any other way" replied the wit
ness.
Capt. Cook also testified that he Cook
gave the order for the Brooklyn's loop
at the battle Of Santiago and that he con-
sidered the movement eminently success
full.
Capt. Cook was followed by Lieut. Com
mander William F. Fullam, who was Sc
nior watch officer on the New Orleans dur
ing the Spanish war, and former Lieut.
Joseph Beale, who an officer on the Har-
ward, translated the cipher dispatches be-
tween Commodore Schley and the navy de-
partment carried by that vessel Among
these dispatches was that sent by Commo-
dore Schley May %, expressing his regret
of the department, and explaining the rea-
son why he could not do so. There are
some verbal discrepancies between the
original draft of this dispatch and the Off
cial print of it; and these Mr.. Besle ex-
planned
Lieut.. Beale was the last of the govern
ments witnesses, although Capt. Lemly
explained that he would reserve the right
to call others If occasion should demand
that he do so. He had no sooner retired
than the first witness for Admiral Schley
was called. This proved to be the Cuban
pilot, Edwardo Nunez, who told Schley on
May 26, 1898, that he did not believe the
Spanish fleet under Cervera was in the har-
Dor at Santiago.

MRS. MADISON'S CASE.

Polk City, Ia, Oct. 14.-For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth P. Madison,
q respected lady of this place, has
suffered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange-
ments of the bowels and liver.
rheumatism, another painful result
of deranged Kidneys, added it's tor
lures to her burden of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also
exhausted their skill, but all to no
purpose.
At this stage of the case a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re-
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box
an improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted in a
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created de-
cided sensation in the neighborhood
because of the complications of the
case as well as it's severity and ap-
parent hopelessness.
Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills are found to be the only rem
edy that has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy and these
hitherto incurable diseases are read
lily conquered by this remarkable
remedy.

blockade of Havana, Admiral Sampson be-
ing satisfied that the information concern
ing the presence of the fleet at Santiago
was correct. The admiral accordingly had
called up the Hawk and forwarded his dis
patches to Commodore Schley.
Capt. Lemly: Tell the court fully from
what source the information was received
concerning the arrival of Cervera's fleet
in Santiago. l would like you to identify
the dispatch put into cipher at that time,
to which you refer"
1.-THE dispatch 1 referred to as having
been drawn up by Capt. Chadwick in my
presence is the dispatch known as the
memorandum that accompanied dispatch
Number 81
Can you give me any subsequent dis
patches or memorandum that passed be-
tween Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley in reference to the Spanish squad
ron being at Santiago?"
81 do not think 1 can refer you to any.
After Admiral Sampson heard that the
fleet of Commodore Schley had not left
Cienfuegos, in other words, after he got
a reply from the commander of the flying
squadron, he sent the Wasp, I think about
May &c, to Cienfuegos with an additional
dispatch, but she, of course, did not arrive
there until Commodore Schley had left for
Santiago, and 1 do not remember what
those dispatches were"
SIMPSONS Dispatch.
After further effort on Mr.. Rayners part
to elicit information as to correspondence
between the two commanders and objec-
ton on the part of Mr.. Hanna to bringing
in dispatches which had no immediate
bearing upon Commodore Schley's con-
duct, Mr.. Rayner said there was no COM
munication between them between May q
and May q. He then quoted the dispatch
of May q as the first positive knowledge
conveyed to Commodore Schley of the
presence of the fleet at Santiago. This
dispatch was as follows:
United States Flagship New York, st.
Nicholas Channel, May o. 1S9S.-Sir Every
report, and particularly daily confidential
reports received at Key West from Havana,
state Spanish squadron has been in San
tiago de Cuba from the 18th to the 25th
instant inclusive, the 25th being the date
of the last report received. You Will please
proceed with all possible dispatch to San
tiago to blockade that port. If on arrival
there you receive positive information of
the Spanish ships having left, you will
follow them in pursuit Very respectfully,
w. T. Sampson"
When 1t Reached SchIey.
Mr.. Hanna: What is the first positive
order?"-
Mr. Rayner: MAY o."
Mr. Hanna: did he receive it on the
27th?"
Mr.. Rayner: "He never received it on the
9th (after being prompted by Admiral
Schley). He got it on June 10.'
Mr. Hanna: How is it possible then he
can be affected by an order after all that
lapse of timer"
Mr. Rayner: THAT is just what we want
to prove, that he had no orders except
those contained in dispatches Numbers
and g."
At one o'clock the court adjourned until
Monday.
