that was never intended and is not
justified by the rest Of the article.
After further garbled items OF pre-
tended history, most shameful mis-
representation is made Of the bill which
was introduced by Hon. ABEL J, Evans
at the Legislature Of 1901. for the regu-
lation Of proceedings in criminal trials,
and which was a reproduction Of pro-
visions in the statutes OF many States
in the Union. Instead OF giving the
title or quoting from the bill, these
ministers cite comments Of preiudiced
newspapers which purposely distorted
the language and purport Of the meas
ure, It did not become a law, having
been vetoed by the vernon and was
not passed over The veto,

try which would take more space than

trouble to rarticularlze and expose. The
memorialists then allege that; This
crime is spreading into adjacent

impression that polygamy. which means
the marrying Of plural wives is thus

every wel.informed person in Utah and
the surrounding country to be utterly |
false and misleading.
The final assertion used as a plea for
the passage Of a Constitutional amend
ment is; The loyal people Of Utah arc |
helpless IN the hands Of the unscrupu-

becomes known how few is

scrupulous polygamists' today, when

THE MINISTER'S SECRET WORK.

We publish today the full text of a
memorial to the Judiciary Committee
of the House Of Representatives Of the
Congress Of the United States, adopted
some time ago by the Ministerial Al.
lance Of Utah, and presented to that
committee on February 18th, 1902 Thk
whole matter was kept in the dark by
the ministers here who refused to per-

light would have been let In upon their
misrepresentation and peryersions Of
the truth.
The opening statement in the me.
mortal is in effect a falsehood. "The
loyal Americans OF Utah are not en-.
gagged in any such work as that stated
by the ministers Perhaps they do not
count anyone In that number except
themselves. But We wish to say here,
that the great body Of the people Of
This state are quite as much entitled

is alleged TO prevail north and south

ARCTIC MEN TO DINE PEARY
Explorer Says Tic Discovered Most
NortherIy Land, but Regrets
Failure to Reach Pole.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-At a meeting here
today of the Peary Arctic club it was de-
cided to give Lieutenant Peary a dinner

Arctic work, both explorers and patrons
OF expeditions, will be invited to attend,
among them Sir Clements Markham. pres
ident Of the Royal Geographical society Of
England. the luke of Abruzzi, Alfred
Harmsyerth and James Gordon Bennett.
Secretary Bridgeman read a letter from
Lieutenant Peary, in which he expressed
regret at his failure to attain the pole, and
pointed out that among the discoveries
made was unquestionably the most nor
therly land on the globe. He said he
would transmit to the club a complete re-
port Of his work of the past four years,
accompanied by charts bearing the new
nomenclatures. which. he declared. were
his prerogative by right Of discovery.

LONDON, Oct. 1L-with the exception

A majority Of them advocate returning to

Major Evans-Gordon. NJ. p, who passed
his recess in travelling in eastern Europe,
where he studied the Jewish question. will
ask Mr.. Balfour Monday to submit the
papers concerning Mr.. Hays note on the

SAVE INDIANS FROM FRIENDS
Reservation OmceF speaks Of Harm
Done by Indian Rights
association.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Lieutenant
Colonel Randlett, in charge of the Kiowa
Indian reservation in Oklahoma, in his
annual report vigorously assails the Indian
Rights association and the government
board OF Indian commissioners
ut is apparent" he says. that the time
has come when the righteous should, in
praying for the interests of this agency,
plead God save them from their friends,
Uhe board OF Indian commissioner and the
Indian Rights association, the latter hav-
ing developed as allies of grating attorneys
who seem bent on robbing the Indians OF the
magnanimous possessions made for them by
the act OF congress Of July s, 1900
This has encouraged the constant de-
mand Of legislators and congress that the
possession Of the Indians be taken from
them and has engendered the want Of con-
hdence and distrust which is disturbing
the minds of the Indians"

APPROVE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
Chamber Decides Closing OF schools
Was Legitimate and
Proper.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE premier, NJ. Combes.
replied in the Chamber Of Deputies today
to attacks on the government for the man
ner In which the law Of associations had
been enforced. He maintained that the
closing OF Unauthorized schools was per-
fectly legal and the resistance ~instigated
by political agitators who deceived the
congregations regarding the law. He de-
MED that any children had been deprived
OF primary education.
we have reached a turning point in
our history" he added. THE country
would perish II we yielded to the congrega-
lions. We wish to arrest the monastic in
vasion and depend on the support of the
Chamber"
The statement was greeted with pro-
longed applause from the left.
The debate resulted in a vote OF conf
dence by S29 to 23s.
Premier Combes then presented a bill
empowering the government to repress the
attempts to reopen the closed congrega-
tional schools. The law OF associations
provides for the closing o. such schools,
but 1t does not provide for the prosecution
OF persons reopening them.

A ROARING SOUND
MRS. BROWN SAYS IT FOLLOWED
HER BY NIGHT AND DAY,
when sh = Discovered the Only
Way out OF Her Trouble.

The doctor who was called to attend
Mrs. Maggie A. Brown found her almost dis
tracted by a continual roaring sound in
her ears: her hands and feet were ice cold
and she complained of a splitting head
ache. He quickly diagnosed her troubles
as nervous headache. but. although his
skill was unquestioned. his medicine failed
to bring the desired relief. In fact II was
not until she tried Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People that she was cured.
Mrs. Brown, who lives in Austin. Mower
county, MINI, gives her experience for
the benefit of others who suffer. she says:
For the last ten years I had been trou-
bled at times with headache. cold extremi-
ties, pain in the back and an awful roar
ing in the ears. In January Of last year
my condition became so bad that the doe
tor was called. My trouble was .compii-
Gated with a disorder Of the liver. but
this seemed to yield to the doctors treat
ment. The ringing sound continued and
followed me night and day. The doctor
said II was caused by nervous headache.

did not stop aching. One day | saw DIR.
Williams Pink Pills mentioned in a news
paper and thought I would try them. The
first box helped me decidedly so | got six
more and by the time ! htad taken them
the headaches rarely troubled me and my
head felt good. The ringing in the ears
that had proved so annoying was gone. I
shall always keep Or. williams Pink Pills
on hand and gladly recommend them to
anyone afflicted as ! was. They are the
only thing / ever found that seemed ex-
actly suited for nervous headache"
Nearly everyone has felt symptoms OF
this trouble which Mrs. Brown ex-
perienced. In her case the disease was
neglected for years and became chronic.
Even innocent excuses cause nervous
headache and this is invariably the fore
runner OF a nervous breakdown. DR.. VIII
liarns' Pink Pills build up the blood.
strengthen the nerves and tone up the sys-
tenn. Taken in time they often prevent
serious illness. They have cured the most
obstinate diseases OF the blood and nerves
such as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis.

CLAIMS TREATY is ARRANGED
Newfoundland Believes Reciprocity IL
Assured. but Washington KNOWS
Nothing OF II.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Oct. lit is re.
ported here that Premier Bond has con-
cluded a reciprocity treaty with Secretary
Hay in Washington. The United States
government is said to be ready to sign this
treaty at once and to be only awaiting
the authority for the British ambassador
at Washington to afix his signature.
1t is feared here that Canada will pro-
test against the treaty, as it did success
fully in 1890. The British cabinet, how
ever, is pledged to permit N~ewfoundland's
treaty to become effective If ana is
unable to secure a similar one itself.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 17.-There is relia-
BILE authority for the statement that no
treaty has been concluded with Newfound-
land.
