We date the beginning of the growth of the Candy Store from the day we threw out all cheap candies and devoted our attention to the problem of selling the very best goods made in the country for lower prices than other people sold them. The result is that we have secured the trade of the most fastidious candy-lovers in town, and yet almost all our prices arc special when compared to the usual figures on the same makes and qualities.
 Our speciality is chocolate. and we sell more chocolate goods than any two other stores in this city People who saw the box we sold last Satur-

SIMPLE FAITH OF THE POOR,
Peasants Decline to Produce Passion
Play at St. Louis Exposition.

Munich. AFTER all the efforts
made TO induce the peasants OF
Oberammergau to 60 to the St. Louis
Exposition they finally refused thu
offer. The celebrated Passion Play
will not be seen at the big fair.
There is no doubt that if the play
ers had agreed to 60 to America
their managers would have made
big fortunes, and the offers that
we're made these poor peasants
" ould have enab bled them to live Ia
comfort for the rest Of their lives,
but in their decision, which was
unanimous, they considered it sinful
to try to make money from a re-
'ligious play in which the suferings
of the Savior are shown.

operations will shortly arrive here to
shadow MAJ Zeitler, an expert heral-
die engraver. Not that Mr.. Zeitler
has done wrong, but he is about to
cut the great zeal Of the United States
and the Government, during this pro.
cess, employs greater force of in
spectors to keep an eye on the single
workman than in the construction of
q SIS, 900, 900 battleship. The firm to
which the contract for the seal
has been let was compelled to name
the engraver when it bid for the work.
This exaction is required SO that the
necessary protection may be afforded
to the design which is expected from
Washington in a few day for the guild
ance of the engraver. The new seal
also will be carefully guarded. The
present seal has become SO worn by
years of constant use that the new one
will be completed to replace it as soon
as possible.

WILL EXPEL
THE MORMON
Missionaries From Government
OF Prussia
BECAUSE OF POLYdAMY
Which is not Excluded From Their Doc
trines.--Teachings Against the Moral
Laws of the State---Simply Police
Measure.

Berlin-The governments of Prus-
sia and of the grand Duchey of Neck
lenburg have decided to expel the
Mormon missionaries, of whom there
are 145 in Germ any and 80 in Prussia,
on the ground that they are preparing
a form of religious belief incompati-
BILE with the laws of the state and
public morals, and because polygamy
Is not excluded frono their doctrines
The missionaries, who are Americans,
will be allowed sufficient time to set
tie up their personal affairs.
None of the Mormons have yet been
deported.
The government of Prussia defines
the expulsion as being simply police
measure for which no legislation need
be made. Peter Lantensac, German
naturalized in Utah, first organized
missionary work here in 1896. He
was succeeded in 1899 as bishop by
Arnold Schultheiss, a Swiss natural
lied in Utah, who directed one hun
dred missionaries. Hugh J. Cannon
replaced him in 1900, and the latter
has steadily increased the numbe. of
Mormon preachers and has nearly
doubled the membership, which is
now 4, 900. When Mormon arrived in
. German village he would rent hall
and begin to preach the new faith,
and the common result was that the
local pastor of the State church or the
Catholic priest would complain to the
police, who not infrequently ordered
the missionaries to leave.
