some distinguishing exterior trait or at
least produce that effect by the applica-
ton of paint and gaudy apparel.
When the town clock had finished
striking the hour OF IL the president was
still speaking and it was II is before the
special train had pulled away from the
station.
The city was decorated in an elabo-
rate manner, hundreds of yards of red,
white and blue bunting having been used
in the streaming of the large business
blocks along the avenue. Nothing of an
unpleasant nature occurred during the
morning to in any way mar the pleasure
of the occasion. The efforts of the exec
utive committee, working in conjunction
with the city authorities to endeavor to
carry out smooth program were re-
warded and every one feels that the time
and expense gone to in arranging for
even SO brief reception was well spent.
Herewith is the presidents speech:
"MR. MAYOR AND YOU MY FELLOW
AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS GREAT
STATE:-It is with greatest pleasure that
l come here this morning to greet you.
wish to say as l usually do at these
meetings just word or two of special
greeting to certain bodies of your citi-

of the great war, the veterans of the

rather less to preach than to learn be-

true of the men of the Grand Army, for

gave us the example to- which we must
try ourselves to equal, and after thank

comrades Of that war, we tried to show
that we had not forgotten the lesson
taught us by the men of '6l to '65, the
men of the great years of Abraham Lin

pass by in your street here the monu-
ment raised to those who in the Philli-
pines gave the last possible proof of de-
votion to their country, when they laid
down their lives for it. And now, hav-

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov 1.-THE
labor unions of Salt Lake have de.
clared war on the Mormon church in
situations, and a fight to a finish to
compel the Mormon enterprises to rec
ognize union labor will be made.
The first move in the fight was the
action of the local branch of the In
ternational Typographical Union,
which was taken Monday. BY resolu-
ton it declared the Deseret News,
which is the official organ of the
Mormon church, unfair, and forbade
any local union official and all local
newspapers to exchange matrices or
type with the News The Mormon
church is bitterly opposed to the prin-
ciples of trades unionism and has for
hidden its members to join the
unions

Paine'S Celery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inhammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results 1t is the only
medicine that prevents a return of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
DO not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. d. Conway,
ST. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says;-

exception of three years, have served in the

with the idea of having nothing left

ency to pay funeral expenses. She
says that each night she dreams of a

AMERICAS STUDENTS.

Probably the most important docu-
ment of last week was the report of
the federal commissioner of education
for the year ending June 80. This
report filed during the time of cleo
ton excitement has not attracted the
attention that it deserved. There
are many lessons that can be drawn
from the work. 1t is shown by the
report that the total enrolment of the
common schools of this country was
nearly l6, 600, 000 or more than one
fifth of the entire population of the
United States in itself To this great
army of school children add the en-
rollment of the private schools, high
schools, academies, and special edu-
cational institutions such as business
colleges, and the total is IS, $50. $40
pupils, or very nearly one-fourth of
the total population. The students of
the colleges and universities of the
country and the great number of
teachers are not included in any of
these figures so that if all the inhab.
itants OF the United States who are
either students or engaged in the in
struction of others are taken together
there is over one-fourth of the whole
citizenship included
This is stupendous fact That a
nation of eighty millions of people
can have twenty millions in school
either as scholars or instructors is a
truth which no other country on the
globe can illustrate. Therein lies the
hope of the future of this country and
the continuance of free and popular
government. The education of the
masses is the way to put them be-
You'd the influence of the demaogue.
