No Consideration for Public.

''All this would come with better grace
from them" says the letter, IF they had
shown more consideration for the gem
eral public, TO whom the law was equally
new. and who had less chance to study
1t than those paid to carry it into effect
properly. II would have been more hon
est to enforce the law somewhat inn
perfectly for the first year. than to en-
force it. as they now confess, excess
sively, so long as error was to be COM
mitted one way or the other. Every
Over-assessment is a robbery of the tax
payer. even though under the forms of
law.
A Damaging Admission
ITO have made the personal tax APP
praisers admit publicly that they have
done wrong, is worth the time and trou-
bic necessary for the purpose. II they
had said as much as this in the first
place. the matter probably would not
have been heard of further from me.

zens OF the District the sweeping in
dictment brought against the latter in

THE MORMON CONFERENCE
It Opened Yesterday at Salt Lake
With an Attendance Of
Fully $1,000.

Salt Lake Utah, Oct. 5.-The sew
enty-fourth semiannual conference Of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints. now being held in this
city, is attended by a greater number
Of Mormons than any similar gather
ing in the history of the church. Fully
$1,000 followers of Joseph Smith at
tended the opening exercises yester-
day. They filled the immense taber-
nacle and crowded the capacious as
sembly hall while open air exercises
were held for those unable to enter
either of these two buildings. -:
The principal speakers were Presi-
dent Joseph Smith, head Of the Nor
mon church, and Apostle Heber J.
Grant, who recently returned from a
mission to Japan. A general plan to
all saints to get out of debt and a
glowing description Of the hourishing
condition of the church were the
themes of the address by Mr.. Smith.
The progress of the church in Japan
and the advances the Inhabitants OF
that country are making constituted
the cardinal features Of the address
Of Apostle Grant. He said he sus-
pected that the attendance which the
missionaries have upon their meet
ings in Japan is due not SO much tc
the natives of that country desiring
to embrace the Mormon faith as tc
their wish to familiarize themselves
with the English language.

IT'S A MISTAKE
10 Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor Grades
of Coffee.

Many people lay all the blame for
the diseases caused by coffee upon the
poorer grades of coffee, but this is an
error as the following proves: II have
used every kind of the best grade of
tea and coffee that can be got from a
first class grocer, but never found one
that would not upset my nervous sys-
tenn and it was not until I began to
drink Postum Food Coffee in place of
coffee and tea that I had relief from
the terrific attacks of nervous sick
headache from which 1 had suffered
for thirty years. II,
II had tried all kinds of medicines
but none helped me.
"Soon after I stopped drinking cof-
fee and began to drink Postum the
headaches grew less and it was not
long until I was entirely cured and I
have never had a return of this dis
tressing trouble for nowadays I never
drink coffee but stick to Postum.
"As soon as my wife saw what Pos
tum had done for me she gave up cof-
fee which she had drank all her life.
This was six weeks ago, and she Is a
changed woman. for her nervousness
has all disappeared, her face has be-
come smooth and her cheeks have a
good, rosy red color. She sleeps well,
too, something she could never do
while she drank coffee. We consider
Postum a household necessity in my
house and have induced many friends
to try this wonderful food drink in
place of coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

BEAR IS WATCHING OUT
So Far, However, Japan's Movement
Of Troops Does Not Constitute
y an Unfriendly Act.

Paris, Oct. 5.-The Russian govern
ment has made it known that Japan's
mobilization Of troops for transporta-
ton to Korea does not up to to-day
constitute an unfriendly act against
Russia. At the same time the Russian
government is being kept fully ad-
vised as to the extent and nature OF
Japan's military and naval mobiliza-
ton. It appears from these official
sources that Japan thus far has en-
barked three divisions Of troops. The
Japanese fleet Is now between Che
mlilpo and F'usan. The ships con-
tinue under steam, but nothing Is
known concerning their purpose.
Baron de Rosen, the Russian min
lister to Japan, has returned to Toxic

Arthur last week with Adm1ra

to assume supreme control of Rus.

results of this conference are MOI

Clasping His Dog.
In clearing away the debris OF Lo-
gan's saloon, where William Vest was
killed, the rescuers came across a
strange sight. They were attracted to-
one side Of the ruins by the bowling
of a dog. When they dug down they
found Vest dead with the dog tightly
clasped in his arms. Several heavy
timbers had fallen across the young
man, apparently crushing his life out
instantly. The dog escaped serious

perience. She was sitting in one Of

She hurried downstairs, out Of the
building, a few seconds before 1t came

Into the Sea. 49,.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-The passage
of the American line steamship Wes-
ternland which has reached this port
from Liverpool, was marked by one
day Of wild excitement. Among the
t1remen shipped for the voyage was
John Greening. On Sept. 25 he sud
denly flung down his shovel, after
complaining of the heat, and, leaving
the stokehole, rushed up to the main
deck. Here he drew a knife and be-
gan to run amuck among the terrified
steerage passengers. shouting that he
wanted rum and would kill anyone
who refused to let him have it.
I A petty officer calling to couple
of sailors to help, started to catch the
.infuriated maniac, but Greening was
too quick, and f1inging his knife back
at the bewildered onlookers, took a
flying leap over the taffrail into the
sea. The body was not recovered.
