MORAL OBLIGATION
Though Not Bound By Law to Support
 Plural Wives and Their Children.

Salt Lake, Utah, July 15.-According to d decision of the state supreme court a man is under moral but not legal ob- legations to support his plural wives and educate his children by such union.
 The decision was rendered on the case from appeal from the Utah coun- ty district court of a suit for separate maintenance brought by Mary Caroline Riddle, a plural wife of Isaac Riddle.
 The supreme court is of the opinion that notwithstanding that a celestial or plural marriage is one of the essen tial tenets of the Mormon church, the legal status of marriage exists between parties who in Utah before the enact ment of any statute upon the subject, though members of that church have made d contract of marriage in which they mutually agree to assume and observe the legal obligations of that relation. and in pursuance of that agreement openly cohabit as man and wife and hold themselves out to the public as such. But in the absence of such an agreement the legal status of marriage cannot arise."
 It was shown during the first trial that Riddle married Mary Caroline in the temple at Logan, Utah, in the fall of 1886, while he was lodging deputy United States marshals who had a war rant for his arrest on the charge of polygamy, Riddle already having two plural wives.

was as great surprise to administra- ton officials in Washington as it was to the members of parliament in Lon don. No information that such a step was contemplated has come from the admiral commanding the American fleet in the Philippines waters and no exploitation on the lines indicated has been directed by the officials here 90 far as could be ascertained tonight.
 A very plausible explanation of the reported occupance is that the com manding officer in the Philippines sim ply had sent one or more of his vessels and hoisted the flag of the United States over some small islands near the coast of Borneo which were purchased by the United States from Spain sub sequent to the treaty of Paris and that the sovereignty of the United States over them had been proclaimed formal ly. These were the Cagayan Zulu group. comprising one large and four teen smaller islands and the larger isl- and of Palawan.
 These islands were not comprehended within the boundaries of the Philippine archipelago when the treaty of Paris was signed. The claim was made later that they rightfully belonged to Spain and that they were formally ceded to the United States by the subsequent action of that government and our congress made appropriation and paid the purchase price agreed upon for them

Owens was named by the Belknap forces, while Charles Bianfor,i received d large part of the combined strength of the Wilson and Pratt forces. The result was a vote of l.5sl to 675 in favor of Owens. This vote cast in the co5test for governor would enable Belknap to win. even if he should lose the contested LOuisvills delegation of 249 votes.

Where one has never made the eX- pertinent of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum it is still easy to learn all about it by reading the experiences of others.
 Drinking Postum Is a pleasant way to get back to health. A man of Lan- caster. Pa. says: My wife was'a vic tim of nervousness and weak stomach and loss of appetite for years and was q physical wreck: although we rcsorted to numerous methods of relief one of which was change from coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
 "We knew coffee was causing the trouble but could not find anything to take it's place and cure the diseases un- til We tried Postum Food Coffee. In two weeks time after We quit coffee and used PostUm almost all of her troubles had disappeared as if by magic. It was truly wonderful Her nervousness was all gone, stomach trouble relieved. appetite improved and above all d nights rest was complete and refreshing.
 This sounds like an exaggera ton, as it all happened so quickly. but we are prepared to prove it. Each day there is improvement for the better for the Postum is undoubtedly strengthening her and giving her rich red blood and renewed life and vitality.

 The decline was especially note worthy, however. in such stocks as St Paul, New York Central, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific Missouri Pacific, U. $. Steel and General Electric.
 In the last half hour the covering of shorts and investments by bargain hunters were responsible for partial recoveries in many issues. and complete recoveries in a few, like St. Paul, which increased .fractionally above Tuesdays quotations.
 A distinctly unfavorable impression was created by the announcement of an issue of short time notes by the Union Pacific to the amount of $10,000, 000 also smaller loans by several other railroad companies. Following the borrowing by the Burlington the action of the Union Pacific and other roads in going into the market for money natur- ally affords ground for uneasiness in special articles. particularly as the companies are forced to pay stiff rates for their accommodations.
 It is believed that the Union Pacific announcement was an important fac tor in the demoralization and that the new demands of the various railroads for money were. responsible for the liquidation of many stock market ac-' counts al serious losses.

~ ONE, July 15.-One of the doctors in attendance on the && pontiff gave the Associated Press correspondent a. graphic but horrible word picture of Pope Leo as he appears today.

A gIayish pallor 'overspreads his coun- tenance. but the most noticeable ravage wrought by his present disease is the dropping of the lower jaw. which has made the pope's features take on the fixed rigidity of death.
