WONDERS OF SURGERY;
Discounted by a Marvellous Remedy
for Human Ills.
Mrs. Frances Catalan, Of Virginia
City, Nevada, has a Remarkable
Experience Life Saved
by an Indian Remedy.

Newspapers never seem to tire of
publishing wonderful stories about the
marvels of modern surgery. One man
las a section of his spine removed and
= carefully modelled silver vertebra
substituted for the natural bone.
Another mas his whole stomach re-
moved and put back again.
Wonderful as are these performances
Of men of science, a remedy which,
without fuss or bo Their, goes straight
TO the seat of disease and cures it is
still more wonde rful. We are apt to
overlook means which work quietly
and give credit to extraordinary means
of procedure.
1t is certain that the North American
Indians, children of the forest and
plain, possessed many valuable secrets
of nature for the cure of disease. One
II these secrets, preserved for I'M
counted generations by the Kickapoo
Indian Tribe, is now a permanent part
Of the worlds medical knowledge, and
known as the Kickapoo Indian Sagwa.
Thousand all over this state are being
benefited by its use.
Here is a sample letter from hundreds
received:

Is there any reason to believe that
your experience when taking Kickapoo
Indian Sagwa will be any different
from Mrs. Cahalan's? No, certainly
not. If Sagwa can cure her, it can
cure you. The question is will you
rive it a chance. Sagwa is sold under
positive guarantee, your money re-

NOTES ON THE

Status of the Trade Given By

man

Receipts of cattle were light and
the few on sale brought fully steady
prices. Hogs sold a little stronger
from s7.15 to s7.35 the bulk at 1920
O. 1927 1-2. The sheep market was
nominally unchanged.
Beef Steers-There was good, strong
healthy tone to the fat cattle market
all week and this has been due in a
very large measure to the reduced
receipts. Prices have advanced stead
lily under the influence of a good de-
mand from both dressed beef men and
outside buyers, until the market for
the ordinary run of cattle is fully a
quarter higher than it was at the low
point last week. AS usual at this time
of the year the demand has been best
for the handy light and medium
weight beeves, and these have shown
the greatest improvement, all classes
of this kind. A rather discouraging
feature of the market has been the
more or less Indifferent demand and
unsatisfactory prices for the good
heavy cattle. Liberal supplies of this
character at all points, and the some
what unfavorable condition of the ex-
port trade have created a very weak
feeling in the market for the heavier
cattle, so that well finished beeves,
weighing around 1,400 pounds and
upward, are commanding only a small
premium over the lighter grades, in
fact, the range of prices for beef cat
tie is smaller than it has been for ove
a year. 1t takes something fancy to
bring over S.. 90 now, while there is
little of any consequence that sells
under the 81 90 mark. Good 1850 TO
], 400-fb beeves are selling at 81 40
q 400, and common warmed up and
short fed grades around $4.15 @4.35.
Sheep-The sheep and lamb market
was in a very satisfactory condition
last week. During the first half of
the week prices gradually firmed up,
but the latter part of the week the
demand for the common to medium
kinds slowed up. The following are

PLEADS EoR HIS LIFE.
Peter morensen Makes Passionate
Appeal to Judge for New Trial

Peter mortensen Makes Passionate
Appeal to Judge for New Trial
Before Judge Morse in the district
court In Salt Lake City on Saturday.
Peter Mortenson. convicted of the
murder Of James X. Hay. was sen
fenced to be executed on Friday No
vember goth. when. unless a further
stay is granted. he will be shot to
death. the condemned man having
chosen that mode Of execution.
When the Judge commanded the
prisoner to stand up and receive sen
tence. and asked II he had anything
to say az to why sentence should not
be passed. Mortensen replied that he
had. and for an hour and hve minutes
addressed the court making an earn
est appeal for another trial, declaring
that he had been uulusty convicted.
that he was the victim OF prejudice
and manufactured sentiment ana that
he was entirely innocent OF the crime
He made the declaration that the
press and sharp's revelation were re-
sponsible for the public sentiment
against him which resulted In his con
ylction. and declared that n gwen
new trial he would surely prove his
innocence. In his opening statement
he said: Il have the best reason In
tho world to offer why ! should be
granted a new trial. The best reason
In the world that man can ofer for
new trial is that he Is innocent OF
the crime charged | have that reason
and | have other reasons. In the hrst
place 1 have not had fair trial. The
presumption OF innocence Is with a
man until he is proven guilty, but not
once during my trial was that pre-
sumption given me-"
In speaking OF the revelation testi-
mony Of James Sharp. father-in'law OF
the murdered man, he scored the dis
trlct attorney for allowing the wit
ness 10 have been placed upon the
stand. He said he saw the faces OF
Tho Jurors, Mormons and non.Mor.
mons alike. light up whom the reveal.
ton testimony was given. Ridiculous
Il seemed TO him that man should
have revelation from God as TO
where the murdered body OF his son
was lying, and then not go at once
TO the spot. Sharp. he said, had taken
street car and gone up town with
his daughter, instead OF going TO the
grave.
In closing Mortensen said:
my life is at stake and ask you
as n Christian man to give II oonsid.
Grafton. ask you in all candor 10
give me another chance to prove my
Innocence, and / say I'll do H." He
asked the court and the people Of the

parents, but at the same time not W

is all I have TO say"
On the day set for the execution.
Mortenson will pay the penalty for
tho crimo OF which he has been con.
Victed, unless a certificate of probable
cause is issued by Judge Morse or
one OF the supreme Justices, and this
Is not regarded as probable.

WV va W'AN NNN'f'SN'Os
The president has practically com.
pleted his message OF presentation to
the extra session OF congress. II deals
entirely with reciprocity and the Gu
ban treaty. II is understood that the
president goes quite extensively into
reciprocity as a general principle, and
It's possibility to correct the acknowl-
edged evils OF the present tariff.
As to the ratification OF the Cuban
treaty. Senator Burrows. who led tho
fight against It two years ago. when
Il was defeated. now asserts that he
believes there is no great amount OF
opposition TO the idea. and he says
that he thinks the treaty is going to
be acted favorably upon.
The senator. however. is OF the
opinion that more opposition could
be expected from the planters or
Louisiana and the beet sugar men OF
the east Representative William Al
len Smith. who led the sugar forces
in the last fight, however, has assert
ed that the beet sugar men do not in
tend to put up any opposition. all OF
which would Indicate that reciprocity
IL going to be much In evidence at the
extra session.
