Of course marriages are made
in heaven, but some of the trou-

vorce courts make it apparent that
the devil slips into heaven rather
frequently and helps tie some Of

The pen of editor Sjoblom of
The Teleg7au. Minneapolis, must
be made of red-hot iron with about
four thousand degrees of heat; and
not only this, but he seems to
carry around with him, several
tons of wit, humor and originality.
He's a corker.
Sonora Alvarado, of Mexico, is

! There are thousands of men in
this country who seem to be labor

dollars are ''big iron dollars" or
"cartwheels," while as a matter of
fact it is doubtful if a single one

by counterfeiters-nor do cart
makers ever use them for wheels.

In sermon preached in Salt
Lake City recently, Elder Rich
said Mormonism has been laughed
at and has looked danger in the
the face, but it continues to grow
throughout the civilized world,
that it has withstood the scorn and
ridicule Of every denomination for
more than half a century, because
it is the true religion. Being a
religion that makes mans daily
life better, he declared that Nor
monism can never be wiped off the
face of the earth, as it's enemies
would like to see.
A late issue of the Family Herald
and Weekly Star, Montreal, con-
tains an interesting editorial on a
measure dealing with the more eff
fective treatment of habitual GRIM
inals and aiming at the decrease
of criminal development of the
young, which the home secretary
has promised to introduce during
the next session of the British
Parliament It is a bill which
provides for plan of classical
ton. First offenders are to be
dealt with separately, SO as to pre-
serve them from the concentrating
influences of old incurable Grim
inals, and a new classification of
offenders and sentences will be
created. A novel feature of the
new plan is it's purpose either to
'mend or end'' the hardest Grim
inals. 1t proposes to establish an
industrial nalsettlementin which
criminals of the worst class may
be detained for indefinite periods.
but from which they may win their
way back to liberty by gradual
steps; and on giving satisfactory
proofs of their intention to lead
respectable and honest lives ON
their discharge. In this industrial
settlement the persons are to be
set to work on more or less con-
genial tasks. If unacquainted with
any trade they are to be taught
one SO that they may be in a posi-
ton to earn their own living ON
gaining their liberty. A small al
lowance in money is to be made
for their work and a portion Of
this will be set aside and handed
over to them at the time of their
discharge. Under due and careful
supervision a reasonable amount
of social intercourse will be per-
mitted; and it is intended that the
mental and moral needs shall be
intelligently cared for. Thus it is
hoped a healthy tone and character
may be engendered, while the de-
grading features of ordinary prison
life will be got rid of. The plan

SCHEVEER IN BAD SHAPE.

Little Rock, Feb. 15.-Judge Trieber has issued an order giving G. H. Scheveer, the former Montrose mer- chant, uutil Monday to pay over $15, ,6O7 61, the amount, it is claimed, he is securing from his creditors. If the money is not paid by Monday Scheveer will be sent to jail for con- tempt. The trustee asked the court to compel Scheveer to turn over S39 1000, which he was alleged to have in his possession, but the referee found that little over half of the amount was being held unlawfully by the erstwhile merchant. Scheveer was adjudged a bankrupt several weeks ago anc his accounts have been undergoing an investigation since that time, with the result that jail sentence awaits him unless he com plies with the courts order by Mon- day.

DANGER POINT REACHED.
Hot Words From Bush of Helena To Editor Mitchell of Arkansas Democrat--Lie is Freely Passed Bush Promis-
 ed to Be in Little
 Rock

Helena, Ark, Feb 14-The war be- ing waged upon Gov. Davis and his administration had a sensational con tribution from this city Saturday, when James R. Bush, of Helena, . member of the State charitable board under the Davis administration, sent to the Arkansas Democrats manager, William s. Mitchell, some of the salt fest correspondence imaginable. Two l telegrams and letter were sent by MT. Bush, the first wire asking MT. Mitchell if the editorial of the 18th in Democrat alleging rascality in the State institutions referred to the char itable board, and if so, who was per sonally responsible. Mitchell answer ed in lengthy telegram, when the Helena member of the board sent am other message to Mitchell saying the reply was unsatisfactory, and again demanding to know if the charitable board was included.
 A WARM LETTER
 Not receiving an answer to the second telegram, Mir. Bush sent the following letter:
 "Inasmuch as your editorial of the 18th instant makes a charge of rascal ity against persons connected with
 the administration and in charge of certain State instutions, and as I am on the board of charities, body that since my connection with it, and be- l fore that time as I believe, has been
 moved by the highest integrity in the
 discharge of its duties, and as your
 reply to my wire of this date, sent with the design of ascertaining wheth- CT your insinuation was aimed at this board or otherwise, is evasive anC
 unsatisfactory and reflection on my l personal and official integrity, unless l specific denial is made by you that my
 character is in no way involved, hereby and by this means brand the in 1 situation in the aforesaid editorial ai
 a cowardly and malicious attack upor l gentlemen who in all that pertains tc
 devotion to duty are your equals il not your superiors. So far as the
 charge may affect the State board oi
 charities it is cowardly lie, and I So
 brand it, and declare the author oi
 the article in the Democrat of the 12th instant, insofar as it may refer to the
 State board of charities, as malicious liar, coward and puppy will be
