Austrians from Minneapolis arrived in
Denver yesterday to work on the now
5Ioffat railroad and a carload is due to

1T has been our experience said an
employment agent, that the Austrians
and Swedes from Wyoming and MinnesO-
ia are the best kind Of men we have got
ten so far The colored men from Texas
and Kansas City can not stand as much
cold weather as the Austrians or Swedes
but, of course. we make no distinction
among them.
The coal fields of wyoming are being c.
serted by the Austrians who are focking
into the work on the new road. and the
river boats on the Missouri have been
minus many colored employees since work
began on the MOffat line.
Tents and bedding are being secured
with all possible haste. as the number OF
men now being put to work exceeds any
thing in the previous history Of Colorado

POLYGAMIST THEORY.
Opponents of Mr.. smoot Now Ask If
He Practices It, Too.

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 30.-Opinion in
Utah is divided as to whether Apostle
Reed Smoot will be seated in the
United States senate.
Now that a Mormon has been chosen
by the Utah legislature to represent
the state in the upper branch of con-
gress a more searching inquiry is being
made into the private record of the
man. Naturally the question which IS
arousing the greatest interest is re-
garding Mr.. Shoots marital status
Strong opposition is being formed
against the seating of the Mormon
apostle largely through the same agen-
cies which succeeded in barring Brig
ham H. Roberts from the lower house
of congress.
Mr.. Smoot is the son of a plural wife,
and he has never denied that he be-
neves in polygamy. Whether ne is him.
self a polygamist is another question.
It is certain that he is not living
openly in pOlygamy, as Joseph F. Smith
and nearly all the apostles are doing.
But the marriage records of the Nor
mon church are kept secret. and there
is no way of getting at them to tell
whether Reed Snoot ever took another
wife or not.
The Mormon practise of celestial
marriage" is peculiar, and many Nor
mons who say they are not polygamists
have been sealed" to one wife for
.
Marriage for the next world only is
common. The Mormon authorities as
sert that it does not apply to this world.
but the Utah supreme court recently
decided that marriage ceremony per-
formed only for the next world con-
stituted a legal contract
1t is a general belief among Nor
mons that in order to reach such a
high office as apostle, a, man must be
a polygamist. Since the Smoot agita-
ton this has been officially denied but
the fact remains that in numerous in
stances men have been kept out of
high offices because they We're not
polygamists.
Not long ago a devoted Mormon, who
had only one wife. was selected as
president Of an important stake He
was requested to take another wife AS
a condition to his receiving the office
He declined to do this, and he was
kept out of the position.
A prominent young Mormon was
nominated to a place on the bench 1t
was stated that he was a mOnogamist
but since his election it has been dis
covered that he has four wives, and
all taken since the famous manifesto
of Wilfred Woodruff, advising lIor-
mons to obey the law.
Despite suspicion which has been d.
rected toward Reed Smoot. no con-
elusive evidence against him has been
produced. The apostle lives in the city
of Provo. about an hours run by train
from Salt Lake. With his wife and
five children he occupies a neat brick
residence at the edge of the city He
loves his family, his business and his
church. He can drive a shreWd bar
again and tell a good story, and en-
joys listening to one He is energetic
and ambitious, honorab bic in his bust
ness dealings and methodical in his
habits.

Mr.. Nudge Says There's No Truth in

General Manager H. L Nudge denies
absolutely the reports sent out from AIbu-

1t was asserted that Mr.. Nudge would

WHO DOESN'T OWN IT.
Some Interesting Data About the
Brazos Road.

Cleburne, Tex, Jan. 3O.-From a
standpoint of elimination, the Trinity
and Brazos Valley road is to be the
property of the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn. The fact that the Frisco has a
Southern outlet shows that it is not
likely to be this roads projection The
fact that the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, the Cotton Belt and the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe roads have
been fighting the Trinity and Brazos
Valley road at crossing points shows
that it is not either of these roads. The
fact that the Chicago. Rock Island and
Texas has been preparing its right of
way from Dallas southwark shows that
1t is not that road The fact that the
Southern Pacific wants a feeder in the
central and northwestern portion of the
state leads all to draw the conclusion
that the Southern Pacific will own the
Texas and Brazos Valley when it is
completed from Mexia to this point It
is evident that the road will not stop
here, though it is now claimed that it
will
