pleases. but that each must bear the consequences of his acts. He said that was his view. He explained at length the manner of sending out missionaries and said poIygamy was not talked and DoIygamous cohabitation had never been talked of at a conference at which Nr. Shoot was present.
 At other meetings he had heard dis cussed the question of a continuance of 5Iural marriages and the apostles had taken steps to prevent it. Polygamous cohabitation. he said, had not been con- sidered.
 When he (Smith) went on foreign mission to Great Britain he had been fn- structed not to discuss polygamy. He never had discussed it as an apostle, bu. when he was missionary he had told certain persons who assailed the doctrine that it was a teaching of the Bible and had ended the controversies by referring the persons to the Bibles so they could judge for themselves"
 Senator Hoaar: Did you commend upon prospective converts the rule of your church against polygamy?"
 T always refrained from arguing on Dolygamy"
 Thomas A. Merrill. son of Apostle Merrill, said he had two wives, and that he had six children by the first and four by the second. The youngest child by the second wife is three years old. His second marriage took place in the Lo- gan temple in 1885. where, he said, he promised to love, honor and respect the woman and treat her in every way as a wife. He said he does not know wheth- CT marriages performed in the temple are recorded. He has performed two ceremonies himself and has kept only an individual record. He did not use the same service twice. he believed, and in answr to Senator Hopkins said: T have looked for a prescribed formula so- marriages but never found one.n
 Alma Merrill, first councillor to the Benson Stake, said he has two wives, one of whom he married in 1885 and the other in 1886. His wives are sisters, Esmeralda and Rebecca Hendricks. By the first, he said, he has seven children, and by the last, eight children, and three others had died.
 The prosecution had no more wit nesses ready to put on the stand. The names os Apostles Merrill, Teasdale, Taylor. and Cowley; Samuel Newton, J. E. Tanner and Moses Thatcher were read and they failed to respond to their names. President Smith was asked to do all he can to induce these witnesses l to respond to sumlnonses.
 At the request of Attorney Taylor for the prosecution the committee went into executive session and the testimony in the Teasdale divorce case was read. Ii was agreed that counsel for and against ] Senator Shoot should endeavor to come i to an agreement on a statement of facts in the case. Consideration was given tc l the proceedings in executive session be- cause of the unprintable character oi the testimony and a dislike on the part of the committee to spread the facts be- fore the country. The committee ad- journed until tomorrow.

 The ice began running early in the afternoon at Catawissa and moved for an hour and then gorged again. The Pennsylvania railroad bridge over Cat awissa creek went out this afternoon, taking with it four large steel cars. The Second street wagon bridge was also swept away. This was the last bridge remaining on Catawissa creek.
 At 10 o'clock tonight report comes from Sayre, Pa, that the ice broke at IS o'clock and that a ninety-six mile gorge was on it's way down the stream.
 Thousands have been thrown out of work.
 Harrisburg, Pa, March 9.-Aftermath flood conditions are so serious in this vicinity that Burgess Whistler of Mid- dletown. has asked aid of this city for the relief of the people who have been rendered homeless. The citizens have re- sponded and in addition, the Dauphin county commissioners have appropriat- ed $500 for immediate relief. Over half mile of the town is cov- cred with ice and silt from two feet to fifty feet deep.
 Between seven and eight hundred houses are surrounded and can only be reached by entering the second story windows. Many houses have been en- tirely ruined while others have been lifted from their foundations and their
 contents lost.
 In Harrisburg things are improving
 rapidly Nearly all the people forced to leave their homes have returned and all industrial plants were running to- day. The river is receding rapidly at this point and is far below the danger line. No additional trouble is antici- pated unless strangely unforeseen com- plications develop.
 | Sunbury, Pa, March 9.-At Il o'clock tonight three spans of the wagon l bridge over the Susquehanna river at | this place were washed away, carrying 1 telegraph and telephone wires with it. thus cutting off communication with | towns in the flood-stricken district. The 1 floating spans of the Danville bridge did not come down the main channel being carried to field half mile | away. The water here reached a fif- teen-foot mark and is now slowly fall | ing. At Danville there is twenty 1 seven-foot flood and all the farm land 1 between here and there is inundated l Many buildings were badly damaged by the huge stacks of ice, but no loss oi
 life has been reported. At 11:3O the
 river here was clear of ice. This leads
 to the belief that the gorge at Kipps Run has broken.

Lew Dockstader and His Excellent

 Last Night.
 Lew Dockstader and his great min strel company certainly gave one of the best and most complete minstrel per- formances ever witnessed in this city at the Hyperion last night. The show this year is a positive return to the old time, old-fashioned minstrelsy, which delighted every one and was genuine source of wholesome amusement None of the latter-day trappings in the way of fancy costumes, powdered wigs, lzIickerbockers and other paraphernalia which have characterized most min strels for the past few years Is intro- duced, but in the first part every one appears in full evening dress, and they last night made a striking appearance. The jokes are, for the most part, origi- nal and up to date, the songs of the latest and sung by vocalists of ability. The end men are very funny, Lew Dockstader himself being the stellar attraction. Neil O'Brien was decidedly novel and very funny Carroll Johnson and Max and Ed Ford assisted in the humor of the first part.
 In the second part the cadet band of the Imperial Boy Hussars, Neil O'Brien and MT. Dockstader were the leading entertainers MT. Dockstader, with his airship and his lobster mobile, was ex- ceptionally funny. All of his talk was concerning local affairs or affairs of

The Teacher Won.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 2.-For over two
years two OF the best physicians in
this part of the State have been treat
ing Mr.. E. ]. Thompson, a popular
local school teacher, for Diabetes.
They told him that but little could be
done to help him. He made up his
mind to try a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:
They saved me when the doctors
held out no hope. l took in all about
ten boxes. | will always praise Dodd's
Kidney Pills for the great good they
have done for me-"
Many people. and some physicians,
still persist in the belief that Diabetes
is an incurable disease. Our teacher,
Mr.. Thompson. says it is durable, for
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after
two good physicians had treated him
tor two years without success.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes
will surely cure any case Of Kidney
Trouble.

Photography Has Twice Doubled the

The idea that the spread of photoe-
raphy could do severe injury to the
trade in commercial fertilizers. and es-
p~ecially to the conversion If raw phos-

sigh absurd.
Yet so it is. and in this way. Phos-

acid will dissolve most metals as cas-

almost the only metal upon which It
has no effect.
Sc, in spite of their great cost, man
ufacturers have generally employed
retorts made of a platinum alloy for
the concentration of sulphuric acid.
These retorts used to be made in Paris
and cost $500 to $4,000 apiece.

MORE SHELVES FOR BOOKS.
British Museum Is Adding to Its Many
Miles of Bookcases.


Although the British museum al
ready contains more than three miles
of bookcases another addition is about
to be made to the department of
printed books. The new building will
be a fve-story wing 300 feet long, har-
morizing in architecture with the Gre
clan style of the museum, and will be
situated on the north side of the
present building. 1t is estimated that
the cost will be about 1000. 600, of
which s250,o00 already is in the hands
of the trustees.
Since the completion of the perma-
nent buildings in 1S47 the trustees
have been obliged to enlarge the Ii
brary space several times to keep pace
with the constantly increasing litera-
turo and the needs of the readers.
The original library, numbering so, 1000
volumes, which came as a part of the
bequest of Sir Hans Busk, the Chelsea
physician and a~ntiquary. has now
reached the million mark. Last year
alone 2S,140 new volumes we're added
and 100000 newspapers and similar
publications.
