turned to TOmkins' lumber camp. seven
miles northeast of this place. late at

stupidity drunk. At 3 o'clock in the
morning fire was discovered, and as
the campmen were without means of
fighting the blaze the buildings were
burned to the ground.
Their fellow workers were aware
that the two drunken men were in their
hunks, but they could not get near
enough to arouse them. Both were
found in the ruins afterward, the bod
les being burned beyond recognition.
The only way that the bodies could be
differentiated was by a comparison OF
their sizes.

four boys took the examination, and
OF these only one had averages high

Nelson said that this was the usual
result in examinations in this state:
that there seemed to be a decided
aversion among the better educated
boys of the state to enter the army,
and that he was positive from what
he had learned that the avoidance of
the examinations by this class was di-

Witnesses in SmOot Contest Tell of
POIygamOus Prac-
tices.

Washington, March 10.-Several Of
ficials of the Mormon church testified
in the Senator Reed Smoot case be-
fore the senate committeeon privileges
and elections, that they had plural
wives and had continued to practice
pOlygamous cohabitation since the
manifesto of 1890 Smith was re-
called and stood by his statement that
although cohabiting with wives mar
ried before 1880 WAS the practice, no
plural marriages. had been performed
with the churchS consent since that
date
Loren Horner, an-ex-bishop, said he
had been prosecuted by Smoot for liv-
ing with and having children by
woman who was not his wife. He
complained that Smoot had been too
strenuous in the prosecution, hurrying
his arrest before he had been given
time to arrange his affairs. Nothing
sensational was brought out during
the day.
The prosecution stated that it had
IS) more witnesses ready to put on
the stand on account of the failure of
several summoned officials of the Nor
mon church to appear. President JO-
seph +. Smith was asked to use his
influence with the witnesses and prom
ised to get into communication with
them if it was possible to do so.

three hours, and the arguments COW
cred mainly the previous ground of

the principal opposition speaker. drew
from Premier Balfour the admission
that he had withdrawn the memoran-
dunn presented TO the cabinet advOcat-
ing preferential thrills and Il tax on

quith. and repeated his statement that
Il general election must Trecede any
fundamental change in the fiscal pol
icy.
He said he did not believe the coun-
try would accept any fiscal arrange
ment with the colonies involving the
taxation of food. and contended that
Unionists who desired to go further
than that were entitled TO their view,
but that they need not therefore vote
against the government Prizes mo
tion was finally rejected by 2S9 votes
