March 10th, 1904.

Now we are fright in town. our
new lnter-urban electric railway is

If tell you that we have the best
electric line and cars in the United
States, what will you say; another

that it is the best, you can't prove
that it is not the best. Any way it
is lust splendid. The road comes
from San Jose: it is just ten miles
from here to the heart of the city.
The track is broad, gauge, and the
road bed solid enough for any train
of steam cars to run over. The
cars are the very up-to-datest that
there are made; they look like Pull

FIVE YEARS.
Peter RinsIer and OTHERS Receive
Sentence. 49,

Saturday afternoon those who
we're to be sentenced for their i]leg-
! al acts were brought before the
court.
Peter Ringler for assault with a
gun on Mrs. Schmeiser was given
five years in states prison, the max
imum penalty. In passing sentence
Judge Brown said defendant, Ring
Ter, told the most disgusting story
he had ever heard, and severely
scored him for the crime and his
attitude.
VIM. Soehner, OF Kilian, was also
severely scored for his violation OF
the law, illegal selling of liquor
where he had a wife and six child
rem. He was fined 500, costs s9.35
and 30 days in Jail, and 100 days in
jail if fine was not paid.
Louis LEM, Soehner's clerk, was
given the same sentence, but the jail
sentence was suspended on his good
behavior Judge Brown said he
would not have made the fine so
large but thought Soehn or would
help pay 1t and wanted him to feel
the burden Of the penalty.
Hugh jackson and Chas. Ander-
son we're sentenced to pay fine of
$50 and 80 days in Jail, but sentence
was suspended and they were re-
leased,
Attorney Crandall asked the court
if he would not in some way fix
Soehner's sentence so he could go
home to his wife who was sick and
that she was an innocent party and
would be one that would suffer
most. The Judge said IN all cases
of that character the innocent suf-
cred and declined to reduce the sen
tence,. but said he had no objections
to the Sheriff taking the prisoner to
Jail by the way of st. Kilian. 49,
Court adjourned until Tuesday
afternoon when the question Of a
new trial in the Krause case will be
considered.

Geo. w. Lear is here with his son
Louis, looking after the repairs of
the hotel. Two car loads of new
furniture have been received. A
large new range is being put in.
The dining rooms and other rooms
will be&replastered. All the rooms
will be painted and papered, in fact
the house will have a thorough
overhauling from basement to the
roof and furnished new throughout.
Mr.. Lear is putting IN nice furni-
ture, better than the ordinary. He
says he is furnishing it for home
for himself and family as we'll as
hotel as he expects to make this
place his future and permanent
home. He would have returned
here two years after leaving if he
could have secured possession of the
hotel.
He will accommodate few roomers
in day or two, but does not expect
to open for regular business for a
week or ton days. Says would like
to have two or three months time to
make repairs. 1t will be remem-
bered that when he first took poss-
ession of this house he gave it a
thorough and complete overhauling
putting it in better shape than ever
before.

FROM UTAH.
An Outline of Mormon Religion
By Fred Cone.
Mapleton, Utah.
March II, 1904.
Editor Advance,

Editor Advance,
Dear Sir: In previous letter
1 referred to the Smoot investiga-
ton as likely to prove enlightening
to the country. It would seem like
ly from what has been SO far
brought out, that the true condition
OF. affairs in Utah will be shown to
the American people at this time,
and that it will be shown that this
state is under the absolute DONNA
ton and CONTROL OF the Mormon
Hierarchy as has already been prov
ed that the principle and practice of
polygamy is still among the Nor;
mons. st t E*5F % ~
What will be done by congress af-
ter this showing is matter of
much conjecture here among the
non-Mormons. Some 60 so far as
to say that the right Of statehood
will be taken away. Certainly the
unseating of Senator Smoot, who, by
the way, is a representative of the
more progressive Mormons, will not.
touch the root of the matter, which
lies as 1T always has and always will
in the teaching and practice of
polygamy. Without polygamy the
Mormon church would be Hamlet
with hamlet left out. The Mormon
key to theology teaches that Heaven
is the home of the gods, that the life
of the gods is like a human life, only
on higher plane. The gods are
beings having bodies, parts and pas
sions, as do men, Each god has
plane, or world in some part of the
universe to people with his progeny
who to complete the cycle of their
development, and become gods
themselves, must. be born as men,
and the God of this world has so
many souls Of children by his polyg-
nous wives waiting to be born into
our world, that he bestows the high
est favor and exaltation in the fut-
.ure life, upon those who by polygA
nous marriage made it possible for
those waiting souls to be horn. Be-
sides this in the Mormon temples
the wives are married for time and
eternity, and the polygalnist has
that much of start for his Heavenly
harem. Every one who has lived in
Utah any length of time knows
that the >Mormons consider the
manifesto merely as a suspension
under compulsion, of the privilege
Of going into polygamy, and look
FORWARD to the time when the insti-
tuition is to be restored. One of my
nyighbors said to me ''You can't
if we get the majority and
restore polygamy for this is gov
eminent by the people.
III It is in the opposition that poIyg-
amy provokes from the outside
world, that this doctrine plays
most directly into the hands of the
Hierarchy. There are devisive
forces at work in tho Mormon
church that would split it into
factions if it were not tor this OPP
position. loyalty to their church
under persecution, has been their
principle theme Of those Mormon
services that 1 have attended, and
