THE SMOOT INQUIRY.

Washington, May 20. The Smoot
inquiry has been dropped until after
the November elections. 1t was. the
intention of the Senate committee, as
expressed many times, to go to Utah
this summer and examine witnesses
who could not be brought to Washing
ton. 1t is learned that the committee
has abandoned all preparations for the
westward trip and will not take up
the matter in any form until very late
in the recess.
1t is said to be the expectation of
those who are prosecuting the inquiry
into Mormonism to invite offers of
testimony in Utah which they could
never hope to get here. and so multi
ply in the record instances of plural
marriages since the Woodruff mani
festo and make an unanswerable accu-
mulstive record which will create
public sentiment to justify radical ac-
ton by Congress against the church
as factor in politics. This effort is
expected to arouse good deal of feel
ings in Utah and to have its effect on
politics during the campaign. and on
this account it has been thought best
to wait until after the campaign is
over. The inquiry would unavoidably
stir up feeling in Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming, where there is at present a
fair prospect of Republican success.

State. Only wiser and larger. heart

each new generation. In the hearts
of the boys and girls of our schools is
the future of Vermont. There let us
seek better things. There let us build
more stately mansions of civic good,

with dangerous and lingering sick
ness. He prescribed for me but his
medicine had no preceptible effect.
One day he pronounced my disease
chronic erysipelas and said it would
be long time before 1 would be up
and around.
Inflammation began on my face
and spread all over my body. My
eyes wero swollen and seemed bullying
out of their sockets. l WAS in a terri
ible plight and suffered the most in
tense pain throughout my body.
1.-THE doctor said my case was a
very severe one. Under his treat
ment, however, the Inflammation did
not diminish and the pains which
shot through my body increased in
severity. After being confined to bed
for two months under his care, without
any improvement, l decided to get

the second box had been used | was
surprisd to notice that the infamma-

agony had disappeared. After using
six boxes of the pills I was up and
