The closing day Of 1908 found the
Legislature still unable to do business
on account Of the absence of members.
The system adopted of calling the roll
in the House increased the attendance
there, but the body was still ten votes
short of quorum. The Senate, which
had sixteen members ednesday only
had fifteen Thursday and the body adj
journed until to-day almost immedia-
tely after being called to order The
House followed suit and tits now the
impression that neither branch will
secure working majority before Mon
day, January 4, which leaves JUS
eight working days before the session
expires by limitation.

THE CASE OF REED sMooT.
Inquiry Before the Senate Investiga-
ton Committee Brings Out Facts
Concerning Mormonism.

Washington, March 1.-THE Reed
Smoot hearing yesterday brought out
the fact that the Mormon church insists
on controlling the votes of its members.
Andrew Jensen, assistant historian of
the Mormon church, testified that he had
never known of a prosecution of polyg-
amist who continued to cohabit with
plural wives he had married prior to the
manifesto of 1885,
Washington, March 12.-The only
witness on the stand yesterday in the
investigation of the Smcot case before
the senate committee on privileges and
elections, was e. B. Critchlow, former
assistant United States attorney for
Utah. He continued his history of the
Mormon church
Washington, March 14-That Reed
Smoot could not have been elected to the
United States senate without having first
been chosen as an apostle of the Mormon
church and that after he was so chosen
he could not have been defeated, was as
serted by Judge Ogden Hiles, assistant
United States attorney from 1886 to 1890
and later a judge of the district court of
Utah, who was a witness Saturday in the
Smoot case before the senate committee
on privileges and elections. The COM
mittee adjourned subject to the call of
the chairman.

RIVERS OVER THEIR BANKS.
Destroy Immense Amount of Property
and Make Many Persons Home

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 1.-THE
city of Wilkesbarre and the Wyoming
valley have suffered immense loss by
floods. At Plymouth the entire BUSH
ness section Of the town was under wa

capped the flood and as a result the
merchants have lost thousands of dol
lars worth of goods.
At Middletown between 700 and 800
houses were surrounded and could only
be reached by entering the second-story
windows, and many houses were en-
tirely ruined.
Summing up the situation in brief

been destroyed in the Wyoming valley

"Again the gorilla made an advance
upon us. Now he was not twelve yards
off. His face was distorted with rage
His huge teeth were ground against
each other so that we could hear the

drawn forward and backward rapidly,
making his hair move up and down
and giving a tiendish expression to his

which shook the woods like thunder.
It seemed as if I could feel the earth
trembling under my feet. The beast,

A Blow at Grafters.

If present plans carry, the grafters
of Minnesota will have a hard time
during the approaching campaign to
mulct the many candidates out of the
price of drink of beer Or whisky, or
keg of beer or ale as the case may be.
It will also be tough shedding for the
gentlemen who are always just a little
short on ready cash just about the
time the candidate puts in his appear
ance and wants to negotiate loan of
five or ten for few days, and then for
gets to pay it back.
When the members of the Minnesota
delegation in congress return home af-
ter the adjournment they will hold
meetings in their respective districts
which will be attended by all the can
didates for nomination on the Republi-
can ticket. They will devise means
whereby they will be protected from
the 'grafters'' who are always about
during campaign.
It is stated that the Democrats in
Minnesota intend to adopt a similar
plan.

A Queer Accident.

An accident occurred to a logging
train near Burwell that has proved
more serious than the first report sug-
gested. One of the cars broke in two
and the front part derailed, the engine
dragging it for distance of between
five and six miles. One of the wheels
on the front truck was broken off, and
the engine dragging it over the ties,
caused it to act as huge saw or knife,
cutting off the ends of the ties in
pieces about foot long and hurting
them upon the track in front of the
car. This went on for the entire dis
lance between BurweI and the North
ern Pacific junction before the engineer
noticed it, cutting off the ends of over
10000 ties.
The story seemed almost incredible,
but is nevertheless fact. All travel
over that piece is necessarily slow,
while all freight traffic is suspended.
1t will take several days to repair the
damage.
