The matter of feed is Of
tremendous importance to the

get the most eggs. Science.

The happenings Of the public school
are always matters OF general concern
because Of the number OF people who
have committed to it the interests of
their children's education.
No institution Of modern life in
America at all compares in rapidity
of development with the public
school system, especially in those
states in which until recent years
that system was looked upon with
disfavor. Whether the public school
is to realize the high hopes of its
friends or to justify the gloomy pre-
dictiOns Of its enemies, it will take
many years of experiment to tell; but
it cannot be doubted that it has

He spoke Of man as a creator. God
left SO much for him to do in the
creation Of the universe. He started
things for man to follow. While
every thing works; the worms in

man alone works in intelligent part

Then, speaking OF the law OF the
Unseen, he said that the great prln.

in SO much as they are obeyed, and he
dwelt on obedience to the rules Of

much depended on the foundation.

great thinkers, but great heroes who

GoTcH WOULD BE A FIGHTER.
Champion Wrestler Says He Will &C
After Jeffries' Title.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 27.-From a
farmer boy to champion wrestler
Frank Gotch now aspires to be- cham
piot4 heavyweight pugilist, and he says
he is going after the title now held
by Jeffries.
Perhaps some people will grin and
smoker, but when Frank Gotch starts
out to do thing, he generally does it.
For a long time I have had this
move under consideration" says Gotch
Il have figured the whole thing out
carefully, and find that my chances OF
making a win of it are good. The
heavyweight championship is some
thing I would like to win. Some one
is going to get it sooner or later, and
why not me?
Il have beaten one after another un-
til finally the man with the title, Tom
Jenkins. Seven years ago was a
farm hand at my home in Iowa, when
got into an argument with Dan Nc
Leod. We went out on the hard Gin
ders and wresfled for two hours fo1
$50. 1 was farmer boy then-McLeod
was champion. He was the first and
not do it now. l have turned them all
on their backs, Jenkins and the whole
bunch, and there are no more. / have
accumulated wealth, and I could quit
If you think there's any one that can
wrestle, name him.
Now. let me tell you about Jeffries
| have fought some in the west, and in
the Klondyke, and 1 beat six men with
ease. I am no novice at the fighting
game. I will prove that later. Sup
pose 1 challenge Jeffries and then go
into training like 1 will. I will get
Kid Mccoy as my manager. He can
teach me the fine points have every
thing else, strength, weight, youth,
power, ability to punch and the game
ness to win, trust.
II am going back to Humboldt. Iowa,
to, adjust some of my property there,
get my ranch in shape. and then start
for California. My folks are going
with me. will go to Mccoy and make
him a proposition he can't refuse.
: Then I will settle down to hard
work to put myself In trim to do the
work I have cut out for myself-lift

ELDER IN REoRGANIzED CHURCH
SAYS UTAH CHURCH HOLDS
AWFUL SECRETS.
Threats of Victims Have Been Cut,
Hearts Torn Out and Bodies
Disemboweiied.

/, NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-"For forty
years the so-called Mormon church Of
Utah has carried on the awful secrets
of the endowment house. Threats of
victims have been cut, hearts torn out
and bodies lisembowelled in pursuance
Of the tenet of the church, which says
that the only way the wrath of God
may be appeased is by the shedding of
human blood. l have knowledge in
hand that they have. offered up human
beings in the endowment house."
This statement was made to a re-
porter last night by Albert N. Hoxie,
of Boston, who is an elder in the re-
organized church of Latter Day Saints,
the headquarters of which are at La
moni, Iowa.
Il have written a letter to the SEN
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tions at Washington, he continued,
advising them to call as witness
Joseph Smith, leader of the reorga-
nized church, son of Joseph Smith,
the prophet He knows of persons
who escaped from the endowment
house and the terrible fate that await
ed them and who fed from the state,
barely escaping with their lives. These
people could tell the committee some
interesting facts.
THE practice of sacrificing human
beings, I have reason to believe, is
going on now, only in greater secrecy
than ever. If the proper authorities
would go to Salt Lake City armed with
government search warrants, and
search every building, there is no
question in my mind but they would
run across some startling evidence
