+ ator smoot a Factor.
Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 2S.-virtually
bankrupt few years ago, the Nor
mon church has prospered until now
it has again become rich. Announce
ment has been made that on January
Q the Church of Jesus Christ. the Lat
ter Day Saints, will pay OF q bonded
indebtedness of half million dollars,
in addition to $4,000 interest on the
bonds for the last six months of their
outstanding.
In addition to this large outlay the
church is preparing to use a large
sum in waging one of the most deter
mined fights it has ever undertaken.
That is the defense of Senator-elect
Reed Smoot. who. it is declared, must
be seated at any cost. The church
leaders believe that the Smoot case
will furnish the great test whether or
not the hierarchy Of the Mormons can
hope to participate actively in pol
itics.
Behind the election of Smoot to the
United States was plan far reaching
in its scope and ambitious in design,
only hints of which have leaked out
from the quorum of the twelve apos-
tles' and the FIRST presidency 1t
is known, however, to pertain to po-
litical aggrandizement and general ex-
tension of the influence of the saints.
The bonds that will be redeemed
within a few days are relics of more
than five years ago. In defending the
numerous prosecutions for polygamy
brought under the Edmunds-Tucke
act, and in other troubles, such as the
government confiscation of church
property, the treasury Of the saints
was badly depleted. Although these
funds were subsequently returned con.
ditionally, an immense loss occurred
in the interim. The church was heav-
lily in debt and money was borrowed
at high rate of interest.
Money From Tithes.
Lorenzo Snow, at that time presi.
dent of the church, an able financier,
succeeded in refunding the debt on q
per cent basis. That was five years
ago. Since that time the Mormons
have accumulated wealth, partly from
the tithing system, which obliges ev.
cry member to give one tenth of his
gross income to the church, and part
ly through the prosperity caused by
the influx of gentiles into Utah.

man Smith Intercedes.
Council Bluffs, .owa. Dec. 30.-An
attempt was made to lynch George
Williams and Nicely Zimmerman, two
colored men, charged with having
committed an assault upon Mesdames
Sanders and Stark last Friday night.
The men had been in court, where
they we're identified by the women,
after which they were held to the
grand jury that convenes next week.
At night mob of 500 men and boys
gathered about the Jail where they
were confined and demanded that they
be turned over by the officers. The
demand was refused. Until midnight
the mob increased in numbers, until
there were at least 1000 men yelling
and battering at the Jail doors with
clubs. Several times the police charg-
ed the mob, but they were unable to
break it up. Just after midnight, arm
ed with par of railroad iron, dozen
men commenced battering at the jail
door. A dozen blows shattered it, and
yell went up from the crowd.
Congressman Smith, who arrived
just at this time, managed to secure
the attention of George Sanders, hus-
band of one of the women assaulted,
and urged him to go home and let the
law take it's course. Sanders listened,
and then started for home. Congress
man Smith mounted the courthouse
steps and urged the members of the
mob to dispense, telling them that San
ders had already gone home. This had
the desired effect, and inside of half
an hour the courthouse grounds were
deserted.
The militia had been called out, but
the crowd dispersed before they ap.
peared on the scene.

why DO Many Fail.

Many people never get to the front
in the poultry business because they
struggle and work from year to year
only to be beaten again at the shows
and by practically some beginner, but
finally after losing five or ten years
time they find that their mistake was
in always buying something cheap in
stead Of paying a little more and get
ting good foundation stock. The
quicker man buys good birds to breed
from the sooner he Is started right in
the fancy and the sooner he will get a
share OF the business.-T. B. King, in
