YOUNG WAS DEFIANT.
Diary of Mormon Leader Has Bee:
Made Public and Given
Limit.

Salt Lake, Jan. ga portion OF
Brigham Youngs' diary has just come
to light fer the first time. 1t is written
In the Mormon leaders well known
handwriting and its authenticity is un-
questioned. The document which was
written during the turbulent DAYS Of
1857, contains many bitter denuncia-
lions of the United States government
and breathes a spirit of vengeance.
Here is an extract:
July 12-I wish to avoid hostilitiea
with the United States, but before I
will see the Mormons suffer as they
have done I will draw my sword in the
name Of Israel's God and permit the
bones of myself and family to bleach
with those Of my brethren and sisters
on the mountains n say to my breth-
ren, Let DIR sword fall upon our enc
|.snies.'"
July pa said if General Harvey
Game here I should know the intention
OF the government, and it was carried
unanimously that If Harvey crossed
the South Pass the buzxards should
pick his bones. The feeling OF moboc-
racy IL rife IN the states. The constant
cry is XIII the Mormons.' Let them
try it.
August 2o-The United States
really seems determined to make an
eruption with us. Well, they must
abide the consequences. When I
tered Salt Lake City, July "a, l847. I
remarked that IL the devil will let us
alone ten years we will bid them def-
ance / feel the same way now. / DEFY

Best In the World.

Estlerville, Ia. Feb. 1st.--Mr.
George j. Barber of this place says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
medicine in the world. There is moth
ing as good. l had been sick for over
10 years with Kidney Disease which
finally turned into Bright's Disease. L
was treated by Doctors in Chicago, but
they didn't do me any good. The best
Doctor in Baskerville treated me for
five years with no better success.
heard Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
made up my mind to give them a trial.
II am very thankful to be able to
say that they cured me completely and
I think they arc the best. medicine in
the world"
The honest. earnest. straightforward
experiences of real living men and
women are the only material used in
advertising Dodd's Kidney Pills. One
such testimony is worth more than II
thousand unsupported claims. The pco-
pie who have used Dodd's Kidney Pills
are those whose evidence Is worth con-
sideration and surely nothing can be
more convincing than a statement like
Mr.. Barber's. There are thousands OF
others Just as strong.

WRIGHT KILLED HIMSELF
Inquest Develops That the Great SWIM
dler Took Poison.

der TOOK POISON.
London, Jan. 29.-The post-mortem
examination showed that Whitaker
Wright committed suicide by taking
cyanide of potassium.
The inquest over the remains of
Whitaker Wright, who died suddenly
yesterday after being sentenced to
seven years penal servitude for fraud,
is TO be held tomorrow. The tragic
event is the one topic of interest and is
everywhere discussed In all its fea-
lures.
Opposition papers continue making
trenchant on the government,
which they say declined to do its duty
for reasons now shown to have been
absurd in law and which are always
repugnant to common sense.
The handling of this matter" says
the Westminster Gazette. has reflected
more discredit on the government than
greater consequences. Distinguished
people are involved and some of them
have had happy escapes"
The Financial News on his point
says: Wright might have made dis
closures which have seriously discom-
forted some people, but he was loyai
as we'll as courageous. and he carried
Others from divulging what he chose t.
conceal he destroyed many papers, thus
completing his sacrifice"
Investigation indicates that Wrigh,
must have swallowed the poison while
standing before Justice Bingham, after
receiving his sentence. 1t is recalled
that Wright pulled n handkerchie.
from his pocket and appeared to wipe
his face, and it is surmised that unde'
cover of this he took the fatal dose.

A PEEP|NG WOMAN
SPED ON THE ElkS
How Mrs. King Glanced t.
Know All the Secrets Of
the Lodge Room.
NOW SHE WANTS TO JOIN
Thinks the Order Will Have to Taxi
Her In or at Least Make Her an
Honorary Member Lest She
Tell About 1t.

Seattle. Wash. Jan. pa woman has
forced upon the lodge of Elks at Bal
lard, a suburb of Seattle, the peculiar
alternative of admitting her to the sa-
cred precincts of lIlkdom or acknowl-
edging that she is in reality a full
grown Elk, though she is not a m
of the lodge. The reason is that the
ms Mrs. IneZ King, wife of a drug
gist, Il. Ii. King, has seen the initiation
of fifty Elks, and has overheard
through al open window the ritual and
forms. until she knows all the cere-
monies by heart.
Mrs. King lives in the second story
of q building separated by a few feet
from the Elk lodge room in another
building. When her husband was in
itiated, Mrs. King became too curious
TO restrain her impulse to bridge the
narrow space with II board. She stood
on this board watching the ceremonies
and all the doings IN the lodge room
whenever the lodge met, for IA period
of eight months.
The husband was the most mystified
of all as he learned of his wife's knowl-
edge. He returned a wise smile to her
seemingly innocent inquiries at first.
but he 500 found that she knew as
much about his own Initiation as he
did.
1T IA just as Il joke that did it,
said Mrs. King. Il didn't mean any
harm by it. but l couldn't bear to let
ny husband know all the secrets of the
lodge room without j knew them, too.
H. was so easy to put a board across to
the opposite window sill that 1 could
not help it. l memorized all the ritual
and 1 know all the signs and grips as
well as any Elk. They must either make
me an Elk or recognize me as an hon
Or2ry member"

erai Tibetan books on philosophy. medi-
cine, astronomy and history. besides COL

With ST. Louis Fair.
st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 29.-In the list of

Morocco probably will be missing. Sec
rotary Stevens states hat 1t is not ex-
pected hat Morocco will officially par

with $50, 900 appropriated.
According to the information received
by the exposition officials from CoM
missioner j. w. S. Langerlnan, who re-
Gently returned from a mission to Mo
rocco, being empowered as the sultan'S
commissioner on his return, the amount
appropriated by hat %potentate was
$50, 900. Anent this appropriation an in
teresting story is told by Mr.. Danforth,
assistant to Commissioner Langerman.
The amount was not given with very
good grace. according to Mr.. Danforth,
who quotes the sultan as follows:
Here is $50 200; take 1t and do what
you please with it. / don't care whether
you use 1t for the worlds fair or put 1t
in your w pocket. 1 don't know
where St. Louis is, except that 1t is
somewhere in the United States, and
don't are. And please tell President
Francis. whoever he is. to stop writing
me letters about his fair as l am tired
of getting them"
Mr.. Danforth says hat the money
was brought to Tangiers by Langerman
pnd deposited there. Being in silver, II
required a caravan of about twenty
mules to transport the money through
he desert. When counted 1t was found
to be all good money, however, with
h exception Of some $500 In counterfeit
pfeceS.

London Spectator: Sooner Or later ii
would happen that a case would be
won by some theatrical exhibition on
the part of a woman who had depended
for winning her case, not on the
strength of her logic, but on the at
Effectiveness OF her appearance. and TIE
power she possessed of making an APP
peal difficult to resist. When once such
a case had been won, the great object
of intending litigants with weak cases
would be to obtain the services, not of
hard-hearted. men, but of beautiful
women to plead their ause. In pass
ing, of course. 1t may be pointed out
that this would be rather hard on c.
less beautiful of the lady barrister's
learned friends, who might even be
found to complain that 1t was no use
trying to get on at the bar unless you
were at least as beautiful as "that
odious Miss A.. not that 1 can I'M
derstand what the juries can see in
her." and so forth.
Other disadvantages incident to the
competition of women with men barris-
tiers are not lard to point out. 1t would
be much more difficult for instance-or.
rather, 1t would be at all events much
more Misrepresentation an opposing
counsel to deal incisively with a woman
brfefed against hin than with a man.:
it is ever conceivable that now and
then a judge might feel some compunc-
ton in addressing himself sternly to a
lady protesting overmuch. There would
be a false atmosphere of Unnecessary
p~oliteness about the whole business.
We would be the last In the world to
try to close to women n to a live
lihood proper TO their sex: and SO far
as the law is concerned. we see no par
ticular reason why a capable woman
should not make a good solicitor. But
she could never make q barrister; her
personality would always be more In
sistent than her arguments.

r. R. EARNINGS OFF.
Cold Weather in December Caused a
Large Contraction in Them
for = T;re

Chicago. Jan. 9.-December earnings of
nearly all the roads centering in Chicago,
which have issued statements, make a
poor showing. Large decreases are re-
ported by the Rock Island and other big
systems, and these would have been still
larger If great economy In operating eX-
pcnses had not been practiced.
The principal reason for the poor show
ing Is the unusually severe weather that
has prevailed during the month, which not
only retarded the movement of rains,
but greatly increased the cost of opera
ton.
1t is admitted. however, that there has
been Il great reduction in merchandise
traffic for which the weather was not re-
sponsible. But railroad officials say that
this is only temporary, and that when
spring business opens up merchandise
traffic again will be as heavy as ever.
Fear is expressed. however. that business
this year will not be so heavy as last, be-
cause generally dun conditions prevail
during presidential years.

UNDERGOING
A GREAT CHANGE
Settlement Of the Land West Of
the Missouri River Is Prov

SADDLES OUT OF DATE

Pierre. :. d.. Jan. 2S.-Regardless OF
what tho land Office records may show,
and whether the claims that all the set
Element west of the river Is only evil
denced in those records, the following
from n of the range papers is some
thing In the way Of evidence. THE sad
die appears to be rapidly going out of
date In this country. In its place we
see the top buggy and the stirring pillow.
Only the future can demonstrate the
wisdom of the change. but i. Is a condi-
ton that now prevails. nevertheless. a
few months si.ce and almost any at

So ddle horses hitched to the railing
along Main street. Today there is not
a saddle horse to half a dozen wagons
and as many buggies."
Besides such reports as his coming
from Oacoma, reports in the newspaper
service from Presho. Earling and other
range points contain items of what the
residents of those sections are Irepar-
ing to do in the way of crop work he
coming spring. with the building of
houses and the sinking of wells on the
homesteads. While, as there. was ia
the early settlement of the whole of
South Dakota. there are many who are
simply figuring on getting through.
there are hundreds OF others who are
just as good In their faith as any of
the old-time settlers. and they will be
found making their faith good all over
the country west of the river. with the
breaking plow n corn field this year.
Another item Is the fact that ranchers
are complaining that the homesteader
has incroached upon their range coun-
try to such an extent that large ranges

large cattle firms have beer compelled
to remove to South America. where
their operations will go or undisturbed
