Of Interest to Parents.

In buying a cough medicine to be
administered to children and per-
sons who are of a delicate con-
stitution, parents should avoid
buying those bad tasting syrups
that nauseate the stomach and dis
turb the digestion. Many of such
medicines contain opium and other
Supplying drugs, which are dan
gerous, as well as unpleasant.
There is one medicine sold by Jos.
Bennett which is free from all such
objections. It is Harris Honey and
Horehound and it may always be
relied upon to speedily cure Coughs,
Colds, Group, La Grippe and all
Throat and Lung affections. Large
bottles Csc, SOC and $1O0.

THATCHER HAD TO COME DOWN
Signed a Statement Admitting That He
Had Been All Wrong.

Signed Statement Admitting That He
Had Been All Wrong.
He said it was well known that the
apostles were working against Thatch-
er, their object being to prevent a di-
rect blow at the principle that the
quorum of apostles could control the
action of one of their members. The
Mormons, he said, were responsible for
to a question as to what happened to
Thatcher as a result of his diSObedi-
ence, Critchlow said a declaration OF
principles was submitted to Thatcher
for his signature, but he refused to
sign.
In the succeeding year he was sum-
moned before a council and tried and
acknowledged that he had been wrong
and he retained his good fellowship,
but is not now an apostle, and has
not been since the episode. Thatcher
was compelled to subscribe to a state
ment that he was wholly in the wrong,

spirit was broken completely by his
conflict with the church,
In response to an inquiry in regard
to Thatcher running for the senate on
a platform not in harmony with the
church, Critchlow spoke of the infu-
ence of apostles, giving as an illustra-
ton that the apostles gave out the in
struction that 1T is the will of the
Lord that you vote the Republican
ticket this time" Critchlow said the

Negro Arrested for Advocating Retaiia-

Springfield O., March 1.-THE race
disturbances which have terrorized the
town for the last three days are held
well in check by the state militia, and
the authorities are of the opinion that
no more troops will be needed to con-

The police have arrested a negro

MINERS STRIKE rs OPPOSED
National Officers of the u. Nj. w. Urge the
Men to Vote to Accept the Opera
tors Offer.

indianapolis, March II. - With the
ballots that were sent out to the U.
M. w. locals which will vote next
Tuesday ON accepting the offer of the
operators went out a circular letter
from the national officers recommend
ing that the offer be accepted.
The general tenor Of the argument
Of the officers is that it will be bet
ter to accept than to engage in an
exhausting strike that may go against
the strikers; that the country is ON
the crest of an industrial boom, with
a period of depression in front; that
it is folly to strike on a declining mar
ket: that there is not much to gain
even in winning strike, and there is
much to lose in losing one. There
fore the miners are urged to accept
the reduction rather than engage in
q strike at this time.

CONsPIRED TO EvADE THE LAW
Influence of the Church on the Utah Polit-
icaI Situation.

Influence of the Church on the Utah Polit-
ical Situation.
Critchlow gave long statement to
show that the Mormons continued to
create the sentiment that the laws
were being obeyed, but in secret prac-
ticed polygamy, and that the church
was irreconcilable to new conditions
and it's members were conSpiring to
evade thelaws. He said that in the first
state legislature i'm 1896, when he sat
as a member, there was a disposition
to send all legislation to the Mormon
church to see if it were proper to enact
it.
Critchlow said a letter had been sent
out by the church which had the pur-
pose of dividing the people as equally
as possible between Republicans and
Democrats, so as to maintain reserve
which could be swung either way in
the interest of the church. The church
afterward denied this letter, but Moses
Thatcher continued working in the in
terest of the Democratic party, and in
the autumn of 1896 carried ON an ac-
tive campaign for election to the Unit
ed States senate by the succeeding
legislature.
This campaign was in conflict with
the wishes of the members of his
quorum of apostles, and he was finally
dropped. 1t was taken up as church
matter and, said Critchlow, "the edi-
torials in The Deseret News declared
that the church had right to interest
itself in the election for the United
States senate" Thatcher continued in
the field up to the final result of the
contest, which ended in the election
of Joseph l.. Rawlins as senator.

mitted to the Members-Case
of Thatcher.

Washington, March IL. - Andrew
Jensen, assistant historian Of the Nor
mon church, was the first witness in
the Smoot case and gave an elaborate
explanation Of the machinery Of the
church. Among other things he said
he had never known Of prosecution
of polygamist who continued to live
with plural wives he had married prior
to the manifesto of 1890. He said that
if Mormons should turn informers
against polygamist under such con-
ditions-against President Smith, for
instance - such Mormon informers
would be odious in the sight of most
members of the church.
Ex-District Attorney Testifes.
The most important witness heard
was e. b. CritchlaW, ex-United States
district attorney for Utah, and one of
the protesters against Smoot. He told
of prosecutions against Mormons for
unlawful cohabitation, and the con-
viction of over 1000 men for that Of
Tense. He said an opportunity was
given by the courts to the persons
convicted to escape Jail service by
promising that in the future they
would obey the law, but the chance of
escaping punishment was not accepted
generally, only three persons comply
ing with the ruling of the court.
Removed for Accepting the Terms.
Continuing, he said: Among these
was Bishop Sharp, a director Of the
Union Pacific railroad and an old man,
who accepted the terms and was
promptly removed, that being under
stood to be the policy Of the church
where the doctrine of the church was
not upheld by members" The wit
ness told Of a visit to the prisons by
Caleb w. West and his offer to inter
cede for pardons for the prisoners. The
offer was refused.
