OMNIPRESENT AMERICAN.

The recent death of Mrs. Mary A.
Livermore recalls her story that when
travelling in Europe man years ago
her party were having much trouble
in having some of their needs made
known to the hotel man. After trying
two or three European languages with
poor success they were about to try tc
write their request in hopes that it
would be more Ineligible when some
one asked the man:
D you speak English?"
Good Lord, yaas,' responded the
ma in evident relief. Il was born
and raised in Eastport, Maine, and
lived there till l was twenty-five years
old.''
This experience is met with by the
American traveller in all parts of the
world. The American is almost every
where. A friend of ours labored
through the question the party wanted
asked in school day French to, have the
answer come in ready American. How
good it sounded to persons who had
lost their way.

DESTROYING WOLVES AND
C0YOTES

From The Farmer and Breeder.
Through the efforts of DR.. M. e.
Knowles, state veterinarian, the state
of Montana, has adopted a law and
made an approximation With the view
of destroying the wolves and coyotes
of that state, SO as to protect the sheep
industry.
The plan is to capture or raise a
large number of puppies or cubs of
these animals, and infect them with
mango n then turn them loose. 1t
is thought that these infected animals
will communicate the disease to many
others of their species, and that many
of the animals that contract the dis
ease Will die during the coming win
ter when the weather is cold and the
feed scarce.
There is little question but what
many Of the wolves and coyotes, but
be confined to these animals. While
the mango is supposed not to be trans
MISSILE from Che anime family to
other species as sheep cattle or horses,
yet there is no reason for believing
that it will not be spread from these
animals to dogs, and from one dog to
another and to cats. But then this
might not be any serious loss to the
sheep man, for if most of the dogs
We're dead it would be a benefit to
them. On the other hand the disease
could be cured should a valuable deg
become affected. SO that it may re-
suit in the destruction Of a lot OF
worthless dogs as Well as coyotes and
wolves. However, the experiment will
be watched with considerable interest

IOWA MORMON KICKS.
Goes to Utah and Tells the Salt Lake
Mormons They Are a Disgrace
TO Church

4
Salt Lake City, July 4,-Frederick
NJ. Smith, grandson Of Joseph Smith,
founder of the Mormon church, has
created a stir here by the publication
Of an open latter in which he joins in;
the protest raised by citizens Of Yer
mont against the erection by Utah
Mormons of a monument to Joseph
Smith on a Vermont farm where the
prophet was born.
Frederick NJ. Smith, who is in Utah
conducting a campaign for the La
moni, Ia, branch of the church, Of
which his father, Joseph Smith, son
Of the prophet, is head, makes his pro-
test on the erection of the monument
by leaders of Utah Mormons, many
of whom" he says, "are acknowledged
law breakers and intend to remain
such. 1t would discredit the memor
of Joseph Smith i'll the eyes of the
world
The writer insists that the name of
Joseph Smith shall not be connected
with what he terms a disgusting and
revolving state of affairs which has
been revealed in Utah, and most posi-
lively asserts that the prophet never
.practiced or countenanced polygamous
relations fostered by the Mormons who
came to Utah under the leadership Of
Brigham Young.

"ClNCHEs" TRUST CASE.
w. D.. Miles, Former Armour EmpIoye,
Gives Most Startling Evidence.

Chicago, July New evidence. said
to be sufficient ito indict twenty-five
beef trust heads and employees" for
violation of the Sherman act, was fur
nished to the federal grand jury yester-
day. 1t was reported that the witness
previously had reported what he knew
to President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Moody.
The evidence was given by w. D.
Miles, until a year and a half ago a
confidential employee of Armour & Co.
in Kansas City. He is said to have
acted as the representative of Armour
& Co in the secret conferences be-
tween the packers which were held in
Chicago and Kansas City after the
Grosscup injunction was issued. After
leaving the company in a fit of rancor
he related the details of these meet
ings. He told what men We're there,
and where they met. His only condi-
ton was that j. Ogden Armour should
be held blameless in the matter.
Second Time Before Jury.
This information came to light when
Miles appeared before the grand jury
for the second time, after which he
held a long conference with District
Attorney Morrison. 1t practically was
the last day of the investigation, for
today the jury will consider the evil
dence with a view to voting the indict-
ments, which may be returned tomor-
row morning.
Miles was with Armour & Co. for
more than fifteen years. Both he and
his father had been favorites with
Philip Armour, and the son was pro-
NOTED from place to place until heswas
tntrusted with many of the most VAL
liable secrets Of the company. His
