a polygamous marriage in Idaho
since 1890, and did not believe
that there had been one. He said
that the younger element of the
Mormon church is unquestionably
against polygany and that the
sentiment Of the entire state is
unit upon that question. He was
asked whether or not the Nor
mon church attempted to infiu-
ence the election in Idaho and
said he did not believe that it
did. He produced the vote cast
in Mormon and Gentle counties
since 1898 and showed from this
vote that whenever there had
been a republican gain in the
Mormon counties there had been
a similar gain in the Gentle coun-
ties. He showed that the repub-
lican gain in the Mormon coun-
ties between 1898 and 1900 was
Ill per cent. while in the Gentle
counties it was 103 per cent, and
a similar uniform gain up to 1904.
In fact" said Mr.. French, the
gain is uniform the state over,
and l see no reason for saying
that the Mormon church has in
any way controlled the votes of
the Mormon people. 1t will be
noticed that the increase in the
republican vote is practically the
same in the Mormon and Gentle
counties; there has not been ten
percent difference in the increase
in vote, with the exception of the
vote on presidential electors, and
in that instance the difference is
in favor Of the gentle counties,
which seems to prove the opposite
of what Senator Dubois has stat
ed. 1t also appears that between
the years 1900 and 1902 there was
a greater gain in the republican
vote in the Gentle counties than
in the Mormon counties; while
between the years 1902 and 1904
there is not one and one-fourth
per cent. difference in the in
crease of vote between these two
sections Of the state" He said
that the republicans in Idaho and
in large part the democrats of
Idaho, as a whole, believe that
this whole question as it was
, raised in Idaho is simply a fake
question. They believe that
] the democratic party, under the
Leadership of Senator Dubois, felt
+ that they had no hope Of carry
ing the state upon the national
issues and resorted to this meth
cd in the hope of misleading the
,. people. President Roosevelt and
! the national administration gen
+ orally are thoroughly supported
9 by the people Of Idaho, and Mr..
Dubois knew that he did not dare
q to oppose Mr.. Roosevelt in the
campaign of 1904; and hence he
J. raised the Mormon question with
= the hope that he might secure
: the votes upon that issue. His
y reasons, in my estimation, are
political pure and simple.

REp ANTs IN THE WHITE HOUSE

When Mrs. Caroline Harrison was the first lady of the land, she gave the renovation of the White House her personal supervision, and some of her methods were unique. Mrs. Ben But terworth tells story of one of her ideas, the working of which she wit messed once upon making an early morning call. Finding Mrs. Mckee in the Red Parlor alone she inquired for her mother.
 Where is mamma? Why, in the basement. You will generally find her in the basement, toO, until she is per fectly sure there are no more worlds to conquer"
 Well, I will look for her." said the visitor, and, descending to the lower lcorridor, she soon located her in the kitchen.
 Come in," said Mrs. Harrison. "that i is, if you can cross that chasm of dirt and creeping things of all kinds, |" | pointing to the floor where lay, eviden of her prowness, myriads of defunct water-bugs, etc., that had been slaughtered under her direction.
 And now come up into the dining roon,' she said, after she had ex- plained certain of her contemplated inn provements; T want to show you something else"
 Going upstairs they entered the fami- ly dining-room, and the visitor, stand ling in front of the mantel, said: "What is it? do not see anything new
 Turn around" said the President wife, and doing so, Mrs. Butterworth a last noticed two good-sized sponge' hanging over the mantel piece.
 Well, I see some sponges; what arC ithey for?" But just then she observed two thick, brown streaks, about al finch wide, reaching from the mantel tt tines ponges, and they seemed to be il Imotion. Why, what is that?" sh' asked.
 That is two solid armies of re- lants," said Mrs. Harrison. ''Thos lsponges have been saturated witt lsweettened water, and the ants ar travelling up to them for a feast, ant as soon as they have pretty well GOV tered the sponges, they will be plunge, Unto hot water, ants and all; thel lwashed and sweetened again.

Movements Continue to Give Evidence of Uncertainty of Operations.
 New York, April Achievements of stocks continued to. give evidence to- day of much uncertainty on the part of speculative operators Signs of con- siderable strength and of sharp weak ness succeeded each other all day. Aggressive strength shown by a few stocks failed to overcome the sceptical and suspicious attitude of the trading. Some of those who sold stocks protest ed that they saw indubitable evidence of selling for the account of some of the persons who have been the most laggressive leaders of the bull campaign. Considerable liquidation was attributed to the account of orders received from western sources. Developments in the wheat markets are watched with keen attention from the stock market point of view, owing to the identity of exten- sive speculation both in the wheat and Ithe stock markets. The share taken by this interest in the bull campaign which has been conducted in stocks is lvariously estimated, and the extreme estimates current, if they should prove justified would sufficiently explain the uncertain tone of the present market. The substitution in the Northern Se- curities directorate of a new name for party was belittled on behalf of both sides to the old quarrel in that prop erty. Fears of an outbreak of this old quarrel were emphatically declared to 1 be unjustified. There has been unques- tionably extensive speculation in stocks based on the view that harmony has been attained, and the rather curt man. ner of yesterdays action Of the direc- tors shakes the confidence held in that supposition. Q l The weakening of the foreign ex- change market was regarded with re- llief and lower discount rate in Lori- don and an advance in the sterling rate at Paris also ,eased the situation which began to threaten a withdrawal lof gold from New York. But it is real Iized that decisive battle between the Opposition fleets in the Far East might affect foreign money markets to an ex- tent which would precipitate @ demand
 
 fupon our money reserves. Notwith- |standing the discussion of the North ern Securities situation, Union Pacific was firm to strong all day. The other principal points of strength were in 1.-the industrial list, notably Smelling, Amalgamated Copper and the Locomo- tive stocks. The weakness of New York Central was a strong contrary Influence and Illinois Central also suf- fered from free realizing on yesterday s lwide advance. The electric stocks suf- Ifered on rumors of the rupture of a working agreement and of the expan- Ision of competition in their field. An lenthusiastic weekly review of the iron ttrade awakened a lively demand for Limited States Steel preferred, and an active absorption of Union Pacific at 1.-the same time carried the market up- wards to strong closing.

countenanced or encouraged dane
ing, with special reprobation for
dancing clergymen and school
teachers, and side roast for school
boards who employed dancing and
card playing school teachers.
At the conclusion Mr.. Sunday
requested all clergymen and church
officials to take the platform and
shake hands with all the people in
the congregation who were willing
to take stand against card playing
and dancing. As might be expect
ed, only a part OF the immense
throng accepted the invitation, but
from expressions heard during the
week, a strong public sentiment
against card and dancing parties,
especially on the part of the church
members, resulted from Sunday S
lecture. Some of the devotees and
defenders of these amusements,
however, are mad clear through
over Sundays accusations.

SECURING JURORS.
Defense In Case of State Against DR..
Koch Appears Very Adr0it.

The days since Nov. 9th in the
Brown county court have been oc-
cupied in securing jurors for the
trial of DR.. George r. Koch, and
when court adjourned last Tuesday
evening the regular panel had been
exhausted and only two jurors had
been secured, L. P. Rasmussen of
Evan being one of them and A.
Rinke of Sleepy Eye the second.
The judge Immediately ordered a
special venire of 100 talesmen.
At this point DR.. Koch's attor-
neys sprang a little surprise by
fling an affidavit of prejudice
against Sheriff William julius, the
contention being that owing TO his
treatment of DR.. Koch the night
that he attempted to secure the
finger prints the sheriff would not
select a fair and impartial list of
talesmen, and that in his effort to
secure a conviction he would be
decidedly unfair to the defendant.
Judge Weber appears to have
grasped the point very quickly,
and he ordered Sheriff julius to
step aside in that portion of the
work of the case and Coroner L. A.
Fritsche, upon whom the sheriff IS
work falls when be is disqualified,
was called in to make up the list.
The coroner Immediately called in
his two deputies and the work Of
summoning the special venire was
commenced. All of the talesmen
were summoned to appear before
Judge Webber on Thursday morn
ing, when the examination of their
qualifications was at once com
menced.

day. neatly dressed, and wearing
the air OF confidence. He does not
seem to be worried over the out
come, and even INDUCES in certain
humorous outbursts occasioned by

evenings demonstrate that Mr..
Sunday has no time for the new
tangled views of the old fashioned
doctrines of hell and the atonement.
Sunday was busy day at the
tabernacle. The morning sermon
was an eloquent exhortation to
Christians to give an account for
the faith that was in them, The
evangelist touched on his own per-
sonal experience during the II
years since his conversion, and
gave most helpful talk to converts
and Christian workers of all de-
grees. At this service, Mr.. Gold
made statement of the financial
situation. showing that all current
expenses had been provided for,
with margin of two or three hun
dred dollars left, which it is pro-
posed to divide equally between
the Catholic, Episcopal, Christian,
Methodist and Presbyterian church
es. He also announced that vol
nntary Offering would be called for
next Sunday for the evangelist, and
expressed the belief that the offer
ing would be commensurate with
the benefits conferred on this COM
munity. Mr.. Gold believed that
the meetings of Mr.. Sunday were
the best thing that ever came to
Redwood Falls, which sentiment
was loudly app1auded.
The men s meeting Sunday after
noon was ord-breaker, with an.
attendance of fully one thousand
men. Before opening up with his
sermon Mr.. Sunday asked the ush-
ers to take up a collection for the
Salvation Army, as had been pre-
viously announced. The plates
were passed and bombarded with
rain of silver, amounting to over
$S1 when counted. At the wom-
ans meeting at the Methodist
church which was addressed by
Mrs. Sunday, $40 collection was
taken the same afternoon, giving
the army a Well-deserved New
Year S gift of over 800 in all.
The sermon was along similar
lines with that OF the Sunday be-
fore. The text, Rejoice, young

the progression being toward the
bottomless pit, in the speakers
opinion. The statutes were cited
to show that such parties were
guilty of violating the law of the
state as well as the moral law, the
playing for prizes being gambling
pure and simple as much as play
ing for a stack of gold pieces in a
gambling den.
The confession of a gambler, that
his first steps were taken in a Pres
byterian family under the tutelage
of a young lady reminded the evan
gelist of a gospel incident. Peter
in the garden was courageous to
rashness and cut off an ear of the
high priests servant, but little
while afterward, when kinky-
haired girl asked him if he belonged
to that gang, Peter petered out. :
He had more respect for the bum
playing cards in the back of a sa-
loon than for the woman In gilded
parlor encouraging a young man
to play cards, because the latter
was more dangerous to society.
Mr.. Sunday wanted it distinctly
understood that he believed in
wholesome amusements such as
base ball, golf, chess, checkers
and other games. Cards were the
tools of the gambler, and not of the
Christian. Where the Bible and
the deck of cards were found in
the same home, one of them might
as well be thrown out first as last.
The fireworks began when the
evangelist started in on dancing.
When he had finished the social
dance was left without leg to
stand on, either within the church
or without. The evangelist at
tackled it as terrible menace to
society, on the ground that it's de-
voices we're exposed to temptation
by the very nature of the immodest
mix-up of the sexes. The position
of the Catholic and Episcopal
churches. as well as other evangel-
ical churches, as stated by the bish-
ops and other dignitaries, was quot
ed from many sources condemning
the modern social dance in no un-

Those favorable to his candidacy

it was too late to put candidate in

preliminary steps to this action
were taken the evening previous
at the tabernacle. The meeting de-
veloped the fact that church men,
bers are Ia mood to line up against
licensing saloons, and until they
can accomplish that end, will or
ganize for the enforcement of all
laws designed to limit the traffic.

of fair-minded, representative men.
The fact that a juror has heard and
read about the case is not taken as
indicative OF bias, and if he does
not appear to be bigoted he is
passed on to the state.
This puzzled the prosecution.
Most of the rumors and printed re-
ports have been against DR.. Koch,
and have had tendency to create
prejudice against him. When a
juryman who has heard and read
these reports and appears liable to
be biased is passed by the defense,
it puzzles the state.
