MORMON PRIEST PROTESTS.
Declares President Smith Exercises
Great Tyranny.

SALT LAKE, Utah, March &c.
A. Smurthwaite of ogden, one of the
high priests of the Mormon church
and a leading business man of Utah,
has issued an open letter to the higher
authorities of the church, in which he
calls upon the rank and file to rise
and rid the church of what he calls
religious, commercial and business
tyranny exercised by President Jo-
seph F. Smith"
Smurthwaite charges that the
spiritual part of the Mormon belief is
being made subordinate to CONNER
cialism and political manipulation
and that the religious and civic liberty
guaranteed by the constitution of the
United States is denied members of
the Mormon church.
He quotes Smiths testimony at
Washington to support his contention
that Smith is not fit to be at the head
of the church, and cites instances
where business competition has been
throttled by Smiths exercise of priest
ly authority.
Smurthwaite further demands an
accounting of the immense sum of
money paid into the church treasury
i'm the form of fittings.

HOLDEN ON NEW TOUR OF IOWA
Gospel Of Good Seed Corn Is BROUGHT
Home.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, March o.
PROFESSOR F. G. Holden, the head of
the agronomy department of the Iowa
state college at Ames, will speak to
thousands of farmers in the state this
week on gospel of good seed corn
+ Furnished with special train. he has
started upon a tour and will speak
nall hour at every station. 1t is ex-
pected that as a result Iowa will raise
thousands of bushels more of corn
than would have otherwise been har-
vested.
The gist of the professors lecture
is the thorough testing of all seed
corn used, before it is planted, SO that
no cornstalks are raised which do not
produce something. If each hill of
corn planted raised but two ears of
corn, Iowa would raise sixty-five
bushels to the acre. The average over
the state in past years mas rarely ex-
ceeded thirty-five bushels, so that the
campaign now being carried out by
the Iowa state agricultural college is
expected to nearly double the output
of corn.
The visit of Professor Holden to
Webster City last week was the event
of the year here. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the COM
mercial league. 1t was held in the
opera house, and which was filled to
overlooking. Owing to the fact that
so many were turned away the profess
sor will revisit this city on April u.
The professors lecture is a practi-
cal one and is illustrated with actual
experiments made at the state college
in the raising of corn. : The lecture will
soon be printed and sent broadcast to
every farmer in the state. The meet
ing here was most enthusiastic, and
the farmers asked scores of questions.
The facts he presents have all been
obtained from actual experiments.

ments that are to be made at the pen

ernor Mead received quite a number
of politicians of Walla Walla and other

called upon to fill will be members of

Macadamize Pleasant Street-If S


eral property owners can arouse
enough interest in the scheme, Pleas
ant street, between Howard street and
the old Seeber road, may soon be mac
adamized. The roadway built by the
government west of Walla Walla is
proving so satisfactorily that several
property owners along Pleasant street
are agitating the question of macad-
amizing that thoroughfare and are
meeting with considerable success.
The cost would be about 81 a running
foot for a roadway eighteen feet in
width. The stretch that it is proposed
to macadamize on Pleasant street is
abOunt a mile in length.

Monday night. Ed Stone, who said he
was acting the part of peacemaker
was let off with a reprimand and Jack
Dunnigan forfeited a bond of SO. The
four men kept Officers Sanderson and
Rolf busy for a time and it was with
difficulty that the fight was stopped
and the men arrested.
Looking for Foul Fiend-The police
have been on the lookout for a fellow
the past few days who is wanted on a
charge of indecent exposure. The man
has been hanging around the w. & C.
r. freight house in Rose street and on
several occasions has made an effort
to entice young girls behind the build
ing. A few evenings ago he beckoned
young lady passing along Rose
street. The girl frightened at the
mans actions broke and run. The
matter was reported to the police and
a sharp lookout is being kept for him.
St. John Dix Goes Free-St. John
Dix, the absconding president of the
Scandinavian American bank at Bel

Of years in the penitentiary and who
was subsequently pardoned by Gov

cleared of the charges of bank wreck
ing which have been against him for
four years past. At Bellingham yes
terday st. Johns attorneys filed a mo-
ton asking that the charges be dis
missed. The motion was unresisted by
the prosecution and the charges were
dismissed.

Walla Walla Lodge No. 2S7, Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, held last
night the following officers were elect
ed for the year: William H. Dunphy,

tave to the grand lodge; William H.

Paths Going to Ruin-Bicyclists are
making complaint of the general bad
condition Of the various bicycle paths
about the city. Teams have been al
lowed to travel over the Alder street
path between First and Palouse so
much that it is practically ruined for
wheeling purposes. The Park street
path is cut up so that wheelmen avoid
it as much as possible and other paths
are reported to be in bad shape through
neglect. AS the funds available for
path construction are practically ex
hausted it is hardly probable that any
work will be done on the paths until
taxes for 1905 commence to come in.
Death of Mrs. Anspauch-Mrs. Cy-
rena Anspauch, wife of a prominent
farmer of the Hudson Bay country
died at the Anspauch farm yesterday
