members.
Discomfort Grows.

DlSCOuL6nt GTOWS.
According to impartial observers, the
discomfort within the church is growing
rapidly, and it is said this same discon-
tent is manifesting itself in a way to
hurt the president in the most sensitive
place-the pocketbook. Already it is
stated that the tithing is falling off
heavily.
Thinking men among the Mormons
are backing up Elder Smurthwaite's de-
mand that an accounting be made for
the tithing. They object to giving up a
tenth of their incomes as an offering to

leaving the store he had gone only few
blocks when he was well drenched by a
sudden shower. Thompson was struck
by the mans prediction, and being al

received by the proprietor with a broad

the church felt constrained, on March
10 last, to explain to the members of
his flock that he had testified to an I'M
truth in Washington, the reason for it
being that the senators, whom he desig-
mated as his "inQuisitors," were trying
to lead him into a trap" Instead of
quieting the incipient rebellion against
him, this admitted untruth has only in
creased the dissatisfaction.
On top of his admission his chief
mouthpiece, Apostle G. w. Penrose, has
been shown by parallel statements made
telling an untruth. PenrOse, who is a
polygamist, has made various conflict
ing statements under oath as to his
marital relations.
All these things are going on within
the church, while from without come
other attacks which are worrying the
leaders. The war is going on in politics
and finance, and in these fields of prac-
teal effort on the part of the Mormon
hierarchy lie their most vulnerable
points.
In the field of finance, it is alleged, an
effort was made to execute grab" of
franchise for nearly century for light
and street railway privileges in Salt Lake
City. The action aroused such opposi-
ton that the prime movers did not dare
to carry out their original intentions.
At the same time, although no election
is imminent at present, the growth of

When testifying in behalf of Senator
Reed Smoot, Joseph F. Smith declared
under oath that he had never received a
revelation. 1t is cardinal principle
of the Mormon faith that the head of
the church is in constant receipt of COM

repudiated having received these mes

who are privileged to enjoy the melan- choly warmth of the czar's hospitality and that of the grand dukes, harbor at the same time murderous thoughts, their normal impulses cankered by the invidius teachings of nihilism. The death of Sergius and the revelations which have followed that tragedy give evidence of this. The grand dukes slayer was known both 10 the murdered man and to his widow, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth. He belonged to their stratum of society. He had no personal grievance. He expressed great regret to the grand duchess when she visited him in his cell after the assas- sination, that he had caused her SO great grief He fell back before her reproaches upon an impassioned ex- planation of the doctrines of the ter rorists, as if there were to be found in them some adequate excuse for his crime. If the grand duchess found in these teachings no consolation she at any rate .elicited the information that many revolutionists are members of the Russian nobility.

The sledge then slowed up, allowing the carriage to pass, while one of the men, dressed as workman, peered earnestly into the dukes car riage. into eyes that he knew. He was prince and in his hand was a bomb. What, occurred is best described by an eyewitness:
 The Senate square was deserted and presented melancholy appearance at the moment when entered it at a lit- tie before three o'clock.

 The grand duchess expressed sur prise that the prisoner. as member oi the aristocracy, should so far forget his rank and his obligations as 10 join with the misguided workmen in an at tempt to bring about the fall of the government She characterized his ac- tion as unworthy the son of Il noble family. It was at this point that Obo- lensk. not wishing to assume individ- usl responsibility for his deed, declared that he was by no means the only one in high official life who had sworn the oath of the terrorists.

I have always been . lover of sheep. and have owned 2 flock ever since 3 was 12 years old. Years ago the
 amount of wool was the object sought
 for, and when it brought from 75 cents 1 to $l per pound the Merinos were
 strictly in it, shearing from seven to
 ten pounds per head. and small docks often reaching 12 pounds: but of latef
 years mutton has been more of an ob-,
 ject than wool. and especially lambs. for that reason we look to the large
 type of coarse wooded breeds Alter
 looking over the different breeds,

 cared for, give lots of milk My flock average about eight pounds of wool per head and seldom have less than three lambs to turn out for two eweo and often every eve will have twin lambs. Two years ago all had twins but two. and they had triplets. I lost only one lamb. and that got killed. They are a quiet breed. that is, mine are; are easy to handle for large sheep. and the lambs are always tame. It makes great difference about sheep being afraid of the one in charge of the flock
 Now. as to the profits of keeping sheep with dairy. I do not expect all will agree with me. writes a corre- spondent of the Rural New Yorker. Profits depend on the man and the management to great extent My flock average about s per head from wool and lambs Two years ago they averaged s11 per head. When we were all making butter instead of selling milk. I made as much butter per COW as those that did not keep sheep around here; our make averaging 300 pounds per COW for the year For that reason came to the conclusion that the flock was not a detriment to tho pasture for the cows
 The sheep will take care of them selves. for they are up at daylight and feeding. They will pick their living. four weeks earlier in the spring than COWS will. If you keep your cows .builo up. and with good flow of milk. you can begin to feed them in August, ! while the sheep will care for thsm- selves until the middle of November. never house my sheep until about lambins time.

 There is knitting of this kind in Rus sia today. Nor is it the coarse and bungling work of the peasantry.
