Salt Lake, April 7. = An injunc-
tion suit was fled in the Third judi
cial district court today asking the
court to restrain the church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, and
Joseph f. Smith, its president and
trustee in trust, from investing the
fittings of the church for any other
than church purposes. The petit
tioners are Charles Smurthwaite OF
Ogden, who recently was excommuni-
Gated from the church, and Don O.
W. Musser, a member of the church
who yesterday voted against sustain
ing the IL apostles.
The petition, after setting forth
that the fittings paid by members OF
the church amount to 1000, 600 q
year, and that Joseph F. Smith, as
trustee In trust for the church, has
each year since his elevation to the
presidency, invested half million
dollars in sugar factories, banks and
other secular enterprises, and also Ito
: establish estates and residences for
the church leaders and their favor
ites," which action, the plaintiffs
: aver, is in violation of his trust, prays
the court to declare the legal duty Of
President Smith with respect to the
tithing and other funds entrusted to
his care, and the purposes for which
l. they may be used. A temporary in
,s junction Is asked for to restrain the
r church and it's president from invest
le ing the tithing funds and other church
r money in any business enterprise for
n profit, to be followed by permanent
a- injunction after final hearing.

Last Friday evening the State Uni
versity of Idaho defeated Whitman
College in debate. The victory was
an overwhelming one. Two of the
judges we're from Spokane and one
from Wallace. They gave an unani-
nous decision in favor of Idaho. One
of the prominent members of the
Idaho team was James Galloway,
son of Mrs. and Mrs. T. O.
Galloway of this city in deliv-
cry he was the most polished
speaker of the evening, and his work
in refutation was very effective.
The question under decision read
thus: Resolved, that whenever, in
the case of continuous domestic vio-
lence, lives and property are not ad-
equately protected by state, the
President should have power to afford
protection without application of a
state for aid.'' Idaho advocated the
affirmative and and Whitan defended
the negative.
AS result of this victory the Uni
yersity of Idaho claims the champion
shin in debate of all the territory
south of Canada, north of Mexico
and west of the Rockies.
In all her inter collegiate debates
this year Idaho has not lost single
vote.
4 Saturday evening at Pullman
Wash, the Whitman college debat
ing team of Walla Walla, won from
the Washington State college on tn
question "Resolved, That it shoul'
be the policy of the United State
} not to hold territory permanently un
less with the intention that 1t shoul
ultimately enjoy statehood, " Th
! three judges unanimously decided i
favor of the Whitman team who uI
held the affirmative. This annnouncs
+ ment is especially pleasing to Weise
: people owing to the fact that one
the most prominent members OF tt
Whitman college team is Miss Liuni
Marsh, daughter of our popular PHI
tographer D. Marsh, and her mar
friends extend hearty conrgatulation
: This is the second contest in whio
- Miss Marsh has taken part and eat
80 time Whitman team won out. III
- first took place about year ago

,s sity team of Moscow was defeated.

London, England.-My Dear Chum:
1 received your letter yesterday, and
it made me homesick: Gee, but if l
could be home there with you and go
down to the swimming hole and get in
all over, and play tag in Lne sand, and
tie some boys pants and shirt in knots,
and yell that the police are coming,
and all grab our clothes under our
arms and run across lots with no
clothes on, and get in barn and put
on our clothes, and dry our hair by
pounding it with a stick, so we would
not get licked when we got home, life
would be worth living, but here all
do is to dodge people on the streets and
see them look cross when they step
on me.

luck in being a citizen of good old

suppose 1t is right here that We In
herited the desire to lynch and burn
at tho stake the negroes that commit
crime and won't confess at home. When
anything is born in the blood you can't
get rid of 1t without taking a dose OF
patriotism and purifying the blood, and
1 advise you never to visit the Tower OF
London, unless you want to feel like
going out and killing some one that is
tied up with rope.
Hearing of these murders and seeing
the place where they were committed
does not give you an idea of fair play
and you don't feel like taking some one
of your size when you fight, but you get
to thinking that if you could catch a
cripple who couldn't defend himself you
would like to take a baseball club and
maui the stuffing out of him. You be-
come imbued with the idea that if you
went to war you would not want to
stand up and fight fair, but that you
would like to get your enemy in bunch
and drop dynamite down on him from a
balloon, and kill all in sight, and SAL
away with an insane laugh.
Gee, but another day in this tower,
and would want to go home and muir
der ma, or the neighbors.

lea that compares with the Tower Of

THE BEEF-EATERs' STAMPEDE.

London and its associates is the Lieut.
CERT sausage factory in Chicago, where
Leutgert got his wife into the factory,
murdered her, and is alleged to have
cut her up in pieces and made sausage
of the meat, given the pieces with girls
tie in to his dogs, boiled the bones until
they would run into the sewer, dissolved
sold the sausage to the lumber Jacks in
the pine woods.
I expect Chicago will buy that sau-
sage factory and make show of it, as
London does the Tower, and you can go
and see it, and feel that you arc as full
of modern history as I am of ancient
history, here in London.
l could see that dad was getting ner-
vous every time a new beheading was
described to us, and l thought it was
time to wake him up. In going through
the room where the old armor was dis
played the beef eater told us who wore
the different pieces Of armor, and he
said at times the spirit of the dead came
back to the Tower and occupied the ar
NOR, and l noticed that dad SHE'D at
some of the pieces Of armor, so when
we got right into the midst of it, and
there was armor on every side, and dad
and the beef eater were ahead of me,
and dad was walking fast in order to
get out quick, pushed over one of tho
pieces, and it went crashing to the floor
and the noise was like a boiler factory
exploding, and the dust of centuries rose
up, and the noise echoed down the halls.
Well, you'd died to see dad and the
beef eater. Dad turned pale and got
down on his knees, and think he began
to pray, if he knows how, and he trem-
bled like leaf, and the beef eater got
behind a set of armor that Cromwell
or some old duck used to wear, and said,
''Wot in the bloody ELL is the matter
with the h'armor?" and then a lot of
other beef eaters came, and they
thought dad was the spirit of King
John, and they stampeded, and finally
got dad to stop praying, or whatever
it was that he was doing, and led him
out, and when he got into the open air
he recovered and said, emery, hi
have got to get out of Lunnon, don't
you know, because me cart is palpi-
tatirg," and we went back to the 'otel,
to see if our invitation to visit King
Hedward had arrived.
Say, we are getting so we talk just
like English coachmen, and you won't
understand us when we get 'ome.
Yours, with a haccent. EMERY.

and hustle them to the tower, and
when king or queen got in the tower
they went out on the installment plan,
and after. being thrown in the gutter
for the mob to recognize, and walk on
the bodies, they would bring them
back in the tower, and seal them up in
a pigeon hole for future generations
to cry over.
All my life have had in our house to
look at a picture of beautiful Anne
Boleyn, and here stood right where her
head was cut of, and couldn't help
thinking of how we in America got our
civilization from the descendants of the
English people who cut her head off.
By ginger, old chum, it made me hot.
didn't care to look at the old armor, or
the crown jewels, which make you think
of cut glass factory, but reyeled in the
scenes of the beheading. l never was
stuck much on kings and queens, but it
seems to me if they had to murder them
they ought to have given 'em show, and
let them fight for their lives, instead of
getting into trap, like you would entice
a rat with cheese, amt then cut their
heads of.

German Army Discipline.

Discipline is severe in the German
army and the treatment of privates is
sometimes unjustifiable. At Dessau a
sergeant who had been drinking to ex-
cess insulted two young women who
were escorted by a couple of men in
the ranks. The privates protested to
the minor officer, who drew his sword
and attacked them, in his drunkenness
wounding one of the girls. In the af-
fray which followed the sergeant was
disarmed and felled to the floor All
three were put on trial. The sergeant
was sentenced to prison for five
months. while the unfortunate privates
we're condemned to five years behind
the bars at hard labor, were dismissed
from the service and were deprived OF
their civil rights. Service as a private
in an army so regulated cannot be a
cause of pride in time of peace.--N. Y.

four miles. There are five spans and six
piers with six massive concrete arches
on each side of the river. Eleven Of
these arches are 65 feet long, and one of
them is 100 feet wide. From end to end
of the concrete work the distance is
$500 feet.
The piers are founded on pneumatic
caissons, one of which was sunk 81 feet
below the surface of the water. They are
all resting on solid gray limestone. The
distance from the bottom Of one Of the
caissons to the top of the masonry of
the pier is 143 feet. The bridge has no
draw, being sufficiently high above high
water mark to pass any steamer without
obstruction.
In the five spans of the steel super
structure there are $4,000 tons Of steel.
The last span, which has just been fin
ished, was put together without the use
of false work, being of the cantilever
style of structure. The bridge has a
double track, and Engineer Angler says
that both tracks from one end of the
bridge to the other may be crowded
with the heaviest locomotives without
taxing the capacity of the bridge.
Some of the distinguishing features OF
the bridges construction were that the
caissons were built on barges and
launched from the barges into the
stream. 1t has been customary to build
them on ways and from such position
launch into the water. Another distin-
gushing feature was that the steel was
taken up from barges on the river. Two
barges, one holding ten loaded cars and
the other IL, were f1oated under the
builders, the huge sections being lifted
from the cars by powerful cranes on top
of the works.
1t was the construction of the steel
work that occasioned large number of
fatalities during the continuance Of the
work. The wind blew traveller off the
track of the eastern span and killed
three men at one time. Others were
knocked off the works from time to time
until the dead numbered 16. Strange
to say no deaths were occasioned in the
caissons, which were sunk to an unusual
depth below the river surface.
This new structure forms new gate.
way from Chicago to the southwest. The
crossing will divert large tonnage from
both Memphis and st. Louis. Freight
from the southwest for the city of ST..
Louis will in great measure cross the
Mississippi river twice. 1t will be
brought across at this point and run up
the river on new Gould line 129 miles
long, and will be sent across to Missouri
again over the Eads or Merchants
bridge, both of which are sleeper than
the new bridge at this point. The rail-
way has been built at a grade of but
seven feet 10 the mile, and this will 81

the line at comparatively little cost in
motive power.
Another odd feature OF the the great
bridge is that the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois road will run around loop 20
