A BRILLIANT N0'Ah
ADDRESSED MOTHERS Congress

Hard Blows bsfa Nations
Leading Women.

Washington, d. March TO- her
opening address to the Mothers Con-
gress, Mrs. Schof, president of the
congress, preached the Mormon ques-
tion for the first time within that
body before an audience which
crowded every available inch Of space
in the great Metropolitan church.
She said in part, taking as her theme
''The Children of the Nation"
"There are serious conditions that
prevail throughout the country which
are tending to undermine Christian
standards Of marriage, and which are
of concern to all women. The pre-
diction of Gov. Ford of Illinois, made
in his history of Illinois, written
over fifty years ago, has been full
filled. He said: THE Christian
world, which has hitherto regarded
Mormonism with silent contempt,
unhappily, may yet have cause to fear
its rapid increase. Modern society
is full of material for such religion.
cat the death of the prophet, four
teen years after the first Mormon
church was organized, the Mormons
in all the world numbered about two
hunded thousand souls Zone half mill
ion, according to their statistics),
number equal, perhaps, to the num-
Der of Christians when the Christian
church was of the same age.
sit is to be feared that, in the
course of century, some gifted man
like Paul, by his eloquence to at
tract crowds of the thousands who are
ever ready to hear and be carried
away by the sounding brass and tink-
ing cymbal of sparkling oratory, may
command hearing, may succeed in
breathing new life into this modern
Mohammedanism and make the name
of the martyred Joseph ring as loud,
and stir the souls of men as much as
the mighty name of Christ itself''
Discussing the menaces of the Nor
man church she continued:
''The Superintendent of Public In
struction; of Utah testified under oath
that he had investigated the schools
of Utah to learn whether the Mormon
religion, including polygamy, was
taught in them. He said that reports
had not come from all of them, but
that in over 800 of the 606 schools
of Utah the Mormon religion was
taught. Some of the teachers In
these schools showed letters bearing
the seal of the president of the Nor
mon church requesting them to teach
this in the schools. The lives of
Mormon polygamists we're studied bv
the pupils. The lives of Washing |
ton, Lincoln and other great men in
the worlds history we're entirely
ommitted- The Congress has the
lesson papers prepared by the church
to be taught in primary, intermediate
and advanced grades. These oondi-
lions extend also into the adjoining
States. There is no question as to
the accuracy of these statements.

HarOld's conversat ional powers and
choice of words are in their forIna-
tive stage, and his mother is finding
1t rather difficult matter to train
them into the straight and narrow
path of elegance He is the son of a
well-known violinist of the city and
himself something of musical
prodigy but contrary to all belief,
this does not keep Harold from pos
sessing an appetite the like of which
belongs only to all other boys of his
substantial build.
The Thanksgiving and Christmas
turkeys, therefore, are his delight. He
had finished his first bountiful supply
on Thanksgiving day when he turned
to his mother:
MA" he said, please give me some
more stuffin'."
Harold" said his mother, "that
doesn't sound nice. You must say
dressing"
In the evening the remains of the
turkey were brought to the table.
Again Harold finished his first serv-
ing, and then he looked at his mother,
hesitated, and said:

the clothes that come out Of that hole. I"

Ethel S. Stone, of Dane county, at

the agricultural appropriation and
railroad rate legislation Congress
may look forward to strenuous
week.

The next reform measuse to be
introduced in the Wisconsin legisla
ture is bill to regulate the bowels.
Primary Election Law.

The primary election law will be
in force for the first time at the
coming spring election. All the
officers to be elected in the city will
have to be chosen under the new
system. The mayor, city treasurer,
assessor and the four aldermen
elected last spring hold over fol
another year. One alderman and
one supervisor are to be elected
from each ward and two justices
from the city as whole.
Those whose terms expire are:
First ward-J. r. Place, alder
man; Thos. lockwood, supervisor.
Second ward-Robt. BROKER, aid
erman; w. J. Brennan, supervisor.
Third ward-Louis Wetter, aid
erman; Thos. Mcdonald, supervisor.
Fourth ward-Henry Henkel, aid
derman; Richard Meyer, supervisor.
Uuder the new law nomination
papers for party candidates must be
filed with the city clerk at least
thirty days prior to the primary,
which is held two weeks before
election. Election day in this city
is April 4th, hence the primary
election would be held March 21st,
and nomination papers must be
filed with the clerk February 18th.
This being the case persons desir-
ing to become candidates will have
to take steps to comply with the
law very soon.
Each signer of nomination
paper shall sign but one such paper
for the same Office, and shall de-
clare that he intends to support the
candidate therein.
He shall also add his residence
with the street and number, if any,
and the date of signing. The petit
tions of the candidates for alder
man must represent three per cent
Of their party vote in the precinct
where they reside. Non-partisan
candidates must have at least two
per cent of the total vote cast at the
last preceding general election IN
the state, or subdivision thereof, in
which the person is a candidate.
On the day of the primaries the
polls will be open from six o'clock
in the morning until nine IN the
evening.
The person receiving the greatest
number of votes at a primary as the
candidate of party for an office,
shall be the candidate of that party
and his name will be placed on the
official ballot.

More About That Dynamite.

T. f. Orion took the matter up
with the company he purchased the
coal from in regard to the dynamite
found in the coal bin at the court
house, and the company carried the
investigation clear to the mines
from which it was produced. They
are unable to account for it in any
manner and from the tone of the
letter printed below the explosive
either got mixed with the coal en-
route here, or was placed in the bin
after being unloaded:
T. F. ORION,
Lancaster, Wis.
DEAR SIR:
Your favor of the 2Sth ult. was duly
received, and we have had the matter
up with the mines, and Superintend-
emit Zoller advises as follows:
1--WE can in no way account for the
dynamite found In the G. & N. w. Box.
1t might have been placed In the car
after it left our mines, as we do not
use dynamite in mining. Our brushers
are the only ones who have any
dynamite in the mine, and their work
is so far from the face of the coal,
where the mining is done, that:it seems
highly improbable that piece could
get into the coal. We have never
heard of like case, and are unable
to make any reasonable excuse or ex-
PLANTATION. 1t seems strange to us, il
it got into the coal in the mine, that
it did not explode in the dumping,
screening. and passing over the box
car loader"
Mr.. Zoller, like ourselves, is unable
to explain the matter, and | think we
should all be congratulated on the
fact that it was found before any
damage was done; don't think you will
ever hear of like occurrence.
Yours very truly.
w. B. Stone, President.
