PASTOR RETURNS
Rev. George r. Stair and Family
Conclude Their Vacation.

Conclude Their Vacation.
Rev. and Mrs. George R. Stair and
family returned Wednesday evening
from four weeks vacation passed at
Lake Bomoseen. They arrived fat their
home about six o'clock and were some
what surprised to find the premises in
possession of a committee of church
people who were preDaringEto receive"
them.
The grounds were encircled by cor
don of incandescent lights, connected
with the local electric light system and the
lawns were bestrewn with tables, seats
and the paraphernalia of social inter-
mingling and feasting. After recover
ing from their surprise they were in
formed that the Baptist congregation
intended to give their pastor and his es-
Unable lady a reception, and that the
public generally were invited to partlci-
pate.
Later the people began to assemble
and handshaking, congratulations and
compliments were showered upon the
happy recipients of this hearty outpour-
ing of their townsomen, | and towns
women, for the ladies were out in full
force.
The affair was entirely informal and
Consequently there were no set speeches
of reception or reply, but each for him.
self and herself had the pleasurel of a
personal reception" and speech response.
Mr.. Frank S. Foote, the organist of the
church, however, had formulated brief
Or ogram and had invited some neighbors
to assist in tightening the proceedings
with bit of music and rendition. The
following program was given at the
porch of the pastorate
Piano Duet-Mrs Bristol and Mr.. Foote.

Reading-"Inside Inn" Ivan D. Hagar.
Solo-"The Bumblebee's Courtship,"
Prof. ]. N. Rodeheaver.
Solo-Miss Ruth NJ. Smith.
Cornet Solo-Truman Eels.
Following the musical and literary
exercises, all were invited to partake OF
the hospitality of the Ladies' Aid socie-
ty who had provided, through COM
mittee composed of Mrs. Rogers, Mrs
LaBounty, and Mrs. Bacon, dainty re-
Treatments, which were served at tables
on the lawn, and of which the entire
attendance partook. The guesses of the
people that "this is one of Col. Ilsley's
generous acts" was not denied by any
body, and as the Colonel and his amiablt
wife see med to be two of the happiest
people present-barring Mr.. and Mrs
Stair-it was readily concluded that the
accusation. was true.
The cordial greetings extended to MI
and Mrs. Stair plainly show the esteem
in which they are held by the commun
ity.
The event closed at an early hour anc
the people gradually turned homeward
all seemingly happy at having accorded

ted by the Territory for aid in sup

1t developed that the county officials
had drawn on the Territorial treasur-
er for the full amount, $4,000, and
that that official had returned the
warrant unpaid with the information
that there was not sufficient money
there to pay it, there being only about
500 ON hand, but that if the county
would draw for it as it came in he
would pay it. 1t was understood

of floods from the Hondo.

Instead he referred to the charge
made that he had deserted his party
and that he was in the habit of max

he had left the Democratic party in

smoot Hearing Resumed.

Washington, Feb. THE hearing
in the case of Senator Reed Smoot,
which was resumed today before the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, is likely to continue intermit-
tently throughout the present session
The first witness was Prof. Walter N.
Wolfe, former teacher of geology in
Brigham Young College at Logan
Utah. He testified regarding polyga-
my, and said that to the best of his
knowledge "Polygamous cohabitation
has increased very materially since
Utah was admitted as a state" He
said that polygamy was even talked
of with some freedom in Southern
Utah and New Mexico.
Wolfe said he had gone through the
temple twelve times, and gave the
oath he was obliged to take. He said
that he believed the seeds of treason
were sown by the oath.

THE SPEECHES
Cochran Makes a Hit.-Senator Pat

BoIt.-TilIman Takes a Hand.

Washington, d. c., Feb. There
was no delay for preliminary business
in the house today, the railroad bill
being taken up at II o'clock, and the
last day of the general debate was
begun. The program included speech
es by Bourke Cochran, of New York
Mann of Illinois, Williams of Mississ-
ippi, and Hepburn of Iowa
Cochran announced mis- position in
favor of the bill While he did not
consider it a panacea for all evils, 1t
was a most wholesome manifestation
OF unanimous public determination

only means by which public owner

'The most plausible. argument of the
Socialists is the history of railroad
management in this country he said
1T is a history of favoritism, of cor
ruption, and of fraud" In spite of this
he would not-,say that the railroads
had not rendered enormous service
but they had not been as efficient as
they should. His next assertion was
that the railway influences dominat-
ed both parties.
He showed how representatives of
wealth ignore the courts and domi-
nate state administrations The very
court which had dropped the proceed
ings against H. H. Rogers had next
day issued a most vigorous injunc-
ton against the striking printers. In
this connection he reviewed the Nor
thern Securities decision which he
said declared the representatives of
the combination to be criminals and
conspirators. The fact that no Grim
inal proceedings had been begun was
dwelt on at length, and Jail sentence
for debts and the conviction of the
railroads for mere indiscretions"
were contrasted His compliments
were paid to Rockefeller, 'At once
the. richest and most despised of our
whole population"
Universal applause greeted Cock
rams conclusion, and after an infor-
NAL congratulatory reception to him,

Ginseng an Equal of Gold.

1t has often been asserted that, next
to tea, ginseng is the most celebrated
plant in all the orient. 1t may we'll be
termed the cure-all, as the Chinese
have a wonderful faith In its curative
and Strengthening properties, for which
reason it has been styled the "cinchona
of China" It Is considered to be a
cure for fevers and weaknesses Of all
sorts, the chief and most costly medi-
cine.
The plant is found wild in the noun
tain forests Of eastern Asia from Nepal
to Manchuria. It formerly grew In
Fukien, Kiangnan and Shansi but was
supplanted by the Manchurian Wild
root. The root is carefully hunted by
the Manchus, who boast that the weeds
of their country are the choice drugs
Of the Chinese.
1t would be impossible accurately to
price ginseng. Some wild roots have
been known to realize their weight in
gold. while the cultivated variety costs
from so cents a pound up. Generally
speaking, the average prices are, for
the best, $12 per pound; fair, $3.50,
and ordinary. 80 cents to 81 per pound.
