tuition at Logan, Utah. has caused .
stir in Mormon circles, according to
a Logan dispatch which the Tribune
Tuesday prints, both renouneing his

pay tithes and severing his relations
with the college. According TO Prof.

church had receded from the Wood
run manifesto and reinstated polyga-
nous marriages could be reconciled
women who had recently entered into
the plural marriage relation with
leading elders of the Mormon church.
Prof. Wolfe Is quoted as saying: The
Mormon settlements In Mexico are
closely In touch with those Of Arizona
and in each case polygamy Is practiced
as freely today as 1t ever has been.
Prof. Wolfe is quoted as saying
that he sought an explanation Of these
conditions of Apostle John Henry
Smith, asking how these polyga'
nous marriages could be reconciled
with the Woodruff manifesto. and he
is reported as quoting Apostle Smith
as follows:
Why. Brother Wolfe. do you moi
understand that the manifesto was only
trick devised to beat the devil al

MARSHALL FIELD is DEAD.
The End Came to the Chicago Muii-Mii
Iionaire at New York Tuesday
Afternoon.

New York, Jan. 16.-Marshall Field,
the millionaire Chicago merchant, died
at the Holland house at 4 o'clock Tues
day afternoon, after an eight days Ill
ness Of pneumonia. Death came peace
fully while members Of the family who
had been in almost constant attend
ance for several days were gathered
around the death bed. They, as well
as the dying merchant himself, we're
prepared for the end. For days they
had been swayed between hope and
fear but when the alarming turn came
Tuesday after the remarkable rally OF
Monday it was recognized that the end
had been only briefly deferred. Those
who were present when the merchant
died were Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs
Marshall Field, Jr, August N. Eddy,
Catherine Eddy, Mrs. Henry Dibbles,
John c. Lincoln, and Mrs. Preston Glib
son.
The ray of hope which flashed to
the watchers Monday afternoon wher
the seemingly dying man suddenly raj
lied and for time appeared to gain
strength rapidly was first dispelled
by an announcement after the morning
consultation of the physicians Tues
day. Mr.. Fields rest had been dis.
turbed during the latter part Of the
night and when morning came 1t was
found that the improvement Of Mon
day had not been maintained. From
that time until the end the approach o.
death was steady and irresistible. B!
noon the last atom Of hope again hat
fled. At 2 o'clock word came from tn
sick room that Marshall Field was yer!

DEATH IN A TUNNEL.
Four workmen Lose Their Lives by thu
Bursting of "A Compressed Air Pipe
In New York.

New York, Jan. 1.-two negro tun-

two others were seriously overcome,
and the white foreman and assistant
suffered severely in rescuing those who
survived, when compressed air pipe
burst, in the east river tunnel, on Man

The bodies of the two drowned men
still lie at the bottom of the shaft
20 feet below the river level. These
men were overwhelmed by the water
that entered the shaft when the pres

dead men were hoisted to the surface
by the foreman and his assistant who
also rescued the two whose lives were
saved. The foreman and his assis-

were hoisted to the river level with
the bodies just in time to escape

other shafts upon it, the contractors
have made a little island for the work
there. From this the shaft through

HABITS OF THE DRUMFISH.
Stands Guard in Channels and Inlets
and Preys Upon Other Fishes
That Pass.

Drumfish travel in schools, collect
ing at the mouths Of bays between
Florida and New York. After disap-
pearing from northern waters in win
ter, they return early, and take their
stations close to the surf in channels
and inlets where they can prey upon
other fishes entering or departing
from bays. The nearest point to New
York where fishermen seek them is
the rugged and forbidding entrance
to Barnegat bay, some sixty miles to
the south Of the metropolis. Owing to
their habit Of living in inlets, they
get the additional names of channel
bass and channel fish, states the New,
York Tribune.
Rod and reel fishermen, going to or
coming from their ocean bluefshing,
pause to capture a few drumfish, II
the condition Of the surf will permit.
Any kind of bait is sufficient, or even,
a bright metal squid. When hooked,
the great drumfish puts up q mighty
battle. Ranging in weight from 20 to-
100 pounds and having powerful jaws,
fms and tail, the drumdsh makes reels,
