OF the Mormon church this after
noon appeared in the district cir.
cult court before Judge Ritchie
pleaded guilty to charge of I'M,
lawful cOhabitation and tiue OF

The charge under which the
Mormon prophet was arrested
and fined was based on tie recent
birth to President Smiths fifth
wife Of his forty-thirdI child.
President Smith addressed the
court, saying his latest marriage
occurred in 1894. All his mar
riages, he said, were entered into
with the sanction OF his church
and, as they believed with the
approval of the Lord. Accord
ing to his faith and the law OF the
church the unions were eternal.
He continued:

NO RESEMBLANCE TO ORIGINAL

the lead Governor JEFF Davis has
over Senator Berry on the face of
the returns that in Arkansas "the
old order has given way to the
new" and adds: "The only re-
semblance between the new sena-
tor and certain historic person
will be in name, not in achieve
ments, intellect or chara cter. The
new Jeff Davis will not be as a
ghost stalking in the Senate cham
Der and haunting committee rooms
no one could mistake the husky,
hulking, boldfaced countryman
who will figure as Jefferson Davis
IL for a statesman" We are

that it was not, we have often
wished that the governor of Ar
kansas could be induced to change
his name.

GETTING THE TARIFF CHANGED

Even Speaker Cannon realizes
that it is impossible to "stand
pat" forever. The political party
that persistently refuses to move
will inevitably be left behind.
The speaker expects to sit on the
tariff lid for the remainder of this
congress, but "the desire for
change which exists in the COM
mon mind, - he regretfully admits,
"will drive the Republican party
if continued in power, to a tariff
revision" He does not want it,
but cit will come in the not dis
tant FUTURE OF course the
speaker expects the tariff to be
"revised by it's friends" But
what if the desire of change
should lead the common mind to
make a change in Congress as the
only means of getting the tariff
changed?

President Roosevelt has thrown
new issue into the arena of public

outset that he has not thought out

feels that "we shall ultimately
have to consider the adoption of
some such scheme as that of a pro-
gressive tax on all fortunes be-
yond a certain amount, either Civ
en- in life or devised or bequeathed
upon death to any Individual
tax so framed as to put it out of
the power of the owner of one of
those enormous fortunes to hand
out more than certain amount to
any one individual; the tax, of
course, to be imposed by the
national and not the state govern
ment.n

NOW AFTER THE cuANo TRUST

The Department of Justice at
Washington, according to a news
special from that city a day or
two since, is now after the fertil
izer trust, charging that the farm
ers of the South have been multced
of from five millions to seven mil
lions of dollars. Proceedings
against the trust were started this
week at Nashville and many Of the
largest concerns doing business in
the South will be made defend
ants. Some of the most prominent
business men of the southern states
will be involved in this prOsecu-
ton. The combination which the
government will attack includes
practically all the manufacturers
of acid fertilizer in the country,
covering especially those doing
business in the cotton states, east
of the Mississippi river.
The manufacturers involved in
clude some in Baltimore and Chi
cago, as well as in Atlanta, Nor
folk, Richmond, Nashville,
Charleston and other southern
cities.
The government will allege a
combination of manufacturers
through the medium of a corpora
ton organized in Canada, known
as the Canada Development Com
pany, has been formed, it is al
legged, by all the fertilizer compan-
les whose product has gone into
the territory named and through
it the sales of the output of the
different factories and the price at
which fertilizers have been sold
have been regulated.
While the Canada company it.
self cannot be reached, it is the
theory of the department that in,
dividuals, party to such trust
and profiting by it can be prose
cuted criminally wherever they
can be reached. Officers Of the
Virginia Carolina Company, the
Armour Fertilizer Company and
of other fe tilizer companies who
held an interest in this Canada
Development Company will be in
yolved in this prosecution.
1t is said the company was dis
solved as soon as it became known
the government was investigating
its operations.

Curious Affections of Men In Various
Walks of Life.
One OF the curious consequences Of
the modern division of labor is the
cramp that attacks those who constant
Iy use their hands in one particular
manner
Writing cramp was the first to ap-
pear, being quite unknown until the in
PRODUCTION of steel pens. 1t affects men
ar ortener than the fair sex, and, sim
gularly. those who suffer are not liter
Try men, but cOpyists. 1t Is almost in
durable, and even when the left hand
is used the cramp very soon crosses
over to ii.
Musicians of every kind are attacked.
Among pianists it is chiefly ladies am
bilious to become professionals who
IRE the victims. Violent pain, weak
ness and fatigue of the arm make play
ing an impossibilty. Violinists are at.
fected both in the fingers of the left
hand and the hand that holds the bow.
Clarinet players get cramps of the
tongue. and flute players get cramp in
the EfyllA.
Photographers suffer very often, and
they call it loss of the grip" Tailors
get cramps in legs as well as hands.
Smiths and carpenters get what Is
called hammer cramp," resulting from
the enormous number of blows struck.
1t is estimated that q forger of knives
and scissors strikes $4,000 blows every
day.
Drivers get cramps in the hand, espe-
cialIy in the case Of those who break in
hard mouthed horses. Cigarmakers.
watchmakers, photographers, auction
GERS, sawyers, billiard players, dentists,
turner's, stampers, weavers, painters,

and often so severely that they have to
exchange their employment for some
other.

A Washingtonian has invented a steel tie which may revolutionize railroad track laying. He has for warded model of a steel cross tie and attachments to the Rock Island railroad at Chicago with a view to it's adoption by that company in its construction department. The tie, which the party has had patented, Is corrugated on the bottom to pre- vent slipping and device. on the angle bars and fish plates provides for contraction and expansion. The rail joints by this device are not put together end to end, but are cut on the bias and spliced in such a way as to preclude the possibility of any jar. If this device shouII prove practicable in it's use on railroads it would do away with lne use of tim Der as ties and be boon to railroads because of their lasting qualities, it being stated that steel tie would last several times longer than the average wood tie, which is about eight years.
