Wild Beasts Of India.

A statistical paper on India. late
" published In London, makes the
statement that in 1904 the total num-
Der Of persons killed by wild beasts
IN India was 24.034, of whom nearly
~ 900 fell victims to snakes. Tigers
killed nearly 500, and leopards nearly
400. On the other side Of the &C
count are $1,000 snakes killed, and
10000 other wild animals.
To many persons it may seem
strange that country SO old as In.
dia should still harbor SO many wilo
beasts. and that they should be per-
mitted to commit such depredations,
says the Youths Companion. 1t must
be remembered that the country Is OF
vast extent, much of 1t still covered
with dense jungle; and that religious
scruples prevent many of the inhab-
itants from taking the life Of any ami.

mination receive little native support

Fort Dodge.-Farmers in the vici'

MORMON PROPHET FINED.
PRESIDENT SMITH GUILTY OF
UNLAWFUL coHARITATloN.
10 Sentenced to Pay $500 After e.
planning His Plural Marriage
Relations.

Salt Lake City.-Joseph F. Smith,
president Of the Mormon church Fri.
day afternoon appeared in the district
court before Judge Richie and plead.
ed guilty to a charge of unlawful CO
habitatlon, and a fine of $500 was i'm.
posed.
The charge under which the Nor.
man prophet was arrested and fined
was based on the recent birth OF
President Smiths forty-third child,
born to his fifth wife.
President Smith addressed the
court. He stated that his last mar
riage was in 1884. All his marriages,
he said, were entered into with the
sanction of his church, and, as they
believed, with the approval of the
Lord. According to his faith and the
law Of the church they We're eternal
in duration. He concluded:
when l accepted the manifesto Is
sued by President MILFORD Woodruff
did not understand that would be
expected to abandon and discard my
wives. Knowing the sacred coven-
ants and obligations which had
assumed by reason Of these marriages,
i have conscientiously tried to dis.
charge the responsibilities attending
them, without being offensive to any
one. I have never Haunted my fam
lily relations before the public, nor
have felt a spirit of defiance against
the law, but, on the contrary, have
always desired to be law-abidins
citizen. In considering the trying po
sition in VIII. h have been placed

such leniency in your sentence as law

Judge Richie imposed the maxi
mum fine, but omitted the jail sen
tence of from one day to six months
which he might have imposed under
the Utah statute.

investigation that the story was false,

with these facts Schroeder broke down
and confessed his guilt, acknowledg.
ing that he had not been insane. On
Oct 4, 1897, Judge Wolfe imposed a
five year sentence on Schroeder, who
was taaen to Anamosa the next day

Former Chief OF Police Ed Burke,
who arrested Hoffman on the hgamy

made the arrest at the postcfiice when
Hoffman called for letter that had

Judge Wolfe, In imposing the max

against Hoffmen was an aggravated
