the attitude they ought TO assume to-

Polygamy Not Smith Greed.

Last spring. during the SmOot hear

point. and as to the introduction OF the
doctrine OF polygamy into the church
1T was explained that pOlygamy was
not part Of the creed of Joseph Smith.
but that on the other hand the Joseph
Smith Book Of Mormon contained
stronger prohibitions Of polygamy than
are contained anywhere IN the orthodox
scriptures. Polygamy, II was said, was
introduced into the Mormon faith by
Brigham Young for the purpose Of JUS
tifying some private delinquencies Of
his own.

the Mormon faith. II is reported that

CHICAGO, July 1S.-A schedule for
the maneuvers OF the United States
troops at indianapolis during the month
of August was announced yesterday
by Brig. Gen. w. II. Garter, command
er of the department. of the lakes, who
will have command of the enCampment.
The program as given shows sys-
tenn of discipline carefully graded from
the rudimentary methods of camp life
to the complicated tactics of offensive
and defensive warfare.
a large consignment Of blank cart
ridges has been ordered sent to the
Indiana capital but it is expected that
little powder will be spent, The enc
my in the higher drills is to be purely
imaginary and no sham battles will
be fought between opposing hrigades,
as frequently has been done on similar
occasions. A few vollcys may be fired
as the charge is made on the strongly
defended position of the fictitious op-
ponent, but the government supplies
will be saved.
Surgeons VIII Lecture
The first two days of the encamp-
nent will be given over to lectures by
surgeons of the Northern division to
all officers upon camp sanitation,
health precautions in the field and
first aid to the injured.
Following in succession the battalions
and then the regiments of infantry will
be shown their part in the action of
the brigade, which. as soon as possible
will be formed of the three armed
branches of the service for a practice
march ready for action
A further step which will conclude
the first week is that of the prepara-
tion for meeting the enemy encountered
on the march by reconnaissance and
the deploying of forcese for attack.
The second week is to be in more
thorough manner a repetition of the
first. The brigade will carry it's ra-
tions for days march and will estab-
lish itself in a position of defense for
a nights bivouac. Hasty intrench-
ments will be made. outposts will be
placed in similar defensive works and
all will be ready for an attack.
The next day similar march will be
taken, but the action will be offensive
The imaginary enemy has taken up a
strong position, has placed his pickets,
has thrown up earthworks, and sudden
ly the marchers, with no more warming
than they would have in real war, are
upon him.
