OPPOSED PoLYGAMY.

Two years ago, before the Boise
Statesman had come under the spell
of the Norm on hierarchy, it printed
long editorial in reply to letter
attacking Senator Dubois, written by
President Bulge Of the Bear Lake
stake of Zion. Among other things
10 said:
"This man is polygamist; he
breaks the pledge Of his church and
defles the sentiment Of this state.
Though he thus Inequalities himself
as an elector, he goes TO the polls
and votes, has even sat in our state
senate. He bubbles about polyga-
my, and he serenely declares that
church influence is not used in pollt-
ical affairs, though he has himself
used or sought to use It,
THE people will not longer accept
the assurance Of the leaders of the
Mormon church. They have been
deceived by them, and will not again
place confidence In them.
"What people are demanding is
that the church shall live up to its
pledges, causing the spread OF poly
gamy to cease and refraining abso-
lntely from debating action at the
polls, in the halls Of legislation and
every other political gathering or
public tribunal. =
When Frank r. Gooding was nom
intaed for governor the first time, the
Statesman, still free from the spell
OF the hierarchy, declared that "Zion
has Spoken" meaning thereby that
the Mormon church had dictated
Gooding's nomination.

Child Is Killed by Shotgun.

An unfortunate accident occurred
at the home of William Parsons, near
Colesburg, which illustrates the dan
ger of leaving firearms within the easy
reach of children. While the Parson
family were outside the house, the
little five-year-old boy of Thomas
Davis, neighbor who was visiting at
the Parsons home, climbed upon a
chair and attempted to take shot
gun from the wall. The weapon was
discharged, tearing big hole in the
little fellows side and mangling
one of his hands. The child lived but
few hours after the accident.

John Wesley, who lives within
few miles of the DEVILS Backbone
in Richland township was arrested
by Sheriff Hennessey last Friday on
the charge of illegal fishing. For
some time past complaints have been
made that trout were being taken
from the Maquoketa river in the vi
cinity of the Backbone and deputy
game warden Green, of Sioux City,
and deputy warden Frank Carson, of
Maquoketa, have been camping there
trying to apprehend the culprits.
Acct ling to reports they inveigled
Wesley into showing them how he
was in the habit of fishing and dis
covered that large wire seine was
being used to lure the speckled beau
ties from their accustomed haunts
Wesley was brought to Manchester
and given a hearing before Justice
Pearse who fined him $l07. The
amount would have been considerably
more but part of the costs were re-
mitted upon Wesley's promise to aid
the wardens in securing more infor-
nation that will assist them in their
work. Manchester Herald.

Elvidse Creamery Company So Id Out.

An important business deal was
consummated last week when the fac
tories and entire business of the Ell
vidge Creamery Company, of Elkader
was sold to the Beatrice Creamery
Company, of Chicago. Possession
was given on Monday of this week.
The business will be continued
and enlarged by the Beatrice Com
pany, but the various creameries
will be simply receiving stations and
the cream will go to their new fac
tory in Chicago which is planned for
a capacity of 100, 900 pounds of butter
daily.
The Beatrice Company is said to be
the largest creamery company in the
world and is capitalized at 81 900. 900.
The Elvidge Creamery Company did
a large business in northeastern
Iowa, southern Minnesota ana parts
of Wisconsin, and shipments from
three states were received and manu-
featured at Elkader. They made a
total of nearly million pounds of
butter a year. But competition, and
the methods of the larger companies
proved too much for the local com.
pany and it is now absorbed by one of
the larger ones. Messrs. A. o. Ell
vidge and H. R. Carpenter have po-
sitions with the Beatrice Company.
The local creamery. formerly busy
institution, has fallen to the level of
a mere shipping station. About 80
cans of cream day are sent to the
Chicago factory, being shipped as
baggage and bringing the railroad
company Sc cents per can. The day
of the small creamery seems to be
past and many fear that when the
smaller ones are wiped out the pro-
Queer will be at the mercy of the big
institution which seems to be fast
approaching the size of a trust. Cen.
tralization of business in this line and
also in mercantile business seems to be
the order of the day and the future of
the small town and dealer seems dark
unless the tide is stemmed before it
is everlastingly too late. -Elkader

SAM JONES.

The people of Charles City have
heard Sam Jones aud We believe the
general sentiment prevails that he
is buffoon and a blackguard. In
saying this we mean no disrespect to
the Chautauqua management, who
have labored honestly for the success
of the assembly, .but they would
scarcely be justified in securing his
services the second time He said
mauy good things, so would Alexander
Dowie or Brigham Young if he were
on earth. But his entire lecture was
punctured with coarse language, vul-
gar expressions and degrading sug-
gestions, which, if uttered in a the
atrical performance he would have
been hooted off the stage, or if made
in mans parlor he would have been
promptly kicked out of the house.
One lady remarked as she left the big
tent that she would just as leave lis
ten to profanity anywhere else as
there another lady, farmers wife,
emerged from the tent with the re-
mark that his statements concerning
the farmers were also false and SLAM
derous a business man left in disgust,
and -year-old boy upon reaching
home informed his parents that it
was simply rotten. And yet this
lecture was delivered before an intelli-
gent audience of over 5000 people who
expected to listen to Medley of
Facts, Philosophy and Fun Sam
is certainly not a fit subject for young
people to listen to.-Charles City

used in the ordinary work about the
