The many friends of Mrs. James w.. Bartlett will be pained to learn of her suddden death yesterday at the Good Samaritan hospital, from the effects of ,n operation, performed to relieve a complaint from which sbe has suffered

Besides d husband she leaves to mourn, one son, as we'll as two brothers who are in on the trail, and two brothers and one sister in Oklahoma She was born iu Austin, Texas, and was S years, 20 days, of age The funeral will occur at the residence Tuesday afternoon at ? o'clock, Rev.

All public spirited cit izens are earnestly requested to attend this meeting, especially those who have already given material evidence of their interest and goodwill by gener- ously contributing to the funds in part raised.
 Advices received from Mir. II D Key holds from Seattle this morning are very reassuring, and are to the effect that grand progress Is being made in connection With all matters pertain ing to the Home Railway The ousi- ness element of Seattle are subscrib- ing sp!endidly, and Mir Reynolds states that he is meeting with no op- position, nor anything in the slightest degree of a discOuraging nature. but on the other hand is receiving all the encouragement which he could desire. He states that the Santa Barbara will be fully repaired. and reloaded. and will sail Wednesday, witha heavy load Of railroad supplies. In addition the Alaska Coast Company has chartered the 1900 ton sailing ship Glory of the Seas, and she will be futly loaded with railroad supplies, aud will sail just as quickly as possible for this port. Ad ditional Tai road material is arriving at Seattle from the East very rapidly. having been much hasteneI through the influence ofthe ChlcagO office of the Reynolds Alaska Development Company. Tonight the Seattle Com. mercial Club will entertain Mr. Rev, holds and vii formally endorse the Home Railway project, and to- morrow the Chamber of Commerce will meet for the same purpose, Mir Reynolds also having been invited to address the memb bers of that organiza. tion.
 correspondent from Katalla to one ot the Seattle papers stated not long ago that there was no clergy man as yet at that place, adding that it was commonly agreed it would be better for the peace and well being of the community if this should continue to be the case. Much at variance with snch startling prcsentmeut of the public sentiment there prevailing, was Father IurnelPs experience, the local Catholic missionary in charge of this part of the territory. He reports that he never yet met with warmer reception than was given him on his first visit there two weeks ago, notably on the part of representative nOn-Catholic citzans They provided him with a temporary place of worship and turned out in large numbers. Credit for this is due largely to the kind offices of Mir.

For the first time in the history
of the company the agents of the
Northwestern Mutual Life insurance
company had to pay their transport
tation and hotel expenses when they
went to the annual meeting which
was held in Milwaukee Tuesday and
Wednesday. Heretofore the COM
pany has paid all these expenses.
This year, under the new laws, this
cannot be done. Even the medals
which the company was accustomed
to offer for successful agents are
cut out. For all this it is believed
that the attendance will be as large
as usual. A story that was started
to the effect that the Northwestern
in case of adverse legislation by the
legislature, would move to some 9th
er state, was given a q%uietus by
President Palmer. Judge Palmer
said there "a absolutely no truth to
the story or foundation for it.

A Crusade Against Polysamy.

During the past week, ex-senator
Dubois, of Idaho, has been address
ing South Dakota Chautauqua as
%semblages on the subject Of Nor.
monfsm, specializing the polygam.
GUS feature of his topic. He will de.
vote the summer to addresses in
other states, under contract with q
%chautauqua bureau, and will speak
entirely upon the disgrace that
Mormonism has placed upon this
land of boosted morality.
Mr.. Dubois is familiar with the
Esubject. Mormonism flourishes in
his state, where it has become a
political force that cannot always be
resisted, although it has not there
gained absolute control that has pre-
vailed in Utah. 1t was enough of a
force last fall to defeat his re-elec-
ton to the United States senate, in
punishment for his activity in be-
half of the rejection of Senator Smoot
of Utah.
MI. Dubois tells the christian au-
diences before whom he appears that
the Mormons today control six
United States senators and will short
ly control six more. The mormon
trust controls it because it is the
biggest trust in the country. This
church has the best political organic
alton known. 1t can determine in a
single hour how every Mormon will
vote and every Mormon will vote
that way"
Through its power over the bal
lot, the church is a growing menace
to the country for it is a growing
church, looking forward to the time
When 1T shall ecure a majority in
the national legislature and control
the destinies of all states.
1t Is in defense of the institution
OF polygamy that the Norman church
mas organized itself along political
INES and that 1t is well organized
Is attested by the shameful fact that
1t has for its alle5 the dominant party
IN the politics of the nation.
The crusade instituted by Mr.. Dr.
Q ! and his co-workers is not against
Mormonism, but against the polyga-
nous practices Of that sect. With
polygamy destroyed the political
power of the church would be sur
rendered, for no man has to COM
with other men to defend a de-
religion In this country. It is
the tndecency of Mormonism against
which society has risen and society
is prepared to wage a war of exter-
minatfon on polygamy.
Through fhe campatgn now in
progress. the country is being IRE
pared for the submission of a prop-
for an amendment to the
federal constitution prohibiting pol
ygamy In any of the states. The
adoption Of such an amendment
would authorize the nation to ap-
ply the punishment the crime de-
serves and then polygamy would fail.
Such is the mission Of Mr.. Dubois
he travels from state to state and
tells his story.
