A sufficient number of specific instances of the
taking of plural wives since the manifesto of 1890
so-called, have been shown by the testimony as hav
ing taken place among officials of the Mormon
church to demonstrate the fact that the leaders in
this church, the first presidency and the twelve
apostles, connve at the practice of taking plural
wives and have done ever since the manifesto
issued which purported to put an end to the
practice. 1t has been shown by the testimony so
clearly as to leave no doubt of the fact, that as
late as 1896, one Lillian Hamlin became the plural
wife of Abram H. Cannon who was then an apostle
of the Mormon church. This is shown by the proof
of these facts
Down to the year 1895, Lillian Hamlin was a
single woman In 1896 she received attentions from
Abram H. Cannon. In June, 1885, Abram H. Can
informed his plural wife that he was going to
California with Joseph F. Smith president of the
Mormon church) and Lillian Hamlin to be married

Mormon church) She assumed the of Can
and her child bears the of Cannon
George Teasda1e, another apostle of the Mormon
church, contracted a plural marriage with Marion
Scholes since the manifesto of 1890
1t is also in evidence that Walter Steed promin-
ent Mormon, contracted plural marriage after the
manifesto of 1890. Charles E. Merrill, bishop of
the Mormon church, took plural wife in 1891, the
ceremony being performed by his father an apostle
in the Mormon churh. 1t is also shown that John
w. Taylor, another apostle of the Mormon church
has been married to two plural wives since the iss-
ing of the so-called manifesto Matthias F. Cow1ey
another of the twelve apostles, has also taken or
plural wives since the manifesto
1t is also proved that, about the year 1885, James

MUST HURDLE MOUNTAINS
BALLOON RACE
FROM THE PACIFIC COAST.
Two Monster Airships to Attempt
Flight Across the Continent
From Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. November L.
One Of the most spectacular balloon races
in the history Of American aeronautics
will be started from Los Angeles next
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. when the
two monster balloons American" and
United States will be sent away in a
race across the continent that may result
in breaking all records for long distance
flights.
The well known aeronauts. Capt. A. E.
Mueller and Horace B. Wild, will be in
the baskets, each accompanied by navi-
gator.
Capt Nc er will command the Amer
lean" and AIT. Wild the United States"
Both the big balloons have sailed in in
'ternational races, the United States" be-
ing the winner of the James Gordon Ben
nett cup at Paris in 1905.
The present is the first great balloon
race to be started on the Pacific coast,
and is much in the nature of an expert
ment Aviators have, however, carefully
tested and studied the air currents Of the
coast and are confident that the wind will
carry them directly toward the Atlantic
coast.
Feature Of the Race.
A remarkable feature of the race is
that the great aerial craft must surmount
three lofty mountain ranges in their
flights toward the east, necessitating the
attainment of a height hitherto unac-
complished. the Sierra Madre range
along the coast, the Sierra Nevada further
eastward and the Rockies forming the
backbone of the continent constituting the
three barriers that must be hurdled by the
big balloon.
Both Mueller and Wild are confident
they will be able to soar high enough to
clear the snow-capped peaks of the three
ranges, although a height of no less
than $4,000 feet must be gained to do so.
1t is expected that intense cold will be
encountered and the balloonists are figur-
ing on just such a contingency. The
American and United States will not
be inflated with ordinary coal gas, as is
usually done. but pure hydrogen gas of
maximum lifting power will be employed
instead. This Is expected to prove of great
advantage in fight of such height and
distance as is contemplated.
Each balloon will carry about three tons
Of ballast, divided into 12S sacks.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The local stock market as exhibited at
the meeting today of the stock exchange
did not present any new features OF con-
sequence, although some facts were indi-
Gated about several of the securities which
have an interest as showing the course
OF the present movement.
An instance of this is found in the
offering of Mergenthaler at 2lo after
sale Of ten shares at 2151s. which is
taken to mean that the stimulus which
caused the recent rise in this security
has become exhausted The bid re-
manned the same as yesterday. 214ta, but
the asking price fell an entire point.
In contrast with the course of Mer-
genthaler was that of Lanston. which
sold at IL. a high record in late months
in that stock More of the stock was
wanted at the same figure, SO that the
bid remained at Ii. while the asking
price was Ia. quite rise from the lever
Il bid
The prospect of resumption of the
payment Of the 4 per cent dividend IN
April next is assigned as the cause for
this change in the figures for this stock.
Another jump was made in the bid for
Mitchell mining stock, and instead OF
a. which was the figure yesterday,
was bid for 100 shares and Il for 500
shares. After the call 1900 shares sold
for q. At the close the bid was UNI
changed and the asking price was ".
There Is nothing known Of the reasons
for this appreciation in the market est1-
nation of the value of the stock but 1t
is naturally hoped by the stockholders
that the grounds for it are substantial
Another high record level was made
in the case of the Washington Railway
per cent bonds when couple of them
sold for S6a. and that remained the
bid. The lowest Offering was 81.
The common stock was apparently too
freely offered at the current figures, and
after few sales at a range of from
80 to 39A the stock was to be had at
80. with the bid a half point less.
Some odd lots Of the preferred stock
sold for S91a and S9A. and the bid for
the stock of fifty shares was S91s and
S9K. asked. Yesterday at the close the
asking price was S9X and the bid was So.

WANTS STREETS OPENED.
Citizens Association Asks Commits
sioners for Immediate Improvement.

The Randle Highlands Citizens Associa-
ton. through its secretary. has called the
attention of the Commissioners to the
necessity for the opening of s and T
streets southeast from oath street to the
Naylor road. and requests that this i'm
provement be made without delay. 1t is
contended that persons living on these
streets have no access to their premises
except through private property, which
could be cut off at any time.
1t is considered unlikely that the Com
missioners will approve the opening of s
street for some time. l.. r. Grabill. su-
perintendent OF county roads, to whom
the correspondence was referred, has re-
ported that it is not possible to make an
approach from 8 street with any reason
able expenditure. and that the necessity
for this improvement would not justify
the expenditure required to make it. For
this reason he recommends adversely upon
the request
In connection with T street, Mr.. Grabill
reported that the small amount of filling
necessary to make the approach from this
thoroughfare to the Naylor road is now
being done.
