ter into the competition for the prize of
the grand aerie. 1T is said that there will
not be more than six teams that can

tor, however, believed in a peculiar sys-
tenn OF marriage and practiced that sys-
tenn with the very person upon whose
bequest he imposed the condition. In
the absence of anything else in his will
to indicate the meaning of marry
again that term might refer to either
system.
Testator's Point of View.
But in his will he speaks of only
one woman as his wife, 1t thus seems
clear that it was the intention of the
testator TO make provision for his diff
ferent families and he thus provided
homes for each one of them. In view
OF the time at which the will was made
and the state of the domestic relations
then prevailing among many of the
sect to which the testator and the wo-
men belonged, it is manifest that in his
view marry again did not exclude a
pclygamous marriage. From the find
ings of the court it is clear that such a
marriage, as the testator viewed the
relation, was quite as moral and bind
ing with respect to the persons enter
ing into IL as any other marriage would
be-"
The decision was written by Justice
Prick. and concurred in by the other
justices.

PL URAL MARRIAGE
IS DECLARED TO BE
MARRIAGE IN FHCT
Supreme Court Says Action Of Leah Perks In Contracting
Second PoIygamous Marriage Deprves Her of Condi-
tonaI Legacy Left by Her First Husband

not have this opinion, however. and de-
MED her the property The supreme
courl affirms the decision below.
In his brief the. attorney for Leah
Perks contends that the word marry
should be construed in its technical
meaning, and that Poppleton so intend
ed when he drew the will. By marry
again" it was contended that the tesla
tor meant that relation which a single
man and a single woman assume to-
ward each other by entering into the
marriage relation.
In other words, the marriage intended
by the deceased was the one the law
permitted, and none other.
PoppIeton's Intention.
The supreme court, however, believes
that the intention of Poppleton was
otherwise, and that he meant a plural
as we'll as any other sort of a mar
riage. The court does not coincide with
Leah Perks in her allegation that she
never married Crabtree, and as far as
the will is concerned declares that she
is his wife
This conclusion is arrived at from the
fact that all those concerned were Nor
mons and at the time believed in po-
lygamy.
IF the testator," says the court, had
been living in and had been practicing
the usual and customary domestic re-
lations as they applied to those who ac-
cepted and practiced the monogamic
system of marriage, then, no doubt, in
using the term marry again il would
be reasonable to suppose that he meant
la homogeneous marriage. The tesla

TO IMPROVE LOWER END
OF FIFTH EAST STREET

At a conference between Mayor John
s. Bransford and the county commits
sioners yesterday an agreement was
made to park and improve Fifth East
street from Ninth South TO the city
limits. The board of park commission
ers proposed the identifying of the
drive originally, and the city has agreed
to take care of that portion between
Ninth and Tenth South.
From Tenth to Twelfth South the
city controls the west half of the road
and the county the east half. Mayor
Bransford told the commissioners that
he would guarantee the improvement
of the city's portion provided the COM
missioners will take care of their por-

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
ceilent combination OF Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

I'm an opinion handed down by the
Apreme court yesterday the ccntention
OF woman that a polygamous mar
riage is not a marriage in fact is not
upheld.
The case arose out of a contest over
the proper construction of the term
marry again" in the will of William
Poppleton. who died in Cache county
In 1888, leaving three wives. named in
the will as Annie Poppleton, Leah
Perks and Mary Ann Jeffs.
The will provided among other things
that Leah Perks should have certain
amount of land during her lifetime for
her support and the support of her
children by the deceased. But if she
should marry again" the will provided
that the children should divide the es-
tate left her with the exception of a
ten-acre tract upon which the home is
located which she might retain until
her death. when it would also revert to
the children.
Second Fsural Marriage.
The will was not admitted to probate
until 1888, and a decree of distribution
was not made until 1907. At that time
Leah PERKS came into court and de-
manded all the land given her by the
will, setting up the fact that she had
not married again. as the basis of her
claim. The evidence showed that in
1883 she had entered into another plural
marriage with one Crabtree but her
cxntention was that this was not a mar
rtage within the scope of the word as
used in the will. The lower court did

We spend six hours in steam
cooking our wheat
Then We cure it for days, to
partly digest it. To turn part of
the starch into dextrine.
Then each separate berry is
faxed so thin that the full heat of
our ovens can reach every atom.
Then those thin fakes are
toasted IN a heat of 400 degrees.
If you ate raw wheat you could
not digest it. The granules OF
starch would not be separated.
The digestive juices could not get

If wheat was half-cooked, half
would be indigestible- Half would

The Food That's All Food

Summer is not good time for fad foods These
the days for whole wheat.
Wheat produces the maximum of nourishment
and the minimum of heat. II is the ideal food for
hot weather.
II should form at least one meal day.
But you want the wheat cooked as we cook it
You want the favor give it.
So try Mapl-Flake Order package today. Let
the food itself tell you how good it is. Let the
children say how they like IT.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-08-06

So wheat must be cooked as we
cook it. The process OF 90 hours
is essential.
All faxed foods would be pre-
pared in our way if the process
was not so costly.

Robbing the People.

That greedy aggregation of capital
and oppression, the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company, is stealing from the
pockets of the people of Hattiesburg
something like $500 a month.
Just how long this robbery has been
going on, the, Daily News is not pre-
pared to say, but it is safe to assert
that it will be continued until the
strong arm of the law compels a com
pliance with the statute regulating
telephone charges in Hattiesbuig.
As stated in these colu inns several
months ago, the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company Is charging to Hatties-
burg subscribers a rate based on 500
connections. The Daily News has
never believed that the Cumberland
had the subscribers which it claimed,
and we have time and again urged
the city council to make an investiga-
ton of its claims
II now appears that the Cumberland
Telephone Company has deliberately
made representation to City Assessor
Beaumont that it has only 632 tele
phones in the city of Hattiesburg, de
Z spite the fact that something Like zoe
: names appear in the directory.
In other words the Cumberland
Company is claiming 500 subscribers
before tie city council in order TIC
maintain high rental rate, but swear
ing to list of only 632 in order to es
cape city taxation.
Could the Standard Oil Company
do more?
