HOW DIPBTHERIA IS CON-
TRACTED.

One often hears the expression, my
child caught q severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria." when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-
ceptib,a to the wandering diphtheria
germ When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it not only cures the
cold, but greatly lessons the danger Of
diphtheria or any other germ disease
being contracted. There is no danger
in giving this remedy, as it contains
no opium or other harmful drug. For

papers referred to the Department of

The facts in the case of the said

attention of the Bureau of immigration

Edward W. Thwing, the writer of the
letter to the President transmitted by
you, on March 10, instant, who claimed
that Lo Sun had entered Hawaii on a
regular certificate issGed to him as
teacher, and had by stress of circum-
stances been compelled, temporarily, at
least, to accept employment on the
editorial staff of a local Chinese news
paper; that, on the basis of these facts
alone, his arrest had been directed by
Raymond G. Brown, Chinese Inspector
in Charge. which resulted in subject
ing him to humiliation and expense.
Immediately on receipt of this com
plant, the Commissioner General of
immigration despatched cablegram to

Has Merit of candor.

F. X. Nebeker, Logan. Democratic com
mitteeman for Utah.-The News editorial
to which you refer is not deserving of
the amount of consideration which it is
receiving. During past campaigns the
Democratic party has received from the
columns of the Deseret News more eff
fective opposition than would have re-
suited from its open support of the Re
publican party The editorial in question
has the merit Of candor to say the least.
But when it is known that its editorial
department is dominated by Republican
influences it appears foolish for Demo
Gratis TO expect any favOrs. If the fate
of the Democratic party of this state is
depending by so small a thread as to be
seriously threatened by adverse action of
the DeSeret News. or any other paper,
then it is certainly time for the party TO
disband.

THEREUPON A GREAT SILENCE FELL
UPON SCRIBES OF CITY BY DEAD SEA

And it came to pass that on the morn
ing of the second day of the summer soils
tice there appeared unto the scribes of the
city which is builded upon the shores of
the dead sea the representative of King
Rosenfield. who is called Booth of the
tribe of Hierarch and who is surnamed
kinky.
And he spake unto the scribes. saying
have come from the room of the au-
gust councillors, even the high priests
will they that / say unto thee: Thou
shalt no longer write upon the tablets nor
hang from the walls of the city knOwl-
edge of that which transpires within the
holy sanctuary.
And it was easy to be seen that the
heart of Booth. the kinky, was filled
with a great fear lest it should be re-
vealed to the people of Zion that some of
the tribe Of Nephi should be under suspi-
ciOn because they were called to remark
that they felt moved TO bear testimony,
and would lose for them much gain and
great gObs of hOnored name and fame.
And the scribes of the city which is
builded upon the shores of the dead sea
spake. saying: Sure, Mike: this that thou
asketh of us it is a pleasure to grant
thee for it lessons our burdens each day
to the fun measure of transcribing upon
DaDVTuS words that are equal to that
which is local brief.
And Booth the Kinky spake. saying:

And ne spake yet further. saying:

vile dungeon if thy tablets are not closed
and thou shalt cease not TO transcribe
