ment in order to save his soul for the
Mormon heaven. Another general ex-
planation was that he had taken too
much ''vallcy tan, a product of Que
of Brigham S distilleries. Five women
mourued his demise IN greater or lesser
degrees. AT any rate. this occurrence
may have some bearing upon the re-
marks of Apostle Grant at the recent
conference: ''By the help OF God. we
will rid ourselves of them" 1t might
be shown that at this time there was
the worst sort of graft, veuality, NAL
feasance and corruption committed III
the city by an alderman named Clin-
ton. and all of these things were
brought to the attention of Brigham,
who said "l knew 1T before you did. -

a Calibanic elder spoke lately in Tie
big tribal wigwam.
There was 20 constitutional morale
in Utah in those days, and it should
be the aim Of young Mormons TO study
this republic, with which the Mormons
have so long been at war, and find out
what in them is necessary TO put them
in harmony with the free institutions
of this American republic, that they
may be led TO practice those simple
virtues which are so necessary to !he
life of republic. For those Nor
mons who uphold polygamy there is
no hope for them. there is no PLACE
for them in a republic; for the origin
of all republics has been in a strict
observance of marital fidelity ald
wholesome individual restraint which is
so fundamental to upright government
of the people. for and by the people.

BIRDS EAT MOSQUITOES.
Nighthawk, kiidee and Swift Are
Especially Valuable

Recent Investigations by govern
ment ornithologists have shown
that some birds are great destroyers
of mosquitoes, and ought for that
reason to be protected. Notable
among them are the nighthawk, the
!chimneyswift and the kildee.
The nighthawk has a huge mouth
land a stomach of corresponding size.
1t does most of its feeding during
twilight hours, on which account the
malarial mosquito which is a night
flyer, is particularly likely to be
come its victim. Mosquitoes of any
breed are much esteemed by this
bird, which will pass through
IcIoud of them with it's mouth wide
|open and take them in much as
whale swallows fishes in its progress
through a school
The nighthawk, of course is not
La hawk at all. 1t is otherwise known
as the "bullbat," because its flight
lis somewhat like that of a bat. When
its broad bill is opened wide for
prey. il seems to be all mouth-a
most effective mosquito catcher, In
the stomach of one of these birds as
many as eighteen hundred good siz-
ed ants have been found, by actual
count. and in another case sixty
grasshoppers and twenty-one beetles
and bugs. There is hardly doubt
that it could eat ten thousand mos
quitoes for a single meal.
The chimneyswift is likewise very
active during twilight hours, when
