NIGHT AND DAY BANK IS
SUED FOR $500 DRAFT

The All Night and Day bank was
made the defendant in an action in the
superior court yesterday when John
o, Johnson filed a suit against it for
$500.
Johnson asserts that August 13 he
signed draft for $500 on the Corn
Belt Bank and Trust company of Greg
ory, S. D., and gave it to the All Night
and Day bank to collect. He alleges
the institution to which he intrusted
the collection of the draft performed
that part of the transaction correctly,
but now refuses to turn the money
over to him. He wants the court to
compel the bank to give him his $500
and to pay his interest on it at the
rate of Z per cent, from August Is.

DISCLAIMS LIABILITY OF
CITY FOR ARROYO DAMAGE

In a report to the city council which
he will render today, the city attorney
will hold the city is not liable for any
damages done by water in the Arroyo
Seco. He says the arroyo is nearly
all owned by private persons and tne
citv has no interest in it except that
IT has acquired title to certain por-
tions through deeds and condemna-
tions.
This opinion is given in connection
with a claim of damages for $1,000 pre-
sented by M. T. Johnson, whose prop
erty at Avenue Forty-twO and Char
lotta boulevard is said to have been
damaged by storm water flowing IN
the arroyo. Mr.. Johnson wants the
citv to pay the damage, but the city
attorney says the claim is not legal
one against the city.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
SUTR0 HEIRS OWN LAND
Title to Valuable Property in San
Francisco Cleared

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 19-Dis-
puted title to a parcel of valuable
land along the ocean boundary of this
city was adjusted late today by the
supreme court.
The land in question, a wedge-shaped
tract between the last avenue of the
city and the Great Highway, was
claimed by the Sutro estate. The city
had decided a portion Of 1t to other
persons who, with the city, were named
as defendants in the suit. The land
is occupied by a number of road
houses which would have been closed
by a decision in favor of the defend
ant. The lower court gave judgment to
the Sutro heirs and that decision was
affirmed by the supreme court.

Municipal Affairs
CHANCES SUGGESTED IN
PAVING RIGHTS-OF-WAY
Railways viii Be Allowed to Omit
Fees to City Engineering
Department

Some notifications of the ordinance
recently enacted by the council pro-
viding for a superior class of street
improvements on railway rights Of way
will be suggested by the board of pub
lie works and the council asked to
amend the ordinance to provide for
the changes.
The board will recommend that the
railways be permitted to use bitumin-
lied brick on streets of light traffic
instead Of vitrifled or paving blocks.
The board is of the opinion that vitri-
fed brick is far superior to bitumin-
lied, but the railways had already or
dered some of the latter before the
ordinance was adopted. The board be-
lieves that a demonstration will con-
vince the railway engineers that Wit
rified is better than bituminized and
that in future construction it will be
used voluntarily.
The board will also suggest that but
one row of toothing blocks be used
instead of two, as now required by
the ordinance. It will also agree that
the railways pay no inspection fees
to the engineering department OF the
city on paving work, and ask an
amendment of the ordinance to elimi-
nate these fees.
The board of public works believes
1t is to the interest of the railway COM
panies to do good work, and will relax
the inspection to certain extent, de-
failing one assistant engineer from
the city's engineering department to
keep his eye on all the railway paving
construction.
If the council will make the amend
ments to the ordinance suggested, the
board says the railways will withdraw
their opposition to the city specifica-
tions. The RAILWAYS have fought
against the specifications since the or
dinance was first passed, especially the
part that requires them to use a
cement concrete base under their ties
instead of asphalt concrete, as they
prefer and which is much cheaper.

PAINTING SPELL ATTACKS
SENATOR HENRY C. LODGE
Poor Health Promises to CurtaiI
Statesman'S Speeches

BOSTON, Sept. 19.-Following a
slight collapse at the conclusion of a
political speech at Norwood Saturday,
it is reported, United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge may have to cur
tail his campaigning this fall.
Senator Lodge has been in somewhat
poor health for more than year, and
at the conclusion of an outdoor speech
Saturday he had a brief fainting spell
after retiring from the platform. He
had fully recovered last night, but the
effect of his strenuous work on the
stump thus far in the state campaign
has sapped his strength, and it is
believed he may have to give up some
of his speaking engagements.

THREE MORE EXALTED ONES.

There are three other men whose
names are entitled to places in our list
of new polygamists,
Elder Calvard Alfred resides in the
polygamous nest at Juarez, Mexico
but his crime was committed in Utah
about 1894. when he married two sisters
named Richards. Like many others of
hls stripe he was afraid to remain in
the State after his misdoing began to
become known, and the year following
his unlawful marriage he fed to Mexico
to escape possible consequences.
Elder Frank w. Wall is another of
them. Although we have not been in.
formed of the identity of his second
conjugaI partner. it is certain that he
married her in Utah in 1891. soon there
after sloping off to the Mexican colony.
Elder Joseph Gordon also lives at
Juarez. He took second wife in the
year 1894, her name being Rhoda Nc.
Clellan.
All these men are held in good stand
ing in the Mormon church and enjoy
the confidence and fellowship of their
local officials. 1T is asserted, and with
apparent good reason. that fully half
of the total number of heads of families
in the Mormon colony of Mexico are
either new or old polygamists, and new
in the majority Of cases. Yet the Nor
mon church officials have made no move
whatever toward their punishment, nor
even their discountenance or repudia
ton. The whole course cf the church
toward new polygamy and its perpetra,
tors is and has been in encouragement
of the crime, and every official protest
to the contrary is simply a falsehood
uttered for the purpose of avoiding
public denunciation, while at the same
time affording opportunity for secret
perpetuation OF the practice.

"IMBIBING sUPERsTITIoNs.

The morning organ of the Mormon
church is on the high road to apos-
tacy when it complainingly declares
that "many white persons believe in
signs and portends, the young men and
young women in various localities de,
voutly imbibing the pet superstitions
of their fathers and mothers"
1t is not good and faithful church
agency that will thus attempt to lead
away young Mormons from that old
story concerning the angel Moroni, the
golden plates, tho urim and thummim
and the sword of Laban. The Mormon
hierarchs are constantly seeking to per-
petuate this superstitious belief enter
tuined by the fathers and mothers of
Mormon youths. desiring the latter to
cultivate a habit of devoutly i'm
bibing' that "pct superstition. For
the Smoot HMouth' to thus endeavor
and pharisees of Mormondom is to in
vite n charge of un Christianllke con.
duct and a subsequent withdrawal of
the hand of fellowship. One of the
chief sins commitable by young Nor.
mon is to show a tendency TO depart
from the superstitions of the fathers in
his church What rs surprising about
the Mouth 's' teaching upon this sub
iect is that it has so far forgotten the
example of the major church organ,
from which it is supposed to get its
inspiration in such matters. IT wouldn Z

OBEDIENCE TO THE LORD

Apostle Joseph +. Smith, Jr., in the
tabernacle on Sunday, said that "the

simplicity of faith and obedience to
the Lord' that characterized the lives
of the first Christians.
While the young apostle was some

taches to 1T. He is naturally his ia
theirs son; and it is well known that
the senior prophet teaches somewhat
similar doctrines, although it is far
away from his practice. Obedience to
God is not one Of the characteristics of
the Joseph f, Smith life, as he has con
fcssed and testified. He has admitted
that his daily conduct is in opposition
to the command Of the Almighty, as he
processes to believe il TO be; and he
has supplemented this defiance by open.
~ asserting that he has the right to
obey or to dIsobey God at his pleasure
That is the kind of God, he says, that
he believes in. However, if in his as
sumed position as the mouthpieco OF
heaven, Joseph F. should utter an edict
he would declare apostate every man
who refused to bow to it.
