SSS C&rtS*JM$Ji0H LIVELY TESTIMONY The Smoot Case Brings Out a Creal Deal of Sensational Evidence MORMONS STILL POLYGAMISTS As the Investigation Advances lt Becomes /lore a^d More Evident That the Saints Are Pretty Tough Sinners. In the progress nf the investigation before the Senate Committee to test The right of Sen?tor-elect Reed Smoot to take his seat in the United States Senate, much testimony of a highly sensational character has been brought cut. The fact that polygamy is still an organic part of the doctrine and prac tice of the Mormon religion has been prominent all through the investiga tion. Prominent witnesses, high up in the councils of the church, have testi fied with more or less relish under the fire ol questions put them, that plural marriages are still the rule of the faith, and that many if not most of the offi cials of Mormonism are living ia direct and flagrant violation of the laws of the United States. After having Joseph H.- Smith, presi dent of the Mormon church, on the stand for nearly five hours before the senate committee on privileges and elections, which is investigating tha right of Reed Smoot to sit as a senator, both the prosecution and the defense announced that they were through with him and another witness waa called. This was Mrs. Clara Mabel Ken nedy, who told some secrets of the Mormon church which if not broken down, will pro^e as important as the statements by Resident Smith that he and other officials have been persist ently cohabiting with plural wives in violation of the law. Mr. Tayler asked for a detailed schedule of Mr. Smith's children born since 1890, and over the protest of Mr. Smith Chairman Burrows directed that the question be answered. Mr. Smith gave a list of children by the wives in the order in which he mar ried them. The list is as follows: By Julina-Edith and Rachael. By Sarah-Aseneth and Jaennetta. By Edna-Martha and one child which died. By Alice-Fielding, Jesse and An drew. By Mary-Silas, Agnes. James and maybe Calvin. He said he did not know the age of thc last named. Chairman Burrows inquired: "How many children have you now?" "Forty-two,* 'was the .answer. "21 boys and 21 girls, and I am proud of every one of them." Senator Overman sai ci that he had a pamphlet saying that Jesus Christ was a polygamist. Turning to Mr. Smith he asked: "Is that what your church teaches?" "No, sir," was the response. "What we teach ls that Jesus Christ was de scended through a long line of polyga mists through David and down to Abraham." With that Mr. Smith left the stand, having been the only wit ness in the five days the hearing had progressed. The prosecution then called to the stand Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy of Sevier county, Utah, who testified to having been married into a plural marriage since the manifesto of 1890. She said the ceremony had been pei1 formed by an apostle of the Mormon church. Mrs. Kennedy said she was born in Albany, 27 years ago, of kjr mon parents. The family moved to Diaz, Mexico, when she was about four years old, where she lived until she was 17 j'ecrs old. when she was mar ried to James Francis Johnson, who already had one wile, Mrs. Kennedy said she met the first wife and they had "a slight interview" about join ing into the family as second wife. The first wife gave her consent to the ar rangement. According to arrangement Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and baby and the witness drove from Diaz to Jaurez, Mex., to be married. They remained there two weeks before the ceremony was per formed. "Where were you married? asked Mr. Taylor. "At the home of A. C. McDonald, the counselor to the first president of the state" (meaning the Mormon state), said the witness. "When?" "May 19, 1S9G." "Who married you?'* "Brother Young." "Do you mean Brigham Young, the apostle?" "Yes. sir." The witness was asked by Mr. Tayler if she had seen Apostle Young before and Sf\e said she had in Diaz and Jaure3 two or three times and that she could not be mistaken. She could not identify a picture of Young, however. Mrs. Kennedy said she lived with Mr. Johnson about five years, part of the time in the same house with the first wife and part of the time away from Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. She said she has two children by Mr. Johnson, one of which is now living. She sep arated from Mr. Johnson at the end of five years and about a year after that i?married Mr. Kennedy. "Why did you separate from your husband?" Senator Foraker asked. "Well, I could not stand the pressure any longer," she replied. "What do. you mean by 'could not stand thc pressure?' " asked Chairman Burrows. "Were you not treated right?" "No, sir, I was not," she said. "Would you have stayed if you had been treated right? It was not be cause you were opposed to Mormon ism?" was asked. "I am a Mormon still," she said. "Though I am not a very good one." "The prosecution called to the stand Mrs. Emma Matthews, of Marysville, Utah, mother of Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy. St?e has been a plural wife, but is not now. Mrs. Matthews said that she had had no objection to her daughter becoming Johnson's plural wife. She remember ed well the marriage of Johnson to her daughter, and fixed the date definitely ai May, 1S94. It was brought out that Apostle Teasdale had advised her against allowing her daughter to be come a plural wife, on the ground that Il was against the law of the,Church. Mr. Merrill was temporarily recalled and questioned by Senator Dubois, who asked: "Mr. Merrill, do you still uphold the doctrine of polygamy?" "No, sir," was the reply. "But you practice it?" "I do." Francis M. Lyman, an apostle of the Mormon Chu.-ch and the prospective successor of Mr. Smith as president of the church, wa^ the next witness. "Arc you a polygamist?" Mr. Taylor asked, and the witness replied frankly, "Yes." He said that he had had three wives and that of them two are still living. Mr. Lyman said that he had been one of the signers of the prayer for amnesty, pledging himself to all that it contained. Mr. Taylor read portions of the pray er. "Did you," he asked, "Interpret that to mean that you would abstain from polygamous cohabitation?" "I interpreted lt to mean that I should do all that was right." . "Djd-you think it would be right to abstain from polygamous cohabita tion?" This was not answered directly at the tithe. Mr. Lyman finally admitted he knew tbK in living In polygamy he jwae disobeying both the law of the land and the rule of his Church. He also said iu reply to one of these questions that he was not only now living in polyg amous cohabitation, but that he ex pected to do so to the last. Mr. Hear at last took the witness in 'hand Und brought out a succinct state ment from him, which was of a char acter to interest all present. "Referring to the rule of which you have spoken," Mr. Hoar said, "you un derstand the rule or law of tho Church to be the lav/ of God. do you not?" Mr. Lyman replied that such was his understanding. "Then you are living and Intend to live in violation of the law of God and man?" "I fully intend," said Mr. Lyman, "to be true to the law of my country, to my God and to my obligations and convenants with my wives, and I have never done a thing that my conscience did not approve."

Dead weeds form har boring places' for held mice and in sects, and during windy days, after the weeds are thoroughly dry, they are blown to other fields. By burning all refuse there will bo fewer weeds turned under next spring. RATIONS FOR FOWLS. One of the most successful farmer-; poultrymen in the country says that he allows his laying hens to balance their own rations. That is. he furnishes them with thc different kinds of grains, cut bones, grit and animal food in thc proper quantities, each sepa rated from tho other and permits them to eat as they will. In this way, it is claimed, each fowl's instinct will teach it lo eat of the grain that its system demands. There may be good objections to this plan, but it is advocated herc as a compromise for those who are not inclined to go to the trouble of bal ancing thc lotions for Ibo hens. Tho main point in this method is uot to give Hie hens, in thc several ingre dients composing thc rations, more, in all. than they will likely eat clean. Thc plan is well worth trying, for it can do no harm if care is taken not to permit the birds to overfeed.-Indian apolis News WET WEATHER POULTRY. It would seem that ducklings would thrive in wet weather, hut they don't. Even the water fowls thrive belter if there is sonic sunshine. It's a great deal more so with chicks. Health and growth do not go partners with damp, sour crops and continuous cloudy, cool wea flier. When we conic to think of it, sunshine is necessary to all lite, whether animal or vegetable. There is something about sunshine that is very different from other kinds of heat. I have noticed this in poultry raising for a long time, live stock men notice it. thc florists in the green houses perhaps more fully appreciate it. While it is impossible to stop (he rain or make thc sunshine, it is not impossible to clean ont thu coop??, to hoist thom up out of thc mud and kill off Ibo parasites, put in some dry chaff or something of that nature and give the chicks some chance for their existence. Wc can go still further and thin out the bunches of them, piled up here and there in corners. Every thing goes to show that thc trouble or bad luck attending raising chicks is mostly with ourselves. More care would mean greater success.-M. M. .Tohnson, in Commercial Poultry. WHEE/, HOE. The accompanying cut explains it self. Use an old bucksaw, bent at right angles for blade: eight inches is wide enough for onions, etc.. in fouu teen inch rows. Have thc blacksmith punch the holes for bolts and turn tho corners. A wooden wheel will do. Thc largo wheel of an old sewing ma chine is liest. The average farm boy will have it built and out in the snow with it to see if it hangs right before you know it. On good garden soil, free from stones, he will do ns much with it in ten minutes as you can with a hoe in one hour.-John Jackson, in The Epitoiuist. POULTRY NOTES. . Give thc chicks due grit willi ihyir first food. They must get their first teeth carly in life. Never trust io luck in your poultry yard. Have a system and live up to it at all seasons of the year. Don't let ducks and geese stay where young chicks are kept. The two will - never thrive in the same yards. Too many eggs under a setting hen will -always result in poor hatches. Better have too few than too many. Brooder chicks never have gapes, which proves that filth gathered from the yards is the cause of the trouble. Don't blaine the breed if your hens do not lay. If your methods are wrong the hens need pity rather than cen sure. The early hatched pullets make the best layers, even the following year, so try to have them hatched during Feb ruary and March. After thc first week little chicks will stand the cold weather all right if they have a warra dry place to run when they prefer. Chickens mus? never be allowed to^ get wet. Dew is fatal to them, and they should never lie allowed out dur ing the early morning. Keep only one pure breed of fowls and try to improve that each year. By careful attention they will con stantly grow better. When Will Coal Give Out? It appears that then: Is coal in the United Kingdom to :i depth o? 4000 fee":, sufficient, at about the present *ratc ol output, to sonic" fer 371 years, but that this period will be consider ably extended, seeing I hot there is ev ery probability that mining can bc carried on to a depth of 7000 feet, though at this depth lhere will not be anything like the area of coal that there is at the former limit. And it further seems probable to expect that this period ol' supply may. be still further extended by Hie more ceo-, noralcnl usc ol' fuel, due to the estab lishment of central electrical supply stations, and thc utilization of Aloud and other gas-producing processes, and ol' gas-driven engines, as well ns other means ol' obtaining a higher percentage of thc heat value of Hie fuel.-Engi neering Magazine.

Seldom' has a more remarkablo con fession been made in public by a rep resentative man that was uttered by Slr Norman Lockyer. President of the British Association for the Advance ment of Science, which met on Sep tember 9, at Southport, England. Re calling Captain .Mali au's demonstra tion of the influence ol' sea power on history, Sir Norman pointed out that Englishmen were keenly alive to the Importance of their navy, and that they had but little to fear from a hos tile combination of maritime states. The danger that confronted them, he said, lay Jn a different quarter, and arose from a grave though corrigible deficiency. Englishmen were threat ened, he believed, with eventual ouster from the markets of the world, be cause of the superior energy displayed by their commercial rivals in the ap plication of intellect to industry. What England stood in Increasing need of, by comparison with Germany and the United States, was not sea power, but brain power. There was, of course, no lack of native ability in Great Brit ain, but it was not applied with the requisite sagacity and vigor through scientific channels to the develop ment of manufactures and trade. The educational system of Great Britain is relatively antiquated and inadequate, because the facilities provided for scientific research are not commensu rate with the nation's necessities. This Sir Norman proceeded to prove by a citation of significant statistics. He reminded his countrymen that in Great Britain there were but eleven universities which had to compete with twenty-two universities in Ger many, and with no fewer than one hundred and thirty-four state-sup- j ported or privately endowed universi ties of the United States. Attention was directed to the fact that the Prus sian government gives to a single in strument of the higher education, the University of Berlin, more money than the British government allows to all the universities and university-colleges in England.
