March 8-(Speclal Tele gram.) Quiet but determined opposition la developing against the bill recently Intro duced by Representative Walter I. Rmlth of the Council UlulTa district, extending the time n which to erect a bridge across the Missouri river between Omaha and Council UlulTa. It la pointed out that In the doping days of th Fifty-seventh congress a bill wrj passed granting a charter to a cr-m-iany for the conatructlon of a bridge acroa the Missouri t.'ver at South Omaha and yet. ao far aa can tie ascertained, tho company has never filed a drawing with the War department showing the manner of con struction or draw spans, nor has It com- Med In a single particular with the terms of the bill. The bridge between Council 1! luffs and Omaha Is said to be In the same category, having no responsible bricking that would Insure Its erection, even though the time for Its construction was extended. While there may be no great opposition to Judge Smith's bill In the house, It will have a rocky road to travel before It gets through the senate, according to several senators who believe there are bridges enough between.

TK SYftFT SPCCtrtG CO., ATtAMTA, CAs but that she had never stayed all night there, and that so far as he knew his father did not know that he had a wife already when he was married by his father to the woman he calls his legal wife. Mr. Merrill said his father Is still living and Is still an apostle of the church, but that he Is very feeble. In regard to his father, Mer rill said he had a father with six wives and that he had twenty brothers and seven teen sisters. He was nsked how many nephews and nieces be had, .and said he did not know, but thought there were more than 100. 'My father lives with his first wife and comes to the home of my mother probably not more than once a month," he said. "My father is a very busy man," the wit ness supplemented. Mr. Merrill thought three of his brothers have married plural wives and that two of his sisters had married Into polygamous families. The prosecution called to the stand Mrs, Emma Matthews of Marysvllle, Utah, mother of Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy. Mrs. Matthews said she had been a member of a Mormon family for twenty-five years and la a Mormon herself. She has been I plural wife, but Is not now. Mrs. Ken nedy Is the child of Mrs. Matthews' first huaband and was born before Mrs. Mat thews became a Mormon. Mrs. Matthews said Mrs. Kennedy Is 26 or 27 years old and had gone to Dial with her parents sixteen years ago. Mother Permitted Plnral Marriage. Mrs. Matthews said that while living at Diss she had known Mr. Johnson for two years prior to his marriage to her daughter and that she had had no objection to her daughter becoming his plural wife. She re membered well the marriage of Johnson to her daughter and fixed the date definitely at May, 1S94. "lie Just asked me If I was willing that he should marry my daughter and I said yes,' Bald the witness. ' She wanted to wait unUl she was IS, but he was not willing." She saw both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, the first wife, when they and the daughter who was to become the second wife left for Juares. "You know they were going to Juarei?" "Yes." "Did you know your daughter was to be married then to Johnson?" "I did not." "Why did you stppose she was gotngT" "I did not know." "Then you did not see her married?" "I did not." "Has she ever told you that she was married to Johnson then?" "She has not; I never asked her." These questions were put by Mr. Taylor. When he oonoluded Mr. Worthington asked number of questions by which the tact was brought out that Apostle Teasdale had advised bar against (Jlowlng her daughter to become a plural wife on the ground that It was against the law of the church. Mrs. Matthews also gave some facts con cernlng her own history In response to questions by members of the committee. She Is a native of England, and while living a widow In that country had become converted to Mot-monism about 1884 by Qoorge Birber, missionary of the Mormon church. She afterward came to Utah and married Barber, becoming his third wife. She had, she said, eenbraoed Mormonlsm, knowing that Inculcated polygamy, but hen she became a plural wife she was not told that polygamy was against the law of the land. Mr. Merrill was temporarily recalled and questioned by Senator Dubois, who said: "Mr. Merrill, ' do you still upnold the doctrine of polygamy?" "No, sir." was the reply. "But you practice It?" "I do." "How do you reconcile the' two state ments?" one of the committee asked. The witness did not reply, but a member of the committee Illustrated by saying he was like ths man Who was for prohibition, but against the enforcement of It F. M. 1yman on Stand. Francis M. Lyman, one of the apostles of the Mormon church and the prospective successor of Mr. Smith aa president of the church, was the next witness. He was born sixty-four years ago and has been an apostle since 1880. "Are you a polygamtst?" Mr. Taylor asked, and the witness replied frankly "Yes." Ho catd that he had had three wives and that of them two are still living. By his second wife, to whom he was married In 1884, he had had five children, the last being born In 1900. Mr. Lyman said that he had been one of the signers of the prayer for smnesty, pledging him self to all that It contained. , He did not, however, recall Just what It contained. Mr. Taylor read portions of the prayer, "Did you," he asked, "Interpret that to mean that you would abstain from polyga mous cohabitation?" "I Interpreted It to mean that I should do all that was right." "Did you think It would be right to ab stain from polygamous cohabitation?" This was not answered directly at the time. Several queatlona by members of the committee followed In rapid succession and Mr. Lyman admitted In response to them that he knew that In living In polyg amy he was disobeying both the law of the land and the rule of hla church. He also said In reply to one of these questions that he was not only now living In polygamous cohabitation, but that hs expected to con tlnue so to live. Mr. Hoar at last took the witness in hand and brought out a statement from him which was of a character to Interest all present. "Referring to the rule of which you have spoken," Mr. Hoar said, "you understood the rule or law of the church to be the law of Ood, do you not?" Mr. Dyman replied that such was his un deratandlng "Than you are living, and Intend to live, In violation of the law of Ood and man?' Lived Always la Polf gaaay. I fully Intend, said Mr. Lyman, allowing a disposition to elaborate more than he had done, "to be true to the law of my country, to my Ood and to my obligations and covenants with my wives, and I have never done a thing that my conscience did not approve." Senator Hoar So you, an apostle of your church, expecting to succeed Mr. Smith In the presidency and In that capacity to re calve divine revelations yourself, confers that you are now living and expect to con' tlnue to live In disobedience of the law of the country, the law of your church and the law of Ood? iam witness repuea witn a simple "yea. He added in reply to a question from Sen ator Dubois that he considered It his duty to Uve with and protect h's wives. Mi. Lyman said he became an apostle In 1880 and that Reed Smoot became an apostle lasUu0. He said Mr. Smoot had never reproved him (or living la polygamy, tlthor In public or In the apostolic meet Inga. If I am thought worthy I will succeed to the presidency of the Mormon church. If I survive President Smith," said Mr. Ly man In answer to a question. Mr. Lymnn nald that he Is the presiding officer of th twelve apostles. The name of John Henry Smith, a polygamlst, was given as the sec ond member of the twelve apostles and that of George Teasdnle, a polygamlst, as the third apostle, Heber J. Grant, a polyga mlst, fourth; John W. Taylor, a polyga mlst. fifth; Mr. Merrill, a polygamlst,- sixth, making five apostles .who are conceded to be polygamlats. Senator Smoot has attended the meet ings of the apostles," said Mr. Lyman, and ha taken part In the exercise at the weekly meetings. The witness snld he had never Introduced any of his wives to Mr. Smoot. "The meetings of the apostles are held In the temple," said Mr. Lyman. He was asked the difference between the endow ment house and the temple and snld the former was only a temporary building, used for sacred purposes until the temple was completed. Chairman Burrows asked concerning the nature of the marriage service, known as "going through the endowment house," and objection was made by Mr. Worthing ton, on the ground that It did not assums that Mr. Smoot had any knowledge of the ceremony. As to Endowment Honae. Chairman Burrows said It had been as serted that Senator Smoot had gone through the endowment house and had taken some oath there that might con flict with hts oath as a senator. Mr. Lyman said he could not state ths service If It wus to save his life. He might approximate and being told to do so, said that he agreed to live an upright life and that he had not taken any oath against any person or anything that might conflict with any law of the country. Mr. Lyman said the members of the first presidency and the apostles had never dis cussed the advisability of prosecuting per sons engaged In polygamous cohabitation. Apostle Smoot never knew I had mora than one wife," said Mr. Lymnn In answer to a question rs to what the defendant knows of the polygnmlst state, in which certain of his brother officials are living. Mr. Lyman said he had seen more than one of President Smith's wives at the offi cial residence of the president at the same time, but on none of these occasions had Mr. Smoot been present, Senator Pettus Inquired concerning the authority given to Mr. Smoot to become a candidate for senator and Mr. Lyman said consent under a rule of the church must have been given by President Smith, Mr. Lyman Has Revelations. "Apostles Grant and Teasdale were chosen by revelation to President Snow," said Mr. Lyman, "and a revelation was also given me In regard to these men." Did Senator Smoot know you were liv ing with plural wives?" was asked. Mr. Lyman answered that Senator Smoot did not know, as he never had met any one of his wives. He said pepple In gen eral In Utah knew, but he did not think Mr. Smoot had any knowledge of the fact, he was so generally known and his repu tation was so wide that what was admitted generally would be accepted by the people. Chairman Burrows asked Mr. Lyman In regard to the reorganised church of Latter Day Saints at Lamonl, la., Of which a Son of Joseph Smith, the prophet, Is the head, and Mr. Lyman gave his ideas of the dif ferences between the two organizations. He was asked If the reorganised church did not denounce polygamy and he answered; They denounce It ao hard that it almost provokes us to defend It." Both the prosecution and defense an nounced they had concluded with Apostle Lyman and he was discharged. The com mittee adjourned until tomorrow. r 1 4 1? N v ; M.

WONDERFUL CURE OF SORE HANDS By Cutlcura After the Most Awful Suffering Ever Experienced. EIGHT DOCTORS And Many Remedies FalleJ to do Cent's Worth of dood. M About five years Sfo I was troubled with sore bands, so sore that when I wcold pat thm la water the pain would very nearly set me eraiy, the skin would peel off and the flesh would get hard and break. There would be blood flow In g from at least fifty places on each band. Words could never tell the suf fering I endured for three years. I tried everything that I was told to nse for fully three years, but could get no relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none of them seemed to do me an good, as my hands were as bad when I got through doctoring as when 1 first began. I also tried many reme dies, but none of them ever did me one cent's worth of good. I was discour aged and heart-sore. I would feel so bad mornings when I got np, to think I had to go to work and stand the pala for tea hours, and I often felt like giv ing np my position. Before I started to work mornings I would have to wrap every linger np separately, so as to try and keep them soft and then wear gloves over the .rags to keep the grease from getting on my work. At night I would have to wear gloves In bed. In fact, I bad to wear gloves ail the time. Bat thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of all great skin cures. After doctoring for three years, and spending much money, a 60c box of Cnllcnra Ointment ended all my suffer ings.
