After the people of Idaho had sue
ceeded in getting four Mormon ilders
into quod for too much niarying at the
endowment house, it was a wet blanket
to have them immediately pardoned out
by President Cleveland. Hence they are
yery much stirred up ulKiut it and may
be impelled to take what is left of the
Edmunds law into their own hands here
after. Many of the inhabitants of Idaho
feel towards the Mormon elders very
much as the average Californian does

HAVING WAR IMPOSSIBLE.
It was the opinion of Gcnetal Sheridan
. that in th course of time war would be
come so destructive that it would finally
cease on account of its tlestructiven' ss.
"When improvements in the implements
of war will make it possible to destroy
whole regiments for the one soldier now
killed in battle nations will be placed
under bonds to keep the peace, in that
way arbitration will finally be sub.-titu-ted
for war.
The recent invention of a new explo
Ive by Gorman chemists has done some
thing to prepare the way for the fulfill
ment of General Sheridan's prediction.
Experts are convinced that this new ex
plosive can destroy the strongest iirts
within a few hours. It is said that it
will revolutionize the whole fortress
system, rending useless great closed fort
works and necessititing movable defen
sive workseucloscd in iron clad bulwarks.
The use of this new explosive will be
arjother step in the direction of making
xvar impossible. It is bound to le fol
lowed by other improvement in the
civilized art of destroying himnwi lib.

predicted would be thu result of war

Tho Burdens of Womanhood
Thousands of women are silently buf
fering untold misery, simply because they
shrink from consulting a physician in
those numerous complaints arising from
functional irregularities and disorders.
Many a modest girl and woman prefers
to bear her heavy burden in silence rather
than to go to the family physician for
advice. All sufferers from this cla.-s of
dirorders can, however, find prompt find
sure relief in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It is a specific in such ca'-es,
and has brightened the lives of countless
women by restoring them to perfect
health.
Tho ?.Iuslc it? Mozart.
Tiio neglect of Mozart in these days is
a circumstance to bo deeply regretted,
ia tho works of that composer arc calcu
late 1, above all others, to promoto a
healthy development of tho musical in
stinct. Put tho present ra.qo for sc-nsa-iona!isin,
which may bo designated as
tho triumph of mutter over mind, has
exercised nuch a mischievous influence
that it bus now become tho fashion to
decry Mozart as altogether too trivial and
plain Epokcn for modern tste. The
piani.it who who prepares for his t."sk us
ihou;,!i ho were a pugilist about to enter
in a listic encounter, and commits an
aggravated assault on tho unfortunate
;i.i:;o, thereby appealing chiefly to the
lower instincts of bis auditors who pre
fer to be astonished rather than odiiied
is now in favor.
Tl'-.' re::ult is that the true standard of
art has been lowered, and the exquisite
gracv and inspired charm of tho author
i f L'ou Giovanni" havo been superseded
by t'.u noisy and too often incoherent
ravings of modern comiiosera of the so
calh .l advanced school. Of course every
real i.iii.-t must bo thoroughly equipped
and ijiud to every mechanical diiiiculty
to be met with in tho works of composers

pose f displaying tho performer's digital

crcnt'btudv of Mozart's piano works is,
ufiovo all things, calculated to check tha
elluiive icrsonality which eo unpleas

"One of the oueerest things about
Nevada, and one that has kept me won
dering." fcaid Tom L. tkllers. of Carson,
to an Examiner rcjorter at the Baldwin,
"are tho:-e wild horses. 1 have lived in
Nevada twenty-six years. A good deal
of that time I have been in theComstock
range, hut when not there mining 1 have
Ix-en olf in tho hills of Dougka;, Nye,
Churchill and Lauder counties.
"It is in these that many bands of
wild horses roam at their pleasure, both
winter a.nd summer. In winter the wild
bom s usually seek shelter in the l'ine
nut range of ljouglas county.
"This I'inenut range extends for sov-enty-live
or a hundred miles out toward
Utah, and is covered with a thick grow th
of shrublike j ines, which bear a nutritious
nut and which give ample shelter, while
allortiing the seclusion which tin? wild
hands seek. The Indians used to live on
this nut, ami they do yet to some extent,
but in the valleys I .-clow the pines, and
growing at intervals among them, is a
very nutritious grass. It is on this that
tho wild horses live.
li:ce mi"STan;r.
"Tha real mountain wild horse is a
mustang of large size. 11 is shoulders
are unfilled for tho collar, not being so
heavy as those of tho American horse,
and be is a mountain climber, scarcely
excelled by the wild goat.
"Every color, from bright hay to iron
gray, while and black, can l-o found.
For steady running nothing of the equine
breed can equal him. The racers w hich
run on our tracks would outrun him for
a couple of miles, ierhaps, but they have
not the staying qualities of the wild
ones.
"I am just in from the Pinonut range.
I went over there hunting deer in com
pany with William ilcKcndreo and John
Thiir.-.ton, of 1 "iodic. We fell afoul of a
band of about twenty wild horses that
lathed into our camp and liked to have
made us walk mora than 100 miles. It
was aliout 10 o'clock, and wo had just
turned in.
"Our camp fire was yet brightly
.lazing, and I heard a roar off to the
no'liiwest like the tread of an advancing
army. We were on Iho northwest side
of the range, and there was a steady in
cline right down to us for a couple of
miles. I gazed out into the dim light,
but could seo nothing, as tho lire into
which 1 had previously been looking and
thinking blurred my eyes.
"The roar continued and I called to
Thui.-;ioii am McKendree to get up, and
that something was going (o happen.
One said it was a storm brewing away
olF in the hills and the other thought it
was an earthquake.
"All three of us peered forth into the
daruisvs. Our four horses grew uneasy
and dashed around and pulled at their
la rials.
"In a minute we saw the band emerge
from .1 stretch of pines and come on to
ward us. They were running at a fear
fid rate; their nostrils were dilated, and
tiK-ir long manes and tails flying in the
wind. Their eyes Hashed fire, and none
of us could understand tho reason of
their flight. On they came, seemingly
seeking protection, and dashed right up
to l!M.
"We saw we were to be ground under
their heels unless wo did something, and
wo began to shout and halloo for all ' -.
were worth.
"Our horses were meantime dash' .;
ami charging, and it looked as if ev : .
instant they would break away. We
grasu-'id our guns and 11 red over f
heads of tho hora:-, for fhey were
pretty that we didn't want to kill thorn.
"Finally, just at tho last second of
time, when wo thought wo were to be
L..0Tr down by tho wild throng, they
turned and dashed down tho hiil into the
darkness.
"Py this time we began to hear ve;rd
howls and neighing and stamping.
Eery once in a while we heard a
whack, as though something was hitting
something else with terrific force, com
bined n-;t! louder how ls. The noise was
just behind tho spur of pinonut trees, a
quarter of a mile away. It continued
louder than ever, and two of us con
cluded to push on out and see what the
rumpus was.
' J e-dgo of our surprise when we see
three old stallions surrounded by a pack
of big mountain wolveJand kicking and
biting for all they were worth. Three or
lour of tho wolves had been sent to
grass, their ribs broken and disabled in
other ways.
A FTEIiCE COMBAT.
"Around the stallions were the able
bodied wolves, snapping and growling
and showing thi-ir Jong, white, vicious
teeth. Their eyes gleamed vickedly in
the darkness. The side of ono of the
horses was bitten and bleeding.
"The horses stood almost head to head
and planted terrific blows on tho heads
and oodies of the wolves.
"Every onco in a while a wolf de
scribed a parabola in the air. It was a
scene long to be remembered. Out there
in the keen, crisp night air of the inoun
tains the three wild horses were fighting
not only for their lives, but for the lives
of the younger and weaker members of
tho band, who were being defended from
the wolves, who, hungry, had stolen in
upon them.
"We fired on the .volc-o, and for a
minute there was as interesting a fusil
lade as you could wish to see. We shot
right into the pack, to the right and left
of the horses, and several cf the big gray
wcjves bit the dust. They did not give
up right off, though.
"They still eyed nnd snapped violently
at the horses, ppd even when we had
disrupted tho band by our firing and tlie
horses turned to run away somo of thp
wolves followed them. A shot from
Thurston's gun, however, fixed the old
iead wolf, and another ball crippled the
next," and tha wild horses fied far away
to join the batid which they had so valor
ously defended. - ' '
"In a moment there was iiotlang bui
the distant resounding of hoofs, as thd
horses tied far down the edge of the little
bireanj in Tha distance. The wolves took
a back track to tho trees far back on the
Fincuut range, and we saw 110 more of
them that night, though you may bo
6ure that one or the other cf us was
awake until broad daylight. San Fran

"Tell mo Eomething of the daily life of
the empress," said I.
"Sho has," replied the court chamber
lain, "an establishment of her own, and
it is quite a largo one. She has her maids
of honor, her private secretaries and the
ladies of tho court to deal with. Her
morning is occupied by tho reading and
writing of letters. Sho attends to the su
pervision of her various charities through
others chielly, and in tho afternoon she
devotes herself to social duties. She re
ceives at this time the wives of the min
isters and thu. princesses who may call
upon her, and if they come at tho proper
time they sometimes take tea with her.
She sometimes invites these ladies to
meetings to discuss matters relating to
tho charity hospital, and she has a grand
marshal and a chamberlain.
"Sho is, you know, tho lirst empress of
tho new order of things, even as the em
peror is the iirst emperor. She weara
but little jewelry, though she has some
diamond rings and bracelets. Sho is a
lino horseback rider, and often takes a
turn on ono of the horses of the imperial
stables. She wears a European riding
habit and sits her horse well."
Tho emperor, the empress and the
crown prince make up the royal

Yesterday morning J. II. Gulliford, of
the Elephant Feed yard, was sent for
port haste with the message that there
was a man at the yard that wanted to
sell him some hay. "That's the man
I'm looking for," said John II.; "if there
is pny man on top of the earth whom 1
woufd like to se'it -s a man with hay' to
sell." He found the stranger a'nt) struck
a bargain. The man with hay to Bell
wanted 10 to bind the bargain. This
was refused, but a compromise was
effected and $-1 was paid on account.
The mm was about to walk off, telling
Mr. Uuiki.Oid that he could whistle for
his liay. Then the lioys 'augbed. as boys
will, and John thought lie wa&' Bold' and
felt like he had let a bird go. Then u
good look at the stranger revealed the
fact that he was a brother who had come
over trom I'rjneville on a visit. They

There are at present doing business
within a radius of ten miles of the New
York city hall aliout neventy of these co
operative concerns, most of them having

years. It is estimated that about 30,000
people are interested, either as investors
or home builders.
In England the co-operative savings
and building movement has made won
derful progress. The registrar's rejiort
ordered by the house of commons, which
Is published in The Building Societies
Gazette, of Ixmdon, contains a careful
analysis of the work done by the build
ing associations in the British Isles dur
ing the year IHHI. Considerable pro
gress is shown to have been made in the
operations during that year, and the
number of societies has been increased
from 2,207 to 2.318, having 605,421 mem
bers as against 581,081 in 1 880. The in
come was 21,14lj077, or nearly a half
million more than during the preceding
year. To show the real progress that
these societies have made in tho United
Kingdom the comparisons aro made be
tween the returns of 1878 and 1887, cov
ering a ieriod of nine years.

Irish societies show a falling off of 10,
402 only, as against 47,224 in the year
preceding. Mr. Michael J. Brown, in
The Philadelphia Ledger, says:
It is confidently expected that the
buildi&g associations of the United
States,' including the building society
land companies, where houses and jots
are being paid for on the installment
monthly plan, number over 4.000, with
assets averaging not less than $80,000, or
a grand total pf g320,000,000, exceeding
that pf England, Ireland, Scotland ami
Wales aj; least 70,000,000. During 'tb4
East twenty-four years it is ouite pohsf
le that the building associations of the
United States have turned over to mem

shares and canceled mortgages, at least
300,000,000. New York Daily News.
