We can offer close buyers every inducement they can possibly find in
Eastern markets , and save freight , besides delay in transportation from East
ern cities , which promises this fall to be a very serious drawback , on account
of deliys.
Having largely increased our stock for Pall Trade , we can offer Western
Merchants Greater Advantages and Closer Prices than ever before.
We ask the attention of Merchants who find it to their advantage to
buy where they can find the Best Stocks , at Closest Prices , getting their
goods quicker , buying often as ther ; trade demands and not run the risk of
carrying over large stocks of goods ,
Call and see us and convince yourselves , if St Joseph is not your Eest

SALT LAKK CITY , September 12.
Utah is now passing through n blood
less revolution. It is registration
week , and under the provision of the
Edmund's" " law , " air "polygantisfo and
wir B of polycamists arc disfranchised.
So wide is the latitude ajEiimcd by the
commissioners and registers , that not
only those who are now in polygamy ,
but all who ever have been , Mormon
or nou-Morwou , are being struck oft"
the registration lieta. It is oven as
\ sorted tr t men with only ono wife ,
which \\ifo was fortunately the wife of
a polyoi'nist , are ruled out. If this is
so , it h punishing for crime imparted
by inoculation with a voneBancc.
TOat will the Mormons do now ? is
a fpquont inquiry. It is not ftafo to
ha/ird / a conjecture , they don't seem
to/tnow / themselves. You have prob-
o. < y hoard of the Norfolk man's
fieose , that was "too big to swallow
, nd to hara to bito. " S ) it seems to-
jay the Mormons arc "toonunyto
'movo and too few to fifiht , "
even if they were inclined to
either of these methods of nettling
the vexed question. Submission to
the inevitable appears to bo the only
other alternative. But wo nil know
that religions die hard. Ni matter
bo they true or ftilso , that ia a factor
that does not enter into the question ;
a man will Gght as fiercely for a false
faith a.3 n true one ; if it bo true to
him that is sullicient. No ono of av >
oragn sanity will accuse all the ' 'Lit-
tor-day Saints" of being hypocrites ,
such would bo too great au absurdity ,
and their past history docs not war
rant UQ uweepini ; un assertion ; horco
wo have a coi.ilict in which one nidi ,
< vttxny rate , laipely be'ieves that the
IBSUO ia n religious one. Thus far
the policy seems to bo to accept the
situation as gracefully as possible and
test by legal suit * the right of congress
to pans a law which distranchiooa men
for an alleged crime without a legal
conviction. It is hold that registers
are not judicial oflicers and consequently
quently cannot decide tlio question of
a man's criminality. Only after men
have boon proven guilty by a tainl ac
cording to law can they and their
families bo debarred the exercise of
the voting power. Such is the position
of those who are defending the rights
of the disfranchised.
Another complication has entered
into the contest. No election was
held August. The governor , under an
amendment to the civil sundry appro
priation bill , claims the authority to
fill the ollices. The present incum
bents declare there are no vacancies ,
as they hold ever under the law until
their successors are elected and quali
fied. As yet the governor has not
not made public any of his appoint
ments , but when ho docs we are noii-
fied ho will commence firing all along
the line. There are nearly 300 local
offices in which the incumbents are
now holding over , and awaiting a quo
Lwarranto , mandamus or some other
"f mU ve by which the legality of their
may be tested.
Saition November the election for ter
ritorial delegate will take place. Will
It will be an easy victory for the Gou-
tile f 1(0pinions differ , and that wide
' (
ly'Notwithstanding no votes will bo
cut iby polygamists , past or present ,
'
lheir'wivea and widows , yet there ia
till a'Mormon majority , Tlio dis-
Jranchlaoraont of so many of their co-
I
religionists has raised the ardor of the
monogtunic section of the church ami
, they nre battening to .naturalize by the
scovo iu\d hundred. I am not oxat-
goratintr. The United States courts
in the three several judicial districts
are turnii'g out full fledged citizens
from early to late , with monotonous
rapidity. I believe two thousand
aliens have been naturalized during
the laat ton days. To these add the
native born just coming to ago , and
thoao who until now have boon too
indifferent to vote , and it will bo
found that the registration Hit is not
so wonderfully diminished. The next
point of attack must bo the woman
voters. Thev form fifty per cent of
the voting population , that is of the
party who form thi mrvjority. Take
these nway and the two forces would
would bacomo more equal. To test
the validity of the teritorial woman
suffraRo law test caces have boon got
ten up , by the registers refusing to
record the namoi of certain ladies on
their poll sheets. The organizers of
this arrangement , in which Governor
Murray takes much interest , nro son-
if the judges will take so heavy a ro-
nponsibility , in the fuco of the
strong feeling that is manifested
in many parts of the nation ia favor of
an extension of the suftr.igo. But in
so many respects Utah is sue generis ,
and what la sauce for the gooao is not
aauco for the gander , so far as she ia
concerned , that 1' is unwise to specu
late on what will bo dono.
Neither party has yet held its no
initiating convention , ao nothing de
finite can be aaid with regard to who
will bo. The liberal ( Gontileparty ) will
nominate Mr. Parley L. Williams , a
Salt Take attorney , the son and son-
in-law of Mormons , but himnolf is not
that sort of a young man. The sur
mises regarding the action of the
Mormons is all at eoa ; many think
that Mr. John I. Oaine , city recorder ,
will bo the fortunate ono , others wi.h
prophetic eye name \V. W. Riter , Esq. ,
manager of the Utah & Nevada rail
road , whilst others imagine Mr. F. S ,
Richards , n rising young attorney of
Ogden , will bo selected , Noua vcr-
rous , probably a dark horse will win.
Notwithstanding all the anticipated
complications , business keeps good.
Zion's co-operative Is doing a business
equal to about Sr > ,000,000 per annum ,
smaller firms are also doing well. A
largo number of new firms have
sprung into existence thia year , very
( . ' ( morally of Mormon proprietorship ,
Tno paBaago of the Edmund law has
doubtleps done Bomo non-Mormon
firmi a h.uvy injury , and those young
establishm mta arereapitig the benefit.
It has buen the policy of the Mormon
leaders to discourage thcso young people
ple fromgoing intomorcantilepurauits ,
but lately thu policy has been moder
ated , and it is possible the thing maybe
bo overdone. Hut as long na railroad
building continues , the mines yield
reasonably , nnd the wheat and potato
harvests uro good , the effect of thia
rush for "merchandising" will not bo
felt , hut when them is no more rail
road building , or crops fail , then look
out. WENO

Outlawry in Don Molnos.
DEsMoiNES , September 17. Satur
day afternoon at four o'clock a man
entered the grocery of J. li , James
and finding Mr. Jnmoa alone struck
him down with an iron fiah plato b.\r
in order to rob the store. Just at this
juncture a clerk , who had been out of
the store , returned , nnd the robber
alarmed by this ran away , The clrrk ,
cccing Mr. James lying prostrate and
blooding , instantly gave chase to the
robber. The latter turned seve
ral times as ho ran and
threatened to shoot htm if ho
still followed him , but the clerk
followed him down through the city
imd finally w < ta reinforced by other
mon nnd nftor running ever a mile the
villain was captured and lodged in
jail. Mr. James was taken homo stili
unconocioua , with hia skull fractured
by the hard blow dealt behind the
car. The doctors siy ho cannot live
till morning. It id now thought that
this ia the man who killed Henry
Scribnor last week und assaulted and
cut Casper Tuesbay nsght , who ia ex
pected to die.
At this hour , nine o'clock , James is
reported as dying , and the ntroeta in
the city not far from the jail are filled
with crowds of excited mon threaten
ing to lynch the assassin. Ho gives
his name ns Bob Ilarrin , and is a man
ever six feet high and very athletic.
If James should die it will bo almost
impossible to keep him from being
lynched before morning. The city
has been in n tumult for ton days over
the many acts of lawlessness which
have boon committed. The grocery ,
whore the tragedy occurred , ia some
distance from the main business part
of the city.
A crowd of a thousand or fifteen
hundred have been to the jail and
crowding down through the lialla to
the rooms in the basement where the
prisoner was at first confined , demand
ed of the sheriff that ho bo produced.
Sheriff Littleton mounted a box nnd
pledged his honor to the crowd that
the man was not there in the jail nnd
that ho had been taken elsewhere.
The crowd grew more boisterous at
this , and the sheriff fearing that they
would batter down the doors and let
all the prisoners out , offered to lot a
committee of ten men bo appointed
by the mob and go with them through
the jail and ahoiV them
that the prisoner was not
there , Thia was done and ono of the
men who aided in the pursuit nnd
capture of Harris WAS ono of the com
mittee. The men then pasaod through
the jail and all the rooms and cells
and came out and reported that ho
wan not in the jail , Then the cry
was rained that ho hud boon taken to
the state araenal , and the mob have
just gone there. It is said by the of
ficials that ho will not bo found there ,
and they assort that ho has boon sent
out of the city under a strong i uard ,
The city ia intensely excited , and
thoio is little doubt the man will be
lynched if ho can bo found. This
is the third assault of this kind in
ton days , all made with an iron fish
plate , and It is now thought that this
man committed all cf them.
The mob did not find Harris at the
arsenal and returned to the court
house where it hung about the jail ,
they believing that the man was there
concealed In some of the vaults of the
county otliccs. It has now largely dis
persed , although there are many knots
of mon about the streets. Ic is stated
now that the sheriff got Harris out in
the country In a carriage at 8 o'clock ' ,
under the charge of two men , with
orders to them to shoot him if ho
should attempt to escape ,
THK riUSONKH ANIJ THK VICTIM.
DBS MOINES , September 17. There
seems to be no doubt that Harris was
the murderer of Scribnor , the assail
ant of Kestberg and the probable
murderer of James last night , who
now lies in a very precarious condi
tion Public sentiment seems to jus
tify and excuse the demonstrations
made last night and but little doubt
exists that Harris will bo lynched as
soon as the populace become advised
of the prisoner's whereabouts , which

ing. About half past 11 the Asia was
milking for French River and had
men , homes and lumbermen's supplies
for shanties. I saw three bouts loaded.
1 wan in the first bout. About 8 were
with me. At first more got in till the
boal was overloaded , and turned ever
twice , The people clung to 1117 lifo
preserver , which got dispacud , and I
throw it oil' I then left the boat and
uwiun to the captain's boat , which was
near by , and asked John McDougal ,
pnroor , to help me in , Ho said it was
but little use , but gave mo his hand.
When 1 got in there was eighteen in
the bout. By that time there was u
larger number clinging to the boat 1

boat. Our bout rolled over and I
missed MoDougall. People were hang
ing on the aparw and other parts of
wreckage. Our boat was full of water

UB , One of the first to die on the
boat was the cabin boy. Ho was
dying and being supported by ono of
the men when a wave washed him

boat hand , who jumped out , I could
BOO him paddling round in the water
for nearly 100 yards. Our number
was now reduced to 7 , Cvo

beach , Captain Savage , who was
the last , died in my arms about mid

1 put the bodies out on the
beach and pried the boat oil

out. Miss Morrison and I went down
the beach in u boat to Derrick , about
two miles OTntant , and laid on the
beach all night. About eight o'clock
