This law was fully compiled with. The

Tale Ignored the law , created round up dis
tricts and prepared to murk thorn. This ilia
gal proceeding was ovldontly anticipated by
the coinmlsilon , for it has taken the field
with an nrmoa force of recruits , determined
to carry out Its plans with shot and shell.

Tlin Mormon Tnmpto.
Just as the sun reached tno zenltn on tbo
Oth inv. the capstone ot the great Mocmoti
tonipla in bolt Lake City was put In place by
President Woodruff in the presence of 50.0UU
Cheering peoplo. The Inylnir of this cap-
tone was the greatest ovuut in the history
pt Mormnnlsm. The Mormons say It , was
tbo grandest any ever soon In Israel. No
( fcooner wns the ceremony performed than the
tun , which hod been obscured bv a cloud ,
broke through Its misty veil. It was hulled
us a propitious omen. It was iutoadod that
President Woodruff should lay the stone
with bis own bands , and that tbo grand
chorus of DUO should stand on platforms
b.illt on the scaffolding nt the extreme height
, of tbo towers , but Jcmriui : an accldont , tnls
jldoa was abandoned und tbo stone was laid
from the ground oy electricity.
The Temple Dlock was the first pleco of
ground laid out by Drlchnrn Young in the
Bottlo.-nent of tbo city , in July , 1817. It was
than and there decided that tbo building of
Kion should begin nt that placo. The Temple
block was to contain forty iicrcs , aiid the
city blocks surrounding , ton acres eacti ,
exclusive of the streets , which wore to bo
eight rods wide , intersecting at right angles ,
with sidewalks twenty feet In width on
olthor sido. Four city ulocks wore rosorvca
for public squares. On the evening of July
U8 , the pioneer settlers assembled at the
temple grounds and unanimously ratified
the action of the president and apostles.
The sbo of the Temple block was after
wards reduced from forty to ten acres , und
RS the city extended toward the mountain
foothills the formation of blocks of live ,
Instond of ton acres , was recommended.
But generally the original plan romuinod
Unchanged and characterizes the city today.
-Thirty-nine ycnrsiiKO worlt was began , but
it hits not boon continuous. Even in its in-
completed state the temple has hoou the cen
tral magnet for tbouaands of tourists , not
only lor the magnitude of the undertaking ,
but also as representing the patience and
tenacity of purpose ol the Mormon pioneers
end their successors.
The designer of the temple was Brlghatn
'Voung himself , although n draugntsman
named Angoll drew the plans and superin
tended iho work up to about lour years ago.
The old drawings show tbo six lowers
omownnt lower in holght than they stand
today. The cast nnd west central towers are
surmounted by spires. Except for raising
Iho towers several courses of stone nnd
placing the largo bronze figure'of Gabriel on
the ccntrul eastern tower , the outside design
of tbo building is very llttlo changed from
the original. Following are some of the
principal dimensions :

A total of 150 courses of rock are in the

to bo an annex In tbo north of the temple

With tno main building by on underground
pnssngo 100 feet long loading to the base
ment of the tomplo. The present Idea is to
bavoulcctric wires running up the spires of
nil tno towers , and to has'o a 100-candlo light
fixed to tlio crown of tha angel , so that If
there should over bo occasion for an Illumina
tion a HDCctaclo of great magnificence could
bo seen.
For joars tbo gray gran i to of which the
tructuro is built was hauled by ox teams
from Little Cottonwooa Canyon , and it fro-
uontlv took four days to bring n single stone
? rom tlio quarry. The discovery of a de
fective stouo block near the foundation made
It necessary for the entire wall to bo taken
down and reset , the urchliocturo requiring
perfect oxaclitudo of dimension ,
Tlio figure for the central eastern tower
the Angel Gabrlol stands on a granlto ball
surmounting tno east central towor. It is of
hammered copper , measures thirteen foot in
freight and weighs about a ton.
The record of Mormonism slnca this hugo
frelUlous edifice was begun by Hrlghara
Young a generation ugo is of great interest.
In the erection ot tha temple $12,500,000 has
been spent and ? .MK,000 more will be re
quired to llnlsh It. Viewed solely as a re-
lleluus sect tbo Latter Day Saints Imvo bad
* tenacity of purnoao and virility in action
that huvo produced marvelous results.
Apart from their peculiar rltos , tholr belief

A convention of wottorn stackgrowors will
open In Ogden April 29. Various Important
questions are to bo considered , such as trans
portation , brands , fencing , wutor rights ,
tango privileges , Block ynrd , breeds ami
breeding ot cattla and quarantine. The gen
eral desire Is to Improve the condition of the
cattle business , and It is thought that no
bettor mer.ns of accomplishing ttiis end can
bodovisod than to got tno men who are di
rectly Interested in the business together in
a grand congress nnd lot them discuss the
situation and devise ways and moans of act-
In C us a unit , and as them is strength In
union , when the cattle Interest is once untied
omothlng will have to movo.
The states and territories embraced within
this call ores Utah , Nnvada , Idaho , Wvom-
"iff , California , Oregon , Montana , washington -
ton , Texas , Kansas , Colorndo. North Dakota ,
feouth UnkotB , Nebraska , Now Mexico , In

Une Interest taken In this congress Is really
uprising to tha gentlemen who flwt sug
gested the Idea of holding a congress. It Is
estimated that them will bo at loan 500 cat-
tlomou in attendance , \vhllo some think that
the number will not fall far ihort of 000.
The loading cattlemen ot the country are
taking a personal Interest in tha matter , and
all seem anxious to malto the .congress a
success.
t'uuir ' il'Ali'iiu Troublei.
j A serloun labor struggle is rugliif between
jf the inlno owners ana minors In the Cajur
a'Alono country. When the mines shut
down lait December It was given out by the
Mine Owner * association that the solo
reason was the extremely high ana unreasonable
enable freight rates charged for carrying
tuulr ores to the different smelting points
over the Hues of the Horthtirn and Union
raclflo railroads. This statement seemed
reasonable to the men , for the railroads had
recently advanced their ore rate 3 per ton ,
nnd that In the face of the fact that stiver
and lead were on too decline.
All the miners employed were given to
understand , and at some mines notices were
posted up. that when the mlnos opened up
all old hands would bo glvon the preference
over any newcomers applying for work , On
the strength of that promlso largo numbers
of minors remained In the Cuur d'Alonos ' ,
some renting houses nnd messing together ,
"batched" during the winter , runnlnc ac
counts with the merchant * and storekeepers ,
whllo otncrs stopped nt hotels nnd restau
rants , most of them owing for tholr living ,
eagerly walling and hoping for the mlnos to
open up , giving thorn a chance to place
themselves again on n sound footing.
The mtna combine , taking advantage of
the condition of the workmen and the clamor
for work , announced some weeks ago that
work would bo resumed April 4 , but that
wages would bo reduced from 1.60 to * 3 per
dny. The minors resisted and trouble bo-
Ran. Mlno owners are now endeavoring to
Import men from other camps. The pros
pect of success Is romoto. The minors'
union is tbo n.ost formidable labor organiza
tion lu tlio country , composed of men prompt
to resent Injustice with both money and
guns.
A \Vonclorliil Sight.
The slto recommended by the commission
for the now postofllco nt San Francisco
proves to bo woefully and wonderfully made.
The noted Colonel Irish , formerly of Iowa , a
democratic orator with a wild fantastic } uw ,
was n member of the commission to select
the slto , nnd the output of the exploration
Into the bowels of the selected ground proves
thu colonel's knowledge ot real cstato 19 bo
on n par with his political Judgment.
Tbo recommendation of iho commission
aroused such n furore locally lhat the consummation -
summation of the deal has been delayed for
months. It was charged that the localltv ,
Seventh and Mission slroots , was not only
too far distant from the business district , but
nlso lhat the once was exorbitant , and that
the ground was orU-lnnlly n swnmu. The
last chanjo stuck. Old maps of San Fran
cisco were hunted up , showing the ground lo
have been filled. An examination was or
dered. The test well now being sunk has
reached n depth of 109 fool , culling through
mud , sand andbluo clay. At this point a bed
of qulcksAndns discovered , which promptly
swallowed the drill and a sllco of tha cas
ing.Tlio
Tlio piospoot of striking a foundation
grows beautifully loss. A touching foaluro
of iho wont u the presence of Colonel
Irish wrapped in Intense melancholy , whllo
Ihu owners of the ground sit around ,
generating heart-shatterncr ! sobs as the
prospect of a sale gradually disappears.

Vlllotto Is the nnmo of u now mineral
dlstrlcl situated on Iho road bolweon Sara
toga nnd Gold Hill. It Is 3,000 feet lower
than Gold Hill. Hero some Omaha men
have stuck their stakes , expecting to rake in
n fortune. The leading man of tbo camp Is
George F. C.inls , formerly n member of
THE Bun staff , and present publisher of the
Saratoga Sun. Mr. Cams has maintained
from the lirst that Gold Hill would prove to
bo a silver camp , und It is a significant fact
tuat ho is largely Inlorostod in the now finds
nt Villotlo.
The formation underlying Iho Villello dis-
Irict is reached easily by drifls and lunnols
nnd work can bo carried on Ihroughout Iho
onlire year. Two rich finds have boon made
on a hill half n milo from. Vlllolto , onn of
rich free gold ere and the other a three foot
vein of high grade silver oro. Tunnels fifty
feet in length will top each vein nt n depth
of 500 foot. Within n few days nn Ingorboll
steam drill will bo sot to worlt on one of
these tunnels , and tno work pushed as
rapidly as men and means can do it for a
distance of at least 100 feet. Behind this
work is capital sufficient to not only open
those mines , but to put in machinery to work
thorn on a largo scale.

Richard Gird , U o owner of China ranch ,
California , has a contract wilb the Chino
Valley Boot , Sugar company to supply them
with all their beets lor five years. Last
year ho planted 8.000 acres ; this year ho will
plant 5OuO acres , nnd for the next thrco
yoar.3 will plant 7,001. ' acres oncb year. Ho
has already some 400 Mexicans thinning out
the beats and expects to deliver boots to the
factory nt a cosl ot $1.50 par Ion as against
the cost of S3 per ton last year. These boots
will brirgfrom Slto $7 per ton at Iho fac
tory according to their richness In sac
charine matter.
It is found that the more perfectly the
ground is prepared and tbo loniror it has
been under culllvalion Iho larger is Iho tou-
naco , and the richer In sugar is the boot.
Indications point to 30 par cent larijor ton
nage this year than was produced on the
sarno ground last year. For miles around
the factory it is one continuous oeet Held ,
some of Iho rows being over two and a half
miles long.
The Chlno plant belongs to tbo company
Ibat owns the Norfolk and Grand Island fac
tories and will go into 'campaign early in
July.
Irrigation In > obraikn.
"Irrigation In Nebraska , " says the Irriga
tion Ago , "covers a period of hisiory of only
a little ever throu years , yet great improve
ments have boon made In that time. Tbo
records In tbo ofllco of the secretary of slate
show lhat rtfty-slx Irrigation and canal com
panies have boon organized. The capital
stock of those companies aggregate $10,000-
000. Some of tboso companies have for their
object thci Irrigation of the soil , whllo others
propose to furnish wutor power for manufac
turing ontorprisos. Some will combine iho
two objects. It will be impossible to estimate
Iho immense and almost incalculable bonolils
lo arise from Iho operation of these com
panies. Manufacturing enterprise will bo
stimulated , und agricultural methods in
more than ore-half of the state will bo revo
lutionized. Sections of the state now in
capable ot supporting but n small population
will furnish homos for ton time * that num
ber. Irrigation on the magnificent scale con
templated by the companies already organ
ized , and Ihoso doubtless lo bo organized in
Iho fuluro , will make Nebraska Iho quoou of
the agricultural stales of Iho union. "

THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT.
1'oiirth In HID S < > I-LM of lliislnc.ii Sermon *
by ISi'V. Prank \V. I'ostor.
Text Mutt , xxv. , 31 : "Oa-,1 the unprofitable
soi vutit Into outer darkness. "
This sermon might , have hud for the text
Iho sixth petition in Iho Lord's prayer :
"Lead us not Into tomptallon. "
Much nf Iho unprofitableness in this life , if
nol nil of it , is bccnuso wo yield lo lomptn-
tions. A great many pcoolo scorn to think It
is a grout calamity lo bo tempted. They
wish they could live free from the tempta
tions of this life. For myself , 1 want to go
on record today us thanKlng my God , most
heartily , for every temptation that has ever
besel me , for every dart the devil has over
hurled against my soul. Not tha' , 1 have
not too often boon overcome by Ihom , for I
have , nnd with shame I confess lhat I have
not always been watchful enough to bo prepared -
pared for them , or dependent enough upon
God. In resist Ihom all ; but I have been nolo ,
by divine help , to resist some gront tcmpla-
lions , und I can shout hallelujah today , as I
rptnombor the victories I have cnlticd over
the flesh , and the world , and the dovil.
Is it not tlmo that wo did away with Ibat
sort of sickly sentimentality In which wo
sort of condole with those who are tempted
and are all ibo lima yielding lo temptations
nnd expecting that wo will pily ihemi I am
sure wo would see a good many slrongor and
grander Christian characters if wo would
understand nnd teach Ihoso lhat como Into
the church thai here Is lo bo no safe sheller
against temptations.
There is a bitter curse pronounced ngnlnst
that man who places the wine cup to his
nolirhbor's lips nnd mukolh him drnnl ; ; but
what a terrible curse nlso awaits these per
sons who teach their employes and clerks nil
sorts of dishonesty , leaching them to Ho and
cheat and oven lo ste.il. Many of thesoyoung
men and women have quickly become such"
apt scholars tint in n few monlhs Ihoy have
exceeded Iho oxpeclations of their employers
und have so successfully practiced tna dls-
honcsly taught tnom lhat they uro landed in
Jail.I .
I could give many illustrations of the fact
which I have just stated. Wo had one of the
ladies of Ibis church who obtained n situa
tion in ono of the stores down town , and she
was instrucled as lo how she must represent
goods ; bho objcciod , but was lold that it was
not a mailer of hers , lhat she was expected
lo do as she was lold. She said she would
not Ho for Ihom about the cost of goods , and
so she gave up nor situation , though she
uoedod it very much.
Such firms as I have mentioned , with the
aid of our patronage , are making Ihioves of
many of our boys and girls : they are making
dishonesty wear the garb of respectability.
I do not believe that dishonest gain is ever
profitable , oven for this present llfo. It Is
seldom of lasting value to the person who
has gained it , and it Is still moro often the
very worst thing that could happen to his
child ran and hlr , family.
Tuore is no profit In ill gotten gain , no
lasting profit , oven for this lifo ; and the
yielding to a spirit of covetousness has cosl
many and many a soul their hope of
heaven.
The rewards of dishonesty nro always the
'
same , always the same bore on Ibo oart'h.
The lessons lo bo learned from Ibis morn
ing uro that wo must resist temptation * , and
that wo must live lives of integrity and hon
esty in every respect if wo would not bo
counted unprofitable sorvnuls and bo "Cast
out. "
Character is what God is interested in , In
us. How Ho tesled Abraham , to bring out ,
and exhibit the strength of his character.
How Ho allowed Daniel nnd Joseph and oven
His own Son to bo tempted , to exhibit their
character. It is character , honorahlo character -
actor , integrity of character ; character
which shall rlso subllmo as Mt , Blancrln the
Alps , which will inspire the onvv , but resist
the machinations of the devil ; character
which will bo the wondering dollght of
angels nnd the inspiration of saints on earth ,
God wants lo develop In us such a charnclor ,
that will modi a crown from ins hand when
wo cot through with this Hie and enter upon
ibo llfo abovo. God , our Father , wo pray
Thea lo help us. May wo not bo olthor dis
honest nor unprofitable servants of Thine. "
Not So Hud Aftur At' .
E. V. Wood of MoKoo's Ilocks , Allegheny
county , Pa. , In speaking to a traveling man
of Chamberlain's modlclnns said : "I recom
mend them nbovo nil others. I hnvn used
Ihom myself and know thorn to bo reliable.
