Show HE TALKS SALT LAKE. Jam- fi. M Ilonetil of this City Attend! a Convention at Nt. Louie, James (i. McDonald of Salt Lako City is attending the eighth annual convention of the National Confectioners' Confection-ers' association at St. Louis. He is, says the (Hobo Democrat, the youngest delegate to the convention. He is 2(1, and nn out-and-out Mormon, having, been born and raised in Utah aud thoroughly instructed in the creed of Joseph Smith and lirigham Young. His lather was one of the pioneers in the Salt Lake valley, but never entered polygamy, though be had a family of eleven children. Neither is young M r. McDonald a polygamist. Ho says the plural wife business is played out in Utah, and every Sunday l'.'.OOO people hear polygamy denounced in the big tabernacle. Notwithstanding tho falling fall-ing off in marriage Mr. McDonald says the candy business is nourishing all around Salt Lake. He cun t cet us good prices for his product pro-duct as i lie Denver manufacturers get, they recoiling l()o per pound, where the best he can do is Tjc a--pound; but business is prosperous, and ne feels just as happy as if Bishop Clawson or l'res-iilcnl l'res-iilcnl Woodruff were to drop into his shop every day and order a wngon full of "broken mixed'' sent home to their forty-nine children. Mr. Clawson is a smooth-faced, good lookingyoung man, and in his light suit and gorgoous necktie neck-tie presents an aspect, that the Mowers of spring might envy. There is nothing mormonesque about him, but he slicks up manfully for the Church of Latter-day Saints, and says there must be something in a religion for which 173,(100 people are willing to give up everything and for which many wealthy men have spent months in a miserable jail. Ho says also that the polygamists of tho church have put away their wives aud are now living apart even from tin; first wife, whom the law recognizes as the lawful one. Mr. McDonald talks more enthusiastically enthusias-tically about the hill of Cumorah and the golden plates than be does about the. candy business Four hundred times a day he responds with a polite but emphatic negative to the question; "From Salt Lako, oh? Are you a pol-lywogamist?" pol-lywogamist?" -m- 'NJ! fORBiSN OOODS CVZK j i "PIN K8slRirM)MIN'l AT WA LI.ACE I A Company's nw tallorimt estatilishmeut, F.veryone is d,-li ;hted witu our KI-KUANT STOCK OF UPKl.NO SI'ITINti.S Tin- fit ami fln sh of our g:irn;ent3 is far alii.;d of all compet.tor.
