One year, 1-25 Six months, -"5 Three months. - .40 Wonder whether Bryan would like hard times to come along and hit the Commoner's subscription sub-scription list? If there i9 nothing in a name, its queer what becomes of the things a man sometimes puts in his wife's name. Will someone tell us, not necessarily nec-essarily for publication, but merely for information, what the laws of Kansas do prohibit, anyway? A contemporary says that "no gentleman will swear before a lady." The safest course undoubtedly un-doubtedly is to give the lady the first chance. Boston's harbor gets a million dollars less . than it wanted. Congress evidently thinks that Boston harbor is shown by history his-tory to be merely u tea pot of a place. It is said that Councilman B. T. Blanchard will endeavor to have an ordinance passed forbidding roosters to crow, on the ground of their using fowl language. South Carolina needn't have 1 been afraid that Congress would refuse to appropriate for her Exposition. Congress couldn't resist spending money whenever ' it had tbe chance. The editor of a near-by newspaper news-paper exclaims in a burst of confidence, "We are a very wicked Jot," but fails to gratify public curiosity by relating just what he hits been up to. Isn't it about time that this country was taking some serious step to stop the lynching evil? If this thing continues to spread as it has in the last year or two, no state will be free from its disgrace. 'What, can be more ridiculous," ridicu-lous," asks the Denver Post, "than a pairof checked bloomers on a pair of bean-pole legs?" Give it up Denver seems to have certain sources of humor which this town does not. A Springville lady sews from 5 a.m. until after 9 at night trying try-ing to support her family, and yet the w.omen who patronize her roar if she charges them 5 cents too much. They would weep over her case if they ran across it in a story book. The people who compose the get-rich-quick fraternity appear to be having trouble at various places throughout the country. This is an inevitable result of this sort of financiering. There has never yet been an operation of the kind that did not result in a --smash-up and hurried flight. The man who thinks a newspaper news-paper should regulato the individual indi-vidual conduct of everybody in the community is a pumpkin head whose, brain would not keep twenty-four hours in a warm climate. And the fellows who are always finding fuult with the - newspapers for doing this or that are 11101881 people on earth to defend a newspaper .when it does do the right thing. TJie Evans Law. - " WVfear very much that the passage of the, Evans adultery bill will be proven to have been very unwise. Utah and the Mormons are still viewed with suspicion by the outside world, and for that reason any action tending to create discord should be avoided. The B. II. Roberts business is still fresh in men's memories, and they are waiting to see what Utah people will do next. The "next" is now up to them. The law is a bad one, aside from the fact that it will bring a howl down about people's ears and undoubtedly lead to the threatened constitutional amendment amend-ment and trouble for lots of good people. This law makes it impossible to convict a libertine, liber-tine, a seducer, an adulterer, if he can keep his victims silent, no matter how cognizant the officers of the law might be of the facts. It is generally understood, of course, that the law was intended intend-ed to give peace to certain people peo-ple and to head off diaries Mostwyn Owen and others who might desire to prosecute the old-timers. . Utah people who understand the circumstances as a rule do not care to see the old fellows kept jumping sideways, side-ways, and are perfectly willing they should live their live9 out in peace. What we do object to, is that in the effort to protect pro-tect these people Abel John and the Legislature have gone too far and let down the bars for all hands. The law will be used to protect that class of libertines and seducers who have ruined so many girls in these Utah towns, and for whom there has been no adequate punishment in the past, as many a Mormon and Gentile father knows -to his sorrow. It may be that Governor Wells will veto the bill. Let us hope so, at any rate. Otherwise the Utah father of a family of girls will do well, to recollect that eternal vigilance and a ready shotgun will be all that will stand between his family and dishonor. A Dearth of Mechanics. It seems, if the rising generation gener-ation had its way, about all the boys would be lawyers, doctors, dentists and clerks, and all the girls teachers, stenographers and typewriters. It is really refreshing refresh-ing to run across a boy who is willing to, tackle a mechanical trade or some useful employment employ-ment requiring manual labor, and it is certainly pleasing to meet a girl who is willingand hopes to be such a man's wife. That iabout the way a levelheaded level-headed gentleman of the "old school" expressed himself in our presence a few days ago, to all of which we gave a hearty amen. He further said, it really seemed to him that if these things progressed in the direction direc-tion they are now taking for a fow years longer, we would have to import our mechanics from abroad. It is certainly not pleasant to have to contemplate such a result. City vs. Country. We were amused at reading a paragraph recently in one of the metropolitan dailies to the effect thut it is the duty of a newspaper, news-paper, as well as to its interest, to publish all the news without regard to what the editor or publisher might fancy to be its probable effect. In other words, he has nothing to do with the consequences. . This is a most excellent theory for the editor of a city daily who sits perched up in a little room thirteen stories.' above the busy It's a Short Road from a cough to consumption. Don't neglect a cough take Shiloh's Consumption Cure when your cold appears. The "ounce of prevention" is better than years of illness. 'I suffered (or ytut trm a coogh, bronchia.' sod lung trouble.

Th. Peterson's Views. In an interview the other day, Mr. Th. Peterson expressed himself him-self in favor of having electric lights, but was opposed to bond- ing the city for them. Instead.). . , - i .1 i , , Kwelcomed by the Cubans. How he favored the levying of a auSf. . , J levying rect tax sufficient to pay "for them in two or thiee years, and borrowing the money to build at once. At the end of that tune he said, the works would be paid for and would be yielding yield-ing a revenue which would-go far toward doing away with all city taxes. In support of his proposition, Mr. Peterson mentioned the case of Spanish Fork, where they had easily paid for a $9,000 school house in two years. The gentleman's pronositrd.o 'n Nyy worthy of consideration. A Valueless Franchise. Springville people who do not wish to bond the town for ele -trie lights, and still desire to retain re-tain the franchise, should recollect recol-lect that thut water power will not be held forever.- Without water power, a municipal franchise fran-chise is of no more value than a politician's promise. Remember Remem-ber that, citizen's, and don't commit com-mit yourselves to a dog-in the-manger the-manger policy. In other words, if you amputate your noses, let it be for some other reason than to simply make your faces look bad. The people should .attend the mass meeting tonight prepared to act. Recently one of the best lions in the London Zoological Gardens Gar-dens began eating her tail, then followed her fore paws, and afterward she devoured her hind paws. Her voracity could not otherwise be appeased, and she died at the end of the third day. The doctors seem to be in doubt regarding her disease; but, although al-though we have had little experience exper-ience in lions, we should have no hesitancy in pronouncing it a case of consumption. If you feel like cussing the paper and editor, remember that he can't run it and make it better without financial support, and that he will appreciate it more, and it will do you as little harm -if you go over and pay up your subscription if you ar a delinquent subscriber; or, if not, pay a subscription for your friend who is awuy from home and ought to have the news. nubm MHtUl Ml Hr lilLS.

M aK33 y When we first came to Spring- ville, a struggling young editor with , hardly one cent to rub against another, we stamped our initials and the date on a copper cent and put it in circulation. Yesterday we received some pennies in change at the post-office, post-office, and on looking over them we found the coin we had stamped was not among them. The newspaperman, or some unknown writer connected with the press, frequently writes the speech, frames the argument or composes the able article that makes or keeps the politician or reputed statesman famous, and establishes a reputation for wisdom wis-dom often strangely at variance with his public acts or daily conversation. When you hear a' man lay stress on the fact that there are quite as good fish in the sea as ever were caught, it i3 an even bet that he isn't getting a bite. Fev$ politicians are a'fraid of men who make incendiary speeches in their districts. The only men they fear are those who have money to burn. Uncle Sam's proposition to be a step-mother to Cuba does not seem to be very warmly ungrateful people are Just think what Cervera might have done to our fleet if he had known how weak its crews were in the matter of social standing!

Oa That Wava laaarlbad oa a Graph. ba la tka Maker' Owa One of the wealthiest land proprietors proprie-tors Bear Smolensk!, in Russia, died a few months ago, and after the funeral his heirs and attorneys began to look for his will. They fancied that this task would be merely perfunctory and that the document would be found among the other family papers, but, much to their surprise, they were unable un-able to find the slightest trace of it. Every room and article of furniture in the house was then carefully searched, but the result was the same, and the only conclusion at which the heirs could arrive was either that no will had ever been made or that if one had been made it was destroyed before their kinsman's death, says a London exchange.- The i isslng document, however, wai found .a few days ago and in the strangest stran-gest place Imaginable. A young man was rambling through the house, and, happening to see a graphophone on a table in the library, he examined it to see if it was in working order, and finding find-ing that it was he put a record in it, which he supposed was that of some popular Russian song. What was his amazement, however, when instead of a song he heard the dead man's voice slowly recite the words of the missing will! . The heirs were promptly notified of this discovery and they lost no time in carefully examining the record containing con-taining the will. It was found to be flawless, and the question then arose whether such a will would be deemed valid by the courts or not. This question ques-tion is now being discussed in the supreme su-preme court at St. Petersburg and the case is interesting all lawyers who have heard of it. Many ftiink that the will will be pronounced entirely valid, and if so it may become a common practice for persons to use graphophones for the purpose of making their wills.
