Mr. Payne, in the capacity of member of the Republican national committee had participated in six presidential campaigns, and during the last four of them was a member of the executive committee of the national committee. He was the acting chairman of the national committee during the Interim between the death of Senator Hanna and the election of Secretary Cortelyou s Its head, and the trying duties that then devolved upon him, supplementing as they did the strain of the postal Investigation, sapped bis vitality and ld to bis final breakdown.

Various reasons are advanced by tbe critics as having possibly actuated Kuropatkin; first, that Japanese Inactivity led him to suppose that he was stronger numerically; second, that Intrigues connected with the appointment of a new commander-in-chte- f may have determined Kuropatkin to precipitate matters, and, third, and according to the English critics, by far the most acceptable explanation, that be again has been overruled from- St Petersburg and is acting on imperial orders.

Lieutenant's Fortunate Find-Leto His Death. Senator Vest used to tell a story of good luck and hard luck without a counterpart. He says: One day while I was a member of the Confederate Congress I lost a months pay somewhere on the streets of Richmond. Just as tbe soman in Scripture who lost a piece of silver called together ber friends and neighbors and sought diligently until she found it, I called my friends and went with them on what seemed a hopeless search through the snow covered, dimly lighted streets of Richmond. The chances were a thousand to one against success. We hadnt been out fifteen minutes when a young lieutenant in our party stooped down and picked up my lost roll. I was in high glee and wanted to treat. We were piloted to a cafe which, pending some repairs, had a ladder of about a dozen rungs Instead of stairs. We all climbed up, considering it a great lark, all the while talking about what a lucky fellow the young lieutenant was and predicting great things for him. As we climbed down again the young lieutenant fell from the ladder and broke his neck. Saturday Evening Post. . Cure to Stay Cured. 10 (Special) Wapello, Iowa, Oc-One of the most remarkable cures ever recorded in Louisa County is that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs. Hart was In bed for eight months and when she was able to sit up she was all drawn up on one side and could not walk across the room. Dodds Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her cure Mrs. Hart says: Yes, Dodds Kidney Pills cured me after 1 was In bed for eight months and I know the cure was complete for that was three years ago and I have not been down since. In four weeks from tbe time I started taking them I was able to make my garden. Nobody can know bow thankful I am to be cured or how much I feel I owe to Dodds Kidney Pills." This case again points out boar much the general health depends on the Kidneys. Cure tbe Kidneys with s Dodds Kidney Pills and of the suffering the human family is heir to, will disappear.

ONLY SEEMING sessions of the general conference at the tabernacle, but in the morning an importruc meeting of the priesthood was held in Assembly hall. The distinguishing features of the Sunday session of the confernce were the refutation of a statement made by a woman at a meeting held in Denver recently that young men and young women, when away from Utah, were ashamed that they lived in the state, the appearance of Apostle Reed Smoot in the conference and his advocacy of the reopening of the wooden mills that have been closed for years, and the sustaining of all the principal officers of the church by a unanimous vote. President Joseph F. Smith said the presidents of missions were under strict instruction to guard carefully the health of missionaries, and to send them home when ill. They were to be the judges of what was best to be done in their respective fields. The body of the church should cheerfully Indorse their action in the cases of missionaries and refrain from criticism of those sent home. Elder A. H.
