He married a Methodist woman, now dead, and bis church called upon him to repent for marrying outside the faith. Angered at this rebuke, he excommunicated himself by exclaiming: "If you mean that I am to get up in meeting and say that I am sorry I married Mary, I wont do It. I'm damned if I'm sorry, and I'm damned if I'll say I am. Today when asked to what denomination he belongs, he retorts that he of the Methodist is a brother-in-lachurch. In his soul is a love for the beautiful. only equal to his sympathy for his fellowman. "I wouldn't give three whoops In Hades," said be once to a woman, "for any man whose heart would not beat faster, who would not breathe deeper, whose eyes would not take fire, whose spirit would not swell as If to strangle him, who would not be moved even to the shedding of tears- - and that without any shame by the voices of birds and children, by a mother's smile, by a song that is sung from the heart, by noble oratory or tbe noble action of actors- on the atage; by any human art through which the spirit of beauty in one speaks to the spirit of beauty in another." With the homeliness of Lincoln, he has none of the melancholy of that other famous son of Illinois. With the power of Csar" Reed, he has been as approachable and as human aa the corner grocery keeper. Although he is the personification of the strictly party Idea, Cannon's unquestioned honesty, his genial manners, his language and hla absolute fairness within the limitations f tbe rules pf tbe House have made him the most beloved speaket that ever occupied the chair, not only among his own colleagues, but also among the minority. He has no better friend in Congress today than John Sharp Williams, the x Democratic floor leader. w - rag-carp- et G. A. R.

This will be done wherever the mains parallel each other. This consolidation will obviate the necessity of the two companies tearing up the city streets at different times for. the purpose of making main extensions. The plant of the Utah Gas A Coke company is modern In every respect, and the company asserts that its present schedule of rates will apply to the consumers who have been taking gas from the old company. The company has been furnishing gas in Balt Lake for a little less than a year, the product having been first turned on August 1, 1907. Since that time it has stretched out .to every section of the city, and the consolidation was inevitable, as the old company desired to get out of the business and devote itself entirely to producing electric energy and operating its electric lighting, power and streets railway business. i A . i Rouod trip rates from Ogdon, as follows! w To Kansas City, Omaha, Etc. . . $40.00 To SL Louis . . 49.00 To SL Paul and Minneapolis 5100 . . 5500 To Chicago Tickets tn aala Juna 1st, Sthth, 12th, 13th. and 15th.
