Just us the sun reached tae zeuith on the 6th 1nst. the capstone of tho groat Mormon temple in Salt Lake City was put in place by President Woodruff in tho presence of 50,000 ehcering people. The laying of this cap ptone was the greatest oveat in the history of Mormonism. ‘The Mormons say it was tho grandest day ever seon in Isracl. No sooner was the ceremony performed than the sun, which had been obscured by a cloud, broke through its misty veil. It was hailed &s a propitious omen. It was intended that Prosident Woodruff should lay the stone with his own hands, and that the grand chorus of 500 should stand on platforms built on the scaffolding at the extreme height fof the towers, but feariug an accident, this Adoa was abandoned and the stono was laid from tho ground by electric! Tho Templo block was the first piece of round laid out by Brigham Youngin the ottlement of tho city, in July, 1547. It was thon aud there decided that the building of Zion should begin at that place. The Templo block was to contain forty acres, and tho city blocks surrounding, ‘ten ncres each, exclusive of the streets, which were to bo eight rods wide, intersecting at right angies, with sidewalks twenty feot in width on either side. Four city vlocks were reserved for public squares, On the evening of July 28, tho pioneer settlers assembled at the tomple grounds and unanimously ratified the action of the president and aposties. The size of tho Temple block was after- wards reduced from forty to ten acres, and ms the city extended toward the mountain foothills the formation of blocks of five, fustead of ten acres, was recommended. But generally the original plan remmned unchaoged aud characterizes the city today. Lhirty-nine years ago work was began, but it hus not beon continuous. liven In its in- completed state the temple has been the ceu- tral magnet for thousands of tourists, not only for the magnitude of the undertaking, but also as representing tho patience and tenncity of purposo ot the Mormon pioncers and their successors, The designer of the temple was Brigham oung himself, although a draugntsman named Angell drew the plans and superin- tended the woris up to about four years ago. The old drawings show the six towers somewnat lower 1 height than they stand today. The east and west central towers are surmounted by spires. Excopt for raising the towers several courses of stone and lacing tho large bronze figurs of Gabriol on ho ceatral oastern tower, the outside design of tho building is very little changod from the original. Following are some of tho principal dimensions : To end of To tov of rockwork. Foet. olght of central east tower... 210 1olkht of centrul wost tower.. 204 Height of side east towers. ... 183 eight of side west towers. ... 182 Height of walls....... ... .0 167% hickuess of walis at bottom . o Chickness of walls at top 0 Whickness of buttresses.... ... 7 A total of 156 courses of rock are in the uilding, every stono numbered. Thero 1s be an aonex in the north of the temple 100x60 feet for a reception place connected with the main building by an underground passago 100 feot long leading to tho base- meat of the temple. The present idea is to have electric wires running up the spires of all tne towers, and to have a 100-candle light xed to the crown of the angel, so that if here should ever be oceasion for an illumina- tion a spectacle of great maguificence could be seen. For years tho gray granite of which the structure 18 built was hauled by ox teams from Littie Cottonwood Canyon, and it fro- ?uouu_\' took four days to bring a single stone rom tho quarry. ‘I'he discovery of a de fective stouo block near the foundation made ary for the entire wall to bo taken d reset, the architecture requiring porfect exactitule of dimension, Tho figare for the central eastern tower— the Angel Gabriel—stands on a granite ball surmonnting the east central tower, It is of hammered copper, measures thirteen feet in height and weighs about a ton, The record of Mormonism since this huge teligious edifice was begun by Brigham Young a generation ago is of great interest. In the erection of the temple $2,500,000 has been spent and $500,000 more will be re- quired to finish it. Viewed solely as a re- liglous sect the Latter Day Sajiuts have had ® tenacity of purpose and virility in action that bave produced marvelous rosults, ‘\pm from their peculiar rites, their bolief n polygamy and their frequent contlicts with United States laws, their pioneer labors o the development of Utah are rewarkablo ashievements, Cattlemen's € A convention of western stoc open In Ogden April 2t questions are to be considered, such as trans- portation, brauds, fenciug, water rights, Tange privileges, stock yurds, breeds and breeding of cattle and quarantine. The gen- eral desire is to improve the condition of the cattle business, and it is thought that no better merns of accomplishing this end can bo devised than to get the men who are di- rectly iuterested in the business together 1n & grand congross and let them discuss the situation and devise ways and means of act- fugusa unit, and as there is strength in unios, when the cattle iuterest is ouce united something will have to move. The states and territories embraced within this call are: Utah, Navada, Idaho, Wyom- 1ug, California, Orégon, Montans, Washing- ton, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, North Dakota, South Duakots, Nebraska, New Mexico, In- dian Territory, Oklahoma and Arizon The kuterest taken in this congress is really surprisivg Lo the geutlemen who first sug- gested the idea of holdiug a congress.

When the mines shut down last December it was given out by the Mine Owners association that the sole reason was the extremely bigh ana uureas- onable freight rates charged for carrylng Ahoir ores to the different smelting poiuts ver the llues of the Northern and Union cific raiiroa This statement seerned Feasonsblo 1o the wen, for the railrosds had recently advanced their ore rate §2 per ton, d that in the face of the fact ihat silver and lead were on the decline. All the miners employed wers given to understand, and at some minee notices were posted up. that when the mines opened up all old hands would be givon the preference over any newcomers applying for work. On the strength of that promisn large numbers of miuers remained in the Caeur d’Alenes, some renting houses and mossing togother, “'batched”’ during the winter, running ac courits with the merchants and storekeepers, while others stopped at hotels and restau rants, most of them owing for their living, eagerly waiting and hoping for the mines to onen up, giving them a chance to placo themselves again on a sound footing. The mine combine, taking advantage of the condition of the workmen aud the clamor for work, announoced some weeks ngo that work would bo resumed April 4, but that Wuges would be reduced from &3.50 to &3 per day. The miners resisted and trouble be- gan. Mino owners aro now endeavoring to import men from other camps, The pros pect of success is remote. The miners’ union is the nost formidable labor organiza tion In the country, composed of men prompt to resent injustice with both monoy and guns, A rful Sight, The site recommendod by the commission for the new postoffice at San Francisco proves to be woefully and wonderfuily made. ‘'be noted Colonel Irish, formerly of lowa, & democratic orator with a wild fantastic jaw, was a member of the comumission to select the site, and the output of the exploration into the bowels of the selected ground proves the colonel's knowledgo of real estate te be on a par withs his political judgment. The recommendation of the commission arousod such a furoro locally that the con- summation of the deal has been delayed for months. It was charged that the locality, Seventh and Mission stroets, was not only too far distant from the business district, but Also that the price was exorbitant, and that the ground was originally & swamp. The last chargo stuck. Old maps of San Fran- c1sco were hunted up, showing tho ground to have been filled. Au examination was or- derod. The test well now being sunk has reached a depth of 109 feet, cutting through mud, sand and blue clay. At this pointa bed of quicksand was discovered, which promptly ’n\vnlluwcd the drill and aslice of the ocas- ng. The prospeot of striking a foundation grows beautifully less. A touching foature of the work 1s the presence of Colonol Irish wrapped in intense melancholy, while the owuers of the ground sit around, generating heart-shatlering sobs as the prospect of a sale gradually disappears. A New Wyoming Camp, Villette is the name of a now mineral district situated on the road between Sara- toga and Gold Hill. It is 3,000 feet lower than Gold Hill. Here some Omaha men have stuck their stukes, expecting to rake in a fortune. The leading man of the camp is George F. Canis, formerly a member of Tur Ber staff, and present publisher of the Saratoga Sun. Mr. Cams has waintained from the first that Gold Hitl would prove to be a silver camp, and it is a_ significant fact toat he is largoly interested in the new finds at Villetto, The formation underlying the Villette dis- trict is reached easily by drifts and tunnels and work can_bo catried on throughout the entire year. Two rich finds have been made on ahiil nalf amile from Villette, one of rich freo gold ore and the other a threo foot vein of high grade silver ore. Tunnels fifty feet in leugth will tap each vein at a depth of 500 feet. Within a foew days an Ingersoll L m drill wiil be set to work on one of theso tunnels, and the work pushed as rapidly s men and means can do 1t for a distance of at least 100 fect. Behind this work is capital suficient to not only open these mines, but to put ia machinery to work them on a largo scale. A Big Beet Field. Richard Gird, the owner of Chino ranch, California, hasa contract with the Chino Valley Beet Sugar company to supply them with *all their beets for five years. Last year he planted 5,000 acres; this year he will plant 5,000 acres, aud for the next threo yoars will plant 7,000 acres eachb year. He has already somo 400 Mexicans thinning out tho beets and expects to delivor beets to the factory ata costot $1.50 per tou ns against tho cost of §2 per Lon last year, These beets will brirg from 1 to 7 per ton at the fac- tory according to their richness in sac- charine matter. It is found that the more perfectly the ground is prepared and the longer it has been under cultivation the larger is the ton- nage, and the richer insugar 1s tho beet. Indicatious point to 30 per cent larger ton- uage this year than was produced on the same ground last year. For miles around the factory itis one continuous oeet field, some of the rows being over iwo aud a balf milos long. The Chino plant belongs to the company that owns the Norfolk and Grand Island fac- ll]urllns and will goto ‘campaign early in uly. Irrigation in Nebraska, “Irrigation in Nebraska,” says the Irriga- tion Age, ‘‘covers a period of history of only alittio over thros years, yet great improve. ments have been made in that time. Tho records in the office of the secretary of state show that fifty-six irrigation and canal com- panies have been organized. The capital stock of these companies aggregate $10,000, 000, Some of these companies have for their object the irrigation of the soil, while others propose to furnish water power for manufac- turing enterprises, Somoe will combine the two objects, It will be 1mpossible to estimate the immense and almost incalculable benefits to arise from the operation of these com- panies. Manufacturing enterprise will be stimuiated, and agricultural methods 1n more than ove-half of the state will be revo- lutionized, Sections of the state now in- capablo of supportiog but a small population will furnish homes for ten times that num- ber. Irrigation on the magoificent scale con- womplated by the companies already organ- ized, and those doubtless to be organized in the future, will make Nebraska the queen of the agricultural states of the union.” ‘The silver mines of Colorado, Nevada and Montana are seriously affected by the great fall in the price of silver. Goneral con- sternation is now provalent in the silver pro- ducing sections of these states. The big Lamarine mine, in the Iaano Springs dis- trict of Colorado, has given the men fts ultimatum, to cither accept & reduction of 50 ceunts per day orclose down, Similar notices have beon posted in the miucs adjacent to Aspen. In Butte, a fow of the smaller companies have reduced the output. How long the depression will continuo is problematical. Its present offect is the abandonment of work on low grade ores, " Nohraski, The Seward county all Seward April 16, Sarpy county’s fair will be held at Papil- lion September 13 to 16, Douglas Hewitt has sold the i*ierco Countv Leader to W, E.

If you want to know how a full blooded eyclone looks, just read this descripuve pieco of work by the editor of the Nelson (yazette, who knows what ho is talking about: *“Those who saw theé storm approaching described it as forming about six or eight miles south west of town, and saw the black clouds re “Circle volve, rush togethsr, drop to carth like huge | bluck aemons, swing from sido to side and dart_in zigzag motions, throw out armlike projections like tongues of fiame, only being black, and was such that the inexperienced with cyclones looked on as if intransed, seemingiy charmed with the dreaded sight, until the awlul demon approaching, and it made known its mission, the charm gave way to fear and utter prostration in miming to find shelter, while some stood dazed until the storm struck them and they realized their condition.” Neva Heno is shipbing goav's bair to New York The miners’ unfon in Storey and Lyon counties contains 2,500 members.

Frank W. Toxt—Matt. xxv., 4): “Cast the unprofitable wnt into outer aarkness.” This scrmon mignt have had for tho text the sixth petition in the Lord's prayer: *‘Lead us not into temptation.” Much of the unprofitableness in this life, if uot all of it, is because we yield to tempta- tions, A great many peovle seem to think it is & graat calamity to be tempted. They wish they conld live free from the tempta- tlons of this life. For myself, 1 nt to go on record today as thanking my God, most heartily, for évery temptation that bas over beset me, for every dart the devil has ever huvied against m) Not that I have not too often been overcome by them, for I have, and with shame I coufess that | have not always been watchful enough to bo pro- paved for them, or dependsnt enough upon Goa. to resist them all; but I have been able, by divine help, to resist some great tempta- tions, and I can shout hallelujah today, as I remember the victories I have zained over the flesh, and the world, and the devil. Is it not time that we did away with that sort of sickly sentimentality in which weo sort of condole with those who are tempted and are all the time yielding to temptations and expecting that we will pity them? I am sure we would see a good many strouger and grander Christian characters 1if we would understand and teach those that come into the church that here is to be no safe shelter against temptations, "There is u bitter curse pronouaced against that man who places the wine cup to his nelgbor's lips and maketh bim drunk; but what a terrible curse also awaits those per- s0ns who teach tueir employes and clerks all sorts of dishonesty, teaching them to lis and cheat and even 10 steal. Many of theso young, men and women have quickly become such apt scholars that in a few months they have exceeded the expectations of their employers and have so successfully practiced the dis- hu_;u:sty taught them that they ave landed in jail, 1 could give ma: pster. s y illustrations of the fact which I havo just stated. We hadone of the ladies of this church who obtained a situa- tion in one of the stores down town, and she wus instructed as 10 how she must represent goods; she objected, but wvas told that it was oot a matter of hers, that she was expected to do as she was told. She said she would not lie for them about the cost of goods, and s0she gave up nor situatiou, though she ueeded 1t very much. Such firms as I have mentioned, with the aid of our patronage, are making thioves of many of our boys and girls: they are making dishonesty wear the garb of respectability. 1 do not believe that dishonest gain is ever profitable, even for this present life. It is seldom of lasting value tothe person who bas gained 1t, and it is still more often the very worst thing that could happen to his children and his family. Tuere 1s no profit in ill gotten gain, no lasting protit, oven for this life; and the yielding to a spirit of covetousnoss has cost many aud many a soul their hopo of heaven. The rewards of dishonesty are always the same, always the same nere on the earth, The lessons to be learned from this morn- ing ure tbat we must resist temptations, and that we must live lives of integrity and hon- esty in every rospect if we would not be counted unprofitable servants and be ‘'Cast out.” Character is what God is interested in, in us. How Ho tested Abrabam, to bring out, and exhibit the streagth of his character. How Ho allowod Daniel and Joseph ana even His own Son to bo tempted, to exhibit their charactor. It is character, honoravle char- acter, integrity of character: character which shall rise sublime as Mt. Blanc in the Alps, which will inspire the onvy, but resist the machinations of the devil; character which will be the wondering delight of angels and the inspiration of saints on earth, God wants to develop in us such a character, that will merit 8 crown from nis hand when we get through with this lite and enter upon the lifo above. God, our ather, wo pray ‘Thee to help us. May we not be either dis- honest nor unprofitable servants of Thine.” e Not So Bad After Al', 0.
