Never but once before since the white
man settled the country was the Missis
sippi frozen from shore to shore and an
ice gorge formed at Memphis. The suf
fering this winter in the smaller towns
along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers is
unprecedented. Many of them have no
railroad connections and are dependent
altogether on the river for supplies of
fuel, clothing and groceries. . The suffer
ing is something appalling, ajed the worst
of it has been that there was no way of
reaching the sufferers quickly and fir
ing them aid. The winter of 1893-3 will
be remembered for half a century on ac
count of its severity. Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Georgia and North Carolina are
accounted warm stat'j in the popular
judgment, yet for the first time in the
memory of many grown .persons they
have suffered in common wi;h the states
farther north from zero temperature and
ice gorges. 4
Not many men in the late war rose
from volunteer private to major general,
as Rutherford B. Hayes did. In politics,
in the early part of his career, be was
one of the most victorious of men. Three
times in the contest for governor of Ohio
he defeated the ablest Democrats in the
party first, Allen G. Thurman in IS67,
next George H. Pendleton is 1869 and
again William Allen in 1ST3. But he
was never the same man after his presi
dential term. The incessant and bitter
attacks on hict. which continued from
1873 till his death, made si painful an
impression on him that he retired from
politics absolutely at the close of his term
in 18SI and never afterward made a po
litical speech. 7.io death of his brilliant
and accomplished wife some yean ago
was another blow from which he never
recovered. Mrs. Hayes was his compan
ion much of the time during his army
campaigns. His death from neuralgia
cf the heart is such as might have come
to a man who had suffered much from
trouble of the mind.
Satolll. Apostolic Delegate.
The diplomatic corps at Washington
is inclined to welcome Mgr. Satolll as an
adorned brother, although be has no offi
cial relations with the United States gov
ernment. His appointment as permanent
apostolic delegate to the United States
is the most important event in the his
tory of the Roman Catholic church in
this country in years. Mgr. Satolli will
represent the pope in all matters of dis
cipline and ecclesiastical law in America,
In this Republican nation the American
born and bred priests frequently had
differences of opinion -with the bishops,
who were their superiors. These ques
tions had to be sent to Rome for final
adjustment by the pope.
There were so many that at length his
holiness resolved to establish an ecclesi
astical court of highest appeal here and
have all differences settled on the ground.
Being resident in the United States, the
apostolic delegate could catch the spirit
of American institutions and decide, as
it would otherwise be impossible to do,
what was the right thing. 80 that the
American Catholic church will no longer
be ruled from Rome. Mgr. Satolli will
probably establish his headquarters at
Washington.
It has been objected that he is a for
eigner, and therefore cannot fully un
derstand American questions. Bat he
has shown himself thus far to bo a man
of great tact, as well as of quick and
brilliant acumen. He is a man of great
learning and experience. What Mgr.
Satolli says goes, and will go.
' Is Mormon Polygamy Dead? '
It is hard to telL President Harrison's
amnesty proclamation, granting uncon-.
ditional pardon and freedom from fur
ther legal prosecution to all Mormons
who have lived monogamously since
Nov. 1, 1890, and will continue to do so,
implies that in the opinion of persons in
high government quarters the many
wived practice has been abandoned. In
October, 1800, the sixty-first semiannual
conference of the Latter Day Saints is
sued a manifesto to all Mormons pro
hibiting any member hereafter to enter
into the plural marriage relation. They
did this on the recommendation of Wil
fred Woodruff, president of the church.
In September of 1890 Woodruff declared
that Mormon preachers were no longer
teaching that disobedience to the mar
riage laws of the United States was
obedience . to God. Woodruff recom
mended the abandonment of polygamy
on the ground of its conflicting with the
laws of the United States, and not from
any change of heart. Leading Mormons
have saiu in the most sincere and sol
emn manner that polygamy has been
abandoned forever.
Nevertheless, if this be true, what
mean the swarms of foreign steerage
passenger women who still, up to the
time of the cholera quarantining, con
tinued to enter our ports from Europe,
always under the wing of cunning faced,
sharp eyed old Mormon elders, who
watched them like a hawk lest any of
that was detained so long at quarantine I Gv. tw0 OD,e Jed ?d one

to this the shrewd old Mormon rascal I
who had the party in tow mingled freely
with the steerage passengers in general
and tried to persuade other women to
join the Utah contingent and go. off
with them. Polygamy may be aban

saroo these little facts have a gneer topk.1
Public Executions.
If hangings must be, then the mob
should be shut out absolutely from see
ing them. Nothing more revolting or
demoralizing to humanity has been wit
nessed recently than the behavior of the
spectators at a late hanging. Men gath
ered in numbers the night before the
hanging as if to a country circus. Whis
ky was passed freely among them, and
they became drunk and made night hid
eous with their whooping and yelling.
They cut away fences and climbed trees
in order to get sight of the show in the
jaflyaxd. ,They even smuggled whialry
to the guard who formed the watch, and
some of them became dead drunk too.
When the morning came and the pris
oners-were led to execution the mob
jeeredvhnd howled like demons. Some
of thtfondemned suffered horribly be
fore life became extinct. The blood-!
thirsty mob laughed in fiendish glee and !
cursed and sang and danced like demons
from sheoL Nothing more disgraceful
was ever witnessed in America. The
men and boys who gazed on that scene
will go through life henceforth with less
regard for human life and with more
calloused feelings toward human suffer
ing in any shape. It was with difficulty
they were kept from anticipating the le-
,.v; k hi. !
their own hands. They will henceforth i
be inore dangerous members of the oonvitne Klamath rails Express
munity for being unchecked in their con
duct that night and for being allowed to
witness that hanging.
Abont Divorce Laws.
If you think you will ever want a di
vorce from any cause whatever, do not
go to, South Carolina to live. That ia
the one state of the Union in which there
is absolutely no divorce allowed. The
only way in which married people there :
can get apart is to run away from each
other and hide. In all the other states
divorce is allowed for Scriptural cause.
a nut mn n ft,! ivnfM law, Iwiwttia I
moreUberaL In forty-ono of the forty-
four states divorce ia permitted for ex-
treme cruelty, and in thirty-three states
for intemperance. In all but nine of the
states a term in the penitentiary will re
lease the prisoner's husband or wife from
the rnatrimooial chain, while in twenty
two states and, "territories gross neglect
will secure a divorce if it is proved on
the husband or wife. The term 'neg
lect, " too, is as elastic as people's con
science and can be stretched to cover
anything from abandonment outright to
a failure to take a wife to an evening
party.
Nebraska and the Dakotas are perhaps
more liberal in their divorce laws than
any other states in the time required for
residence before the suit is comment
,cedJlu"S
nths p On
A residence in Nebraska for six months
wOl entitle an applicant for divorce to
commence action, while in both the Da
kotas the applicant need only reside
within the state ninety days. For some
reason persons who wished to be untied
have gravitated to Sioux Falls, S. D., in
large numbers, forming what is called
the divorce colony, thereby scandalising
citizens of that promising young state
who do not believe in divorce.
In 1893 ninety divorces were granted
in Sioux Falls. The applicants were
mostly women. The churches and the
ladies of the W. C. T. U. in South Da
kota endeavored to have the divorce in
dustry stopped, at least to a great extent.
Powerful pressure was brought to bear
on the legislature to lengthen the term
of residence to at least a year.
The Sioux Falls lawyers, however, as
well as various other citizens, asked this
question, Why should the legislature, on
merely sentimental grounds, drive out
of South Dakota and into North Dakota
and Nebraska a business which brings'
to Sioux Falls over $100,000 a year? 80
the legislature defeated the bill to
lengthen the term of residence to a year.

The bill of Representative Browa,
allowing persons a rebate of road tax
who use certain wagons, hus the sem
blance of fairness and may help, if
adopted, to solve the troublesome road
Question. Although the bill has not
been given to the public, in full, the
Inference is that persous using wagons
with broad tires will be the oue favored
by the rebate. By using such wagons
they will help to level down and keep
the public highways smooth and are,
therefore, entitled to some remunera
tion for their services. There is no
reason why such a public service should
not be recognized as of money value as
well as any other kind of service hav

When Hayes Was Here,
Fran the Valley Kacord.
v The death of Ex-President Haves
V" close of his term he passed
Ifirough this section traveling from
iteouing to Koseburgra stage coach
es with his partv. . amonz whom
were -his wife and Gen. Wni.
Tecumseh Sherman. They were
given a grand ovation in Ashland
as well as at Yerka and other places,
being the first live president to ever "
come along this way while holding
office. They stopped at the U. S.
hotel at Jacksonville over night and
Madame Holt gave them rooms
that had just been completed. The
next morning she gave Hayes a
great talk about the rooms and ac
commodations which the affable
Hayes began praising to the skies
to please rnadame. The grandnesa
of the idea of entertaining such dis
tinguished guests inflated the thrift v
old lady's idea of finances, and
when she presented the president
with a bill for 1150 Rutherford
went outside to get a breath of fresh
air and hold an executive session
with himself. He detailed Gen.
Sherman to negotiate with, the
rnadame and Old Tecumseh with
made an ineffectual effort, explain
ing that he wanted to pay their bill
and go on not to pay for the hotel.
The old lady thought "dem military
fellers" were not as grand as they
have been cracked up to be.
How Xt Became Popular.
When people find an article much
superior to anything of the kind they
have ever before used, ther are almost
sura to tell their friends about it, and
especially if thev know of some friends
needing suohau article. Dealers also
soon learn the true value ot their goods,
and when they have an article of an
unusual merit they will almost invari
ably mention the fact to their custom
ers. This accounts in a great measure
for the large sale on . Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Her ia an instance:
W. L. Nertdham, a prominent citizen
aud business man of Orreburg, Mo.,
has been selling Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for several years and recom
mend it to his customers, because ia
his experience it has provea to be the
best for oolds, croup and whooping
cough. He says It Is the moat popular
medicine that he handles, and give
