atom wss born four weeks ago at the
Florence Crlttenton Refuge Home, three
months sooner than nature's allotted
time. Dr. Ttmms. who has the case in
charge, st first thought the little crea
ture had not even a fighting chance, so
frail seemed its hold on life. It is a
little girl, and weighed at birth scarcely
two and one-half pounds. The babe
breathed but feebly, could not open its
ryes, or make a sound scarcely louder
than a feeble moan. Dr. Ttmms decided

ai not daunted by the fact that there
was not one to be had in the town. She
ahmmoned a carpenter, and under her
eupervislon the Incubator was built, and
the baby snugly placed within it. The
box is about three feet In length and two
In height, with a false bottom that does
not reach the whole length of the box.
leaving about six inches of space at that
hd for the circulation of air. The space
underneath the false bottom is filled
mth Jars of hot water, which are put

and which' are replenished as the ther
mometer In the box denotes a fall In
temperature. A sliding glass door en
closes the Incubator on the top. At
first the nurse k,ept the temperature at
si degrees, gradually reauclng it, until
at present it is kept at 80 degrees.
The little creature is thriving snd
(rowing. It now weighs three and one
half pounds, receives its food regularly
very two hours, and has learned to
cry for it, too, though as yet it is but
a feeble wail. It is fed with modified
cows' mirk and It now able to take it
through a tiny rubber nipple, while at
first the nurse fed It with a medicine
dropper? The child looks perfectly nor
mal In every respect, and stretches In
regular baby fashion, denoting, so the
nurse says, that It Is growing and thriv

' "Is it not unusual that but two bids
for the entire Issues should be made for
the bonds by eastern Arms?" the mayor
was asked. . . ... . : ' '- .. . .'. .
"Well, yes; . bond ' buying firms, of
course, are up to all kinds of schemes,
and maybe they have agreed to pool
their interests, thinking . they . could
make a good Investment thereby." ;
What do you thlnH as to an immedi

made?" was asked. . '
I believe the firms will make us a
better offer,; but whether sufficiently bet
ter to cause its acceptance, Is, of course,
more than any one can tell.
"Such low bids are somewhat surpris

their figures by citing the disturbed con

"The bonds are absolutely first-class.
They are the very best bonds on the
market, for the interest rate $18,000 a
year is guaranteed right now by the'
streetcar companies. as the City & Su

the Portland Railways company about
$8,000 a year for the use of he bridges.
This guarantees the Interest, and the
validity of the issues la unquestioned."
sidering all the testimony, this Is one of
the worst cases ever coming before this
court, so far as my knowledge goes.
"It Is apparent that Miller has added
perjury to his other crime. 1 sincerely
regret that the laws are not flexible
enough to permit me to send him to the
penitentiary. Not only does he deserve
severe punishment, but the safety of,
other young women who are likely to be
deceived and 111 treated by the brute
makes It desirable that he be placed
where he cannot do further harm."
After testimony of shocking cruelty
had been offered against htm. Miller
took the stand in his own behalf. He
attacked his wife's character but was
sternly admonished by the court to
drop that line of defense. Miller says
he is a graduate of a university at

the number of poiygamlsts in the Mor
mon church, Smith said that by a care
ful census. In. 1890, there were 1,451
polygamous families in the states be
longing to the Mormon church, but in
October, 1899, the number was reduced
to 1,643 by deaths, 760 removals from
the republic, and 63 by divorce. In
May, 1902, the original number was
reduced 3 per cent, leaving only 897
still Hving, the great majority of whom
are advanced in age. Since then many
have died, and the indications are that
the number will soon be reduced to sero.
Senator Dubois took exception to the
statistics on the ground that they were
collected by the church itself.

they were correct. '

Senator 'Bailey pressed the point by
saying he did not think much of a

Into a long explanation of how the mani
festo cam to be issued.
In effect the statement was that the
question was presented after the pas
sage of the law whether members of
the church should observe the constitu
tional law of the land or continue to
practice the law of, the church. The
Lordi made manifest to Woodruff It
was his duty to stop plural marriages.
That revelation . was accepted by the
church. Smith admitted he could have
educated and supported his children
without having new issue, but chose not
to do that thereby violating the laws
of Utah. The church gave him those
wives and it would be inconsistent if It
compelled htm to forsake them.
