In the special message of Gov,
Woods to the U,tah Legislature
vetoing the memorial to .Goft:,
gress asking for a committee of
investigation in regard to tJtah
affairs, the Governor states that
he is not aware that the majority
of the people of Utah are accused
of disloyalty, and he .does riot
consider It necessary for Congress
to investigate the charge; that
he has been continually confront-
ed with a violation of the laws of
Congress without ability to. en-
force obedience thereto because
Of; defective and inimical legisla-
tiou; that he has reported the
faets to .the Federal authori-
ties and to the Legislative
ssembly :. that to ask, him
to1 join in condemning .his
Own official acts as untrue and
made with malicious intent, is a
sad commentary on the judgment
and good taste of those who make,
the request; that the laws of this
Tetrritory as they how stand are
inadequate for the protection of
the rights of the citizens. ;
'' It cannot be denied that there
has not been a jtuy empanneled
ih this Territory'for more than
three. yJears whose verdict wo^ld
have been valid, nor can there
be in the laws now in, force.
Such are the. decisions of the
DijBtrict and Supreme Courts^
and therefore life, liberty ana
property are at the mercy of the
lawless , and dishonest, without
possibility of protection. „Xbu.
have been called upon to furnish'
a remedy. The power to;.do so
is in our own hands. If we do
not giye the needed legislation,
Congress must, or anarchy will
ensue. In 1862 the Congress 3f
the United States enacted a law
prohibiting plural marriages, now
practiced to a great extent' in
this. Territory, in direct viola-
tion.of that law. It;is not. suffi-
cient to say that the law is
eonstitutional. The Supreme
. Court of. the United States has
riot so,decided, and until that is
done, it is the law of tiie land,
and, should be obeyed. .V„
In my message to the Legisla-
tive Assembly in 1873, I call
attention to violation of the act,
and : urged the enactment of a
law prohibiting polygamy in fu-
tare^ but nothing was done. Can
we, in truth, say that no law of
the United States is violate<| in
Utah f It is wdl known that a
large number of homicides have
been committed in this Territory,
and . in many instances no at-
tempt to bring the persons charg
ed with such crimes to trial have
been made, and such are the radi
eal defects of the laws that no le-
gal convictions can be had, r The
Legislative Assembly in 1870 con-
ferred the right to vote upon ev-
ery woman who is a wife, widow
or daughter of a native born or
naturalized citizen of the United
States without requiring that
they shall have attained the age
of twenty-one years,has perfected
citizenship under naturalization
thus conferring upon aliens an(

In tliese days Of railroad competition
the Wise traveler selects his route before
leaving home. In almost every instance
he desires to reach his destination as
speedily as possible, and for the accom-
plishment of that purpose the Miss&uri Pa-
cific Through Line from the West to the
East, via Kansas City and St. Louis, offers
inducements unsurpassed by any other
line in the'eountry. Everything connected
with the Missouri Pacific R. R. is first class,
and the adoption of the Miller Platform
and" Westitigfcouse Air Brake, together
with its Pullman Sleepers and Reclining
Chair Coaches, render a trip over the line
perfectly safe and pleasant. Passengers
from all parts of the West, by taking its
Express Trains at Kansas City, Leaven-
worth, Atchison and other prominent
cities, are landed in St. Louis at seasonable
hours morning and evening, and in ample
time to make direct connection with all
railroads for every point in the North,
East and South. Particular information,
with maps, time tables, Ac., may be had at
the various "Through Ticket" offices in the
West, or upon personal or written applica-
tion to G. H. Baxter, Western Passenger
Agent, Kansas City, Mo., or E. A. Ford,

Meeting Public Requirements.
The efforts of the managers of the St.
Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short
Line to meet the requirements of the trav-
eling public have resulted in a large increase
in through passenger business, which has
"kept up admirably, notwithstanding the
dull times, mainly attributable to the ex-
tensive improvements made in the last two
years, costing over two million dollars be-
sides earnings. The company is now run-
ning five of their magnificent day coaches
which are fitted up with Buck's reclining
and adjustable chairs, and dressing rooms
with every desirable toilet convenience,
without any extra charge. Ten more ;of

Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N, Y.:
Dear Sir—I^im sixty years of age, and
have been afflicted with Salt Khenm In the
worst form for a ' great many years,' until/
accidently, I 88^ One of your books, which
described my case exactly. I booght your
Golden Medical Discovery aqdtook two
bottles, and a half, and Was entirely cured.
Frqm iny shottldprs to ' my hands I was
entirely covered-'with eruptions,1 also on
face and body. I was likewise afflicted
with Rheumatism, so that; I walked with
great difficulty, and that is entirely cured.
May God spare you. a long life to remain a
blessing to mankind.

The Fancies of the Sick.
A diseased imagination is the usual oon-
comitant of a torpid stomach. There is
' no complaint to which humanity: is subject
which the dyspeptic does not at .different
times suppose that he has, or is about to
have. The only way to disabuse'the suf-
ferer's mind of these fancies, which are
realities to him, is to infuse life and vigor
into his digestive organs, and the most
potent preparation for this purpose is Hos-
tettef's Stomach Bitters. There is no af-
fection of the stomach, no Irregularity of
the liver or disorder of the bowels, conse-
quent upon indige$tk>n, for which it is not
an absolute specific. During the twenty-
five years that it has been the standard
tonic and alterative of America, millions ci
dyspepties have recovered their health and
the capacity to enjoy life by the sole aid of
this wholesome and searching vegetable
preparation. As an assimilaot and anti-
bilious agent, a remedy for lassitude, de-
bility, nervousness and morbid fancies,
there has never been anything comparable
to it in anv age or country,
