Owing to the predictions of the Prophet Joseph Smith respecting the growth of secret combinations of a destructive character, the following from Chicago, under date of December 30th, 1888, is deemed worthy of presentation: Anarchist Parsons, a dark skinned widow, to-day made good her boast which occurred these words: "God The following was received the next day Dec. 31st: Master-in-Chancery Windes, to whom was referred the anarchist petition for an injunction restraining the police from interfering with their meetings, rendered a lecision this morning. The opinion refuses to recommend the granting of the petition, thus giving victory to the city. The Master says he does not discover any property rights involved in the issue, and that there is no precedent for the granting of such an injunction. On January 1st the following was among the press dispatches from Chicago: In view of the decision rendered yesterday in the matter of the application of the anarchists' organization known as the Arbeiter Bund, in which Master-in-Chancery Windes declined to recommend an injunction restraining the police from interfering with its gatherings, although suggesting that one might not improperly be granted by a higher authority, Mayor Roche today sent a letter of instructions to the police department, in which he said: "I have instructed the corporation counsel to convey to the court the idea that if the Arbeiter Bund has a legal and lawful right to hold public meetings we wish the court to so declare, and if the officers of usual authority they should be so the city have been exercising unadvised as they do not intend to act illegally to deprive any person of his rights upon a mere technicality. cumstances, to deprive any class of We don't propose, under any circitizens of their Constitutional rights. but the police department must of embezzling funds belonging to the necessarily be governed by experl- political refugees except actual lead- by President Cleveland to be Proence.

As will be seen from the following dispatch the Anarchists appeal from the refusal to enjoin the police: A new political group is being formed at Belgrade aiming at the Diphtheria at the Penitentiary.

On New Year's eve the members of the Eighth Ward, Salt Lake City, as a mark of the love and esteem which they entertain for their Bishop, and by way of exhibiting their delight at his release, accorded him a reception, which took place in the Eighth Ward assembly room. The arrangements for the gathering were carried out in a most complete and committee of ladies and gentlemen, satisfactory manner by an active the company numbering upwards of 200. A first-class supper, contributed by the members of the ward, had been provided; and to this the invited guests sat down at seven o'clock.

The day coach On Monday, Dec. 31, 1888, W. C. Brown, a non-"Mormon," was arrested by Deputy Rench on a charge of adultery. It came about in this wise: Brown had heard that his wife, from whom he had separated, was going to prosecute him for having married again. He met Rench, with whom he was slightly acquainted, and began to tell of the trouble he was in, apparently oblivious to the fact that Mr. Rench was a deputy marshal. Brown went on to tell how he had been married, and that his wife had left him without cause; that after she had been gone out of the country four years he married again, and now she had returned. The deputy listened to his recital, then informed Brown that he was a prisoner. Brown was taken before Commissioner Norrell and told substantially the same story. He was held to await examination today, and in default of $800 bonds was sent to the penitentiary. This morning it developed that he had told several others of his marital difficulties, but his stories did not agree, and the effect was decidedly against him. At the investigation it was shown that a Miss Rossbeck married Brown on Nov. 1, 1879, while he was a soldier in the Fourteenth Infantry, then stationed at Fort Douglas. She lived with him till May, 1884, Dur and had three children. children. tory at all. Brown went to Ogden, where, a year and a half ago, he married Louisa L. Young.

After graduat ing from college he came west to Wisconsin, where he engaged in the study of law. He was married there, and when the war broke out enlisted in the Union army. He was deli cate in health, but the dauntless spirit with which he was possessed, and his remarkable presence of mind and calmness during the exciting scenes of the battlefield, are testified to by those who witnessed his coolness and bravery at Corinth, at Iuka, at Vicksburg, and many other battles of lesser magnitude in the great civil war. In 1861 he started in his career in the army as adjutant of the Eighth Wisconsin Volunteers the famous "Eagle Regiment;" after nearly two years' service he was made adjutant-general of the brigade, and a few months later adjutant-general of the division. He was next made colonel of the Forty-second Wisconsin, and during the last few months of the war was in command of the post at Cairo, Illinois.

"Before eating, the tiger always drags its prey a short distance. After the meal the tiger sometimes lies down by the skeleton, but if there are hills in the neighborhood, it will probably go off and find a cool spot for its nap. "If anything has been left, the tiger will return the next night to eat it, but it never makes the second meal in the same spot as the first, always dragging the body a short distance away. "The tiger can eat half a bullock in two hours. Tigers will also eat each other if it is more convenient than to hunt up other provisions. They are supposed to kill only once in five or six days, and, in fact, do probably sleep and doze for several days after they have gorged themselves, but they will kill whenever they get a chance, and it is on record that one tiger killed for fourteen consecutive nights.
