Chosen to lie World's Fair Mayor in the Face of Determined Opposition--End of an Exciting Contest-- Elections In Other • tpgcwcs. •• Carte- Carrie* CUdfo. After the bitterest and btornly contested municipal campaign in its history, Chicago has elected Car­ ter H. Harrison to the thief magistracy of the city. His majority is in the neighborhood of 20,000, and with him the whole Democratic city ticket is elected. The eleotion of Han^son was opposed by every newspaper in the city except the Times (his own paper) and th? Mail, and the fight has been notable for the bitter personalities indulged in by both sides. The fact, also, that ihe man chosen this year is to serve through the World's Fair, a period that will be most trying to the city government, hm caused the whole Swept by a Wave. EARLY Fr'day morning a huge ware swept into the mouth of the Chicago River from the lake and played havoc with the shipping moore.l there ready to start eastward with the opening of navigation. Considerable damage was rone and it will take several days to re­ ctors ordei' out of the chaos created by the unusual occurrence. The wave was •ffive feet from trough to crest and car­ ried away everything that fell in its "path. Theories as 10 its cause were plentiful. Son.e old lakemen declared that there must have been a volcanic -disturbance in the lake, while others jagain declared it to be a species of tidal .Jwave. and were inclined to connect it with the warm, sultry w, ather that fol- > j-: i Sowed. As the wave swept in between the pier-heads and bore up the river, it .... f°re huge steamers and barges from ||p*".their mcorings, and, as it 1 seeded, it wi . carried them out into the lake.

Hocker Elected to the Supreme Bench In Michigan. A Detroit dispatch says that there Is no doubt of the election of Hooker (Rep.) to the Supreme Bench by a plurality of 10,000 or over, and the Re­ publican candidates for regents have won a still greater victory. In the old Democratic strongholds, such as Wayne and Saginaw Counties, the Be- publicans have made great gains. They have captured Grand Rapids, Ann Ar­ bor, Manistee, Lansing and other cities formerly Democratic. The Democrat# elect Mayors at Ypsllanti and Port Huron, overturning Republican ma­ jorities. Ail the proposed constitu­ tional amendments have undoubtedly carried, the opposition being incon­ siderable. A light vote was polled throughout the State. License Issue In Minnesota. Party lines were not closely drawn in Minnesota cities, the contests generally hinging on the question of license. At Anoka the Democrats and Populists united against the Republicans and felected George McCau ey Mayor by a majority of 124. The combination also elected all the Aldermen except one and all the other city officers except Treasurer. Donald Grant (Rep.) was cbosen Mayor of Faribault. At Ada W. H. Bangs was elected. No license won by a majority of 3. At Wabasha the Citizens' ticket, headed by C. C. Hirschey (Dem.) for Mayor, was elect­ ed by a majority of 111. At Albert Lea T. W. Knatvold (Bep.) was chosen Mayor over W. G. Keilar by a ma'oritv of 143. The hottest fight in South Dakota was at Watertown, where everything hinged on the question of whisky or no whisky. According to dispatches the cold-water people were defeated, the opposition candidate for Mayor, W. A. Davis, being elected by a majority of 150. All of the Aldermen and other city officials on the Davis ticket were also electel. Republicans Carry St. LonU. The election In St. Louis resulted In a victory few the Republicans. They secured Mayor, Collector, Council, and most of the minor offices, if not all. Cyrus P. Walbrldge secures the Mayor­ alty plum from, J ames Bannerman by a majority of about 3,000. Henry Zeleg- enheim,. for Collector, and Charles Kage', for President of the Council (Republicans), defeat their Democratic opponents by still larger maioiltles. The Republicans, it is thought, also secure every one of the six couucllmen and a majority of the house of dele­ gates. Result In HUwauker, The Democrats carried Milwaukee, electing all their judicial candidates and sendiog Mayor Peter J. Soraers to Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the election of John L. Mitchell to the United States Senate. The vote cast was surprisingly large, considering the quiet manner in which the campaign was conducted, and shows that both' sides planned a surprise for each other. The Republicans did some hard and quiet work and got out a large vote, but the Democrats were equally active. At Bpriitgneld, 111. At Springfield returns from over half the city show that the entire Democrat­ ic city and township ticket is elected by decisive majorities. The probability is that the Republicans have elected four out of seven aldermen. Little Interest In Nebraska. The result of the municipal elections in Nebraska as shown by returns from towns representing all portions of tho State are without especial political sig­ nificance. In many places the issue was licence or no license or high license or low license. The contest appears to have been about equally waged, with the advantage somewhat in favor of license. Excepting places where this question was up. no particular interest was manifested and a light vote is re­ ported. In South Omaha O. E. Walker, the candidate of the American Protec­ tive Association, was elected over Wal­ ters, Democrat, by sixty-five majority. He carried the rest of the ticket with him by smaller majorities. Quiet Day in K»nw. The elections in Kansas were the moss «Miiet and orderly ever held in the cities of the State, owing to the opera­ tion of the election law passed by the Legislature making it a fine and im­ prisonment to give away whisky or cigars or to pay money for votes or to Influence votes. Elections were held in all the first and seccrnd class cities for Mayor, Aldermen, and members of the School Board. At these elections worn- crats and Populists fcated the Republicans. The Repub­ licans won a victory in Topeka, electing tbelr candidate for Mayor, D. C. Jones, by a large plurality. WINTER WHEAT CROP; * Varying Conditions Reported from Eleven States. A detailed report in the Farmers' Re­ view covering eleven States shows that there has been little improvement irt the condition or winter wheat since the last report. The present condition in Illinois is not even fair. Most of the reports run from fair «o poor. In some counties the late sown wheat is found to be killed and will have to be plowed up. On clay lands especially the damage In some counties has been great. In other counties the late sown wheat sprouted after the advent of winter and such fields were kille I by the later severe weather. In Indiana the general condition Is fair. The wheat that got a good start last fall is generally doing well. Some of the fields that were be­ lieved damaged are reviving, but slowly on account of the cold nights. Much of the wht at on the low lands has been damaged by excessive wet. Ohio reports show the condition to be much better than either of the two States mentioned. The condition varies from fair to good. The early wheat Is look­ ing well, but late is not so promising. In many counties the stand is very good and without.any disaster will make a fine crop. In Michigan the condition varies greatly, some reporting very good and somo very poor prospects. The general condition .is fair. Considerable damage has resulted from freezing. In some counties the crop is still covered with snow, and condition cannot be de­ termined. In Kentucky the general condition is only fair. Much of the wheat was frozen out. In Missouri most of the correspondents report fair. A few report poor and a few good. Some wheat has been frozen out, and the fields look dead, while other fields look well. Conditions in Kansas are a little better than in Missouri. The crop needs rain badly. In Nebra-ka the general condition is good; but in most counties there has t een as yet little growth. A few counties report the condition as tart. In Iowa and Wisconsin the con­ dition Is reported as fair to good. In Wisconsin many of the WiieaL ileids are still covered with snow. Reports from Minnesota are too meager to summar­ ize. The outlook for fruit is generally good. The trees ripened their wood well in the fall, and the buds are well develope I. The condition at present is reported at from fair to good from all the States covered by our report of win­ ter wheat. A few counties in Illinois and Michigan report the outlook poor.

DEDICATION OF THE FAMOU& SALT LAKE STRUCTURE. ' ment employes amount' In round num- ! thniiS^^HSSra8fTaSVgtrucTu^ bers to $100,0(0,ti00 a year, and in the four years' term which is ahead of the Democracy, will foot up the handsome total of !ti400,010,000, or thereabouts. Possibly the figure may hot reach quite this amount at the present, but the chances are that It will overrun it be­ fore the four years' term ends, for with the growth of the country there is no getting away from the growth in the number of o'fices and the amount that! straw must be paid in salaries. The talk of a reduction in offices and the salaries of those who occupy them is "moon­ shine." It can not be done without neglecting the business of the Govern- three stories high on the bank of the Tuna, a small cieek. At 4:30 a vig­ orous ringing of the big bell on Ihe hill aroused the whole town. A brisk wind was blowing at the time, and it fanned the flames in the hotel and gave them strength and vigor. When the firemen leached the sceae the whole hotel was tnveloped in Are. It was of wood and burned like a vast heap of There was an awful panic in the hotel when the guests were aroused. The men and women rushed from their rooms into the hallways, filled already with smoke and flame, and jumped from the windows. The jump was a bad one Frim .ho'up^r story it was to pay lor having it done, and well done, there is no occasion for a niggardly economy which would prove disaatious in a business way. Probably few of the people who are scrambling for places realize that the total amount of sala­ ries paid to Government employes loats up so large a sum as a hundred million dollars a year. Yet this Is only a dollar and a half apiece all around, now that our population is 66,000,000 people. And this only makes the average salary of the 200,000 people •Who hold office under the Government about five hundred dol­ lars per annum each. Something of the details of where this money goes may be of interest. The diplomatic service is not so expens­ ive a luxury as would ,be supposed probable. The salary of Ministers amounts to only $340,000 per annum; Secretaries of Legation $40,000 per an­ num, and Consuls $500,000, while there is also an additional allowance of about $100,000 for clerks and consulates. The salaries in the offices of the Secretary of the Treasury amount to about a half million dollars a year, but this does not include the various divisions in which thirty feet on the west side, with a plank bottom fo strike on. On the east side was the creek and the distance was forty feet, but several persons made the leap for life into the stream and were rescued. AT Buzzard's Bay, Maes,, Joe Jeffer­ son's beautiful villa, Crop's Nest, was destroyed by fire which started in the cellar, caused by a gas explosion. 80 rapidly did the flames progress that it was with much difficulty that Mrs. Jef­ ferson and the family made their escape. Several of the servants were severely burned, and the coon, Helen McGrath, lost her life, being suffocated in the basement. The house cost $30,000, and the pictures, furniture and bric-a-brac represent d au outlay of over $100,000, though prized far more for their associa­ tions. WOMEN CRUSADERS INJURED. They Forced Their Way Into a Saloon and Received Roagh Treatment. Six of the lealing ladies of Rolla, N. D.. are lying wounded and bruised in their beds as the result of a remark- the salaries run from a few thousand up , able light Sunday afternoon with saloon to more than a half million dollars per I men. A crusade was made against the Declares Against the Boycott of the Lo­ comotive Engineer*. Now that the text of Judge Rick's decision in the Ann Arbor strike cases is published, the Court's position appears not at all revolutionary. He declares that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has no right to maintain a boycott against the interstate freight of any road cn which there may be a strike. The ordering and furthering of such a boycott, he says would be criminal, under section 10 of the interstate com­ merce law. He, therefore, enjoins Chief .Arthur and the brotherhood from enforcing the boycott lule against the Ann Arbcr Road. But when he comes to the Individual rights of the engineers he declares that Clark, C ase, Rutger, and Conley acted within their rights and were entitled to quit the scrvice of the Lake Shore Road when they did. These engineers, em­ ployed by the Lake Shore, were or­ dered in turn to haul out a Lake Shore train in which there were Ann Arbor cars. Each in turn replied that he would quit the road's service. This, Judge Ricks says, they had a right to do. En­ gineer Lennon, who, being out on a run, refused to switch an Ann Arbor car into his train, is judged guilty of contempt of court and fined. It seems, therefore, that the right of each individ­ ual engineer to refuse to make a run with a train containing cars for or from a road on which there is a strike is af­ firmed. But if preconcerted action to the end should be proven it would con­ stitute a crime punishable by a heavy fine. How the World Wap).

The salaries for the office of Secretary of War amount to over one hundred thousand dollars, and those of the Record and Pension divisions of the War Department foot up over one million dollars per annum. The pay of the office rs of the line in the aroiy is $2,800,000, and there is added to that $90,000 for pay of officeis for length of service. The pay of the enlisted men of the army Is $4,100,000; offices on the retired list, $1,122,010. The pay table ot the navy is about half as much as that of the War Department, and the total salaries of the Treasury Depart­ ment, inclu ling over two millions in the Internal Revenue Service alone, Is about twelve millions of dollars. The Interior Department spends about five million dolla: s a year for salaries, the Agricultural Department a little over a million, and the Department of Justice about the same. The Postoffice Department, however, is the one which piles up the total of salaries, Even In the Postoffice De­ partment In Washington the salaries amount to nearly a million dollars a year, and when you branch out into the postal service all over the country It be • comes appalling. The appropriations for the fiscal year jufct about to end allotted $15,250,000 for postmasters and $10,764,000 for the free delivery service. There should be added to this $5,00i»,0J0 for carrying the mails by star routes, most of which Is for salaries; mail-mes­ senger service over a million dollars, and railway postQffice clerks $6,631,000. Even Congress is a somewhat expensive luxury. The pay of Senators amounts to about half a million dollars a year and that of Representatives about $2,- 000,000 a year, to say nothing of the amounts paid for the employes, clerks, stenographers, and messengers who as­ sist them in Iheir duties. Nothing better and more happily illus­ trates the growth of this country and prosperity of the people than a compar­ ison of the conditions at this time with those which existed when Mr. Cleve­ land came into office eight years ago. That the country has been prosperous under Uhe two administrations which are represented in those eight years is evident. Then there were 7,750 banks, now there are 10,000. Their capital stock then was $7£0,000,000, now it is over a billion. The people then had $2,700,000,000 laid away In the banks "for a rainy day," now they have $4,700,000,000 so deposited in the banks. Our national wealth, which then was $48,000,000,000, is now $69,0(0,000,0(0. The average per capita of wealth in the United States, including property and money, then WAS $860 for each individ­ ual, while to-day it is in round numbers $1,000. LIKE RATS IN A TRAP; Ten Lives Go Ont In the Bowels of the Karth. One of the most distressing disasters that ever occurred in the anthracite region followed the explosion of a lamp in the hands of a Hungarian employed In the Nelson colliery near Shamokin, Pa. The colliery, which is operated by J. Lengdon & Co., is one of the largest and best known in the region, paying superior wages and fur­ nishing work to its thousand employes the year around. Fire followed the ex­ plosion, and the smoke whioh rushed through the air shafts caught ten men who had gone to work in a vein above the scene of the explosion and smoth­ ered thorn to death. The day being a holiday there were not so many men at work as usual. Others for the same reason were late in reaching the mine, and it is owing to these fortunate facts that the death list is not very much larger. The fire started about twenty feet blind pigs of Roiia under the auspicef of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and Sunday wa* the day set for the securing of evidence upon which to base prosecutions. A committee was appointed to make the circuit of the joints, and it marched bravely up the stieet followed by two-thirds of the female population of the town. The first pig they came to was pre­ sided over by Lin Bush. He attempted to prevent the entrance of the females, but they were not to be stopped by tritles. Bush was tossed to one side, and for the first time women stood within the precincts of a North Dakota prohibition dive. An inventory of stock was begun, and several bottles of "hop tea" and several of "XXX porter" were seized. While in the midst of their explorations Landlord Bush returned with assistance and soon the air was full of animated femininity. When the women gathered themselves.up out of the street several were bleeding from brutal blows and all were dis­ figured. They threaten dire ven­ geance. • BrteHets.

After Forty Years. The great Mormon Temple, the Tem­ ple of God, which was begun Feh. fi, ~ 1853, and erected at a ccst of $5,000,000, was dedicated Thurs­ day in the presence of a vast throng of believers at Salt Lake City, Utah. Mormons from every city and town in Utah swarmed ->/ into the city and the BRIGHAM VOC2(Q. Vast edifice was sur­ rounded by a great multitude. The temple itself vras crowded almost to suffocation and it was estimated that between 60,000 and 70,000 people en­ tered the building before the services ended. The Temple is the overtowering ob­ ject which strikes the eye of the trav­ eler as he enters the Sa t Lake Valley. The first idea gained on beholding it Is that of an enormous castle of feudal times, and Its mammoth proportions and the solidity of the great blosks of stone suggest that it will l#st as long as any of the grandest architectural achievements of antiquity.- On a nearer approach the effect of the battlements, which give the idea9>f a castle, disap­ pear, and the tali spires and numerous narrow windows, with the figure of the angel surmounting the highest steeple^ suggest a cathedral of magnificent di­ mensions. It was on the 24th of July, 1847, that the Mormons entered the valley of the Great Salt Lake and decided that here was their resting place, the promised land for which they had been in search. Four days afterward, in making a sur­ vey of the then sagelrush coveied plain, Brigham Young, their leader, struck his cane on the' ground at a point midway between two running streams and ex- claimed: "Here shall be erected the temple of our God." Six years latier the corner stone of the present structure was laid. It was forty years to the day, almost to the hour, since the ceremony of lay­ ing the four corner-stones was cele­ brated in an imposing manner by Brig- ham Young and all the chief dignitaries of the church living at that time.

About 6:50 In the morning a Hungarian was filling his lamo and it exploded, Ig­ niting the oil about h'm. He rushed from the oil-house and the flames spread with rapidity. Attempts were made to fight the fire, but those who started to 00 so were compelled to flee for their lives. They succeeded in reaching the bottom of the shaft and were hauled to the surface along with some belated miners who owe their lives to the fact that they did not go to work at their usual time. The ten men who lost their lives were at work in the red ash vein, located nearly 10 > feet above where the fire broke out. Through em airway Irom the lower vein to the red ash vein the smoke fioured, suffocating the unfortunates ike rats in a trap. Almost the entire town gathered in the vicinity of the burning mine, fom the air passages of which g^eat volumes of smoke were Is­ suing. The scenes were most distress­ ing. The wives and children of the im­ prisoned men uttered agonizing cries and implored the men in the crowd to rescue their loved ones. Although the hardest kind of work was done, it was impossible for the vol­ unteer force to extinguish the flames. Lat«s orders were given to turn Car­ bon R^s Greek into the mine. This w.ll day in addition to their regular salary, The matter Is being Investigated by Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle. | IT is said that three years ago Elliott F. Shepard tried to effect $5u0,000 in-, surance on h s life. Three companies refused the risk because of alleged evi- | dence of Bright's disease, while a fourth company passed him and issued a pol­ icy of $100,000^ Tomatoes Do Not Cause Cancer. In a late issue of the London Times appeared a letter to the editor con­ taining the following: "There is a very prevalent idea that eating toma­ toes is an exciting cause of cancer, and for the last two years we have been so inundated with letters on this subject that the medical com­ mittee of the Cancer Hospital would be greatly obliged by your publishing in the Times their opinion--viz., that tomatoes neither predispose to nor j excite cancer formation, and that they are not injurious to those suffer-' ing from this disease, but are, on the contrary, a very wholesome article of diet, if properly cooked. We shall also be greatly obliged by other pa­ pers making this generally known." having been previously completed, all the bands and choirs In the city were called out and the entire population of the city, numbering then about flve thousand, assembled on tho Temple block. The southeast corner-stone was first laid. Since that time the work of building the Temple has been prosecutod in the face of enormous difficulties. For the first twenty years the work proceeded very slowly, all the stone having to be conveyed from the quarry by means of ox teams, six or eight animals usually being employed to transport a single rock from the quarry to the Temple Block and four days being required to make the trip. When Johnstone's army invaded Utah In 1857 the walls of the Temple, which had then reached a level with the ground, were hastily covered over with earth, and the Mormons fled from the city, abandoning it to the army. After Johnstone retired the wails were uncovered again and work was resumed where it was left off. At" the completion of the Union Pa'cifio Railway 1si track was laid to the quarry, and from that time forward the work was pushed with great vigor, so that although it is forty years since the building was commenced, not more than twenty-five have actually been ex* pended in its construction. Like the Jews of old, the building of temples has always held a cardinal place in the faith of the Mormons. The Salt Lake Temple is the sixth building of the kind they have completed and tbe seventh they have begun. The first was commenced at Independence, Mo.,» in 1831, and dedicated by Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, but wa$ abandoned shortly afterward owing to mob violence. The second was built in Kirtland, Ohio, in 1833, and completed in 1836. When tbe Mormons left Ohio the building passed into the hands o£ the Josephites, the anti-polygamy fac­ tion of the church, who still hold it . The third temple was built in Nauvo©;' 111., in 1841, and finished in 18i^, but was destroyed by fire In 1818, and razed to the ground when Nauvoo was sacked by the opponents of the Mormons. The; other temples are located in St. George, / Utah, built from 1873 to 1877; in Logan, Utah, built irom 1877 to 1884; and in Mantl, Utah, built from 187^ to 1888. The co3t of all its predecessors com­ bined, however, does not amount tl> more than one-half of the money e*> pended in the construction of the Salt Lake edifice. Some of the main dimensions of the . building are as follows: Its whole length, including towers, 1s lb6A feet; its width is 90 feet; the three towers oft the east rise to a height of 222h feet ia the center and 188 feet on the sides. The three west towers are from 3 to 10 feet shorter. The height of the wallSi. to the top of the rock work is 167i feet. The thickness of the walls at the botj» ' torn is 9 feet and at the top 6 feet. Thjb thickness of the footing wall is 16 feel* and the whole building covers an area of 21,850 square feet. Each corner towpr has a etaircase of solid granite, cut by hand, of over two hundred steps. The building has its own electric plant, heating apparatus, cooling machines^, power for elevators, etc., and the spec­ tacle at night, when all the pinnacles . as well as the crown of the angel's ure on the central tower are illuuiinated- with electricity, is stricking and brilli­ ant in the extreme. - 1V Everywhere throughout the building the prevailing style is solidity, richness an I symmetry. White and gold are the prevailing colors, though the ceilings show 6ome rare decorative work. Sev­ eral years ago the Mormon church- sent several artists to Paris to study rainting and art decoration for thi# purpose of having them paint the ceil­ ings and the rooms in which tne n.ost secret ordinances are celebrated, om#i ' af which is said to be a representation if the Garden of Eden, and itsHs de«' • scribed as a marvel of beauty by tfeotfCr who hate beheld It. •"*' ' Three Children Cre lia'od.
