OKE jOF DR. CUPID'S PRESCRIPTIONS.
That Love sometimes cures disease is a
fact that has recently been called to the
attention of the public by a prominent
physician and college professor. In some
nervous diseases of women, such as hys
teria, this physician gives instances where '
women were put in a pleasant frame of
mind, were made happy by falling in love,
and in consequence were cured of their
nervOHS troubles the weak, nervous sys
tem toned and stimulated by little Dr.
Cupid became strong; and vigorous, al
most without their knowledge. Many a
woman is nervous and irritable, feels drag
ged down and worn out, for no reason that
she can think of. She may be ever so
much in love, but Dr. Cupid fails to cure
her. In ninety -nine per cent, of these
cases it is the womanly organism which
requires attention; the weak back, dizzy
spells and black circles about the eyes, are
. only symptoms. Go to the source of the
trouble and correct the irregularities, the
drains on the womanly system and the
other symptoms disappear. So sure of it
is the World's Dispensary Medical Associa
tion, proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, that they offer a $500 reward
for women who cannot be cured of leucor
rhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or fall
ing of the womb. All they ask is a fair
and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Dr.- Pierce's Pleasant Pellets clear the
complexion and sweeten the breath, they
cleanse and regulate the stomach, fiver and
bowels and produce permanent benefit and
do not re-act on the system. One is a
gentle laxative.

JOSEPH F. SMITH :
AGAIN TESTIFIES.
President of the Mormon Church
r
Tells of His Polygamous Re
lations and Practices.
PROVED HIGHLY SENSATIONAL.
Astered at Members of the Committee,
Witness Turned Upon Cosxress aid
Charged Inst Body With later
ferini With Private Affairs.
Br Telegraph to tht Morning Star.
Washington, March 5. Admit-
lions from Joseph F. Smith, president
of the Mormon Church, respecting his
continued violations of the law for
bidding polygamous cohabitation,
again constituted the feature of the
proceedings to-day before the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions against Senator Reed Smoot, of
Utah. The witness, angered by the
persistent efforts of some members or
the committee to obtain from him
every detail of his remission In obey
ing the law, turned upon Congress
and charged that body with interfer
ing without authority in bis private
domestic affairs and usurping the
powers of the Utah courts, which
alone, he said, possessed the right to
hold him to account for his conduct.
While the witness had been taken
In hand by the defence for. the pur
poses of cross-examination, the mem
bers of the committee in reality con
sumed the greater portion of the time,
and matters were brought out along
the line followed by the prosecution
in the three first days of the hearing.
Some of the testimony proved highly
sensational.
At the beginning of to-day's session
Mr. Smith gave figures showing the
proportion of polygamlsts In the Mor
mon population, saying the number of
polygamlsts originally excluded from
voting was 4,000. Mr. Smith said that
In 1902 only 897 were still living.
Referring to Senator Bailey's ques
tions yesterday In regard to the mani
festo, Mr. Worthlngton read from a
sermon of President Woodruff, deliv
ered a year after the manifesto against
plural marriages, In which President
Woodruff declared that he was moved,
and 10.000 latter day saints were
moved by the spirit of God to abandon
the practice of plural marriages.
Banator Bailey contended that it
was In obedience to the demands of
the law or fear of the consequences of
the law that provoked the revelation.
Continuing, he said : "For my part,
I don't have much faith In a doctrine
that does not get a revelation com
manding a change of conduct until
there Is a statute compelling it."
"When the Jaws were paised, which
were not in harmony with the teach
ings of our church," said, Mr. Smith,
"we held that they were unconstitu
tional. Of course our own rules com
manded that we obey the constitution
of the land, but we fought the validity
of the new laws from the lowest to
the highest court, and when It was set
tled by the Supreme Court of the
United States that plural marriages
could no . longer be indulged in, of
coune we were Inclined to obey."
"But we had a revelations on our
own statute books in regard to plural
marriages and It was necessary to
obey that In order to obtain certain
blessings that could not be received
without obeying It. Whether we
should obey the law of the land or
continue to practice the law of the
church was a serious question.
"We hold that the president of the
church is entitled to receive revelations
Inspired by the Almighty God. Presi
dent Woodruff sought guidance from
the Lord and the Lord made it mani
fest to him that it was his duty to stop
plural marriages., He proclaimed that
revelation and it was submitted to the
entire church and thus it became bind
ing and from that iay to this the
aw of the land has been kept so far as
plural marriages are concerned. But
there is a great difference between
taking a plural wife contrary to law
and in taking care of the wives taken.
berore it was a violation of the law. 1
would not desert my wives. I would
not abandon my children. I will run
my risks before the law.'-'
President Smith's voice shook with
emotion. He showed more feeling
than he had at any previous time ex
hibited as he leaned forward and said:
"But it Is to the laws of Utah that
I am answerable; it is the law of my
State that has the right to punish me.
The courts of Utah are of competent
jurisdiction. Congress has no busi
ness to interfere with my private
affairs.
"If the courts of my State do not see
fit to call me to account for my- con
duct, I cannot help it. Congress has
no right to interfere it has no right
to pry into my marriage relations and
call me to account."
Chairman Burrows at this point
questioned the witness. He asked :
"xousayyou would not abandon
your wives or your children. Why
do you consider it necessary to. have
Issue from your plural wives in order
to clothe and care for your children
that had been born before unlawful
cohabitation became a crime t"
'Because my wives are like all
other women. It is necessary to main
tain peace, harmony and good will be
tween myself and my good wives.
That is the kernal in the nut. That
is why I have chosen not to obey the
laws of my State prohibiting polyga
mous cohabitation.
The church gave me my wives and
I do not think the church could be
consistent in taking them," said Mr.
Bmith, in answer to a question as to
why be did not agree with the Wood
ruff manifesto.
"The Lord elveth and the Lord
taketh away," quoted Senator Bailey
from the Scriptures. Continuing, the
senator said it appeared that polyga
mous conaoitauon is loroiaden by
both the law of the land and the law
of the church, as laid down in the
Woodruff manifesto, and addressing
tne witness, ne assea :
"Then as head of the church you
are violating the law of the land and
the ordinances of the church as well!"
"Not the ordinances," said Mr.
Smith.
"Well, the law, then."
"No, the rule," said the witness.
"The rule after all is the law for
conduct," said Senator Bailey. "I
was only trying to emphasize what the
relations are. 1 don't know as much
about the nice distinctions In religion
as I hope I do about the law, but it ap
pears that both the rule of the church
and -the law of the land forbade po
lygamous cohabitation, and you as
head of the church violated both.
"I will not quarrel with the senator
about that," the witness said. Later
he said that Senator Bailey's assump
tion was correct.
"In reply to Senator Overman, Mr.
Smith said that the revelation of the

manifesto of 1890 had not been pub
lished in the lateat edition of ' Doc
trines and Covenants," but that ihls

'Replying to Chairman Burrows, Mr.
8mlth said that he does not tesch pp
lygamy, and added: "I am not openly
and obnoxiously practicing polyga
mous cohsblisiion."
"How could you better tescb polyg
amy than by practicing it t" Mr. Bur
rows continued.
The reply was: "I am notpracuc
logpolyftamy. I am practicing polyga
mous cohabitation, which. Is not polyg
amy. Polygamy is plural marriage,
and I have taken no plural wives
since the manifesto of 1890."
Replying Jo a question from Senator
Overman, Mr. Smith said that the
pamphlet containing the manifesto
did not state la terms that it was a rev
elation from God, but that the state
ment was made that it was published
by authority of the church, which was
sufficient It then appeared that the
manifesto had not been put in as evl
dunce, and Mr. Taylor then intro
duced it with other documents.
After wnshlnff, the biftter should be
removed from the churn In the granu
lar form, weighed and placed upon
the worker. It bhould be spread even
ly on the surface of the worker and
salted to suit the taste of customers.
The tendency seems to favor fresher
butter. . From one-half to three-quarters
of an ounce of salfr to the pound
of butter will be about right The salt
used should be the best obtainable, and
It should be 6lfted over the butter and
perhaps mixed in to some extent with
the paddle. After passing the worker
over it once or twice the butter should
be turned and worked again until the
salt seems to be thoroughly worked
in. It may then be put away to cool
and after several hours given the final
working. The amount of working re
quired tho second time is to be deter
mined by the appeaanee of the but
ter. If the salt is not all worked in at
first working, portions ' ft the butter
will be of a lighter color than the rest.
It should be worked Just enough to
make It all of uniform color. At first
working there is no way of telling pos
itively whether it la worked enough or
not, as the "mottles," or streaks, will
not show for several hours; hence the
reasonfor two workings. Great care
should be taken not to overwork it, as
thls will spoil the grain, which con
sists simply of the butter granules that
we had In the churn. When a piece of
butter of the right grain is broken or
pulled apart, it should have the ap
pearance of broken cast Iron; if worked
too much, it will have a salvy, greasy
appearance. Care should be taken to
keep the butter at all times at a uni
form temperature, as it will then re
main hard and firm until finished. M.

Carrjr It to the Farmer.
While we are spending hundreds of
dollars every year in holding large con
ventions for dairymen it is a fact that
a very small percentage of our cream
ery patrons ever see the interior of a
convention hall.
The way to reach the farmer most
effectively is to carry Instruction to
him.
A buttermaker is admirably situated
to do this work, and he can serve his
company and the dairy industry in no
better way than to inaugurate a few
local meetings. If you have never
tried it, call a meeting at the school
bouse, get a competent man to make
on address, post yourself on the ques
tions of breeding and feeding, and you
will be surprised at the response from

Keeping; Tab on Ml lit Output.
It Is a great mystery to us why
thousands of other dairymen do not
keep accurate records of the milk yield
of their individual cows. It has been
demonstrated over and over again that
even the most careful dairymen and
the best judges of cows are frequently
deceived. Even so careful and exact
a man as Mr. Gurler of Illinois, after
taking extraordinary pains to weed out
all the poor tows In a lot of fifty, found
four that brought him In debt for feed
and labor. The average profit for these
fifty cows was $19.98 each, but among
the number there was one fa debt to
him .$11, another $6.80, apother $5.34,
another $1.15, and one other made a
profit of only 44 cents, while the four
best cows in the lot made an average
profit of $53.77 each. We venture o
say that there is not one herd in ten
where there are twelve or more cows
that does not have one or more cows
that It would be profitable to kill out
right. Excellent spring-balances can
be bought for $5 or less, and the time
required to weigh the milk both night
and morning is less than one minute
per cow. Who Is there, then, that can
not afford to keep records? Field and

Br Telegraph to tho Hornlns Star.
Washington, March 5. There was
an Interesting exchange of views In
the Senate to-day between Mr. Nel
son and Mr. Bale. The Minnesota
senator, in the course of a brief collo
quy with Mr. Patterson, expressed the
opinion that there Is such a common
ally of Interest on the part of the
United 8tates, Great Britain and Japan
as to protect China against dismember
ment. To this statement Mr. Hale
objected, sharply, saying that the po
sition of the United Btates in the pres
ent war Is that of neutrality.
The Naval bill again occupied prac
tically all the time of the Senate, but
while the amendment concerning a
naval training station on the great
lakes was technically the pending
question, it searcely was mentioned.
Mr. Clay took issue with the con
tentions of Messrs. Lodge and Depew
as to the necessity for a strong fight
ing sea force to keep the United States
out of war. He did not crlticis) the
additions so farjnade to the navy, nor
the carrying out of the pending bill,
but he could not agree that there were
to be no relaxations. No country, he
said, Is challenging us, or questioning
our position on the Monroe doctrine.
Our rights were secure, he contended,
f we properly preserved the rights 01
other nations. He did not believe
that there was any danger of war
with Germany, but nothing was so
likely to make trouble with other
powers as an immense navy composeu
ot many ambitious men. He claimed
that ex-Secretary uoor now, neio ine
same views concerning the retention
of the Philippines as were maintained
by the Democrats.
Ur. Ulsyalso contended thatinsre
should be a congressional committee
to Investigate expenditures In the de
partments, saying that no business
man would let business Involving
millions drift along as Congress was
doing. He criticised the policy that
led to the expenditure or f2U7,uuu,uuu
annually.for war and refuses to erect
publio buildings in Washington that
would save rents of C30.000 per year.
Mr. Martin, Democrat, a member of
the Committee on Naval Affairs, de
fended the bill and called attention to
the fact that no one bad found fault
with the Increase of the navy as pro
posed by the bill. "We must have a
strong navy," he said, and the recent
expansion of the UnitedStates was fur
nishing the resson for this necessity.
He referred to the possibility of
France and Great Britain being drawn
Into the Oriental war because of their
respective alliances with Russia and
Japan, and-while he did not believe
that the United States would become
Involved in the imbroglio he did not
consider it the part of wisdom to be
unprepsred. .
Mr. Depew said that the Georgia
senator could not separate the ex-secretary
from the Republican party on the
Philippine question as would be round
hen Mr. Root's full views were
known. The American people are not
quitters, he said, but they hold on. He
did not bslieve that any one now liv
ing would tee our relations with the
Filipinos diminished.
Mr. Nelson referred to our naval in
fluence in the East, Saying that with
this country, Great Britain and Japan
all united In support ofn open door
in China, there was no danger of the
dismemberment of China. All, too.
were hostile to the absorption of Man
churia. He did jot believe that there
was any formal alliance, only mutu
ality of Interest.
Mr. Hale protested that this debate
was extraneous. "I don't want the
statement of the senator from Minne
sota to go unchallenged," he said. "I
do not agree that there is to-day any
such common interest between the
United 8tates,Great Britain and Japan
on the one side, against RussiSfDrance
and other powers, as his statement im
plies. Our attitude is one of neutrality
and Is so declared by our State Depart
ment. We are not against Japan, nor
must it be said that all our Interests
are with her and against Russia and
other continental European powers."
He said that if Japan should be suc
cessful in her present war the United
States would find herself in more
danger in commercial matters from
that ambitious power than any other.
Mr. eorman criticised Mr. Moody as
imprudent in charging the Democratic
party with partisanship, because of his
(Mr. Gorman's) attitude on the navy.
He had spoken for himself in saying
the administration was advancing too
rapidly and had gone too far in the
increase of the navy. "Executive
officers," said Mr. Gorman slowly and
with deliberate emphasis, "would serve
their country better if they attended to
the details of their offices and abstained
from criticism of senators and mem
bers of Congress."
Mr. Gorman then gave his atten
tion to the atatement of Mr. Lodge
that a navy was a conservator of
peace, saying that this declaration was
contrary to the conviction of the fath
ers, tie differed iromMr. LiOdge in
considering this an aggressive nation.
He hoped the time would soon come
when the people would return to the
Democratio .republican doctrine that
our power was not measured by the
number of guns afloat nor by the
number of uniforms we had.
"It we are at war," said Mr. Gor
man, if our commerce were threaten
ed by war, we would give the secre
tary of the navy all that he could
spend. But all' the country knows
that these millions, these billions,
have done more to demoralize than
otherwise.
He had no sympathy with any
movement against China. No matter
what nation might secure supremacy
In the country, the United States would
secure our share of its commerce.
Mr. Oarmack agreed with Mr. Hale
that if China should fall under
the dominion of Japan it would be
very doubtful whether the United
States would derive any advantage
from it
Mr. Oarmack read an extract from a
newspaper saying that $435,000 had
been expended for the purpose of
keeping two pleasure yachts, the Mav

GOATS IN NEW ENGLAND.
All th American Market For Mo-
hair Are In Thl Region.
New England farmers who raise An
gora goats have a decided advantage
over breeders in the west, The Amer
ican markets for mohair are all in
New England. The largest mohair
mills in the world are located at San
ford, Me., while others at Lowell,
Mass., are extensive.
The question of overproduction is not
one that will rise for many years to
come. There Is not nearly enough of
the domestic product to supply the de
mand. Besides, new uses are constant
ly being found for it. The mills of
Sanford and Lowell alone have import
ed this year about 800,000 pounds of
mohair from Turkey after purchasing
every pound obtainable in this country.
Most of the hair this year, both the do
mestic and the foreign, bus gone into
the manufactured car plushes. The
demand for dress goods, robes, etc.,
cannot be supplied.
What I have seen and read of farm
ing conditions in New England lead
me to believe many sections are ad
mirably adapted for the raising of An
goras. Flocks of these goats would do
much to solve the problem how to re
claim the abandoned farms, so often a
subject of earnest discussion in the
eastern press. To restore these farms
to their original productiveness it is
necessary to clear them of brush and
briers and enrich the soil by any' and
all kinds of available fertilizers. For
this work these animals should be ex
ceedingly helpful and at the same time
reasonably profitable. They will destroy
the brushwood completely by eating
the leaves in summer and the twigs
and bark in winter. If the goats are
permitted to run in the same pasture
the second season, at least for a tune,
they will destroy the sprouts that
spring up from the large roots, and
then the roots themselves die. It will
require from four to six head only for
an acre of ordinary brushwood.
While destroying this brushwood any
kind of indigenous grass ' will spring
up as fast as the sunlight is admitted
to the soil. The goats will not eat this
grass further than to snip off a blade
top now and then unless they are con
fined to It as their feed. Usually, es
pecially in blue grass regions, there is
a pretty fair pasture ready for sheep,
horses or cattle as soon as the goats
are done with the brush problem. Such
pastures are sometimes Improved and
hastened by the sowing of grass seed
among the stumps. While destroying
this brushwood the goats are enriching
the soil by their droppings, the value of
which depends upon the value of the
land receiving them. In a general way
the droppings may be valued at $2.50
per head per year.
With careful handling, only such as
is given sheep, the increase in the flock
should be 100 per cent, certainly not
less than GO per cent. At five months
of age the kids would be worth at pres
ent prices from f 2.50 each for the low
er grades to $5 for the best ones. If
the goats are of good quality they
should yield three and one-half to five
pounds of mohair, which at the present
prices would bring not less than 38
