THE MORMON TROUBLES.
NauToo. Illinois, April l6, 1916

NAUToo, Illinois, April 10, 1910
The difficulties between the Mormans
and Anl-Mormans, which have been so
rife for a year past, still continue. Nor
manism, instead Of exploding here, as it
was supposed it would, upor the death of
the Prophet, Joe Smith, has continued
as honrishing as ever, Joe's place has
been supplied hy"The Twelve Apostles, +"
who now rule the destnies of this band
of ignorant, lawless and nnprincipled ia
natcs with the sway of dsepolsm. The
Temple is still progressing, and the out
side will probably be completed, this sea-
son. When completed, it will be beau
lilul edifce, far surprising anything in
the State. 1t is one hundred and twenty
eight feet long and eighty-feet wide, and
is sixty feet from the basement to the
caves. They are now building a wall
eight feet wide and fourteen feet high all
around it, enclosing six acres. What the
object of this wall is, am not aware, but
the Anti-Mormons see in it great Nor
mon forufcaton. One thing is certain
the Mormans are fast increasing IN power
and strength, and they talk openly of de-
fencing themselves against everything
that does not suit their notions Every
house has arms in it, and there is scarcely
Il man in the city who does not carry arms
on his person. They permit no process
of law TO be executed upon inhabitants of
the Holy City unless it suits the sover-
eign ma esty Of the Saints. No, man is
permitted TO express any opinion here de.
rogatory to the character and standing
of the People. If he does so, he is imme-
diately driven out of the city by a Nor
mon Mob. There have been several ill
stances of this kind lately.
The trial oithe persons indicted for the
murder of the Smiths last summer comes
on at Carthage in this County in four
weeks from Monday next. 1t will be
time Of tremendous excitement Some
six or seven of the most respectable citl-
zens ofthe County are indicted for the
murder Of the Smiths, and among the
number are Hon. Jacob c. Davis, State
Senator; Thomas c. Shape, Esq Editor
of the Warsaw Signal; w. N. Grover,
Esq. Counsellor at law, aud Col. Will
lams. All these gentlemen have strong
friends who are determined they shall
have fair play-several maiilary compa-
mics from the AntI-Mormon portions Of
this County and from the adjoining Coun-

Taste for Reading, If | were to pray
for taste that should stand by me in stead
under every variety Of circumstances, ana
be source of happiness and cheerlnlness
to me through life, and shield against
its ills, however things might go am'sS'
and the world lrown npon me, 1t would be
a taste for reading. | speak of it, OF
course, only as a worldly advantage, aud
not in the slightest degree deroga'lng from
the higher office and sure and stronger
pnnopIy orreIigious principles, but as a
taste, an instrument, and mode of pleas
nrablc qualification. Give man this taste
and the means Of gratifying it, and you can
hardly fail of making him happy man,
unless, indeed, you put into his hands
most perverse selection of books. You
place him in contrast with the best society
in every period of history; with the wIses',
the wi,iest, with the tenderes,, the braves',
and The purest characters who have adorned
humanity. You make him a denIzen OF
all naions-a contemporary of all ages. -
The world has been created Tor nm. IL
is hardly possible but the character should
take higher aud better tone from the
constant habit of assocating in thongh'
with class OF tinkers, to say the least OF
it, above the average Of humanity. 1t Is
morally impossible but that the manners
should take ,ngc Of good breeding and
civilization, from having constantly before
onr eyes the way in which the best bred
and best informed men have talked and
conducted themselves in their intercourse
with each other. There is gentle, bu
perfectly irresistible coercion, in habit
of reading, well directed, over the whole
tenor of mans character and conduct
which is not the less eiIectual because i
works inscnsibIy, and because it is really
the last thing he dreams of. 1t cannot be
better summed up than in the words o
the Latin poei-'EmoIIit mores, nee s'nl
esse leros,' it civllizes the conduct OF men
and suffers them not to remain barbarous

The democrats of the "Old Dominion"
have achiebed noble victory in the State
election, which took place, April 2l.-
Increased mojorlies have crowned their
efforts in almost every quarter. The result
is a gratifying evidence of the growing
popularity of Mr. Folks administration,
and upon it depended the election of a U.

and a Governor. As far as heard from the
democrats have made net gain of TEN
members of the House Of Delegates, in
which the lbderal majority last year was
