Mid the dust, and scent and gloom
OF the undertaker's room.
Waiting, empty-ah, for whom?
Ali what watched cradle bed
Keeps tonight the nesting head,
Or on what soft, pillowing breast

That ere long, with darkened eye,
Sleeping to no lullaby.
Whitley robed, and still, and cold.
Pale flowers slipping from its hold,
Shall this dainty couch enfold!
Ali what bitter tears shall stain
All this satin sheet like rain,
And what towering hopes be hid
Meath this tiny coffin lid,
Scarcely large enough to bear
Little words that must be there,
Little words cut deep and true,
Bleeding mothers hearts anew

Round our pathway cast a gloom.
Chill and darksome as the shade

From our arms an angel dies,
And our startled, dazzlcd eyes,
Weeping round its vacant place,
Cannot rise its path to trace,
Cannot see the angel face.

SINNER Of gold,
Rashly importunate,
Slipped from my hold
Others before it
Have gone to their rest;
But this seemed the nearest
All, this was the dearest,
For this was the last.
Look at my purse
No longer n curse,
No longer blessing,
Nor anything worse.
Take il up tenderly,
Lift it with care,
Looking so slenderly,
Feeling so bare
Touch it not scornfully,
Think of it mourniully
Gentle humanity;
Not of the HEFT of it,
All that is left of it
Now, is mere vanity.

When from each twany fold
Glittered the shining gold
Then the dear friends of old
Hailed me with pride.
Alas for the rarity

Friends-I'd no lack of them;
Now turns the back of them,

Fearfully muse on thee,
Empty old pursel
Wondering amazingly
Whether my case will be,
In the sad days to be,
Better or worse.

In the case Of the Granite Bank swindle,
at Voluntown, Conn, the New Haven CO,s-
rier says: 1 RAJ
"Bills had been struck off to the amount of
$4,000 and 1924 600 had been issued and
put into circulation between the 2Sth of Oc-
tober and the Sd of November. The parties
who had received the money, had given no
satisfactory security for it; still il was evident,
from arrangements in progress and partly
carried out, that they intended to keep money
enough ut the Suffolk TO redeem until thsy
got the endorsement before the public, and
then make wholesale issue and get it off
their hands, and let the bank fail, and the
public be swindled to large amount. The
immediate action Of the commissioner prevent
ed, in part, the consummation of the fraud,
and it is believed that most of the 1924, 900 is
sued is still in first hands,"

The MOrmOns Declare War on the
United SGnteHs

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE War Depart
ment today received some highly interesting
official dispatches, including proclamation
of Brigham Young's, declaring martial la in
Utah. He claims the right to do so by virtue
OF his authority as Governor of the Territory,
and Superintendent of Indian Affairs, not
having been suspended from exercising his
functions, and by virtue of his power under
the Territorial organic act. He expressly
torblds the s. troops entering the Territory
without his authority for so doing, and COM
plains that the Mormons have not been treated
as American citizens, and that the United
States Government has acted on misrepre-
sensations, the object being to drive the Nor
mons from the Territory.
The language of the proclamation is. en-
phatically, in hostility to the authority of the
United States, and is regarded here as a dec
laration of war. When Col. Alexander was
within thirty miles OF Fort Bridget, which
place is occupied by Mormon troops, he re.
ceived letter from Brigham Young through
the commander of the Nauvoo Legion, warn
ing the troops out of the Territory. The let
ter was accompanied by two copies of the
proclamation, and copy of the laws of Utah.
The Commander tells Col. Alexander that he
is at the Fort to carry out Young's instruc-
tons. and expresses the hope, that Col. AL
S<AohhAOi dhSHOA anu dCllOls Will O6 ulCldLSQ
by proper respect for the rights and liberties
Of American citizens,
COL Alexander, in his reply, dated Oct. ID,
says he has given Young's communication his
attentive consideration, and will submit the
letter to the General commanding as soon as
he arrives here Cmeaning Camp Winfield, on
Hams Fork), In the meantime, he adds, l
have to say that the troops are here by order
of the President of the United States, and
their further movements will depend entirely
upon orders issued by competent authority.
Among the documents is letter from Col.
Johnston, dated from the camp on the Three
Wings of the Sweetwater, addressed to Ad-
jutant General Mcdowell of New York in
which he confirms the burning Of the con-
tractors trains by the Mormons He says
the Government escort is four days march
behind him, with two companies Of dragons.
de knows Of no reason why Col. Alexander
should attempt to reach Salt Lake by Bear
River, excepting from fear that the Mormons
have burned the grass on the shorter route.
He adds, if l could communicate with Col.
Alexander, l would direct him to take up
good position for the Winter at Harris's Fork
The road is beset between this and Harris
Fork with companies of Mormons SO it is
doubtful if | shall be able to communicate
with Col. Alexander. 1t is supposed, at the
| War Department, that the troops are all in
good condition, as nothing to the contrary is
said in the dispatches.
