A bill providing for the election OF all
Territorial officers by the people, which

highly probable that as long as the

Babcock is the central figure and a

Two men, named Daniel McMasters
and VIM. Jane, were killed at Bingham,
Utah, on the 2lst inst, while thawing
out Giant powder at the Neptune Tun-
mel. The Salt Lake Tribune's cores
pendent says:
In the smith shop at the mouth or en-
trance of the tunnel, they kept tin can
or bucket for the purpose OF heating
water in which they immersed the frozen
sticks of giant powder, thus rendering
them 30 soft as to be cut with knife in
pieces as the strength or burden of their
blast required. This operation had been
SO often repeated in the same vessel, and
perhaps in the same water, that the
quantities Of glycerine-or whatever the
power may be-expelled by immersion in
hot water, sufficiently charged the water
in the vessel, or formed precipitate in
the bottom, so as to become an explosive
agent when brought in contact with fire.

/ II response to request from a committee
/ Of the State Bar Association, the State Execu-
4 tive Committees of both political parties have
issued circular letter to the committees of the
various counties, declaring that as the Gener-
al Assembly, by unanimous vote, adopted
the resolution authorizing the submission Of
an amendment TO the State Constitution pro-
viding for commission to dispose of the un-
finished business before the Supreme Court, it
cannot be considered partisan matter. The
circular states that the judges of the Supreme
Court believe the proposed measure to be of
vital importance to remedy the delay of the
present system, which amounts to practical
denial Of justice. In view of the fact that
there seems to be no opposition to the amend
ment the committee suggest that the ticket OF
both parties be printed having on them SIM
ply the words, For the Commission This will
leave all opposedto the amendment free to ex-
press their approval by striking out the words

The Situation in Mississippi.

The delegation of Mississippi white and col
ored Republicans, among whom was the col
ored United States Senator Bruce, called on
the Attorney General Wednesday morning,
and had lengthy interview with him on af-
fairs in that State. Afterward, in conversa-
ton, members Of the delegation spoke frrely
of their home affairs. They concede that
there will be no further trouble in the State if
the Republicans quietly yield up the control
to the Democratic minority. This accords en-
tirely with the private outgivings of the Dem
ocratic leaders to the effect that they are de-
termined to carry Mississippi this fall. The
Attorney General does yet regard the case as
one calling for Federal interference. but it is
hardly possible that the General Government
will stand idle while the rights of the majority
Of the people of Mississippi are thus trampled
upon.

After the honeymoon WAS over, the
young wife discovered that her hubby's

so, like a sensible young woman, she

Hubby was rather captrous about his
steak, but she made no excuse. "Ips
Tough" said hubby, land it's not cook

smiled, but made no defense. Then
hubby got fearfully mad; he lifted his
plate and dashed it on the floor, with
the remark, Course that steak" His
wife raised up her plate, too, and DASH
ed it on the stove, with the remark,
"That's mel" Hubby stared at the
plate, at his wife, then at the floor, and
said, "Why, Ellie, you should not
mind me. II am little hasty, soon

THE colored people sst the Republican bar
becue, at clinton, when the Democratic ruff
fans broke up the meeting, fed with their
women and children for life, leaving their
mules and wagons on the ground. The White
League armed bands that were hurried TO the
ground by telegraph and rail, to turn the oc
casion to massacre, divided into squads, ri
ding over the country, and shooting unresit-
ing black men in their cabins, fields, and
wherever they could find them. They could
not return to get their wagons without being
murdered. The ruffians piled the wagons and
harness together, and set them on fire, turning
the mules loose. For days after the mules
were astray, the owners either killed or having
to hide for their lives. This is the way the
whites promote the restoration Of Southern
industry.

The PapaI Nunclo's Circular.

LONDON. Sept. 16.-A Madrid cor
respondent to the Times sum mariezs g
the circular OF the Papal Nuncio to the
Bishops as follows The Nuncio claims
the fulfllment of the corcordat which
fOrbids the exercise of any non Cathol-
ic creed, requires the transfer OF the
superintendence over education to the
clergy, and pledges the cooperation Of
the secular power in suppressing heret-
ical tesching and literature. He says
one OF the causes of civil war is the
way in which religious unity has been
misunderstood by previous Govern
ments. For these reasons, in view OF
these consequences, the Holy See be-
lieves itself strictly obliged to present
these observations to the Government.
The Times correspondent adds: mo
doubt the presentation of this audacious
claim, at time when Liberal Cab
met has Just been installed, implies a
threat that II the Government rejects
it the blessing of the Church will be
definitely transferred to Don Carlos and
peace retarded in every possible way"
Gov. MORTON is making triumph
al progress through Southern Ohio
His meeting in Highland county was
attended by three thousand people, and
in Jackson county, in the heart OF the
mining regions, he had an audience of
five thousand. Respecting the miners,
a correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette says:
at Wa. noticeable fact that the
larger portion of some OF the township
delegations were made up entirely OF
miners OF that class which the DE mo-
Gratis believe to be SO ignorant that it
can easily be imposed upon by the lies
and sophistries of Sam. Cary and other
demagogues. Never did their dema-
gogues make a greater mistake than
when they supposed they could easily
cheat and deceive the minors. The
demonstration at Jackson, to-day, was
a proof that the laboring rnen are in
telligent and wide awake, and not to be
imposed upon. 1t was rich music to
hear some OF these mining delegations
cheer Gov. Morton as he passed back
along the line Of the procession"
A dispatch from Portsmouth to the
Cincinnati Times, dated the 14th, says:
"The largest mass meeting that ever
assembled in Portsmouth, is now be-
ing addressed by Governor Morton, in
Barnum's pavilion; fully 10000 people
are in attendance. No such enthusiasm
has ever before pervaded the 2epubli-
can masses. If there i. anything in
surface indications, Hayes will carry
Sciota county by five hundred majori-
ty. Governor Morton goes from here,
this afternoon, to Ironton, where he
will be greeted by the largest torch

The old meeting house which has stood
for upwards of eighty years living mon
ument of the persistent energy aud perso-
verance of the early settlers of this Town,
was to have been sold at auction on The
Goth inst, but owing to there not being but
few present the sale was continued until
Dec 4. 1t seems from look at the records
that as early as 1901 there was a town meet
ing warned at this house, and in 1902
meeting was called to see if the town would
paint the NEE ting house, and sell the pew
ground. OF this meeting 1 can find no
record. II 1906 a meeting was called 10
see il the town would "vote to raise mon
ey 10 finish the meeting house I'd, to see
if they would sell pew ground TO finish the
same" April 18th, 1906, "voted to pass
over an article 10 raise money, and voted
unanimously to sell the pew ground at
vendue for the purpose of finishing the
meeting house, and that the construction of
the house shall be as follows, viz: One seat
on The left and one on the right OF the
broad alley, and the remaining part of the
floor to be converted into pews in the most
convenient manner, and one tier of pews
in the gallery on each wall, and the remain
der 10 be converted into seats in the most
convenient manner" Chose a committee
consisting of"Jonathan Hall, Arms Brown,
Ambus Stone and they were instructed
to report their progress on the first Tuesday
of Sept, 1906" On Sept. I'd, 1906, the COM
mitiee reported that they proceeded 10 sell
at public vendue the pew ground in said
house, and that they have sold ALL the pew
ground in said house. Some feeling that 1t
would be an act not favora BILE for the har-
mouy and good feeling of society have Pc
titioned the selectmen to call town meet
