the country. President Buchanan
determined to put stop to these out
RACES, and in 1857 appointed Alfred
Cumming, who had been Superin-
tendent of Indian Affairs ON the Up
per Missouri, Governor, and Judge
Eckels, of Indiana, Chief Justice of
the Territory, and force of $500
men, under General Harney, was
sent to protect them in their proper
functions. The Mormons were great
ly excited at the appearance of these
troops. Young issued proelama-
ton denouncing the army as mob,
forbidding it to enter the Territory,
and calling upon the people of Utah
to repel the invaders. They attacked
and destroyed several supply trains,
and the troops were compelled to go
into winter quarters at some distance
from Salt Lake. In November Gov
ernor Cumming issued proclama-
ton declaring the Territory to be in
state of rebellion. In the early
part of the next year negotiations
were entered into, the Mormons sub
mitted to the Federal authority on
promise of pardon and the Federal
troops encamped on the western side
of Lake Utah, about 40 miles from
Salt Lake City, where they remained
until May, 1860, when they were
withdrawn from the Territory.
This was the only time since the
Mormons settled in Utah in which
the authority of the United State was
clearly defied by Brigham Young,

threats of an uprising. Gent,les in
Utah have been subjected to all man.

Mormon crime, of which it is believ-

cognizant, is black indeed. The

Gently been recalled to the public
mind through the trial and execution
of John ID. Lee for participation in
the crime. There was prospect
that judicial investigation would have

had in this awful massacre-whethe
it was at his instigation or not--and
that if guilty he would have paid the
fullest penalty which the law could
impose. lie is now gone beyond the
reach of earthly tribunals.
Young acquired great wealth while
at the head of the Mormen Church.
His fortune -variously estimated at
from ST, ,O00, 900 to $4,000, 900, and
the latter figure is probably nearer
the mark than the former. He leaves
eighteen wives, and his entire family
consisted of about siXty-five persons.
HIS death will undoubtedly do much
to effect the disintegration of the
Mormon Church. Internal dissen-
sions will be almost certain to grow
out of the contest for the succession.
The blood of Joseph Smith was be-
lieved by the Mormons to be the seed
of the Mormon Church. The death
of Brigham Young may be the blight
which will kill it.-Detroit Free

An old but vigorous-looking gem
tlcman, seemingly from the rural dis
tricts, got into 4 car and walked its
full length without receiving an in
vitation to sit down. Approaching
the gentleman who had whole bench
to himself, lie asked; ''Is this seat
occupied?"
''Yes, sir, it is," impertinently re-
piled the other.
"Well," replied the broad-shoul-
dered agriculturist, II will keep this
seat until the gentleman comes"
The original proprietor withdrew
himself haughtily to one end and
looked insulted. After while the
train got in motion, and still nobody
came to claim the seat, whereupon
the deep-chested agriculturist turned
and said: "Sir, when you told me
that this seat was occupied, you told
me lie"-such was his plain Ian
guage. II never sit near liar if
can avoid it; L would rather stand
up" Then appealing to another par
ty he said: ''Sir, may l sit next to
you? You don't look like liar. -
We need hardly say that he got his
seat, and that the original proprietor
thought that there was something
wrong about our social system.

TWO MINUTES TOO LATE.
by CAPTAIN CHARLES HOWARD.

| by CAPTAIN CHARLES HOWARD.
With his goodbye ringing in her ears.
Drucie Miller re- entered the little tele-
graph office and dropped into the
chair before the clicking instrument.
CHANGING at the clock above her head,
she noticed that it was almost time
for her to close the office for the
night, and seek her home at the foot
| of one of the darkcned streets of the
village. The rumbling of the train
which had just left the station was
growing fainter and fainter, and the
girl listened to it as though it was
the voice of friend who was leaving
her for long time.
She did not expect any more mes
sages that night the engine breathing
heavily from its great iron lungs on
the track near her window would not
move until the night express had
passed up and the engineer, knowing
this had sought his sweetheart, who
lived in the village.
Tom Gray, the engineer of the
train just departing, was Drucie S
lover. and his intimate friends knew
when the wedding was to take place.
He had not known her long, but that
did not matter, since he was Il true
fellow, who loved her with all his
heart, and with all hers she loved
him.
The rumble of the train at
length died away and Drucie was
about to shut off the current and
leave the office when Il message began
to fall upon her ears.
She started, for the first word drove
the color from her cheeks, and stand
ing over the instrument she heard
this message:
''No. 10 switch at Colby till No. 6
passes. Six just starting!"
'Six just starting! My God! They
will meet!' cried the beautiful opera
tor starting from the table. What
can / do to save him-them?"
And with her eyes staring at the
clock, she stood in the center of the
room, thinking of the two trains APP
preaching each other through the
r,ist that almost hid the moon.
The real situation, enough to
blanch young girls checks, was ap-
pallihg.
The order of the train which had
just left Fletcher to switch at Colby,
could not be obeyed now. The tele-
graph, even, could not stop it, for
there was no night office at Colby. 1t
was an unusual thing for No.6 to leave
Fort Wayne before the arrival of No.
10; but as the latter train was some
twelve minutes behind time on that
particular night, No. 6, anxious to
leave on time to save Its connections,
telegraphed to Fletcher the message
which had so startled Drucie Miller.
From Fletcher to point four miles
below Colby, the company had COM
pleted double track, which, finished
to Fort Wayne, would obviate the
necessity of switch and prevent trou-
bic.
WheM Drueie recovered her self
possess bn she started from the office
with til message in her hand. 1t had

awaited the decisive moment.
The sound of the train on the
other track grew momentarily more
distinct, and the daring girl faneied
that she heard number six coming
through the valley below Colby.

courage the boy at the lever. 81 see

Then she leaned out of the window
and shouted at the top of her voice.
"Switch at Colby! Switch at Col

Many times she repeated her cry,
and all at once she dashed by the
heavy train!
Right into her lovers face as he
leaned from the engine. she shouted
"Switch at Colby!' and heard the
shrek that told her that he would
obey.
"Saved! saved, Jim!" she cried
with Joy, turning upon the hreathless
hoy who was already checking the
Bellies speed.
"Golly-whizn' he said, laughing,
'If we can ever stop the Belle, We'll
go back" But the girl got hei

we don't fear her now!'' said Dlucie
with a smile. '.Tom and his passen
gers are safe on the SWITCH"
The next moment number six dash
ed by, and Drucie laughed and actual
ly clapped her hands.
The meeting between Tom Gray
and his love cannot be described.
Your headlight seemed like (

your voice-don't know why, guess

'.T'ime!'' cried Jim. Il don

There was langh at the boys ex

Drucie aside he kissed her.
1t was not the only kiss she go
that night, for all the women on tn
train kissed the girl who had save'
their lives. and Tom Gray said h
wouldn't get jealous when the nous
tachcd passengers bent over Drucie
blushing like rose.

Boschee's German Syrup can now be
purchased right at home; it is the most
successful preparation ever introduced
to our people. It works like charm
in all cases of consumption, pneumonia,
hemorrhages, asthma, severe coughs,
Group and all other throat and lung
diseases. No person has ever used this
medicine without getting immediate
relief yet there are great many poor,
suffering, skeptical persons going about
our streets with a suspicious cough, and
the voice of consumption coming from
their lungs, that will not try it. If
you die, it is your own fault, as you
can go to the druggists, Addoms q

the indications are that the Democrats

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE following
extract from the report of the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office re-
lates to the desert land law and vari-
GUS other subjects of especial interest
on the Pacific coast. The land laws in
their execution become unpopular,
though in the meantime rights may
have vested under them. In such cases
the law making power hesitates to en-
act supplemental laws or make appro-
priations necessary for the execution
of the same. 1t also frequently hap
pens that wrongs are done in executing
a law which, if properly administered,
would be beneficial and salutary in its
effects. Under one or the other of
these two classes of laws may be
grouped many in relation to sale or
other disposal of public lands. Falling
under one or other of these classes may
