Union. Perhaps no religion IN this

missionary work and colonization.
These were the sources Of o power

those of the faith were most ODE

tigation of the awful Mountain
Meadows massacre. The faith was
in every way degrading, especially
the polygamous feature of it, That
religion now had absolute posses

reason to believe that before long

polygamy bill of 1882 and Ed

The speakers plan was to have the

The Cholera.


The dreadful scourgs Of which
Sue wrote so graphically in his
"wandering Jew" is now devastAt'
ing Egypt and has made ito appear
ance in London. Eleven years ago
an English physician predicted
that it would come in 1888 and
ravage Europe. It is also generally
believed that it will visit the United
States. This dreadful disease has
often swept over the Old World,
and the number of its victims rams
into the millions. Of late years
science has made rapid strides in
diagnosing the disease, and what is
more important still, its causes.
Aside from the remedies which
the medical profession unite in pre-
scribing, the habits Of the disease
have been so studied, that men at
large can assist the doctors greatly
in fighting it. The following are
some of its characteristics
It tiourishes best in filth, and is
easiest communicated through filth

Editor KANSAS CHIEF:-Permit me, through the
medium of your paper, in behalf of myself and wife
to thank our many friends and neighbors who so
kindly and alphabetically assisted us in our late
bereavement, in the loss Of our only son George,
and also of our daughter Mamie in November, 1881.
Scarcely more than two short years ago, We left
eastern home full of hopeful antcipations, look
ing forward to a permanent residence in Kansas.
Before the close of the year, darling Mamie was
called to enjoy the beauties of the Summer Land.
Though deeply grieved at the loss of one of our
three little ones We endeavored to bear up under
our bereavement, hopeful in the anticipation of q
future reunion. With the coming of the spring oil
1883. our oldest child, George, was called to join
his sister, leaving us our youngest daughter, Flor
ence. With maternal solicitude, fearful of the eff
fects Of the March winds the health Of our re
naming child, hasty departure for their former
home, in Toledo, Ohio, resolved upon, and now
after the disposition of my personal effects,

And We like leaves when comes their time to fall
Till some lie meath the sod and some afar roaming
We, who each TO each were all in all

Where Summer leaves ne er fade, nor are dispersed

in Kansas, extend to al kind farewell,
