what had occurred, men and women, some
Of them despsiring OF finding their little

lto remove the broken timbers.
Near the front of- the building the
searchers first came across the body Of

Norm on Invasion of Mexico

News from Mexico is to the effect
that son of the late Brigham
Young has made "A recent visit to the
Mexican state of Sonora for the pur-
pose of spying out the land and To-
eating there a Mormon colony. It
Is not improbable that the ultimate
design of the Mormon chiefs is to
transfer the entire Mormon system
to Mexico, in the hope that it will
receive less opposition there than in
the United States. When Brigham
Young selected the Salt Lake valley
the residence of his followers, it
was not anticipated that railroad
construction would ever bring them
into close proximity to the popular
classes in the United States and to
the agencies of the general govern
ment. The construction of the
Pacific railroad, while it has not re
tarded, but has greatly enhanced,
Mormon prosperity, has surrounded
them with hostile people and
brought them within reach of an
unfrlendlY government. 1t is prob
able that the Mormon leaders, hav-
ing in view the present and future
lines of transcontinental railroads,
are of the opinion that in Sonora
they will not be approached by any
line of railroad which will again
bring around them an inimical pop
ulatlon and government influences.
If President Diaz, however, wish
es to divert from Mexico the worst
evil that can betall it, he will keep
the Mormon colonies out. He sees
what they are in the United States
No successful plan to eradicate them
has been ievised. If they are too
4 powerful tor the United States, they
might overrun and govern Mexico.

table, his first act is to examine his
napkin to see if it has been properly
laundried or if it has the least speck on
it. Then his plate is minutcly inspect
ed on both sides, and the knife and
fork are carefully examined. Dry toast,
eggs and cafe az lat constitute his ia
vorte breakfast. Mr.. Conkling is .
great lover of saltwater fish, his taste
running particularly to boiled cod and
the pompano of the gulf. For soup he
imperiously demands terrapin or green
tartle. He once loved macaroni, but
it inclined him to fat and he abhors it
now. 1t is said Conkling has con-

been known to water over a young NUT

favored with walnut sauce. Mr.. Conk-
