Grand Military Drill at Wash
fnRtOu

The following information pertaining
to the national drill and encampment for
infantry, cavalry artillery, zouaves and
cadet corps to be held at Washington
from May % to 80 next inclusive. will
interest our military boys-the Rodman
Rifes-who may take part and come
home covered with glory as it were.
There is 10 be $25 900 in cash prizes.
The attendance of companies from every
state in the union will be large, anil in
order to limit the attendance to such a
number as can be provided for, only such
companies as are known TO be first-class
in their drill and discipline and earnest in
their efforts toprepare themselves for the
occasion will be invited. Thus far the
national drill committee has shown
broad liberality, and no doubt this will
prove to be one of the finest military en-
campments ever held in the United

TO hinder the Rodman Rifles going down
to Washington and winning distinction

shown themselves to be as brave as there

proficiency in drill. Will the boys go?

their part and determination to stand

HOW BISHOPS ARE MADE.
The New Leader For the Fourteenth
ward Saints.

Readers of the DEMOCRAT will remem
Der that short time ago the then bishop
of the Fourteenth ward was fired from
his exalted position into the deep, dark
Mormon hell for the commission of a
crime inhuman in the extreme and dis
! gushing in infnity. This, of course, left
the ward headless, and since that time
the Saints have been cropping along in
the dark as best they could, and have no
doubt felt that the Lord had forgotten
them. AS to the correctness of this be-
lief We cannot say, but the events of last
Sunday evening show that if the Lord
has gone back on them, Saints Angus
Cannon and Joseph E. Taylor are still
with them.
The incident in question occurred in
the meeting house of the ward mentioned,
and is given below as related by an eye
witness.
The gentleman who tells the story says
that he had gone to that meeting expect
ing to hear good sermon, but when he
got seated and found out that the congre-
cation was to be addressed by disbarred-
barrister Miner, he lost all hope and
settled down to good Sabbath nap.
After the talking had been going on for
something less than an infinite period of
time, the gentleman noticed a closeness
seldom experienced even in a meeting
house. 1t was almost sitting, but as he
noticed that all the other Saints were still
alive, the narrator concluded that it was
the effect OF the speaking, and was about
to concede to himself that he was unduly
prejudiced against bad oratory, when he
noticed that the blinds were down over
all the windows and that the door was
guarded by deacon.
A moment later the door opened and
two forms stole stealthily up the aisle.
Brother Miner concluded that he had
spouted long enough and stated that the
rest OF the evening would be devoted to
business. The two persons who had en-
tered were none other than the angelic
Cannon and the desirable and
(thank heaven) less frequent Joseph Z.
Taylor.
Before Aurelius Miner was fairly seated
the shadowy Angus had glanced around
the room to see that none of Gods pure
air was allowed to enter, sent reinforce
ment of deacons to the door, lodged two |
or three rays of light which threatened to
strike him and was standing once more |
before a congregation OF the Saints. He |
began in 4 low tone to speak OF the many
changes which had occurred in the |
church lately, and finally, waxing louder,
ne suddenly became afraid of his own
voice and dropped pale and haggard into
seat. In a second Joseph E. was in the
stand, and, as he proposed the name of
George II. Taylor for bishop and counted
he uplifted hands with his eyes shut,
Anguish" plastered down the new
bishops hair with castor oil and, mutter-
ng few words by way of blessing, the
'air departed. At the close of the meet
ng couple of good hats and two new
nix umbrellas were missing, but as the
I'D ones left behind wore an apostolic air,
20 one was the kicker.
All the blinds, except those over the
yes of the Saints, were pulled up, the
If was purified and the Fourteenth
Iarders now rejoice i'll a brand new
ishop.
