were dressed In the picturesque cos
tunes Of two and Q half centuries
ago, which are quite different from
those OF today, and II We may add
quite 90 outlandlsh, sometimes.
Rev. J. E. Fioren had the affair In
charge, and acquitted himself with
credit In his oneIous position.
About noon the ceremonies opened
with music by the Salemsborg band.
Then prayer by Rev. VIM. Foulkes,
and an address by DR.. Bishop. The
DR.. II not much Of . Swede himself,
but he has the reputation Of know
ing . good thing shen he sees Il, and
he appreciates che Swede
for his true worth. His address was
one Of welcome, principally, full Of
profound thought, and cunning Wit. |
He discoursed upon the high chsrsc-

and paid 9 glowing tribute to his
achievements In both war and peace.
Rev. Seleen, Of Florence, addressed

being Q Swede himself,
but admitted that he descended

was proud Of the fact, and we don't
blame him either. Rev. Maggsrt
,losed the exercises with q short and
very happy effort.
In the evening . musical enter

IAN Americas Prophet"


Noble L. PrentIs gives the jour-
NAL readers an excellent account Of
the dolngs Of Joseph Smith, the
great prophet OF Mormonism, this
week, which will be read with in
terest by all. An old gentleman
whs lived In Salina . year or DO ago,
and who died ut the Soldiers home
at Leavenworth, last winter, used to
tell good story on this same proph-
ct, while In Ohio. The Mormons
had been holding meetings In the
woods near . large mill pond, and
a. prsof Of the divinity Of Smith,
he performed the extraordinary feat
Of apparently walking on the water
Of the pond. This Illusion was accom-
plished by means OF . narrow foot
bridge built surreptitlously across
the pond, about six inches below
the surface OF the water. There
CHANGED to be In that vicinity Q
band Of harum-scarum, irreverent
boys, who took little stock In Jo-
seph's aquatic perambulstions; and
30, while swimming In the pond, one
evening. they made . through in
vestigation, which resulted In the
discovery Of the little foot bridge.
A plank was removed from it, and
the bsys were all on hand the fol-
lowing Sunday when there was to
be more walking on the water"
The prophet started out all right,
but when he got to the middle, like
st. Peter, he must have lost faith o
little, for he suddenly plunged
downward into the darksome depths
Of the pond, and was compelled to
swim ashore. There was no more
walking on the water In that pond,
and somehow the interest In the
meetings tagged after that.
