SEAS OF FLAME.

Destructive Prairie Fires in Western Kan
sas and Oklahoma-Hundreds of Farm
ers Have Lost All Their Hay, Grain and
Pasture and Some Their Homes.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 31.-Lawyer
Witland Boone, who yesterday arrived
from the western part of Kansas, re-
ports terrible prairie fires in Geary and
Ford counties. For miles the Santa
Fe train, on which he was passenger,
travelled at it's utmost speed through a
sea of flame, with every window and
ventilator down. From the train
could be seen burning farm buildings
and stacks of grain AMI hay. and peo-
pie and stock fleeing before the flames.
Mr. Boone says there must have been
a number of human lives and many
head of stock lost in the vicinity of
Beaumont, Butler county. Thousands
of acres of grazing land were burned
over Thursday night. Fences were de-
stroyed and stock was burned or scat
tered in all directions.
Inquiry at the local Santa Fe Office
failed to gain any information, al
though it was said there it was possible
for such state of affairs to exist and
the local officeknQw nothing of it.
Near Argonia, Mrs. C. Twining was
burned up in her house. This fire sur
rounded the town of Argonia, and it
took hard work to save the buildings
on the outskirts.
telegram from Guthrie, o. T., re-
ceived late last night, says prairie fires
have swept over the entire Pottawat-
tonne reservation and the adjoining
countries doing thousands of dollars
damage. Hundreds of farmers have
lost all their hay, grain and pasture,
while score or more have their homes
destroyed. Many new settlers were
caught on the road and their wagons
loaded with household goods were
burned. No live were lost. but large
amount of live stock perished.

part OF the Mormon people to vote for or
against any man or measure, except as they
are convinced through argument or persua-
sion to vote that way. Neither is there any
penalty for voting otherwise. The Tribune
boosted not long ago that fully three hun
dred young Mormons voted the Liberal
ticket. Moreover, it has been repeatedly
declared by Mormon church leaders that
their church is not an Emporium in imperio.
The organ argues still further, that
before Mormon should become a citizen:
1t is but fair for him to prove his devotion to
this country by his residen sc under the flag,
and then make a formal declaration of fealty
before court of record.
AS if any one on earth ever objected to
that! That is precisely what Mormon ap
pllcants have done; but that is not the dis
francniser's real contention at all. He
holds that it is impossible for a Mormon to
prove mis- fealty, no matter what his acts
and intentions are. He declares that the
Mormon creed prevents the latter. from
becoming good citizen He says no
matter how strict and loyal a life
Mormon should live. 10 matter what
his professions of fealty might be, no
matter if he should beny believing the very
say, or think, would qualify Nor
doctrine that the disfanchiser alleges dis
qualities him, nothing he could ever do,
mon for citizenship. Listen to the maniac:
1t is simply a matter of fealty and not a
matter of the belief of the Mormons s.
To every true Mormon heart the comma nd of
the president of his creed is more binding upon
him than is command or any authority of the
United States.
This really means, dispute all protesta-
tons to the contrary, that the Mormons
cannot possibly qualify themselves for
citizenship.
This argument thata Mormon is neces-
sarily disqualified for citizenship, irrespec-
tive of his acts and thoughts, because his
bitterest enemy alleges that his heart is
bound, etc., simply passes into sheer fanati-
cism of "a kind that it was thought the
thinking portion of mankind had outgrown
centuries ago.
The last part of our contemporaries reply
denies that there is Acknowledgement
lobby at Washington, but declares that
there ought to be-" That is admission
enough for one time.

THE BANNOCKS.

Somebody is trying to fetch the Indian
war west and involve the Fort Hall Ban
nocks. There were sensational kilograms
and more sensational rumors floating about
yesterday, some of them saying Pocatello
had been burned by the redskins and the
inhabitants massacred. 1t is possible that
the Bannocks have been excited and driven
to the warpath. 1t may be that the same
ugly influence which has been operating to
the injury of the Sioux has been at work
among our northern neighbors; but we
don't believe it. The Bannocks are bright
Indians, who reason much better than
do some other members of their race. They
are good fighters, it is true, fact which
they have demonstrated on more than one
occasion. A few years ago they made this
fact very apparent. They were whipped.
however, and compelled to go upon reser-
walton. Since then they have been peace
ful; not only this, but they have been we'll
disposed, and not a few of them have &C
cepted and adopted certain of the ways of
civilization and are living like white
folks" cultivating the soil, dwelling in per-
manent homes, raising stock and gathering
about themselves more or less property.
Iher children, also, are attendants at
school, and many of them show an aptitude
to learn and are appreciative of educa-
ton. The Bannocls, for the past ten
years or longer, have associated much with
the whites and established especially
friendly relations with the villagers and
ranchmen within a radious of fifty or
seventy five miles of the reservation.
1t seems improbable that under any cir
cumstances likely to arise these people

THE BOISE SENSATION.

1t is very amusing, the story which comes
from Boise City concerning the legislature.
It's said there is clause in the constitu-
ton which makes it crime for membe
OF the legislature to trade votes. This is
not the exact reading, but it is the sense of
the matter. 1t is believed that there was a
swapping of votes in the senatorial cleo
tons of SHoUP, MCCONNELL and DUBOIS.
and the statement is made that warrants
are to be issued for the arrest of the
Traders who are to be prosecuted.
We say this is very amusing. We pre-
sumo there is aot an intelligent man
in all Idaho who does not know,
as well as he knows there is
such a country as Timbuctoo, that all the
gentlemen named above were chosen as a
result of combinations and trades; that
bargains were regularly entered into by
which would vote for Mcconnell if B
would vote for DUBOIS. Such combinations
were absolutely necessary to the election of
either of the gentleman named. Neither
could have been chosen except through bar
gains by which they were to utilize each
others forces in a combination against can
didates really more popular than either and
better men in fact. Of course SHoUP did
not have to swap votes with anybody, for
everybody understood that he was entitled
to Senatorship by reason of his services for
Idaho and for his party, and by reason alsu
Of his expenditures. He had both earned
and paid for the Senatorship and all con-
ceded him the place. 1t was different with
the other gentlemen, and they had to com
bine to save themselves.
But the amusing part of the business is
this talk about prosecuting the Lawmakers.
as if a conviction were possible even if
there were proof of the trading. The sug-
gestion must cause the legislators to smile.
II it does not induce them to put their
thumbs to their noses and twirl their
fingers at the fellows who are verdant
enough to think the clause in the constitu-
ton can be made to mean anything in a
case Of this kind.
The HERALD thinks mighty little of FRED
DUBOIS and not much of w. J. MCCONNELL.
neither of whom it regards as in any sense
creditable representative of the new
state; but if nothing worse can be brought
against the gentlemen than that they did
what is done in every legislature in the
republic and in Congress itself, namely,
that they bargained with each other to ex.
change the votes of their respective sup
porters, we shall think their titles tc

DISFRANCHISEMENT.

Our downtown friend protests that

seeking to manifest that love by injuring
his fellow citizens. This astonishing char
acteristic, however. has belonged to every
bigot since history began.
The organ denies that it assumes to in
terpret the creed of the church, and then
follows that with this Interpretation of
the creed of theseschurch members:
The theory of the institution is that it is the
government OF GOD on earth, the only legal gov
eminent.
What, then, is the meaning of the Nor
mon article of faith, 1--WE believe in being
subject TO kings, rulers and magistrates,
and in obeying, honoring and sustaining

contains; the above extract is the interpre.
tation of the creed by man who urges
that the Mormon creed teaches disloyality.
AS between the creed itself and an inter
probation of it by hostile fanatic, invented
to suit a selfish purpose. we are content to
take the plain meaning of the words of the
creed. The organ then says definitely
what it would have these church people do
in order to escape disfranchisement. The
president of the church should say that:
Henceforth while priests might exercise their
privileges as American citizens and might give
their advice to their people as Americans, there
was no obligation ION the bart of the people to
obey that advice except when through it their
Judgment might be convinced.
And is that all! Why, that is the case
already. There is no obligation OF the

lions of scoundrels who regret that they
are not true.

rule should hold good where the point of
the joke strikes ones self:
My brother Tom and are much alike in

Ready Made Walking Skirts

Several leading dry goods houses in
the city make speciality of the sale of
simple and stylish ready made walking
skirts, the bodices of which can be
quickly made Of like fabrics of a plain
contrasting material, or be worn with
one of the new prettily shaped and
trimmed French jerseys. These skirts
are really great convenience, as most
women are in haste some time or other
for quiet utility dress suitable for walk
ing or shopping uses. Plenty of time is
given to gowns for great occasions, bat
every day, ordinary dressing is too often
done without time or forethought.
This is the reason why we so frequent
ly see such lamentable figures on the
street, particularly in the morning
hours, the same people turning out per-
fectly appointed and beautifully gowned
later on in the day, in the park, at the
art galleries or for afternoon calling.
This is not desirable.
The sight is a species of disillusion-
ment unfavorable to women in general,
and prejudicial to individual members
of such hasty class. There is some
thing of the old curl paper idea about it
which is not pleasing. Ergo. blessings
on the originator of the ever ready dress
skirts that are now exhibited. They are
simple, stylish, neat and Inexpensive
