OLD FOLKS FESTIVAL.
One Mormon Custom That Should Be
Universally Adopted.

Universally Adopted.
It appears that the Mormons are fairly
entitled to the credit of at least one
beautiful custom, a practice so praise
worthy that it has been adopted through
out Utah, by the Gentiles as we'll by
the Saints. While churches and social
orders throughout other sections of
the country have inaugurated day
specially devoted to the children, and
have studied to surround it with the
associations of music and flowers and
pleasing exercises, the people of Utah
have turned their thought to the claims
OF the aged upon their consideration.
Their annual old folks festival was
held recently, and the reports indicate
that it was observed with more than
the usual thoughtfulness and care. The
old people on these occasions are made
the special guests of the younger gen.
GRAFTON. Every one over seventy is in
some way or other specially remem-
bered. For those who are able to 90,
excursions and entertainments are
planned, and the feeble are remem-
bered in some pleasant way at their
homes. Such custom may we'll spread
over the country. It is we'll that the
children should have their day, but
it is also fitting that the aged should
not be forgotten. At the best their joys
are not so abundant that any means of
giving them pleasure should be thought
lessly overlooked. Among the ancients,
the aged were held in high esteem and
treated with marked consideration. In
our own time, we are somewhat too apt
to satisfy our conscience by repeating
didactic precepts which we do not wholly
feel. We tender to the aged somewhat
too formal courtesy, and we are content,
be, if they have warmth and food, and q
place in the chimney corner. In the
hurry and hustle of active life they are
too often made to feel that they no
longer have part in the activities and
enjoyments of life. Perhaps in many
cases it is partly their own fault. Per-
daps they have not remained so young
as they might in their sympathies with
with the active present. Perhaps they
what distrustful and somewhat given
to complaining. But it may be, too, that
they would not 80 readily have made
these mistakes If they had not been
made to feel that they were getting te
be in the way, if they had been thought
lessly overlooked again and again in
plans, pursuits End pleasures of those
who are hurrying on after them. Az
old folks day would be good, not only
for them, but for tho younger genera,
ton. It's influence would spread out
over many another day of the too swift
II passing years, and the effect upon the
young would be felt in more general

A GIRL of eighteen years, the daugh-
ter of sea captain, recently navigated
her fathers ship when he and. all the
crew were down with yellow fever.
The bark, a sailing vessel, boundfrom
South America to Savannah, was last
spoken at sea off Navassa, when all
hands we're reported ill with yellow fe-
yer, and no attempt was made by the
vessel which reported her to give any
assistance. The master ofthe bark had
with him on board his only daughter,
who appears to have been the last to
catch the fever. With the aid of one
or two sailors, who managed to crawl
on deck, she n~avigated the vessel for
several hundred miles, and succeeded
IN reaching port with the crew dead
and dying and the captain in critical

boiler explosion occurred four miles

engineer, Ed Thompson, was hurled q

in two places. and he was badly hurt
about the head. Albert Thompson,
feeder. was standing at the machine and
q fragment of the boiler tore off his
right arm. Ed Swartout, foreman, was
badly scalded, though not fatally. At
the time of the explosion the machine
was idle. and some of the Grew were
collected about the engine, and it is a
miracle that more were not injured.
The engineer is still alive but the
chances Of recovery are small. No
cause can te assigned for the explosion,
but it is thought that the water was

Lehmsn to be Executed Today In Carter
County, 8. ID.
CUSTER. s. d. Nov. 3.-The sheriff of
Custer county has completed the con-
htruction of the building in the Jail yard
in which Lehman is to hang on Novem-
Der 4. The general opinion here seems
to be that the death sentence will not be
committed to life imprisonment, al
though his attorneys have applied to
the governor and board of pardons for
it. Lehman appears very unconcerned
for a man who is to be swung into
eternity so soon. He is confined in q
steel cage. out of which he has not
been since the sentence of the court
was passed upon him on the nineteenth
of September. He has no relatives in
this part of the country and has never
divulgel any information as to where
any Of them live. He will say nothing
whatever about the shooting of Com
table Burns which was about as. cold
blooded and deliberate q murder as was
ever committed anywhere.

Persons from Oliver County tell Of the
severe experience farmers and ranch
men had with the recent prairie fire.
More damage was done than at first
supposed. Several thousand tons of
hsy was lost and large ranges burned,
and it is estimated that ct least twenty
settlers had their houses and stables
burned. Mrs. John Day came neal
losing her life in attempting to save 400
sheep. Her husband and farm hands
were away and the sheep in the corral.
The corral took fire, and not until her
hat was burned from her head, her
hands badly burned and clothing almost
all burned, did she give up the attempt
to save the sheep. and the entire flock
were cremated. Settlers named Nelson,

Dakota Tin Mines.

CINCINNATI, o.. Nov. lie. 81.
Wells, who has returned from an inves-
tigation of tin mines in the Black Hills
of Dakota, says: II saw large quanti-
ties of tin ore, evidences of vast expen
ditures of money, numerous mills with
costly machinery, long tunnels bored
through solid rock and hundreds of
men employed. Engineer Wiistee
stated to me that over $5,0 900. 900 had
already been expended by the Harvey
Peak Tin company, which owns most of
the valuable claims near Hill City.

American tin will, it is said, be smelted
at Harney's Peak.
When asked how soou this Black
Hills tin could be mined in sufficient
quantities to satisfy the home demand,
Mr.. Ohilds replied:
within five years. You see we don't
want to commence reducing the ore
until our shafts and tunnels are all run.
ming and things are in proper shape.
We might have commenced smelling a
great while ago, but the quantity OF ore
would not have been sufficient to keep
the COMMENTATORS working: When I do
start to taking out ore I propose to keep
that 25O.ton mill hustling. People on
the outside, however. cannot under
stand why there is 80 long q delay in
producing the tin. They do not realize
how hard the rock is through which We
have to blast, nor the time it takes. In
Cornwall the shafts have gone down
over 2. 500 feet, while ours are not yet
down 300."

You can find Bessemer, Ala, only in

which the town OF 10000 inhabit-

discovery of all the materials-coal,
ore and lime-necessary to the estab-

the town counts over 900. coke ovens
and numerous mighty rolling mills,
which are in full swing day and night.
