Mrs. Gilmore has been visiting with
her parents at Omaha for some time
and last Sunday r.Gilmore receiv-
ed a dispatch stating that there were
two little twin girls in that city who
wanted to see their papa. In his
usually sincere way he told n friend
that a dispatch from Omaha an
nounced that he had gotten himself
into trouble down there and he
asked the friend il he could not
help him out. The friend said he
would do anything he could for
him, %whereupon the dispatch was
handed over and Il good laugh was
INDUCED in. On Monday morning
the train is said to have oyertaken the
happy man down towards Jefferson

as soon as possible; But 10! and
behold! there were no twins! Only
n little girl-but his people had
paid off an old joke they owed him.

Editor of Union County Courier:
Twenty-tour years ago, in the.
City Of Omaha, we saw a man about
as mad as a poor mortal was ever
known to be. The trouble was this:
He came from Utah. where lie had
been a faithful Mormon and a farm
er. When they building the
union Pacific Railroad west from
that territory, on account Of the
unusual demand for -four in Utah
as we'll as IN California, the price Of
wheat went up to $500 per busllel
at Sale Lake City. Then Brigham
Young preached to the faithful,
advising them to hold to their wheat
as the time was soon at hand when
a bushel Of wheat would bring n
''bushel of silver" All this time
Mr.. Young vas selling wheat as fast
as it could be transported to the
different camps; our farmer friend
in the Notwithstanding the
prophet-held en- to his wheat, as
did many other Mormons, when,
about the time Brigham Young had
sold all he had, the price went down
to 81 90 per bushel, when our friend
sold, swore, tore, severd his connec-
tons with Brigham and his church;
wendell his way east never losing
an opportunity to d%enounce Brig
ham Is a fraud and himself as a
fool for following interested advice.
When this trick was played in Utal,
we lost no sleep on account OF it.
but last fall we had a circular from
high Alliance authority advising
lis to hold on to our wheat Git being
then worth so cents per bushe) and
that $50 would be the value OF a
bushel Of wheat before spring. TAX.
ing everything coming from Alliance
headquarters as gospel truth, we
naturally refused to sell at so cents;
now we would get 70 to y cents, in
place of a $3.50, if we could gel
through the mud. We had no sub
treasury to draw from, and no well
healed friends to 60 to for funds nee
essary to tide us over but had TO re
