massacre was the work of the red men.
These children were subsequently re-
covered from the Indians, and, on juno
%, 1858, were sent East overland in
spring wagons, escorted by soldiers.
Every possible provision was made for
their comfort and in due time they
were delivered to friends in the town
Of Carrolton, Carroll County, Ark
1t was sad day in the little county
seat. Nearly every citizen had lost
relative in the massacre, and bitter
tears were accompanied by bitter
curses on tho murderers. The children
we're all cared for and brought up by
relatives and friends living in the
neighborhood of their former homes.
Execution of John Lee.
Such a monster crime could not be
forever kept from the knowledge OF
mankind. Although for long time
the opinion prevailed that the Indians
had committed the massacre, it was
not long until the true facts in the case
were developed The Mormon Church
had ordered the destruction of the
-Fancher train, and Bishop John d.
Lee was appointed TO execute the or
der John ID. Lee, being the chief
actor in the bloody drama, was the first
one called out TO answer for the crime.
Three different trials were had in his
case, the jury each time failing to
agree. The witnesses in the case being
principally MormOns, dared not tell the
truth. for an avenging sword hung over
their heads, hence the trials were mere
farcea. The excitement produced by
these trials in the public mind was run
ming high, and a general uprising
against the Mormons was threatened

WHEAT is MOVING.
For Every Ton a Double
Eagle Is Released.
REAL CHEERING NEW:
Nearly Four Millions of Dollars Will
Have Been Put i'm Circulation
Within Six Weeks.

Grains OF golden wheat for Europe, and
in turn golden dollars for California.
Each day now the exchange is being
made. and as the tons of the former depart
from these shores so much more money is
being brought into circulation. Two
weeks age the change came in the financial
stringency. At that time it was related in
these columns that banks were loosenin2
their grip on money and the precious
metal was coming from It's hiding places.
Since then the improvement has been
steady. and the best reason therefor is
found in the fact that crops are on the
move. In the days of 40 California de-
pended upon the yellow mineral taken
from the soil. To-day it is the vegetable,
tor its wheat crop is the main standby.
The crop this year is large one, aud at
present there is unusual activity along the
water front.
The tonnage dispatched from here last
February was large. In March it began
10 fall of; in April it was smaller, while
May and June were extremely dull. In
July IL picked up little, but August is the
banner month of the year, with six more
days TO be heard from. So far this month
twenty-five ships have sailed for foreign
ports loaded with grain. OF these cargoes
the wheat is valued at S9S4, 375 and the
barley at S467. 079, a total value of S1,451,-
454. The moment vessel sails from San
Francisco the shipper goes 10 bank, de-
pOsits his receipts and insurance policies
and receives gold in exchange. Thus. dur
ing the first three weeks IN August over
81 600 600 IN coin has been placed In ciIcu-
latiOn. 1t goes TO the laborers on the
docks and TO the farmers In the interior,
while the latter turn more wheat into the
market and provide for more III ney TO come
into circulation.
But by far the best news is that con-
corning the immediate future. In and
about San Francisco there are at present
thirty-nine deep-water ships being loaded
as rapidly as possible, their holds being
stored with grain. The aggregate tonnage
of these vessels is 4.799. The carrying
power Is 90 per cent more, or about Ill. 100
tons, short, or 125, 900 tons long. Wheat Is
now bringing an average of $50 ton, so
these shins will carry away cargoes valued
at 81, 500,U00 AS fast as they set sail the
money will be released from banks so that
within two or three weeks all these gold
dollars will be in circulation again.
This showing of tonnage and consequent
grain export Is greater than It has been
for some time. Last year at this date the
tonnage of vessels chartered for grain was
Go 662, and this year, as above stated, IL is
"A, 7y9. To-day there are only twelve deep
water ships dSengaged in port, represent
ing tonnage of q, $685. whereas last year
at this time The uisengaged tonnage
amounted To 107, S44. These figures speak
trade is booming, therefore bringing money
into circulation.
This statement does not include the gen.
eral merchandise trade nor any coasting
service, only the grain-carrying vessels
bound for Europe.

an excellent practice in general. but there
are exceptions to all rules, as the Terri

learn.
II happened that in looking over the

ham Theater formerly the Cremorne) by
the music, and had been shocked by the
song ana dance and the high kicking, both
with and without tights. There in a
private box Ceur d'Alene made the ac-
quaintance of Edith" and. strange to
relate, Edith Rowe was from Logan, Utah,
and claimed to be as anxious for reforma-
ton as her surroundings indicated she
was sadly In need of II.
Pedagogue Appleby's heart was touched
and his home feeling aroused. He deter
mined TO reform Edith, and to that end 10
visit the Buckingham. He is a very vir-
tuous man. is the Utah schoolleacher, and
had never before entered such scene Of
sin. He therefore consulted a police Off
Ger, who advised him to carry little money
To the place. Appleby thereupon laid in a
supply of 100 cents OF current coin and be-
took himself to the dive. When he had
sufficiently recovered from the surprise OF
his surroundings he made inquiries for
Edith Rowe, and was led to q private box

attractive creature. The Logan man at
once started in on his mission of reforma-
ton. All went well until he asked Edith
her real name. She was overcome by her
emotion, touched bell, and on the waiter
appearing managed 10 calculate the word

demand was made upon MIN for SO 90. Hs
declared that he had only dollar of his
daddies in his pocket.
The attractive Edith declared that if her
refOrmer did not supply the SO 30 the
money would have to come out of her sin
full wages and her return to the innocent
life of Logan would be retarded. Appleby
suecumbed. He said he would go in search
of the money. AT first the Durly attend

the country Joseph as a pledge, but even
he was convinced by the candOr of the

A DEATH AT SEA.
Singular Report by the
Dunsyre's Mate.
The British ViCe-ConSul Will Inquire
as to the Taking Off OF
Norwegian Sailor.

British Vice-Consul Moore will make a
semi-officiel investiga of the death of
Nils Nilsson, a Norwegian sailor who died
August IA aboard the ship Dunsyre. which
arrived here On the 10Th. In The memoran-
DUN furnished 10 the Merchants Ex-
change and signed by the mate, John 5.
Martin, Wilson's death is attributed to
consumption.
Six of the crew who deserted the Dun
syre on her arrival. and are now at the
Sailors Home, unite in telling a different
story. They say that Nilsson, who was a
strong, active man, was taken sick about
three weeks before his death. Food would
not remain on his stomach. After a
weeks illness, the mate charged him with
l0ating. whereupOn, though he was very
weak, he turned to and said he would DO
the best he could. The mate set him to
work chipping the rust from the main
mast, Nilsson being swung in a bovine.
he ought 10 have been provided win a
"boatswain's chair" but the mate deem
ing this too comfortable. had thrown the
chairs overheard some time previously.
In lowering himself Wilson had not
enough strength, so the sailors say, to hold
the rome. He fell and struck his head
against n Delaying pin at the foot of TIT
mast and fractured his back bone. He was
tenderly cared for under direction OF Cap
tain GunS0n, but grew wea ker day by day
and died in two weeks.
Allen Mckay. a Scotch sailor, made COM
plant to Viee-Consul Moore that the mate
brutalY assaulted him, used violent and
obscene language aud threatened his life,
AS ne has deserted his ship Mr.. Moore
could not take official cognizauce of the
complaint, Charles Weissman and Charles
Nelson say Chief Officer Martin used
threatening language. The other three
men have no complaint. The matter will
be brought to the attention of j. h. Will

Captain Gunson, who has been sailing
TO this port for thirty years, bears ali ex-

As for Nilsson. the captain states that he
fell sick and that he Qhe captain) treated
him for stomach and liver complaint. In
two weeks lie reported himself as fit for
work, but the captain would not permit
him TO be put on duty at night. Nilsson
again fell sick, when the captain saw tina
he vas suffering from consumption. The
sailor was given an American boy to care
Tor his wants, was supplied with light
nutritious food and port wine, and a his
desire was placed 10 a hammock in the
