LIKE AN ABRACADABRA.
The Letter E on Oat Leaves Said to
Mean Blood.

Mean Blood.
Notwithstanding the boosted enlight-
ment and higher education, scientific
and otherwise, of these closing wears
of the nineteenth century, there is still,
it would appear, vast amount of su-
perstition abroad. Somebody in In
diana made the startling discovery that
q peculiar mark appeared on the leaves
of the growing oats; in fact that the
letter b, an italic capital 3. was
stamped on the leaves of the grain, and
that the same phenomenon appeared
previous to the years of 1872 and 1860.
The mysterious letter, it is stated,
means blood and foreshadows a great
war, and the gratifica ton of Governor
Yates longing for blood to flow till it
reaches the horses brides.
The same mysterious mark has been
found on oats growing in this region.
A bunch was brought into town yes
terday from an cat field near Liberty
park. and some from the neighborhood
OF Taylorsville, which was examined
with considerable interest and was
found to have the outlines of the letter
Is delineated on the leaves in most
cases quite distinctly. 1t is an open
question whether the marking is char
acteristic of the grain every season or
whether it is peculiar to this years
growth. 1t is also an open question
now many other letters of the alphabet
can be seen delineated on other leaves
found in the vegetable kingdom

Quiet Strikers Who viii Command
Resnerf.

Rawlins, Wy, July 6.-[Speciall j
Two passenger and mail trains passed
west at $50 this morning. with regular
engineers and non-union firemen.
Three deputy marshals were in the
cab of each locomotive AS the trains
pulled out, about twenty deputy marsh
ais from Cheyenne and Laramie step
ped off here. This makes the force of
marshals here about sixty.
They put in their time principally in
sleeping as there is nothing for them to
do.
The city has a special police force
who guard the yards and railroad prop
erty.
The strikers offer no resistance TO the
running of trains, and keep severely
away from the yards.
Fruits and green vegetables are en-
tirely out. Butter, eggs and numerous
other edibles are getting scarce. No
trains are expected tonight.
The strikers are peaceable and order
ly.
1t is reported here that engine 1914,

upon the rights of civil authority
which, in return, should respect the
rights of the church and beware of
usurping any part of them.
And now what tendency do we see
by many of the churches? Suspected,
disdained, hated, accused and what is
worse, no efforts are spared to bring it
under the yoke of the civil authority.
Its property is confiscated and it's
liberties narrowed; its education of as
pirants to the priesthood is hampered;
religious societies are dissolved or for
hidden.
1.-The state has it's own right and du-
ties. The church has hers. Between
them should be bonds of strictest con-
cord. So surely would be suppressed
the unrest visible in the relations of
church and state.

holds in His power, grant our prayer

there shall be one fold and one shep-
herd -

O'BRIEN HAMMERED.
A Brutal Battle ut Boston Yes
terday.

Boston, July 6.-The battle between
Dick O'Brien of Lewiston, Me-, and Joe
Walcott, of this city tonight was a ter
rible one.
O'Bren was literally hammered to
the floor in the twelfth round, and from
sheer exhaustion, but pct from an
actual Knockout, he was unable to re-
gain his feet within the time limit.
For nine rounds the advantage inclin-
ed first to OBrien then to Walcott, and
was OF a cyclone order. From the ninth
to the eleventh rounds, O'Brien fought
gamely responding, gradually grew
weaker, though at times he set the pace
and punched Walcott numerically.
The twelfth round told the story,
when, after receiving two blows on the
jaw and neck, OBrien feebly attempted
return but fell exhausted to the
floor
Ten seconds elapsed but he did not
arise and the referee gave Walcott the
decision

Denver, July Gas a result of last
nights meeting of the American Rail

Rio Grande road, a comparatively small
number of men struck this morning. The
strike is by no means general, although
it may become so, and the road is appar-

usual today. The continuance of traffic
is insured by the action of the engineers,
who requested to be sworn in as deputy

was granted.
