Standard Oil Company against whom
Governor Hogg of Texas has issued
requisition on Governor Mitchell of Flor,
ida, on a charge of violating the Anti
Trust law. is at present in New York
City He was in Florida about two
weeks ago and says he intends to re-
turn there this month. In an interview
Mr. Flagler declared that he would be
in a position to be captured by the
Texas authorities about January 20,
when he expected to return to St. Au-
gustine, Fla. and remain for the winter
with his family.
Governor Mitchell, Mr.. Flagler said, is
lawyer, and he cannot understand why
Florida's Chief Executive should have
pursued a course different from that Of
the Governors of New York and Mis-
souri, 1t was well known to the Texas
officials that he was in Florida couple
of weeks ago, and the tardy action of
Governor Hogg, Mr.. Flagler said, in

his arrest was not very great. He de-

SUFFERING FROM DROUGHT.
Money to Relieve Nebraska's Striek-
en- EarnaArs.


WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1894.-Private
advices received in Washington from
the drought stricken section of Nebraska
state that a more cheerful feeling exists
among the sufferers than has prevailed
for several weeks past. This is due
largely, however to anticipations of re-
lief yet to come from the East and
other more fortunate parts of the coun-
try, and, if the streams of bounty that
now seems to be opening should be
closed their position would be indeed
pitiable
The Rev. j. w. Robinson, represent
ing the North Nebraska Conference Re-
lief Committee and Home Missionary
Society, has just returned to Omaha
from a trip to the Cities of Bay City,
Detroit, Boston, New York, Syracuse,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Erie, Cincinnati
and Chicago, in the course of Which he
received III supplies and money includ-
ing pledges, $1,000 to ss,G0O Local or
Civilizations which followed his visits to
these several places promise to continue
the work which is 50 necessary to the
relief of the unfortunate settelers.
The case of the residents of Boyd
county is typical of all those inhabi-
tating the afflicted territory. The coun-
try was settled in 1891. The spring of
1892 found the people breaking sod and
planting the first crop. But very little
of the soil was under cultivation and,
therefore, only enough was raised to
supply immediate needs. The year 1893
gave from third to half crop, while
the crops for 1894 were total failure
The people are in need and some are
actually suffering and unless aid is re-
ceived at once many more Will suffer.
All that is asked is enough to sustain
life through the winter Boyd county
is forty miles from railroad.

CHAPTER III.

JOHN FERRIER TALKS WITH THE PROPHET.
Three weeks had passed since Jeffer-
son Hope and his comrades had depart
ed from Salt Lake City. John Terriers
heart was sore within him when he
thought of the young mans return.
and of the impending loss of his adopt
ed child. Yet her bright and happy
face reconciled him to the arrangement
more than any argument could have
done. He had always determined.
deep down in his resolute heart, that
nothing would ever induce him to
allow his daughter to wed Mormon.
Such q marriage he regarded as no
marriage at all, but as shame and q
disgrace. Whatever he might think of
the Mormon doctrines, upon that one
point he was inflexible. He had to
seal his mouth on the subject, however,
for to express IN orthodox opinion was
. dangerous matter in those days In
Land Of the Saints.
Yes, dangerous matter-so danger

which fell from their lips mikht be

retribution upon them. The victims

rate many a strange tale of fortunes
made and fortunes lost in those wild,
halcyon days. He had been a scout,
too, and a trapper, a silver explorer
and a ranchman. Wherever stirring
adventures were to be had, jefferson
Hope had been there in search of them.
He soon became a favorite with the
farmer, who spoke eloquently of his
virtues. On such occasions Lucy was
silent, but her blushing cheek and her
bright, happy eyes showed only too
clearly that her young heart was no
longer her own. Her honest father
may not have observed these symptoms,
but they were assuredly not thrown
away upon the man who had won her
affections.
1t was summer evening when he
came galloping down the road and
pulled up at the gate. She was at the
doorway, and came down to meet him.
He threw the bride over the fence and
strobe up the pathway.
81 am off, Lucy" he said, taking her
two hands in his and gazing tenderly
down into her face: 81 won't ask you
to come with me now, but will you be
ready to come when am here again.
"And when will that be?" she asked,
blushing and laughing.
IA couple of months at the outside.

cheek against his broad breast.

tied then. The longer stay. the
harder it will be to 60. They are wait
ing for me at the canyon. Good-by,
my own darling7good-by. In two
months you shall see me-"
He tore himself from her as he spoke,
and. ainging himself upon his horse,
galloped furiously away, never even
looking round, as though afraid that
his resolution might fail him if he took
one glance at what he was leaving.
She stood at the gate, gazing after
him until he vanished from her sight.
Then she walked back into the house,
the happiest girl in all Utah.

the end of that time she shall give her

He was passing through the door.
when he turned, with flushed face and
flashing eyes. 1T were better for you,
John Ferrier." he Numbered, ''that you
and she were now lying blanched skel-
etons upon the Sierra Blanco, than
that you should put your weak wills
against the orders of the Holy Four!'
With threatening gesture of his
hand he turned from the door, and
Ferrier heard his heavy step scrunch-
ing along the shingly path.
He was still sitting with his elbows
upon his knees. considering how he
should breach the matter to his daugh-
ter, when q soft hand was laid upon
his, and looking up he saw her stand
ing beside him. One glance at her pale,
frightened face showed him that she
had heard what had passed.

Don't you scare yourself" he an

up somehow or another. You don't find

A sob and a squeeze of his hand were
her only answer.

these folk do to their darned prophet.
