Dear Editor:
1t is now l9 months since I left
New Harmony, Washington Co.,
to respond to fill a mission in the
Swiss and German part of Europe.
! left Salt Lake City November
Bird, 1894, in company with two
otner missionaries, and had a
pleasant trip, all but few days on
board OF the ship. Arrived in Bern
the Oath of November, all safe and
we'll, with the exception of being
tired of the journey, and where I
met President George G. Maggie
and wife, which gave me great ioy
to meet them, as they were old
aquaintances, as l knew them for
19 years. [ visited my relations
and spent four weeks then went to
labor under the direction of Arch
lie A. Ramseyer, r. Gigy and VIM.
Luthy, in the Jura Bernoi Confer
ence, and there to learn the Ger
man and French Languages, as
both languages are necessary in
this part of the country. The
people are one half French, the
other German. We find the cities
IN this country containing from
five hundred to thirty thousand in
habitants. In this conference,
which is the largest conference in
Switzerland, we have some over a
hundred members. The houses

From the preparations now made
1T is believed that the grand parade

two hours time in passing a given
point. 1t will be the grandest, the
greatest and the most beneficial
demonstration ever witnessed in
the West. 1t will be viewed bv
thousands of people-home and
foreign. Efforts are now being
made to attract to this city during
the carnival week the many excur.
sion parties that at this season of
OF the year invade the West from
the East, and to all mankind will
be extended Utah invitation to
come to this chosen spot and par
take OF the pleasures and delights
that will be dispensed in honor of
Utah's admission into the Union.
Hon, Frank j. Cannon, Utah's
youngest Senator, will deliver the
Grafton on independence Day; an
army of musicians will discourse
patriotic music; the multitude, led
by vocalists of renown, will sing
the songs that the sentiments of

men on to deeds SO heroic that
they will never be effaced from
the minds of the students of, his
tory; Salt Lakes thousands of
bright and beautiful school child
rem will indulge in a Floral Festi-
val; the Tabernacle choir will give
a grand concert; the Queens ball
will eclipse all past Terpsichorean
exercises; the National Guard of
Utah will parade and drill; the
Fort Douglas boys in blue will
participate; there will be exciting
bicycle races; horse races on their
merit; an athletic exhibition in
which will be introduced the cream
OF Utah athletes; there will be a
carnival of fun, such as can only
be excelled in New Orleans, and
the grandest display Of fireworks
the West has ever witnessed.
There will be many other fea-
lures, new and important ones be-
ing added almost daily.

Salt Lakes Midsummer Carnival
CAr+ T AR Cr-,, NJ. r.

Salt Lakes Midsummer Carnival
Salt LAKE CRY, May 80, 1896
With the murder mystery of the
decade and the great Midsummer
Carnival on it's hands, Salt Lake is
at present, very much agitated
city. The manifesto is no longer
discussed, and because of them
peace again reigns in the camps oil
the Church and State disputants
And while the authorities and
newspapers are busy in attempting
to solve the gruesome mysteries Of
the Scandinavian church horror
and to locate the perpetrator, Rev
Francis Hermans, our business
men are giving their time and at
tention to preparing for what can
now be confidently set down as the
greatest celebration the West has
ever witnessed. It is expected
that fully 10000 strangers will seek
the Wales of Zion for the purpose
Of participating in the Carnival as
spectators, and the task of caring
for and accommodating them will
be aherculean one. But Salt Lake
will be equal to the occasion. Her
hotels are large and well equipped
and we'll managed, and there are
half a hundred rooming houses
where all that the hotels cannot
accommodate can find quarters.
Salt Lake has, of late years, be-
come a restaurant city, and there
are now sufficient eating establish
ments to provide for all who may
come.
The railroads have made liberal
concessions in rates, and from
Montana common points the fare,
will be $500 and in Colorado,
from Denver, Colorado Springs
and Pueblo, $4,000; from all other
points in the Centennial State one
fare for round trip. In Utah the
rates have been constructed on a
basis of from II to Il cents per
mile.
AS work progresses on the floats
some idea of how beautiful they
will be when completed can be OBJ
tanned. Master Mechanic Frank
Pollard is in charge. He has a
national reputation as a float
builder and as scenic artist and
decorator, and for an adviser
he has Will Clawson, local artist
of repute, who gained his expert
ence with the palette and brush in
the salons of Paris. In this de-
partment, and the only one, is
economy not practiced. Every
thing needed to make the floats
dreams of beauty and worthy of
the grand subjects they are to rep
resent is supplied. The specta-
cular effects will rival the scenes
in Kiralfy and Henderson stage
productions and the costumes will
be as elaborate as money can buy.
There will be at least twenty
five floats in line. Each will be
hauled by twenty or more gaily ca
parisoned horses driven by uni
formed Jehus and occupied by

house conversing, giving out tracks
and bearing our testimony of the
restoration of the ever true gospel
OF Jesus and proclaim the glad
message of peace and JOY received
from High heavens by the grace
and power Of God, whereby men
may be able to again regain the
presence of God from whence we
came. But, alb! how little it is re-
allied by this fallen generation; by
those blind leaders of priest-craft.
We find Is to 20 different sects
In a city of 10000 inhabitants.
This people is in general an in
telllgent people, Industrious, are at
work early and late. Watch fact
orles and manufacturing is the prin-
clpal business here. This country
Is thickly populated. The main
product for the farmers is milk
which they sell to the city custo-
mers. Here there is no difference
made in men or women, both labor
in the fields. Women work ont
doors like men, one can see wo-
men in the fields all day hoeing.
or hasylng or what ever happens on
the farm and one can see women
working on public roads with
shovels and hoes, also sweeping
the streets, choppinp wood for tho
public all day, etc.
L am truly thankful to nv heav-
emily Father that [ have been found
worthy to live in day and dis
pensatlon OF the restoration of the
everlasting gospel. 1 can say I
have never felt better in spirit in
my life. | would say to all nv
young friends and brethren to
round up your shoulders, honor the
PRIESTHOOD that is entrusted to you,
and magnify your duties that
you are called to perform, and if
an office is entrusted to you, take
right hold and do your best to
fill it, even if you are called to fill a
mission. 1t is one Of the greatest
privileges and blessings that a
young man can obtain; but also is
one OF the greatest in responsibility
that God has entrusted to his SER
wants.
| would advise all young and
old, In particular heads of families
to make it a rule every night at
least, to gather his family around
the table and read chapter out of
the Holy Bible, and explain the
same to his children, and you will
thus inform yourself as we'll as the
children in the word Of God, which
is very necessary among the youth
OF Zion, and would be of great
benefit to the young and rising
generation.
We do not have so many converts
as some branches in Germany, but
we find honest souls here aud we
expect to add some to the branch
soon.
A company of emigrants and ell
ders are leaving Bern May IL, for
Zion May "a we expect to hold
our yearly conference in Cafe DIES
Alps, Lengasse Bern, where we
expect to meet many of our breth-
rem and co-labors.
May peace and prosperity ever
be with you. From your humble
servant and brother in the cause
of truth.
l remain, Gottlieb Schmutz.

NATIVES SOLD LIKE SHEEP.
Slave Traffic Said to Be Flourishing ON
the New Hebrides Islands.

SYDNEY, N. s. W., Dec. 3.-Reports
have been received from the New
Hebrides Islands, lying west of Fiji,
that the natives are being sold like
sheep for from s6 to f10 per head, ,and
that many are subjected to great
cruelties.
The New Hebrides are under joint
Anglo French control. The New He
brides Company, which has large in
terests in the islands, last year sent a
deputation to Sir T. McIlwaith, the
Colonial Treasurer of Queensland,
complaining of this joint control, and
suggesting that Sir w. McGregor, ad-
ministrator of British New Guinea,
should also have jurisdiction over the
New Hebrides. Sir T. McIlwaith said
in reply that the only solution lay in
the annexation of the islands by Great
Britain, or in the establishment of a
protectorate over them. There is a
British High Commissioner of the
Western Pacific who has jurisdiction
to settle disputes between British sub
jects living in these islands and others.
The Anglo French control was fixed
by a convention between Great Brit
ain and France on October "a, 1887, in
which it was agreed that the protec-
ton of persons and property in the
New Hebrides should be secured by
means of a mixed commission, COM
posed of naval officers belonging to
the English and French naval stations
in the Pacific.

T. j. GIBSON & co.
The Largest Industry of the Kind in
Central Missouri-Do Booming
Shipping Business.

Few people know what an industry
we have in T. j. Gibson & Co., the
poultry dealers.
A LEDGER reporter was shown
through the picking and packing de-
partments, on North Jefferson street,
to-day. On the ground floor in front
is the packing room where the turk
eys, geese and chickens are packed in
boxes or barrels ready for shipment.
In the rear of the building is the cool
ing room with hundreds of picked
fowls hanging up to cool. In the rear
of this is the pickers' department,
which opens out into the covered
chicken yards. The pickers' head
quarters are the busiest about the
place. Long lines of workmen, ,arrayed
