MORMONS OF KIRTIAND.
Town Was the Headquarters Of
the Latter-Day Saints.

| \ plan tnat has recently been troached
| for the erection by the State of Utah oi
| marble effigy OF Brigham Young in the
| hall of statuary of the National Capitol
| has set many old-tmers to talking about
| the MoruonS OF other days and the early
! struggles and Iicissitudes OF the Church
| OF the Latter Day Saints.
| One Of the most Interesting of the early
| developments OF the Mormon faith was
| the settlement Of Kirkland, Ohio, and the
| establishment of Mormon headquarters
| there. Kirkland is about twent y-three miles
nearly dac east from Cleveland, and About
| seven niles south of tie shore of Lake
Erie. 1t was in 1881 that the founders
OF the tup:letn Ziou swonpeI down upoa
Kirtlahd Flats and began the work OF
establishing what they fondiy hoped woultl
become at once a great commercial me
tropolis and a sort OF sacred city.
Tney arrived in all soIts uf ways. Oh
foot on horseback, in Conestoga wagons
and OK carts. Never before had such a
crowd OF human beings been seen in Ohio.
as was the restless. nervous throng which
gathered at Kirtiand. Tents, rude shan
ties and even the carts and wagons hy
which they people arrived. were used for
shelters, until more comfortable places of
residence could be provided. Provisions
were scarce apd'high Cheap houses were
put up with great rap;dity. EVERYWHERE
the rasping Of the saw and the rat-tat-Iat
OF the hammer We're heard
Joseph Suiiih, he founder OF the Mormon
Church. and Sidney Rigdon, . really able
and briliiant young man, who had TIA ken up
with the new faith, and had been spread
ingS its dCCtTiues almost as assiduousy
as the prophet himself, were the leading
spirits. RigCon was the better speaker
OF the two, and il was his eloqucnce that
kept up the spirits of the settlers in large
inca sure. They soon began to be discour-
aged because of the scarcity of money, and
1t was because OF this that the formation
Of bank was decided upon.
This financalinstitution was called The
Kirkland Saving Society," Rigdon was
made president, Smith cashier; the faith
ful were InyitGI to deposit, and the invita-
tion was accepted generally Paper money
was then issued in profusiun ana for a
while money was plentiful. \ temple
was built and then a mill and then
store. kiFtlan0 grew rapidly and was
spoken Of as likely soon TO hecome great
city. AT tnat time Cleveland was not
much, and no one would have thought of
predicting that il would ever equal Kirt
land.
But kirtland fell The religious mania
that had been spread over the country and
which gave birth TO still another sect as
well as the MOrmons, died down. The
paper money Of the kmtland bank depre-
ciated. In Il s38 Rigdon and Smith cleared

after the death OF Smith that Brigham

STRAY SCRAPS OF GOSSIP

During his recent visit TO the King OF
Denmark. the car several times went un-
attended for ride on his wheel in the
royal forests. On one of these occasions he
lost hIs way and, meeting a wheeimau in
the woods, asked i'll Danish TO be directed.
The answer was given in Russian instead of
in Danish. I nsurprise. the czar asked:
How does it happen that you speak
Russian?' Because. sire" the man replied.
II am one of the Russian detectives
charged with the duty OF guarding your
majesty's person" he, with other de-
tectives, had been wheeling about the
roads, keeping close watch upon their
ruler, while the czar was enjoying the
pleasant and novel sense of being unat-
tended.

opportunities fewer. We realize our pres
ent condition and have thoroughly inves-
tgated the situation, history and present
resources of the mild South Seas We
further realize that they contain vast al
though, unknown wealth, and that the
resources Of the islands, great as they are,
are also capable OF being largely increased.
THE first thing that has to be done in
preparing for action in an undertaking
of this sort is To secure capital To this
end | have formed a corporation, whose
capital stock is divided into 400 shares
This company is capitalized for 500, 600
and therefore each share is worth 500.
This stock has already gone up SO share
over and above par value. The stock
holders at present number 76, although
our membership is fully 100. We believe
we can do better for ourselves by taking
chances in enigrating to the South Sea
Islands than if we stayed here and
worked all our lives for what We ate and
wore.
I'VE are thoroughly familiar with the
country to which We are going-that is,
as ia miliar as persons can be who study
all they can learn of what they have never
seen. So we have no fear, although we
know we are going to meet countless
dangers. There We'll be no women among
US at first, and therefore every member
of our expedition viii be fully capable
of performing manual labor and enduring
exceeding hardships. The ages of the
membeTsOfOurp " range gefrOmtwenty-one
to sixty-three years-an able bodied, honest
and Diet termined, all familiar with the
trades aud arts of civilization.
I'VE have learned there are 500 of the
South Sea Islands, divided into groups and
named Out of these many groups we have
chosen the most dangerous, the SalomonA
This group consists of about SEQ islands.
The largest of these is San CristObal, being
atout one-thrd the size OF California. The
smallest island contains about eight square
miles These islands are very heavily
