sion in Evansville, but again started
out in search of heeting health 1t was
then that he began his career as jour
nalist. He had started for California in
the winter of 1868, but stopped in Salt
Lake City and found so much that in
terested him among the Morn1ons that
he staid there and sent letters to the
Cincinnati Commercial. He also became
the editor of the Salt Lake Reporter, a
crisp little daily which had a short but
eventful existence.
Mr.. Beadle's initial experiences as an
editor were of such an exciting charac-
ter that If would not have been strange
had he given up the profession then and
there. At that time the Mormon church
was at the height of its power in Utah,
and Brigham Young ruled the territory
with an iron hand The murderous
Danites were as yet unchecked, and the
gentle who was not silent and SUBJ
missive while in Utah was in danger
every moment.
In this hotbed of fanaticisn and
prejudice Mr.. Beadle, with an intrepid
hardihood that those who knew his usu-
ally unaggressive manner can hardly
comprehend, established an anti-Mor-
mon daily and proceeded to pour the hot
shot of criticism and denunciation into
polygamy and its attendant evils. In an
article which he wrote several years
after for Harper's Monthly he described
the situation in his own terse style, as
follows:
''We published our little daily paper
in the upper story of a stone building,
with hatchway ready to be thrown
open at any moment to repel a mob. and
when the editor went out at night he
took the middle of the road and kept his
hand on his revolver "
One night the mob did come, too, and
the hatchway failed to stop the infuri-
ated Mormons. The saints hated the
man who had dared to come among
them and denounce their villainous prac-
tees, and they were bent on nothing
less than murder. That is what it al
most amounted to, for Editor Beadle was
very roughly handled. In the melee he
received a wound which caused the loss
of his left eye, besides being otherwise
injured. The office was wrecked, and
the Salt Lake Reporter suspended pub
location Indefinitely.
But Mr.. Beadle recovered and soon
after published his Life In Utah. -
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-02-02

This is the most complete and valuable
history of MOrmonism which has ever
been written. In spite of the great
provocation which the author had to say
bitter things about the saints, - he did
not, but presented his facts so calmly
and clearly that the book at once sprung
into public favor and had an immense
sale, more than 80, 900 copies having been
sold.
The next incident in Mr. Beadle life
was of 4 far pleasanter nature. It was
his marriage, on Christmas day, 1872,
to Miss Jennie Cole of Evansville, q
lady who was for years his sympathetic
helpmeet and loved companion and who
survives him, as do his three daughters
and one son, at present residents of
Washington.
In 1876 Mr. Beadle went to New
York city, where he served as financial
reporter for The Daily Graphic and
wrote for the magazines, but three years
later he returned to Indiana determined
no longer to be wandering scribe, but
to settle down among his old friends.
He bought the Rockville Tribune and
busted himself, besides doing the work
of country editor, with work on sew
eral books which he had under way. He
had already published tfThe Undevelop-
ed West" and Western Wilds and the
Men Who Redeemed Them To these
he added a History of Parke County,
Indiana and in 1882 he issued an en-
larged and revised edition of his Life
In Utah -
But he was not content to remain in
obscurlty. Although modest and re-
firing man, he liked to feel that he was
in the midst of affairs, to witness great
public events, and so, when in the prime
of life and at the period of his greatest
success in the world of letters, he went
again to New York city to join the staff
of editors and correspondents of the
American Press Association. In that ca
pacity he made an extended tour
through Canada and Nova Scotia, writ
ing letters full Of breezy description and
interesting information. In 1890 he
made i European tour, and his CORE
spondence, printed under the title "a
Hoosier Abroad, . was widely read and
greatly appreciated In later years Mr.
Beadle was stationed at Washington and
wrote entertainingly about men and af-
fairs from the national capital.

eff Candlemas day is bright and clear,
Wen have two winters in the year.
This is the expression of an old
superstition concerning the second day
of February, which is commonly called
ground hog day." but is known in the
Catholic church as Cadlemas.
According to the superstition, the
ground hog awakes from his winter
sleep today and comes out of his hole.
He surveys the armament, and if his
eyes are daZzled by the brightness of
the sun he goes back into his retreat
and for six weeks more sleeps on while
the wintry elements howl outside. If
he fails, however, to discover evidence
of the sun or it is not bright enough
to enable him to see his shadow, he de-
cideS that winter has disappeared and
he remains out TO enjoy the approach
of spring. How this tradition started
no one knows, but any good Catholic
can relate the story of Candlemas.
The following origin of Candlemas is
verified by Father Heyden of the
Chruch of the Assumption:
1.-The day has its origin in the old law
found in the twelfth book of Leviticus.
The Jewish women, after child birth,
were declared uncIean for seven days,
and for thirty-three days were forbid
den to touch anything holy or enter the
temple, and after that time they were
ordered to present themselves at the
temple and bring S an offering lamb
one year old, and if they could not af-
ford that then two turtle doves. By
this Offering they were declared cleansed
by the prayers of the priest. The bless
ed Virgin, in answer to the law of
Moses, presented herself like the other
Jewish women at the temple
forty days after the birth of
Christ for publication. This hunnil-
iation on her part has been considered
voluntary by the church, because of her
immaculate conception. In comment
grafton of her act the feast is observed
by the church on this day by the bless
ing of wax candles, which have been
brought in as offerings during the year,
in place of the once year-old lamb and
turtle doves. A procession is also formed
wherein the participants carry lighted
candles in memory of the infant Christ.
"a light to tighten the gentiles and the
glory of thy people Israel The feast
is retained in the Anglican church and
is also observed by the Lutherans."
Candlemas was celebrated at the
Church of the Assumption by the
blessing and distribution of candles and
solemn high mass at $50 this morning.
The candles which are distributed are
used in the homes in case of storms,
sickness or disaster.
Today opened cloudy and continued
so till noon. If the ground hog was
raised at his grandparents house and
needed their rhymes about early to bed,
etc, and has not since gotten into the
Bradley Martin four hundred set, he
probably got up before II today and by
this time is convinced that spring will
come early.

vile, Ind, came only after long ill
ness which for many years had threat
ened to terminate his career and which
he had more than once warded off only
after a severe struggle.
John Hanson Beadle was log cabin
product. He was born March ii, 1910,
on farm about two miles from Water
man, Wabash county, Ind. His father
was Kentuckian who had some Ger
man blood in his veins and his mother
a Marylander of English descent.
Although a settlers son, he lacked the
rugged frame and the strong constitution
which should have been his. But he had
instead a fine intellect, which he lost no
opportunity to develop. In fact, as a
boy he was reckoned as good deal of a
scholarly prodigy. He learned to read at
a remarkably early age, and by the time
he was years old, when most farmers
boys have but barely mastered their let
ters, he was among the advanced schol-
airs in the district school. Even then his
memory was considered marvellous, and
at the age of 10 he committed the entire
New Testament, besides the book of Job
and most of the Psalms. At the age of
9 he entered the Rockville high school,
and when he was IL he had fitted him
self for college and was ready to enter
the University of Michigan at Ann Ar
Dor. Ill health prevented, however, and
it was only after five years of farm labor
that he went, apparently a strong and
healthy young man, to Ann Arbor.
In the second year of his college term
he broke down again and was compelled
to give up all thoughts of being gradu-
ated. At the end of long illness he
made tour through Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa and Minnesota, paying his way by
farm labor, teaming and selling books
This heroic remedy SO fully restored his
health that he returned to college.
Soon after the breaking out of the
war he enlisted as a private in Company
A, Thirty-first Indiana volunteers. He
carried muslzet until the terrible hard
ship and exposure to which the Federal
troops were exposed while under the
grim walls of Fort Donelson untitled
him for further service, and he came
out of the hospital to wear the blue no
more.
During the next four years Mr.. Beadle
travelled, taught school and studied law
and in 1866 was admitted to the bar
For two years he practiced his profess
