Two years ago only three mission,

prevalent that all the honest seekers
after truth had been gathered out, but
fortunately Elder c. y. Lund thought
otherwise.

Sister Alma IOfstrom led the way
through, being baptized by an author
lied servant of God on March I, 1897
and she was followed by thirteen Other
members of the Army, who are today
good, faithful Latter-day Saints.
The officers OF the Army soon pro.
hibited the members from going TO
the Mormon hall. but this brought
nearly every member here, and "A

To the Editor:
A feeling of gratitude prompts me
to address, few lines to your valua-
bic paper. Last June our settlement
was thrown into state of excitement
by the appearance OF Elders Slack and
Wheeler, Of Utah. who began canvass
ing from house to house distributing
literature, etc. They received some on
position from the leading church mem
hers. but finally secured n buildint; and
held series OF meetings. which We're
largely attended. The people We're
pleased with their teachings and sim
plicity Of their doctrines but were as
tonished that 1t should low from such
n source. All admitted the fruit to be
pure and wholesome but many pro-
nounced the tree as evil. Many neg
lected Bibles Were taken from the
shelves. busted and searched for cor
roborating testimony of the strange
doctrine.
We found what we sought and now
we rejoice in "A knowledge that our
course Is approved OF the Father and

the Saints in Zion and earnestly wish
for the happiness Of our venerable

Washington. June 1.-THE attorney gen.

army commissions. applies especially to
Officers Of the regular army. He r. OF the
opinion that Il would be unfair to con
strue. the statute as affecting ofncers In

accepted these positions believing the war
with Spain would be OF brief duration.

Great Falls, June 12.-Since the es-
adjustment of parks and the improve
ment made upon the streets in this
city by h planting n growth of
trees the increase in the number of
robins and other song birds has been
very noticeable. The city police have
been very watchful in the enforcement
of the ordinance forbidding the dis
charge of firearms within the city linn
its, and the birds have become very
fearless. A curious but v-ry natural
outgrowth of this fact is that it is now
possible to grow and maintain excel
lent lawns. In the early days the grub
and the cutworm were great pests,
eating away the roots of the grass inc
destroying what would else have been
a smooth. green grass. The birds de-
vour these pests by the hundreds. n
there is nc longer any complaint on
this score. If the small boy n his

A CART.

But the Owner of II Has Mysteriously
Disappeared.
Great Falls, June 12.-Peter Gowrie,
the city marshal of Havre, has received
the following letter from Maple Creek:
"Sir: A few days back, on the 9th
ult., one of my patrols found an
abandoned cart on the prairie, to the
south of these hills, and among some
rags therein came across a couple or
letters addressed to Oscar Williams,
Havre, Choteau county. Montana 1t
would appear that this Williams was a
colored man. Can o live me n In
formation respecting him? From indi-
cations II would appear as II the cart
had been out all winter and, though
careful search was made. nothing could
be found.
GEORGE n. MOFFATT,
superintendent Commanding North
west Mounted Police"
The man. Oscar Williams, about
whom the inquiry is made, was for
merly a soldier at Fort Assinniboine.
where he received an honorable dis
charge from the service. For a time
he resided at Havre. The last time he
was seen was during last October,
when he announced his intention of
going overland to the Canadian Pa
cific and started out, driving a one
horse cart. His friends have been
wondering why they did not hear from
him but nave not felt any serious APP
prehension as to his safety, and have
AXE no steps to determine his where
abouts. 1t is probable that he was
overtaken by some fatal accident, as il
is not probable that anyone would de-
sert a cart in that country.
