Wednesday May 17th, J. c. Houston and James Smith, two Mormon elders of Utah, who have been laboring as missionaries in New Mexico, arrived in St. Johns, being conducted from Blue water. N M, by F. c. Nelson of Ra- mah, N. NJ. They remaIRed here un- iii the following Tuesday and during their stay things were made as pleasant as possible for them. On Sunday they attended the Mormon church and spoke of their experiences, they told many things which would cause one to open his heart to them, the liardships which they passed through were very hard to endure
 Imagine young readers if you can be- ing nut in the world without purse or scrip-as these yodng elders were-and going seven days with five meals and some times not that much, going from one to two days without anything to eat. Do you not think man would have to have great confidence in God his creator to suffer so for his sake. If he did not he would not undergo such things as these young elders have and will pass through. They said that they felt to rejoice to think that they were persecut- ed for Christ's sake, and felt that they could undergo many more trials if it became necessary.
 This shows that tl.ey are what they profess to he "preachers of the true and ever lasting gospel"
 On Monday evening the night before they were to leave farewell TIT; WIS rendered 10 them in the Assembly hall and pleasant time was had.
 On Tuesday morning they were taken by NJ. H. Peterson ot this place 10 Springerville where they remain few days and then journey onward through other settlements back into their field of labor again. We were sorry to part with them, but duty called them and they felt that they should go.

SMALLPOX AMONG ZUNIS.

Miss DeSette, who has been visiting at the Indian School for few days, left last night for Indianapolis She re- ports the Zunis as entirely recovered from the effects of smallpox and busy with farming.
 All but four of the families who re- mained in the village washed thelr clothing and bedding, whitewashed their houses and carbolized the floors under the directions of Miss DeSette. The four who refused Were the unprogressive element, to which. unfortunat, ly, the governors of the pueblo and his staff belong.
 As early as November 16 thl govern or was requested by the principal of the school to isolate the first case of small pOx, and he refused to do so. The ter riable mortality which followed he accounted for by the presence of "witches.
 In spite of his opposition Miss DeSette succeeded admirably in her relief and sanitary work, having distributed $752 in clothing food and supplies.
 Among the items of goods given to the poor were 2,29O yards of cloth and 156 blankets. The funds were given by the following partles: Indian Rights Association $495 by eastern friends of missions Tn New Mexico. $12); extra salary gran ed Miss DeSette by tie commissioner of Indian affairs, $40.
 No, one has deeper interest in the welfare of the Pueblo Indians than Miss DeSette, nor has more influence in in- teresting others in their behalf.-New Mexican.
