Mormon Elders Halted.

The two Mormon elders who have been
gradually working southwark down Back
Creek Vally, were brought to a sudden
and very unexpected halt when they ar
rived directly west of this city.
The two followers of Brigham Young
have been meeting with little success on
their tour in this direction. The farther
this way they got the less success they
met with. Their method of attempting
to convert the Christians of Back Valley
was by going from house to house and
not by holding mass meetings When
they arrived five miles west of this place
they found the feeling against them very
intense. The feeling kept growing more
bitter until at last several of the residents
OF that section turned out with shot guns
and politely instructed the propounders
OF the doctrine of Mormonism to vacate
the community at once.
The Mormons acceded to the wishes
of the enraged Back Checkers and retraced
their steps up the valley.

Why They Did 1t.

Recently great many employ es Of the
Baltimore and Ohio have taken the bene-
mt OF the insolvent law which has given
rise to the question as to whether the men
mean to be dishonest. An interested par
ty, in an interview, said: "As an observer
OF these things for some time past. | am
inclined to believe the men as a rule are
strictly honest in their intentions, but are
forced to such measures to protect their
places. The rule of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, as | understand
1t, is to dismiss from their service any en-
pIoye whose wages have been attached
three times. his causes an employe as
soon as an attachment is issued against
him to look for protection against dismiss
SAL This protection is found in the insol-
vent law. Many men have protected
themselves in this way and when circum-
stances permitted they have paid every
cent OF Indebtedness. the nsolvent law
giving them an indefinite extension of
time One of the employees who was a
fireman and only making short time be-
came involved in debt. Recently he was
promoted to engineer, making S4 a day.
Before ne had an opportunity to settle his
bills in full, an attachment was entered
against him with threats OF others. He
was advised by his friends to some of
whom ne owed small bills, to protect his
place which he did by taking the benefit.
II 1t is dishonest to take the benefit, the
dishonesty is protested by law"
