The sick were healed, evil spirits were
rebuked. and even death was conquered.
Elder .. Llljenquist often tells Of how,
when the cholera was raging In Copen-
hagen. carrying away hundreds OF vic
ums. the Saints were immune. And this
fact became so noted that people used
90 say the "Mormons' could not die.
This continued until the Saints them
selves forgot perhaps. TO give God the
glory. when one Of their most trusted
leaders was stricken and died. In this
manner IL was made manifest that Il
was the power OF God alone through
which salvation from sickness as well
as from sin. the cause Of IL, came. In
Sweden, too, one Of the first manifesto
tons Of divine power was the
miraculous healing from consumption
of a man given up by the physicians.
Hundreds OF cases OF such manifesto

SOME FAMOUS RUNS.

Some great runs were made, as for
instance, when the riders carried the
news OF Linc0lns election. The run
from ST. Joseph 20 Denver, 665 miles,
was made on that occasion in two
days and twenty-one hours and Bob
Haslam covered the first l20 miles In
eight hours and ten mIuuates, while
the last ten miles into Denver took 81
minutes.
on another occasion, relates Mr.

have relieved a rider, were disabled

In 1858 Alex. Majors made d trip by

and was twenty-one days on the road.
Mr.. Majors soon afterwards bought out
this stage line, and by building good
stables, stocking them well with feed
and getting good stock, the schedule
time was cut in two, the distance Of

CROOKS" ARRESTED.
Police and Detectives Fill the Jail
With PickpOckets and DRINKS
on Memorial Day.
NO SERIOUS CRIMES COMMITTED
Most of the Men We're Arrested for Petty
Offenses and Were Released This
Morning by the Mayor.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
greatest crowd ever seen in Kenosha
was here yesterday the police report
little of interest in a criminal manner.
The affair had been SO largely adver-
tised that the crooks and sharpers from
Chicago came up in large numbers but
with a well trained police force and
with the assistance of the detectives
from Chicago, kindly loaned for the
occasion by the Northwestern Railway
COMPANY, there was little trouble in
handling the crowd of nimb1e fingered
gentry.
They went to work early Tuesday
evening and Officer Gloss got the first
blood by placing two Chicago toughs
tempting to hold up Mrs. George
Foster on Prairie avenue. All day
long the detectives were kept busy
watching the men under suspicion and
several very small losses were reported
to the police. In all the cases it was
simply the work of pickpockets and
the amount secured was trifing.
In all thirty men were arrested and
charged with all sorts of charges from
plain and ornamental drunks up to
larceny. This morning Mayor Cor
man went to the jail and after he took
look at the fellows decided to use the
executive prerogative and sent them
out of the city in short order. None of
the men were noted criminals, but
most Of them we're simply petty
thieves. @
Among the list of robberies reported
the most important one was the en-
trance of the home of Myron A. Baker,
the attorney, who resides on Durkee
avenue. The entrance was made
while the members of the household
were watching the parade and a re-
vo1ver and several pieces of jewe1ry
were taken.
James Jepson, the inn-keeper at Sa-
lem, reports that he had his pocket
picked and was relieved of a wallet
containing S45 and some small change.
The robbery took place near the Maple
house Wednesday afternoon.
Another report is that an old soldier
from Racine was robbed of So while
waiting for the electric car.
But the great mass of the reports are
of only small offenses and on the
whole the police deserve great praise
for the work they did.
