.nTHE NAuvoo WAR =

This term covers the troubles at Nau-
VOC, ILL.,. between the Mormons and their
Gentle neighbors. After removing
from Manchester, N. Y, to Kirkland, o..
and from there to Missouri, many of
them located on the Illinois side of the
Mississippi, not far from Keokuk, To-,
and founded the town of Nauvoo. They
had a charter granted them which made
them almost entirely independent of the
state, and for time the Saints had
everything about as they desired.
Then divisions began to arise in their
camp. Joseph Smith was charged with
introducing the twin evil of slavery-the
Carter, in an article upon the subject:
Meantime Smith. in 1S43 and 1874, made
advances to so many women in Nauvoo,
soliciting them to become his spiritual
wives, that great uproar was created by
the declarations of those whose virtue
was proof against his attempts. Among
others who repeiled and denounced him
publicly was Mrs. Foster, wife of Dr.
Foster. Her husband, together with Will
liam Law, and others who had been sim
i1arly outrag ged renounced Mormonism,
and commenced at Nauvoo the publiea-
ton of a newspaper, the Expos:tor, to
expose Smith. In the first number they
printed afhdavits of sixteen women. to
the effect that Joseph Smith, Sidney Rig
don, and others, had endeavored to con-
vert them to the spiritual wife doctrine,
and to seduce them under the plea of
having had special commission from
heaven"
This expose caused intense excitement,

and May 6. 1874. Smith and a crowd OF
adherents attacked the Office of the jour-
nal named, and demolished 1t, destroy
ing the presses and other contents OF
the building. Foster and Law took ref
uge in Carthage, the county seat and
obtained warrants for the arrest of Jo-
seph and Hyrum Smith and sixteen
others. The warrant was served on
Smith, but he refused to obey the sum-
mons, and the constable who had the
papers was driven from Nauvoo The
county authorities called on the militia to
enforce the law, and the Mormons arm
ed themselves.
The governor of the state finally per-
suaded the two Smiths to surrender and
stand trial They were committed to the
Carthage JAIL and a guard stationed for
their protection June 27, at night, a
mob attacked the Jail, overpowered the
guard and fired upon the prisoners with
rifles through window and door. Hy-
rum Smith was shot dead. Joseph re-
turned the fire with a revolver till his
charges were exhausted and then tried
to escape through the windows, but was
shot as he leaped through it, and fell to
the ground dead
In 1S45 the charter of Nauvoo was re-
pealed by the Illinois legislature, and the
Mormons began to make preparations to,
remove West In 1916, early, they gath
cred in considerable numbers at Council
Bluffs, To-. while those who remained
at NauVpo again became involved in
trouble with their neigi1bors, and in Sep
tember, 1916, the city was cannonaded
for three days, and its inhabitants were
driven out by armed men, and gradually
wended their way to Utah.

ABOUT THE MOON.

ABOUT THE MOON.
The moon, which was an ancient object
of idolatry, has in later tir1as become
an article of superstition. The Druids
had regular rites and ceremonies ut the
changes of the moon, and the English
custom of addressing the new moon for
the purpose of getting information as to
the future husband or wife is one Of the
commonest prevalent, as, for example:
"All hail to thee, moon. all hail to thee:
1 prithee, good moon. declare to me
This night who my husband shall be-
dream is expected to feIlo " in
which the future spouse will be revealed.
The man in the moon is supposed to
have originated in the ancient account
given in Numbers XIV, Sc, of a man pun
ished with death for gathering sticks
on the Sabbath. Different countries have
different legends to account for his pres
enee there
The Scandinavian mythology relates
the story of two children that the neon
stole and carried up to heaven. They
had been drawing water from a well
in bucket, which is seen in the moon,
suspended from a pole on their shoul-
ders. This recalls the nursery rhyme
of Jack and Jill. The fall of Jack and
the subsequent fall of Jill simply rep
resent the vanishing of one moon spot
after another Every one can recall
signs believed in by many farmers
and others regarding the influence of
the moon in the growth of vegetation.
MIND CURE.
The mind cure, otherwise known in it's
various subdivisions as metaphysics,
Christian Science mental science, etc,
is snecies of delusion quite popular at
the present time. Every era Of the world
has cherished similar deiusions, for the
mass of the human race, even in what
are considered the educated classes, is
so unfamiliar with the processes of ez-
act reasoning that it falls a ready prey
to quacks of all kinds.
The fundamental idea of the mind-cure
system is that there is no such thing as
sickness. Disease, says one of their apos-
ties, is an error of the mind, the result OF
fear Fear is only faith inverted and per-
verted. God. who is all good Himself
and who made everything good, cannot
have been the author of any disease. AS
disease, therefore, is not a creation. IT
has no existence, and when the healer
has succeeded in impressing this fact
upon the mind of the patient, the ,ure Is

felt safe in prophesying a more notable
career. But young Wanamaker had an

much; he assisted his mother in the
house a great deal. and around his
fathers brickyard he was very helpful

unhappy peninsula was in the throes of
civil conEno ton, but the wise Europe an
statesmen did not foresee the terrible
struggle on the verge OF which Europe
then stood. The ambition of Louis was
boundless, the influence on France was
practically without limit. Not gun could

domination of the French capital.
There was one object, however, which
Louis had not attained, and which was
the height of his ambitious schemes.
Spain was already In the decline which
led to the present abject condition Of the
Spanish people, but still possessed in the
American provinces and the East that
empire which, for extent and wealth,
