LATTER DAY SAINTS
Kepudiate MOrmOnism in Regard to
Murder of Mrs. Pulitzer.

hepudfate MOrmOnism in Regard to
Murder of Mrs. Pulitzer.
Salt Lake City. Utah, Oct. 5.-The
twenty-second annual conference of the
Church of Latter Day Saints is in SEES
sion here, and the officials are refuting
In the most emphatic language the pub
ished statements that the murder of
Mrs. Pulitzer in New York was due
TO the Mormon doctrine of blood atone
ment.
President Ben E. Rich of the Cen
tral States Mission of the Mormon
church, who has just returned from
the East. said:
The murder is magnified every day
IN the newspapers. They try to bring
the blame for the crime upon the
church. They say in inflaming head
lines that this murder resulted from
the doctrines of the Mormon Church.
They say the Mormons believe in blood
atonement. So do all Christian nations:
they believe or pretend to believe in
the atoning blood of Christ for sin
1hey say the Mormons believe in an
olher kind of blood atonement Well
we do to the same extent that every
state in the nation believes in it-that
a man who sheds another's blood shall
HdNe MS own blood spilled by the law
This we believe and nothing more.
We do not believe in strangling the
criminal or executing him in the cleo
trio chair, but we believe that, he who
spills mans blood, by man shall his
blood be spilled, and thank God there
were enough in the constitutional con-
Vention of this state who, realizing the
meaning of this to give the murderer
the choice of being hanged or having
his blood spilled by shooting, if he had
any regard for the teaching of God left
in him"
Continuing, Mr.. Rich said:
Some years ago the minister of a
church in this city murdered two
girls, carved them to pieces and
burned their bodies in a furnace. Did
the Mormons say he was following the
doctrines of his church? No. thew
knew that if he had been following
the teachings of his church he would
never had done such a thing. And if
Hooper Young had been following the
teachings of the Mormon Church he
would have been out in the streets tell
ing the wicked of their sins, instead of
languishing in Jail as he now is"

ering the conditions, and the posi-.
bilities Of this product, this is by
no means a prohibitive price fer
the seed.
Farmers in central and north
Texas are running moving ma

they are worth as fodder. They

way toward supplying the place Of
corn.
While on this subject Of corn
growing, another idea occurs to this
writer, W itch we believe should be
borne in mind befeafter by our
people. If fay6ers generally had
planted an eany variety Of corn
this year instead Of the common
kind, the country would now have
had a fine corn crop made. The
proper kind Of seed corn was car
ried in stock right here in Bryan
by dealer, and has been adver-
iised by him for years 1t would
have cost twenty-five to fifty cents
an acre more to plant it than the
common corn, and this Insignificant
sum caused many to turn aside
from its use and lose their eutire
crop by planting the common corn.
This looks like a short.sighted pol
icy. This is advice for another
year, however, and does not apply
to the present emergency.
As for the present, LET our people
take steps energetically by the
planting of the hardy, drouth.re-
sisting crops named above, and
they may yet be able to retrieve
much Of the loss resulting from the
failure Of the corn crop.

been lightly touched upon once OF
twice before. but attracted little atten-

dicted that in the coming elections

trouble in Duluth has been brewing
since the opening of navigation, the
men demanding the same rate of wages

have been made at all other ports.
The strike order was sent out last
evening by Grand President Archie

grievance of their own, but at once
responded to the order given them by
the local president, Joseph Cole. The
tug trust has. twelve boats at this
port, nine of which are now running
With the swift current running in the

President Joseph Cote said last
night that he did not expect the strike
would be of long duration. as the tug
trust would be forced to grant the de-
mands of the Duluth men. James Sin

here, was notified early last evening
OF the decision to strike. and he said
the situation was serious. How long the
trouble might last he would not ven

Whether the Licensed Tugmens'
Protective Association will join with
the deckhands and firemen in their

have been met by the tug trust at every
port on the lakes except Cleveland and
Lorain. At Duluth, where the strike
has been on for several weeks, vessels
have had much trouble in making their
way around the harbor, and several

thru collisions.

STORY OF A BATTLE.
Old Glory Was in Demand During tbs
Fight at Bocas,

Mobile Ala, April 24.-Dr. j. E. Ter
ry, marine hospital surgeon aboard the
Norwegian fruit steamer Mount YER
ron, which arrived here yesterday
afternoon, three days and a half out
from Bocas del Toro, Colombia, the
hotbed of the revolution that is now
agitating that country, brings the
latest news regarding the capture of
Bocas by the liberal soldiers. He saws:
Thursday, at 10 in the morning, the
insurgents, 700 strong, had the town
surrounded, which is the largest in that
domain, and 300 government troops
were entrenched on the inside. All
during Wednesday night the insur-
gents. by the use of the launches seized
from the American fruit companies,
continued to get close to the govern
ment lines. and kept up a heavy rifle
firing until daybreak. The Mount YER
ron was stationed in the stream, and
several of the bullets came uncomfort-
ably close to the vessel.
In the fight that resulted in the
