"ADAM'S GRAVE"
Located by Joseph Smith in a Revelation
Eve Not Accounted For. ...,.
Evansville Courier.

Five miles to the northeast of Gallatin,
Mo-, on a high knoll that commands a
view of the surrounding country and the
sweep Of the Grand river, Is the grave Of
Adam. the first settler Of the universe.
Joseph Smith, prophet Of the Mormon
church, discovered the site and pro-
claimed the fact. He got his information.
on high. So. the authenticity Of the reve-
lation being admitted, the chain Of tes-
timony is complete. ...l. I'D, r. ~ 20.
The place Is visited every year by many
Mormon pilgrims and curiosity seekers. It
would have been difficult to find more
fitting place for the burial of our first
parents. The adjacent landscape in every
direction presents a scene Of rare beauty.
The hillock that Is said to be crowned as
to summit with the grave Is terraced,
seemingly by nature, perhaps by man. the
gradations being regular from the water
| line Of the Grand river to the crest, $50
| feet above. On the top there is an inden-
tation, showing where relio-hunting van
dals have dug into the earth.
/ When the Mormons were driven out Of
Jackson county In the thirties they scat
tered to Daviess, Ray, Carroll, Clay and
Caldwell counties. It was intended that
| the settlement Of Far West In Caldwell
county should be the seat Of the religion,
but the Daviess county contingent, enam-
ored Of the fruitful soil and delicious cli-
mate, refused to be transplanted. They
were getting along very well here thank
you, and determined to remain. The head
Of the church decided that there must be
a central spot, local governing head In
Daviess county. So Joseph Smith had 9
revelation. Whenever an emergency arose
"Joe" was always delivered Of a revela-
1 ton.
| In his vision he was commanded to take
his compass and Jacob staff; to start from
the city of Far West and travel due north
i until he came to "a river, an ancient river
! but now called the Grand; to descend
this river to where it was crossed by the
center line running north and south thru
Daviess county,; to follow this center line
for a certain number Of furlongs when
he would come to point Of upland. Or

WAR WITH COLOMBIA NOT
DESIRED OR EXPECTED
BY THE UNITED STATES
Isthmian Policy of the Administra-
ton Plainly Stated by Secre-
tary Root.
NO ORDERS TO TROOPS
And No Preparations of Any
Kind for Engaging in Hostili-
ties, as Reported.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Shortly after
the Cabinet meeting Secretary Root is
sued the following statement regarding the
isthmian policy of the administration:
THE publication in various quarters of
news indicating that the government is
preparing to send troops to the isthmus
to carry military operations against
Colombia has been the source of con-
siderable annoyance to the executive and
to the War Department. No state of war
exists between the two countries: no inau-
guration of hostlities is contemplated by
this government no preparations for war
is being made. 1t is not believed by the
President, nor by the secretary OF state.
that any occasion for the employment OF
troops on the isthmus is likely to arise.
They have used their utmost efforts TO con-
vince General Reyes and the Bogota offi-
Gals OF the friendly intentions of this gov
eminent toward Colombia, and their readi-
ness TO use their good offices in the settle
ment OF any questions In dispute between
Colombia and Panama. 1t is difficult for
them to believe that the authorities in
Bogota can be so blinded by passion and
prejudice as to declare war against us; and
even IL this ruinous step should be taken
by Colombia, this government would be In
no haste To respond to her challenge. The
President makes all possible allowance for
the natural excitement I'm Bogota over a
state of things for which the Colombian
government is alone responsible. and OF
which IL was fully forewarned. But they
must sooner or later recognize the ire
sstable force of accomplished facts and
the sooner this is done the better for all
parties. We have done them no wrongs;
we would like TO be OF service TO them;
II they are wise, they will not put II out
OF our power TO help them by any act OF
rashness and violence"
General Reyes, prior to his departure
from Washington, in an interview with
Secretary Hay, arranged for further con-
sideration between representatives of the
two governments of the Panama matter.

local stock market, the preferred declining
within one-fourth point of ten points after
the opening. The opening sale was at 5634,
Il below yesterdays close, and before noon
sales were made at AZ. The slump in the
stock was accounted for by the fact that

circulation to the effect that the company,
at its meeting to-day, would pass the quar-
terly dividend. This rumor was added to
this morning by report that the company
had failed In its effort to fund its indebted
ness.
