A Miss Hattie Bailey daughter Of a
prominent English manufacturer, had
taken quarters at sanitarium among
the hills Of Scotland to be treated for
. nervous disorder. One afternoon
after being IN the place for a week or
so, she walked up the road about a
mile, accompanied by her maid They
sat down in the shade Of a large rock
and after perhaps half an hour Miss
Bailey fell asleep, and the maid got up
and began gathering a bouquet
AS they left the sanitarium Wit
less yokel named AdaIr was moving
weeds in a field up the road, but
neither of the women observed him
He followed after them. Keeping in
the fields and determined TO take adj
vantage of any opportunity. The maid,
Sarah, was not over 200 feet away,
though out Of sight Of her mistress,
when Adair crept up to the sleeping
girl, passed his folded handkerchief
over her mouth and tied It, and by
D
ing her off in his arms,
She naturally enough cried out and
struggled, but her cries were mutiied.
and her strength was taken away by
the surprise Of the moment. Adair
carried her across an open field forty
rods wide. and yet a boy at work at
the north end OF it and only forty
rods away did not see him. a sports
man at the south end about as far
away was looking about for game.
and yet he was as blind as the boy.
The maid returned TO find her mis-.
tress gone. and, though surprised at
the fact, she argued that Miss Bailey
had returned to the hotel. She took
her own time about getting there, and
it was o'clock before there was any
general inquiry. and after dark before
any one was sent out in search.
Something had happened during the
interval to deepen the mystery Miss
Baileys room had been plundered 81
her trunk and clothing The maid
occupied room adjoining. and yet
some one had come by night and re.
moved the things without raising the
slightest alarm Most of the cloth
ing was hanging up. The garments
had been taken down and placed in
the trunk and the trunk carried down
a pair Of stairs. through two halls and
out Of back door.

the reports Of Captain Butter show
that for one week the cost Of living OF
these little chaps was only little

is no fight on the Mormon people. I

they are let alone. II their church

Mormon hierarchy at Salt Lake has
brought this controversy upon them
selves. They brought it upon us in
Idaho by their attempt to take the test
oath out Of our constitution. They
brought it upon us in the nation by at
tempting to seat as a United States
senator, Reed Smoot, who is the rep
resentative of Joseph F. Smith and not
as u. S. senator for Utah. In addi-
ton to that. let me tell you another
thing, a fact about the Mormon people.
They have a large number Of officers.
the first presidency consisting OF three,
then the IL apostles, the patriarchs,
then a large number of presidents Of
stakes. then a very much larger num-
Der of bishops, comprising, as you
would naturally suppose, generally the
most intelligent among the Mormons.
Not single one Of that large class Of
ecclesiastics can aspire to political Of
flee without first getting the consent Of
the Mormon authorities. ,Applause.)
That is the testimony given by Joseph
F. Smith. and the head men themselves.
Isn't that a pretty close union Of
church and state? Is it becoming to
an American citizenship? I think not.

you cannot defeat me. You may end

eternally right in this fight, which I
hoped had ended forever. 1 thank you
