PLAN ANOTHER MEETING
Second State Fair Rate Conference Not
Decisive

A second conference was held yester-s
day over the refusal Of the three north
ern transcontinental lines to grant re-
duced rates for the state fair while
ticket brokers were allowed to con-
tinue in business. Results were not
accomplished, but third meeting will
be held. Committees will be appointed
from business organizations to take up
the matter, as it is feared that unless
some steps are taken the twin cities
will be unable to get reduced rates for
future occasions.
Mr.. Babcoek, representative Of the
Railway Protective association, was at
the meeting in the Great Northern
building. Others were Cleland of the
Northern Pacific, Stone Of the Great
Northern, Galloway of the 500, Attor-
ney NJ: D. Mum, Secretary E. W. Ran
dali of the state fair, B. R. Salisbury,
E. j. Westlake and John Leslie OF the

A post-horn solo will be on the

be the soloist, and the performance will
be among the real novelties OF the sum-
mer season of music.
Altho the use Of the post horn as a
solo band instrument dates from the
early ffties, it's appearance in public
has been exceedingly rare because or
the unusual difficulties incident to sue
cessful performance upon it. Unlike
duced as novelty by corn'et players,
the instrument used by Mr.: Bellstedt
will have but three tones, G., G and Q
above the staff, and is without the
valves or "keys' with which so many
tones are produced on the ordinary mu-
steal instrument of brass: It is, In fact,
an exact counterpart Of the instru-
that premier soloist made the English
public acquainted with the post horns
possibilities.
When A. Julien was the master of
all British bandmasters and seeking for
novelties with whichrto interest his
public he conceived the idea Of adapt
ing the tally-ho or stagecoach horn, to
to band and orchestra arrangements:
With Koenig as the performer and
Julien s own HPost-Horn' galop as
the selection, the innovation was an
instantaneous success, but owing to the

BILE of satisfactorily playing the instru-.

public while he was soloist with Gill

and pitch, Mr.. Bellstedt IS performance

thing Of novel nature which the solo

became acquainted with two Of Lees widows and
several Of his children in northern Arizona.
At the time Of the trial and conviction it was
freely asserted that bargain had been made be-
tween the United States authorities and the Nor
man officials, whereby, in consideration that the
effort to convict Brigham Young should be aband-
oned, Mormon testimony would be furnished to
convict Lee, and the demand for victim appeased
Whether there was any real ground for such a
charge 1T would, OF course, be difficult to prove.
Lee beyound q doubt, felt that he was sacrificed
for others, and it is fact that none other was
punished for the massacre OF the 12O or 1870 vic
TINS who fell at the Meadows. Lees family felt
that he was a martyr.
In my time the Mormon people, SO | was in
formed, gave the Meadowsa wide berth, particu-
lary at night. Weird, ghostly stories were preva-
lent as to what could be seen and heard, and no
one cared to pass there after nightfall or camp

In time the remains of the victims were gath

\ ca!rn OF rocks was erected over them and cross
placed there upon which was inscribed "Nenge-
ance is Mine, Will repay saith the Lord
Before Lee died he wrote a confession and a
rambling story OF his life which his attorney had
published. Lee admitted his part in the massacre,
and contended that it was done by order OF those
high in church authority. He maintained that
unless he had obeyed his instructions his own life
would have been the forfeit.
1t is hard to figure out the exact truth Lee

The investigation Of Senator Reed Smoot is
drawing more general attention to the Mormon
people, their history, belief and practices OF a
generation that knows them not 1t is strange
story an anomaly in the history OF this country.
Years ago knew the Mormon people right we'll.
have Travelled over their country, and lived
among them for months at a time In many ways
they were an admirable people. They were, and
probably still are, ruled by their priesthood, but
this did not prevent many Of them from being
reputable citizens, according their lights. Their
history has some dark and tragic spots in it, and
one OF these was the Mountain Meadows Massacre
in S57. In the 7O's the story was a fresh and
vivid one, now it is well-nigh forgotten. How
many Of those Who were participants in the affair
are alive would be hard to say, but most OF
them must be dead knew several OF those who,
in one way or another, were connected with it.

ing across Utah to California in 1857. Feeling
against the Mormon people was then very strong,
and, by vain and foolish boastings these elni-
grants aroused great resentment against them
selves on the part of the Mormons There were in
the company from 100 to 80 men, women and
children, with several hundred cattle, horses and
wagons and miscellaneous property. Upon reach
ing Mountain Meadows, in southwestern Utah,
the party were informed that all Indian attack
was imminent and they foolishly allowed them
selves to be persuaded to place themselves under
the protection OF the Normons, and to surrender
to them their Weapons OF defense.
They were then cleverly ambushed bv the Nor
mons, mostly disguised as Indians, with, possibly,
a sprnkng of the latter and the entire outfit,
barring few very young children, killed and their
belongings appropriated and distributed among
the lnurdelerS
John d. Lee was the man who carried out the
affair, but suspicion always rested upon the higher
Mormon officials, including Brigham Young. For
years efforts were made to ferret ont the guilty
parties, Young being the one it specially de
sired to catch but littIeprogress made. Finally, in
1876 the attempt to connect Young withthe mas
