THE MARQUIS SCARED.

America is not the only nation where
the people are compelled to keep an
eye Out for the careless automobilists.
A dispatch from London says the Mar
quis of Queensberry is in such terror
Of automobiles that he made formal
inquiry at the West London police
court the other day whether he could
obtain a license for gun or pistol in
order to protect himself from the
deadly onslaughts of automobile fends,
who render the continuance of life in
the Hammersmith Road a very doubt
full matter.
Lord Queensberry has occasion to
cross that thoroughfare several times
daily, and the account he gave of his
hairbreadth escapes from death by au-
tomobiles was almost as remarkable
as his application. Twice in the last
ten days his removal to another world
by automobiles has been a question of
an inch.
The family nurse, too, goes in such
terror of automobiles hat she abso-
lutely declines to take the RESPONSE
bility of conveying the marquis chill
dren ACROSS the Hammersmith road
SO that he himself is compelled to take
the children to the park.

BR|GHAM'S
BIRTHDAY
MORMONS OF UTAH CElEBRAT-
ING EVENT AT LOGAN, THE
SEAT OF COLLEGE.
Was Born at Nottingham, Vermont,
One Hundred and Four Years Ago
Today and Went to Salt Lake
More Than Half a Century Ago

For years past the anniversary OF
the birthday of Brigham Young has
been observed by his descendants, his
children. grandchildren and great
grandchildren gathering from far and
near for the family reunion. The re-
union this year will be held at Logan,
Utah, and takes l2ce today in that
city.
Young was born at Nottingham,
Vt, June l, 1901. His father was a
farmer, who removed to New York
state when the boy IA three years
old. Brigham had not the benefit of
even a common school education, but
at the age of 16 was compelled to earn
his living as a sort of Jack of all
trades'-painter, glazier and carpen-
ter. Early in February, 1886, he led
the Mormons from Nauvoo, acros the
| Mississippi, first into Nebraska, where
a temporary settlement was made, and
thence in 1913 to the shores of the
Great Salt Lake. In 1871 Young was
indicted for polygamy, but escaped
punishment. He died August 20, 1877,
possessed of enormous wealth extort'
ed from his dupes, the nominal hus'
band of some scores of women and the
putative father of an indefinite mum.

THE S|LL|EST
OF STRIKES
OMAHA PRODUCED KING ZEE OF
LUDRICROUS LABOR UP
HEAvALS MONDAY.
Bumptuious Makeup On Agricultural
Paper objects to Presence Of Edi-
tor in Composing Room And is
Promptly Discharged-Union Car
penters Leave Cheyenne.

One of the %silliest strikes that On.
aha has had to lea with lately was
pulled off al the National Printing com.
pany's plant on Monday afternu.n
about 4 o'clock, when the force of the
office walked out, say the Omaha Bee.
1t seems hat the editor of a farm pa
per published there was busy directing
the makeup of his publication, and had
been personally placing some of the
cuts for illustration in the pages where
he wanted them. The printer who was
making up the paper took umbrage at
the editor undertaking to do printers
work, and putting on his oat left the
Office. The rest of the men ut work
foolishly followed him. AS soon as the
matter was reported to the executive
committee of the union an lnvestiga-
ton was had, and the men ordered
back to work, as they had no griev-
ance whatever. All were at work this
morning, with the exception OF the
bumptious individual who caused the
trouble. He was discharged, and will
be further disciplined by the union.
