move into that town. When the
Western touched Aberdeen
years ago it was on the outskirts OF
the city, and far removed from the

the road contemplates building a tine

COULD NOT FIND "TICE."
lrate Baggageman Thought Buster
Brown Company Had a
Dog Aboard.

An amusing incident recently occurred
on a train in Wisconsin, to which was
attached a car containing the Buster
Brown" company. The was
sitting back on the cushions, glancina
idly at the latest wal news. when tho
door suddenly opened and a man whose
jumpers and cap indicated that he was
the baggageman strobe in.
Are you the manager of this com,
pany?" he asked, stopping before tho
man with the newspaper.
Yes" replied the individual.
Well" continued the irate trunk
smasher. I'm looking for that dog. You
know as well as | do that it's agains,

But we have no dog aboard. said tn,
manager, mildly.
What calculated the fellow; I've
read the papers, and I've seen your litho-
graphs. Tige is in both of EN-. Be-
sides, my wife saw the show last fall
in Chicago, and she said there was 9
dog in it,"
IF you must have Tige,' said the
manager, you'll find him down in the

baggageman that the role of Tige is

OFF RAIL, ON AGAIN, GONE
Story of Miraculous Escape Made by
Passengers on Limited
Train.

One OF the most miraculous escapes
in the annals of railway service was
that which saved the passengers and
crew of the Chicago and Florida limited
flyer between Macon and GAINESVILLE,
Georgia.
From the story, as confirmed by Off
Gals of the Central of Georgia railroad.
the tender of the limited engine jumped
the track on a curve between Macon
n GAINESVILLE, bumped along for II
ties, and then jumped to the track agin,
1t seems that a negro section hand saw
the miracle, and waited with open
mouth for a wreck. But there was no
wreck, and the train went on it's way.
When the negro told the story. no
one would believe him. but on investiga.
ton it was found to be true. Deer
grooves were found in II cross ties, and
even the spikes in the rails were cut
by the tenders wheels, which were tenn.
porarily out of place. AS soon an
a telegram was received in Macon
from GAINESVILLE saying that such
a thing had really happened. another
investigation was called for, and 8
confirmation secured by the officials OF
the Central.
When told that the tender of the
limited's engine was off the track for
II cross ties, the engineer and on
ductor of the limited took it as a Joke
till they saw the evidence of il with
their own eyes.

Employe Appreciated.

An interesting item comes from
Rochester, regarding Edward Kane. a
Pullman porter. who has for several
years been running on the night trains
on the New York Central between
Rochester and New York. Kane was
taken i'll several weeks ago and is now
in the Presbyterian hospital at New
York for treatment. The fact of his
illness being learned by a prominent
business man in Rochester, he imms-
diately made it known to other bust
hess men, with the result that a fund
OF $3.50 was promptly raised among
people who have Travelled with Kane,
and forwarded to him at the hospital.
This incident proves two things. First.
that there are everywhere employees
who are faithful to the en-
ploying them and courteous to the
travelling public with whom they come
in contact; and second. that the aver
age American traveller does appreciate
good service and courteous treatment
and is ever ready to show his appre-
citation in a kindly and effective man
ner.

vlously in good standing in the church
have made serious accusations against
Mr.. Smith.
He has been charged with taking the
money paid as an offering to the Lord
and using it for speculations to build UP
his W private wealth
He has been charged with taking the
bodies of the ualsnters of his subjects
and bestowing them upon his favor
ites;" of taking property which be-
longed to the widow and orphan and
having absorbed 1t into the possessions
of the CROWN" with depressing the poor
members of the church for his own en-
richment; of violating the laws of the
church; of committing crimes against
the government; of reasonable teach
ing, and of f~orsaking a true spiritual life
for the worship of mammon."
Accusers Excommunicated.
Goaded into anger by these attacks,
President Smith has sought to retaliate
by communicating persons who might
question his acts.
Already former Senator Frank J. Can
non, son of President George @. Can
non, one of the most celebrated leaders
of the Mormon church, has been cut off
for daring to express opinions in criti-
cism of the Mormon head.
Charles A. Smurthwaite, one of the
leading business men of Utah, a high
priest in the church and a man whose
character has been above %reproach, has
been disfellowshipped for charging
President Smith with bad faith and de-
handing an accounting of the church
funds.
He is fighting the proceedings against
him, maintaining that, if given an op-
%portunity, he will prove every statement
he has made against the president of the
church.
Furthermore, he has put to a test the
various ass%everations of the church to
the effect that polygamy and polyga-
nous cohabitation are no longer counte-
nanced by filing charges against one of
the elders of the church, Hyrum H. God
dard, on tie ground that this elder is
violating the revelation against polyg-
amy by living with two wives.
The hierarchy is seeking to evade the
issue by raising technical points, but it
is being continually put into the position
of showing bad faith all around, and is
being forced into this attitude by its own
members.
Discomfort Grows.
According to impartial observers, the
discomfort within the church is growing
rapidly, and it is said this same discon-
tent is manifesting itself in a way to
hurt the president in the most sensitive
place-the pocketbook. Already it is
stated that the tithing is falling off
heavily.
Thinking men among the Mormons
are backing up Elder Smurthwaite's de-
mand that ar accounting be made for
the tithing. They object to giving up a
tenth of their incomes as an Offering to

"coPPERED" THE PROPHET.
weather Man So Often Wrong 1t Was
a Sure Thing to Bet Against
Him.

This is a story of a weather almanac
prophet, who may be called Thompson,
tells on himself, says the New York
Press. While recently visiting a Jersey
town he went into a store to buy a cigar.
He made his purchase and was about to
leave the store when the proprietor re-
marked:
It's a pity you have no umbrella. for
it's going to rain soon."
i think you are wrong in your predic-
tion," replied Thompson. "It looks like
fine weather to me-
We'll" said the cigar store man. "I1l
bet a dollar it will rain before noon"
Very good, I'll call in again TODAY
and collect" said Thompson. After
leaving the store he had gone only a few
blocks when he vas well drenched bv n
sudden shower. Thompson was strucl,
by the mans prediction, and being al
ways intent on the interest of his alma
nae he went back to the store and was
received by the proprietor with a broad
brin.
You see | was right after ALL"
Yes" admitted Thompson. Here's
your dollar, and III give you another if
you tell me how you knew Of this rain"
why, the truth is | have an almanac
called Thompson's Almanac, and the fell
low is such a notorious liar that when
ever he predicts a fine day | always know
twill be the exact opposite. Hooked at

equaled. For this purpose he has an
exceptional equipment. Ever since
childhood he has been on the inside of
the workings of the church.
Cannon's Large Following.
Canno has built up a large following
among the younger and progressive
Mormons, as we'll as among men and
women outside his church. He opposed
the selection of Reed Smoot, on the
ground that it was wrong for the church
to interfere in politics-that it would
bring sorrow to the Mormon people and
woe to Utah. Last fall he announced
that he believed the issues within the
state of supreme Importance to the resi-
sents of Utah, and he Joined the newly
TO. Led American party, which was Or
ganized to fight the Mormon church in
politics.
Not long after the presidential cleo
ton he bega2 he fight on Smith. For
some time an e.4ort was made to ignore
the attacks, but finally the president of
the church took c%ognizance of them by
ordering the officials in Mr.. Cannon's
ecclesiastical ward to bring proceed
ings to cut him off from the church.
which were successful.
While the Mormon church has ALWAYS
welcomed any attack made on its reli-
gion as a religion from the out
side, this is the first time in
its history that the attack has ben
from within, and the hierarchy is
frightened. Prosecutions from out
s1ders have only served to make mar
tyrs of the followers of the creed of
Brigham Young and helped to solidify
the people in a defensive attitude.
But now comes a wal within the
church, in which the members of the
organization make accusations against
those in authority, while the accusers
maintain their adherence to the faith.
Every move made by Smith and his
followers thus far has only involved
them further, and those who are fight
ing them welcome with glee the increas-
ing feeling against them among the
Mormons.

American Railroad Mileage.

The railroad mileage in the United
States is increasing at the rate of
about 5000 miles a year. At this rate
in 20 years there will be 100, 900 more
miles of railroad in the country. If
the country continues to develop dur
ing the next 20 years as rapidly as it
has during the last two decades. it Will
require fully 100000 more miles of
railroad to handle the increase in the

ruler. Such is the condition at present
in Utah, according to those who are
waging war on the Mormon leader ant
who are attempting to displace hin
from his high seal.
Charges have been made that Smith
has diverted the flow of tithes from the
Golfers Of the church to. his own peck
cts; that he has commanded his follow
ers to invest their money in enterprises
under his control so that he may enrich
his private purse, and that he has com

But firmly entrenched behind the walls
of the tabernacle the alleged king is bid
ding defiance to his enemies both with
in and without the state.
Origin of the Trouble.
The election of Reed Smoot to the
United States senate may be said to be
the beginning of the trouble. Before
the time arrived for the apostle of the
Mormon church to take his seat among
the country's lawmakers, a popular
wall arose throughout the country that
he should be barred from that body.
There were those Of the apostles that op-
posed the mixing of church with politics
and forecasted the opposition that would
arise from his election, but Smith was
favorable to Shoots candidacy and, as
is well known, he was easily elected.
When the committee was appointed by
the senate to investigate the charges of
MormonisE preferred against the new
ly-elected senator, many churchmen
II high standing were called to Wash
tngton to testify, and among others was
President Smith. The general trend of
the testimony presented showed that al
though %polygamous cohabitation had
been abolished as a rule, those of the
mormon faith were still ruled by the law
of the church, rather than by the law
OF the land, or in other words, that the
law of tine church is supreme.
Smith a Confessed Perjurer.
1t was only after the passage of the
Edmund's law that Utah was admitted
Into the union as a state. Under this law,
which was subscribed to by President
SHiht and the apostles of the Mormon
church, plural marriages and polyga-
nous cohbaitation were forbidden. But
on the stand before the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections in the
smoot investigation, President Smith
frankly confessed that the pact with the
nation had been broken; that his oath
was a travesty; that his obligation as
an apostle and as hierarch of the church
was a subterfuge.
The opposition to the seating of Smoot
was ably conducted by Robert W. Tay-
