Mr.. Jas. M. Kirkham.
Dear sir:-Thinking that probably
you would be DESTROYS OF hearing re-
port Of the work of the Lord aud its pro-
erosion in the state Of Wisconsin, |
take pleasure in writing you short
letter. am pleased to state that the
work OF the Lord is progressing in this
conference wonderfully through the
faithful diligence OF the Elders and
disiderates to bring about the truths OF
the gospel. during our recent confer
ence, which was held at the city .oi
Ripon. II was enc Of the most success
full ones ever held in this state in spite
OF the conditions which threatened our
intended purposes. Nearing the
appointed time for conference the city
was pl iced under strict quarantine; the
cause being a scarlet fever epidemic
which was invading the city and threat
vned to prevent our intentions, but
through the iaithiulness and prayers of
the Elders, the way was opened up and
we were permitted to go on With our
meetings OF which several were held
commencing Mar, 18th and 18th inclu-
sve. The attendance being very salts
factory, the house filled to cver1owing
at each meeting and the Spirit OF the
Lord was manifested in great abundance
and many powerful and convincing
testimonies were borne by the Elders
to the restoration OF the gospel and
authenticity OF the b. OF NJ. and the
divinity OF the Prophet Joseph Smith
also many friends being made and much
OF the unpopulsrity and deep seated
prejudice was extirpated from the minds
Of the people by the humble testimonies
OF the Elders, also many people express
ing themselves as being DESTROYS that
we should continue our meeting for an-
other week, but future arrangements
rendered il impossible as IL were deemed
advisable that several Elders should re-
main in the city and hold cottage meet
ings. The remainder being assigned
their various and respective fields o
labor left the city OF Ripon, feeling wei

Myself and companion being assigned
to Shawano and surrounding count J

ORCHIDS VALUED AT $4,000.
Flower Worth Thirty Times Its Weight
in Diamonds.

From the London Mall.
A broad shouldered, stalwart looking
young man in blue suit, with carefully
creased trousers, stood near the orchid
section of the Temple flower show last
evening, watching with keen, alert
glances the transference of the precious
plants to the growers vans. The senti-
ners appearance was unmistakable; he was
a city plain clothes detective.
AS the vast bank of orchids, stretching
the whole length of the principal tent,
rapidly thinned, the young man drew a
handkerchief across his brow, and, with
sigh of relief, murmured, Thank good
ness, it is all over"
For three days he had kept guard over
$4,000 worth of orchids his place being
taken during the night time by other
watchers. Ingenious precautions were
adopted to battle the dishonest enterprise
of any person who might be DESTROYS OF
snatching up a small fortune in the shape
of a flower or two. Plants, for example,
worth anything up to 1000 guineas were
purpoSely placed in the modest company
of orchids closely resembling them SO far
as the untutored eye could detect, but
valueless in comparison.
"a collection of orchids such as this is
a great anxiety to the owners" observed
Mr.. Sander of ST. Adams, who doubted If
he would accept $4,000 for his own indi-
vidual exhibits. Gases have occurred
he ADDED, 'W0ere a1ter the puDllcdtlol VI
the description Of some expensive variety
of orchid the plant has been carefully
picked out from the other exhibits and
stolen.
Throughout the last two days I scarce
Iy removed my glance from the Odonto-
glossum crispum Leanard Perfect, which
l sold for over 1000. 1t consisted of
about six fiowers-large, rounded, with
a reddish brown blotch bordered with
white. Fortunately the buyer claimed it
yesterday.
Orchid growers do not insure their
plants, but should an expensive specimen
be stolen the owner could recognize 1t
years afterward No two orchids in the
higher varieties are alike; they resemble
thoroughbreds in that they have points.
The Messrs. Sander have won the gold
cup, the gold medal and the Veitchian
cup.
Fourteen hundred pounds was the price
paid to Messrs. Hugh Low & Co. by a
visitor to the show for a specimen of the
Cdontoglossum crispum Fearnley Sander.
There were only three flowers, which
gives a trife of over S466 for button
hCle--if any one is enough of a Croesus
to wear such a decoration. This flower,
which is worth thirty times it's weight in
diamonds has a thin white border. The
rest of the petal is heavily barred and
blotched with cinnamon brown, which
in the sunlight assumes the hue of highly
FURNISHED copper.
The orchids were the wonder of a show
that was a record for the Temple in every
respect.
