INSPIRED "KNOCKERS.

1t is one of the most cherished ira
ditions of the Mormon church that Jo-
seph. the founder OF the faith, fore
told the Civil war. Any one who be-
leved In his utterances, and wanted
to avoid the conflict had but to fee to
the tops Of the mountains and refuse to
join either army. Why not have an
equal demonstration Of prophetic power
at this time? If an earthquake is to

F. tell when II Will begin to disturb

Doctor Talmage and his so-called SCI

doctor for preaching false doctrine7

most disgusting. Some OF our citizens
feel that 1t is all right for drummers
TO come and solicit patronage of our

daughters see that they leave town
