RECORD OF BATTALION.
One of Mormon Company Tells of
Days When Call Was Made.

The record of the famous Mormon bat
talon from the date of its organization
to the present time was graphically given
by S. Stanley Richards last evening be-
fore the Nauvoo legion in the office of the
bishop. in the tithing yard. Elder Rich
ards related the events leading up to the
organization OF the battalion, its progress
westward. and incidentally touched upon
the troublesome times in which the Nor
mon people lived at that time, and fur
thermore took occasion to refer to nu-
merous revelations which he himself had
received from God. Being an associate
of the prophet Joseph Smith, Mr.. Rich
ards naturally has an abiding admiration
for the first seer of the Mormon church,
and he chooses words in the expression
of that admiration which are befitting one
of his unshaking devotion.
The history of the Mormon battalion. as
related by Mr.. Richards, was supported in
testimony by Mrs. Louisa Decker who. in
plain and clear speech, said that the
things Mr.. Richards had said were true,
so far as they related to Nauvoo: she
knew this because she was there at the
time.
At the next meeting of the Nauvoo Ie-
gion there will be nomination of officers

HARTMAN LONGS

Meeting of Stockholders of I'LL

Until This Afternoon.
PROXIES NOT YET COUNTED
UNION PACIFIC MAGNATE TIRED
OF DELAY.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-The meeting of the
stockholders of the Illinois Central rail-
road was today again postponed. this time
until $50 O'clock Saturday afternoon. No
action of any kind was taken. The de-
lay was caused by the inability of the
committee on proxies to present its work
When the stockholders met today the
committee had only reached the letter
H" and at that had considered merely
the domestic proxies. None of those re-
ceived from abroad had been touched
The delay has become very irksome to
Mr.. Hartman, who said today that II
was necessary for him to be In New York
on Monday, but he did not see how he
could leave Chicago before the conclu-
sion of the stockholders meeting.

1t was officially announced today by
President Harahan that John j. Mitchell,

candidate for the dictatorship now held
by Mr.. Fish. Both Mr.. Hartman and
Mr.. Fish were at the bank today to con-
fer with Mr.. Mitchell, who is a personal
friend of both men. They were at the
bank at the same time, but they did not
meet.
The delay in reaching a vote on direct
ors has caused many of the small stock
holders to abandon the meetings. Not
over fifty were present at the meeting

REFUSES TO PAY
CITY HOLO-UPS
Utah Light & Railway Com
pany Positively Declines to
Contribute Further.
BOARD OF WORKS PUZZLED
TRYING TO COLLECT 200 FOR
ALLEGED INSPECTIONS.

The Utah Light & Railway company,
after having suffered expensive delays in
the consideration of its franchise by the
council, has finally refused point-blank
to stand for any more hold-ups on the
part of the administration, and as a re-
suit the board of public works is trying
to ascertain how ii will collect 81 200 due
1t for alleged inspection fees from the
company.
The company, when II tears up a pave
ment to lay a conduit or repair a track,
must pay into the city treasury the esti-
mated cost of repairing the pavement.
Besides this it is required to pay for
inspection"
Objects to inspection"
The inspectors are furnished by the
board of public works and are supposed
to see that the work of relayfng the
pavement is being done properly. Their
aStuteneSs and knowledge of their work
are shown by the miserable condition in
which the stone blocks on Main street
have been left after being removed for
the installation of conduits. While one
good man could easily take care of all
this work, the board assigns man to
about every block. Their jobs are polit-
ical sinecures and their number has been
increased wonderfully as the time for
counting votes has approached.
The company, realizing that this in
spection" charge is simply another hold
up, has refused TO pay, and as a result
the board last evening passed resolution
forbidding the issuance Of any more per-
mits for tearing up pavements until the
company pays the sinecure holders for
their alleged work.
The company is compelled under its old
franchise to lay the condutts for its light
wires in the business district. Now the
board has said that If the inspectors are
not paid the company cannot lay any
more conduits. The problem is how the
company is going TO succeed in improv-
ing the city or complying with the terms
of its franchise without putting up 200.

DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE.

The prediction that method will
be found to take photographs, or some
picture of the SINE cfass over the cleo
trio wires has more than once been
made, and has always been received
with more or less incredulity by the
general public. How. ii is asked. can
II be possible for the human features
to be Transmitted over an electric wire
and be invisible in their passage?
Well, perhaps no one may be compe-
tent yet to answer the question, but
the fact that we do not understand 1t.
and that we may not believe 1t is no
evidence that 1t cannot be done. SO
many strange things have happened
within the memory OF people now liv-
ing that we have little cause to be in
credulous about anything, and he who
asserts that anything is impossible is
taking large chances on futurity.
When Professor Morse began to talk
electric telegraph he was regarded as
visionary, if not a crank. The idea
that messages could be sent over
wire, across land and water, across
States and continents, and be read at
the other end of the vie was looked
on as preposterous, but he had conf
dence in himself and his invention and
we know the result. Although the
first message was sent but little over
three score years ago the invention has
developed until its possibilities and
capabilities are almost without limit
And 20 1t was about electric lights,
about the photograph, about the tel
ephone. and others 1t was not con-
sidered feasible to produce steady and
brilliant lights by electricity which
would supercede other methods of ar
tificial lighting, but we see that 1t
was done. 1t was not thought posi-
BILE to engrave as 1t were, the human
voice and put it in a machine so that
the machine would repeat the Ian
guage and tones, but we can hear this
alleged impossibility repeated every
wonders. 1t was not thought to be
humanity possible to sit In your house
or office and talk in your natural
voice to persons miles away but we
are doing that thing all over the world
and think nothing # It,
And so II has been with other things
that people could not believe or COM
prehend until they had the proof and
knew that there as no humbug about
1t; and so 1t may be with other things
that now seem impossible We do
not understand how the human voice
can be photographed, nor do we see
how the human form and features can
be sent over a wire, but our unbelief
Is no proof of impossibility. When we
see these things done we will believe
in them and will probably wonder why
we ever doubted.

VIOLATING NATURE.

Like many others who are unusually
gifted in certain directions Mr.. Thorn
as A. Edison makes the mistake of try
ing to lay down a general rule, found
ed on his own personality and habits,
to govern all other people. For exam
pie, he averages only four or five hours
sleep out of the twenty-four and con-
tends that it is enough and that any
more is a waste of time.
Mr. Edison makes the mistake of
assuming that all men can be govern
ed by his own example. "Dost thou
think, because thou art virtuous, there
shall be no more cakes and ale?" in
auires Sir Toby in Shakespeare's
Twelfth Night. and most people will
incline to make something like the
same inquiry of Edison. Does he think
that because he requires little sleep
the rest of US shall cut 1t out and con-
tent ourselves with but half of what
a healthy and busy man requires? II
will not do to apply one rule or meas
ure to all men. Most OF them can do
enough work in nine or ten hours of
each day, ana most OF them require
at least twice as much sleep as he
allows himself. The time may como
when he will discover that his long
continued dregard of the laws and re-
puirements of nature Will bring it's
reward, even though he may now scout
the idea of such a finish. Nature will
demand pay for all violations of her
laws and she is apt to get it in the
and
