A Curious Incident.

Elder Duncan NJ. McAllister had a
remarkable experience In securing his
genealogy And the incident may
throw light on dark places for others
who are searching out their ancestry.
He had no record OF his family, except
his parents names. Some years ago,
he sent by Elder Lowe, who was going
to Scotland, the scant information he
had with instructions to pursue the
small clues as far back as possible. But
nothing was to be found. At last Elder
McAllister was called on a mission to
his native land, and he decided to see
what could be obtained Of his geneal-
ogy while absent. His mother was a
Mcneil, and he felt II he could trace
her line, the other might be found
close by. When Elder McAllister was
called on his mission, nc had absolute.
ly no knowledge regarding his ances-
tors, although he had prayed and
sought much therefor. AS Apostle f.
ID. Richards set Elder McAllister apart
he promised him that he should have
great satisfaction In acquiring geneal-
oglcal information regarding his an
cestors. At last Elder McAllister took
little journey up to the West High
lands, where his grandfather came
from. On arriving at Tarbort, on the
Null o'Cantrye In Argyleshire, he
found very old gentleman,a Mr., Don.
aid Mcfarland, who was a cousin Of
his mother. This old man spoke Gaelic
and very little English. But Elder.
McAllister heard from his lips the
curious story that his grandfather
Mcneil was a McTaggert; and when
he moved away from his natiye. place
from the western highlands ana went
down into the lowlands Of Scotland he
changed his name, for some unknown
reason, from McTaggert to Mcneil.
More than this, Elder McAllister was
taken 10 an old graveyard, where his
forefathers, McTaggerts and McAllis-
tiers, had been buried for over 200 years.
With these, and the clue TO changing
OF names, Elder MICA lister found over
5000 Of his ancestors. When he.began
working among the McCallster's, he
found that Elder Charles McAllis OF
Logan, father Of John A. McAIlister,
had covered most OF his ground, and so
he joined forces with the Logan family
and together they have redeemed their
forefathers' household"

THE A. c. OF U.IBOARD.

THE REPUBLICAN doesn't know, and
Is not surmisiDg a great deal.
There are those who insist that the
appointment Of W. W. Ritter Is an
opening wedge for the merging Of the
Two schools two years hence.
THE REPUBLICAN prefers to believe
that Governor Cutler made this ap.
pointment In the hope OF Mr.. Ritter
being able to remove the extreme jeal-
ousy that exists between the two in
stitutlons.
AS member Of both boards his op.
portunity along this line Is very great.
Until he proves by overt act that he
and the governor are in collision to
accomplish some dark and bloody deed,
THE REPUBLICAN prefers to accept
the assurance Of his friends that he
will "play fair"
1t is freely said that John @. Adams
was appointed only after being pledged
TO what is dubbed the "Widtsoe- Mer.
rill regime"
THE REPUBLICAN has no tangible
evidence OF any such collision, and

Such regime" might be CALLING
to many and unsatisfactory to most,
but the result OF any such regime OF
the probable action OF tie new board
in any instance is purely speculation.
1t can't be more than that at this
time.
The REPUBLICAN prefers to believe
that John G. Adams will sense his re.
sponsibiity to Utah's educational In.
terests and serve the people OF his
state rather than individual interests.
1t is said that Susa Young Gates has
wheels in her head and is anxious Ia
do somebody or something a terribly
bad turn, and intense partisans are
figuring that Mrs. McCune will be as
putty In her hands.
THE REPUBLICAN regrets that 1t Is
unacquainted with Sister McCune, but
we've seen her photo and give hel
credit for having few wheels OF hel

With the picture OF a pretty young

navy. and a long voyage to foreign
shores staring him in the face, he de-
serted his ship, and travelled the many
miles from New York to Hammond to
hold her in his arms once more.
He had just a few of the happiest
hours in his seventeen short years of
life when he was arrested by the stern
hand of the law and lodged in prison,
charged with being deserter from the
United States service. and torn from
her side will be returned to serve his
time in the brig.
The beautiful colored Autographs
posted in front of recruiting station
of Uncle Sam, picturing the life of the
man-of -warsman attracted young
Graves from his home in Hammond
and he enlisted about eight months
ago.
Dreams of His Return.
For time all went well and he pic
tured the greeting he would get from
his sweetheart back on the plains
when on his furlough he would return
with his natty uniform of blue and
the rolling walk of the sailor.
He was to get furlough at the end
of six months service, but in some
manner the young man was left out of
the list of the captain of the st. Louis
on which he was stationed.
The young fellow chafed at the de-
lay and when six months grew into
eight he was nearly beside himself. A
gruff lieutenant under whom he serv-
ed, bent on disciplining the recruits
made 1T all the harder for the boy. He
simply could not stand it, SO on shore
leave he took what money he had and
with his belongings hastily gathered
together, took the first train west.
Uncle Sam Wants Him Back.
He arrived in Hammond yesterday,
but previous to his arrival the fatal
telegraph instrument had told of his
desertion and Uncle Sam wanted him
back He had just a few short hours
with the girl he loved and for the
sight of her he was ready to stand the
fortunes of the brig, when the police
took him to the station house. They
were not rd-hearted. however, and
the boy and girl were allowed the
pleasure of each others company in
private for a few moments, although
the bars interviewed and it was not an
ideal lovers retreat. With breaking
hearts they said the last fond adieus
and Graves will be returned to New
York tomorrow. His ship, the St
Louis, is about to sail for a trip to
Europe and if Graves can be brought
to New York in time he will serve his
time aboard the ship. He is but II
years of age, a manly looking young
chap, but he did not understand what
the word "deserter" printed after his
name ON Uncle Sans roll meant, or he
would have waited for his furlough.
