The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1908-09-05

According to Elk. Gov. Terrell, the
political situation is a little peculiar
The law is that in order to secure the
electoral vote candidate must carry
a majority of the votes cast failing
in which, the election is thrown into
the legislature. Mr. Terrell says.
Tom Watson, the populist candidate,
will poll proba1y 10000 votes. The
independence Party. because of the
personal following of John Temple
Graves, will get a vote of 5000 more
perhaps, while the Republican party
will poll it's usual vote.

day morning and was met at the
depot by Mayor o. w. Sparks Of
Galena, T. J. Morrow and w. w,
Scott of this city and taken tc
the grounds in an automobile,
where he was entertained. AT
o'clock he addressed a large crowd
at the amphitheatre. He said he
would not talk politics, because
if he did, this reunion would be
broken up before night, as he be-
lieved the. South was right, and
that the people there might moi
agree with him. He made a good
talk on the fundamental princi'
pies of government and other
topics and entertained the crowd
for over an hour.

Last Friday between IL and Il

Hopkins displayed the same
nerve he has maintained ever
since the deed was committed,
and declared he was innocent oil
the crime of murder, claiming
the girl fired the shot, but such
talk is not believed by anyone ia
miliar with the case.
Lena Craig was a school teach
er. 10 years of age. living near
Racine, Mo-, and went with Hop
kins, VINO was over IS years old
and had a family of children al
most grown. He desired the girl
to marry him, but her parents
objected, and it is said he had
threatened to kill her if she did
not marry him.

utterances today seemed to come

or any other question, but those
utterances today seemed to come
from far beyond the preacher.
They came to me as a real and
awful prophecy. More astonish-
ing than all-and you may laugh
if you will seemed to be
thrilled in my very soul with
the conviction that ! am in some
way to have tremendous respon-
sibilities in that coming and
awful war.
Mr.. Lincoln's solemn manner
impressed his hearers, as usually
he was the happiest in any COM
pany. 1t was only few years
until Father" Akers' prophecy
and Mr.. Lincoln's remarkable
impression were fully verified.
Lincoln, himself a prophet,
readily recognized a voice of a
brother prophet, and readers OF
the little story may judge of the
value of the impressive words OF
DR.. Akers, as we'll rs their rela.
ton to the then failure of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
And here is the revelation OF
the Lord through Joseph, the
Choice Seer:
Verify thus saith the Lord
concerning the wars that will
shortly come to pass, beginning
at the rebellion of South Caro-
lima, which will EVENTUAL,
terminate in the death and
misery of many souls. The days
will come that war will b.
poured out upon all nations, be.
ginning at that place; for be.
hold, the Southern States shall
be divided against the Northern
States, and the Southern States
will call upon other nations,
even the nation of Great Britain,
as it is called, and they shall
call upon other nations, in order
to defend themselves against
other nations; and thus war
shall be poured out upon all
nations. And it shall come to
pass, after many days, slaves
shall rise up against their
masters, who shall be marshaled
and disciplined for war. And il
shall come to pass also that the
remnants who are left of the
land will marshal themselves,
and shall become exceedingl,
angry, and shall vex the Gentiles
with a sore vexation; and thus,
with the sword, and by blood
shed, the inhabitants of the
earth shall mourn; and with
famine, and plague, and earth
luakes, and the thunder 1oi
heaven, and the fierce and vivid
lightning also, shall the in
habitants of the earth be made
to feel the wrath and indigna-
ton, and clustering hand of an
almighty God, until the con-
sumption decreed, hath made a
full end of all nations; that the
cry of the Saints and the blood
of the Saints shall cease to come
up into the ears of the Lord OF
Sabaoth, from the earth, to be
avenged of their enemies.
Wherefore, stand ye in holy
places, and be not moved until
the day of the Lord come; for
behold it cometh quickly, saith
the Lord. Amen"

Old Prophets.


The following clipping from
the Chicago Times is valuable
as showing ID how few there
we're prior to 1860 who thought
it possible that the United States
would ever have a civil war over
any question, and co how indis-
tinct, imperfect and limited in
detail were the premonitions and
predictions of that few. In con-
trast with the clipping, we place
the prophecy of Joseph Smith
which he gave to the church De-
cember 18th, 1882, which was
often talked of by the Saints up
to 1851 when it was published in
the Pearl of Great Price, in
Liverpool, England, and in the
Compendium, page 103, by F. d.
Richards, Liverpool, England.

locations since. The latter, 1t
will be observed, is a thus

and lower of making known to
man the coming of that terrible
calamity.

L1NcoLN's PREMoNITIoN.
Every now and then some
good story hobs up about honest
old ABE" All of them are not
of a strongly marked religious
character, but occasionally some
thing is said or written which
serves to show the more. serious
and even deeply rnligious side
of Lincoln's personal disposition.
AT a recent ''harvest.home"
celebration near Lewiston,
Illinois, the Rev. Richard Haney
is said to have told a singular
story about Abraham Lincoln
not elsewhere published. Some
years before the war DIR. Peter
Akers, who had the reputation
of preaching very long but very
able sermons, had an appoint.
ment to preach at place not
far from Springfield, Illinois. in
which latter place lived Mr..
Lincoln. A carriage-load OF
lawyers including Mr.. Lincoln,
went cut to hear the learned
Akers, whose fame was then
well known. The story, as told
by Uncle Dick" Hauey, runs
b thus:
Akers' theme was THE Sin Of
Slavery" He portrayed It's
horror in vivid colors. He
prophesied that God would wash
away the crime of crimes ir
! blood. He predicted the war
!: and with prophetic accuracy
described its terrors. But he

was a startling and thrilling
sermon. Few hearers sympa-
thized with the preachers views.
They regarded the sermon as
the idle frothings of a harmless
old abolitiouist. As the lawyers
drove home they chatted gaily
about the absurd fears OF the
preacher. They expected to see
a railway built to the moon be-
fore any civil war would happen
= in this country. But Lincoln
was silent and thoughtful. At
last they rallied him.

Abe?" they asked.

whom he then introduced. Mr..
Bruner made a very earnest and
forcible speech in which he gave
his conception of the needed
qualities of a district attorney
He promised in case of election
to fill the duties of the office in
such manner that he would leave
the Office at the end of his term
with as clean a record as when he
entered it. Before closing he
made a short talk in French. He
made a most favorable impress
sion and was frequently ap
plauded.
DR.. L. o. Clark spoke briefly
telling of his knowledge of Mr.
Bruner, whom he had knowr
from childhood, and made /;
special point that Mr.. Brunei
was a man of tirmness, that when
ever he believed d thing wa.
right, he would do it, and that ir
addition he had high concep
tion of duty and responsibility
He believed Howard Brunel
to be the right man for the Office
of district attorney.
Maj. P. L. DeClouet followed
and said some strong words o
praise of Mr.. Bruner. Withou
anyway questioning the fitness
of the other two candidates fol
the Office, he and Mr.. Bruner's
friends wanted to see him elect
ed on his own merits, and de
clared that with William Camp

be enforced and justice given t.
