Ten good healthy swats off the de-
livery of Lundin were chiefly respon-4l
sible for the defeat of the Islanders at
the hands of Peoria yesterday. They
came at the proper time to do the
most harm, and the wonder is that the
score was only to 0. The visitors.
opened in the first inning with a pair
of two-sackers that gave them one
run. Lee, the first man up, popped
one out into center that bowers
couldn't field in time to stop him from
reaching the middle bag. Lee hung on
third while the next man went out,
and then Rohn pasted one to left CEN
ter that brought in Lee and put him
self on second. They scored again in
the third on three hits and an error
by Eng. Wolfe, Landry and Rohn all
hit safely, but Wolfe was put out try
ing to get on third on the hit follow
ing his. Landry stole second and went
to third on Rohn's hit. He kept right
on going and landed safely because
Eng failed to even touch the perfect
throw that Murphy sent in to cut him
off Eng retired at this point be-
cause Landry in crossing the plate had
spiked him enough to tear his shoe
and hurt his foot. Gilmore took his
place behind the pan.

pounded out his second hit and brought
j him in. Wilder made a break for the
lplate after crossing third, and the
throw to the plate by Swain was sc

bags and tagged. Another score was
added to the list of the visitors in the

i The champs reached third only twice
and were never dangerous to Wilder
who had them under control at al
times. Lundin made three-bagger in

given a walk, was safe at second OF
Novacek's out at first, and then stole

Bryan COrreCts Taft.

Mr. Taft charged Mr. Bryan with having changed
front the Philippine question and Mr.. Bryan pre-
sumed him to refer to the ratification of the peace
treaty with Spain, which he favored in opposition to
many democrats. Predicating reply on that sup
position, Mr.. Bryan said:
"The question presented at that time this :
Shall reject the treaty, continue the state of
and force Spain to recognize the independence of
the Philippines, shall ratify the treaty and
declare intention to recognize the independence
of the Philippines ourselves I took the position that
it was easier for to act alone than to force Spain
to do it., The Senate ratified the treaty and came
deciding in favor of the independence of the
Philippines that it required the vote of the Vice
President to defeat the resolution Had the resolu
ton received one vote should have been
saved than $500 100000 in expenses and saved
the of in the orient and the humilia
ton of having suspicion cast upon adherence
to the doctrines of the Declaration of Independence.
Mr.. Taft ought to explain whether he purposely
conceas the important part of my plan whether
he is really ignorant of the subject There has never
been day since the treaty ratified that could
not have made the promise of independence and
thus made friends of the Fipinos. No excuse could
be given for colonial policy except an excuse
which attacks the principles of self government"

This chapter also tells us about God having taken
the city of Enoch, Separating it from the earth,
having reserved it unto the latter days, the end of
the world" (verse 34). very sound and jealous
Mormon adds the interesting information (Which he
heard Brigham Young impart), that the Gulf of
Mexico was the original site of this ancient city.
Thus it is evident that considerable amount of

this holy city, and that if the source is considered
liable future writers of physical biographies should
embody this information.
But the manuscript from which this book was
translated and corrected by the spirit of revelation
Gas is claimed the title-page) could not conven-
iently be produced for public inspection and the

over worked if that explanation were to be again
attempted (to say nothing about the difficulty of get
ting witnesses" who would nearly all apostatize
if better offer should come along) Probably for
these reasons, we'll for the openly expressed
formerly that the people of the world would not
receive us if to go to them with different
Bible from the which they used, this revealed
translation" discarded by Brighamite Mormons,
and treated though they did not attach any inn
portance to the revelation claim. A later explain
alton of this action is the representation that Joseph
lite Mormons have been making more changes Cor
"corrections") upon their own responsibility Thus
one branch OF Mormons stands charged with 1ncon-
sstency, and the other with dishonesty. People who
are insearch of a new religion, take their
choice Possibly interesting variations of these
features may be found among the twelve
other Mormon divisions
AS recorded in Doctrine and Covenants, Section
1874 49, Joseph Smith tried to have his new transla-
ton" published unto the inhabitants of the earth"
but the Brighamtes have disregarded this nsruc-
ton Ito an individual, but which probably in

consistently feel obliged to resume a consistent
attitude towards this famous translator, by
ommendng the of this mutilated Bible.
