KICKED BY BANK MULE
John Bell of the Blyth Mines Suffers
Serious Injury.

John Bell, aged about forty years.
was seriously injured at the Blyth
coal mine northeast of Oskaloosa
Tuesday morning about ten o'clock.
The man was kicked in the chest by
mule and was rendered helpless.
Three ribs over the heart were frac-

wife and two children.
One misfortune followed another
in getting the injured man to his
home here. A party started with him
and did not reach the city until last
evening. The miners train was at
Blyth when the accident occurred.
Bell was placed on stretcher and the
train started for Oskaloosa. On the
way out to the main line one of the
much annoyance and delay was exper-
fenced in getting the car on the
track. The hour was past three o'clock
when the train was again started for
Oskaloosa.
A physician was secured from Rose
Hill after it was found that the train
could not proceed. After a hurried
examination he administered a hypo-
dermic treatment to quiet the sufferer.
His suffering, however, when he
reached home was intense and he
was barely able to speak. Those who
stayed with the injured man and
brought him from Blyth to Oskaloosa
were John Wilson, Thomas Smith, son
CT the late George Smith, Ed Sparks
md James Howard.
Bell was driving at the time of the
accident. He was taking the place 9f
the regular driver for this particular
mule, tricky and treacherous ami
NAL, and was not as careful as he
would have been had he been on the
work regularly. The man was knock

interference of miners who were near
the scene of the happening, the out
come might have been even more ser

physicians think he will come out of

A BUDDHIST DEFENSE.

1t is stated in an article in the New
York Independent, that Buddhists of
India have taken up arms. metaphors
cally speaking. against Christianity
They are circulating tracts in which
the teachings of Christian missionaries
are severely criticized. One of these
Buddhist tracts commences:
NO person of any philosophical
acumen or clear perception of the ma
ture Of things can ever subscribe to
such a palpable absurdIty as tho an
thropomorphic monstroslty ycleped
the Christian God of the Bible. Hence
the rational. philosophical freethlnk-
ers and Buddhists entirely ignore his
existence. relying sololy upon the
eternal principles of mind and matter
Inherent In the universe"
This same Buddhist writer proceeds:
THE earth was created in six days,
while all other worlds, suns and
moons. were created In one day. Thus
our earth. although In comparison
with the rest of the universe less than
the milllonth part OF a grain OF sand.
required six times ms long for Its
creation as the whole universe be-
sides"
Does not that sound very much liloa
the attacks by some Christian minis
ters upon "Mormonism 2" When those
ministers talk about the monstrosity
of the Mormon God and tho alb
surdity of Mormon" conceptions of
the universe, they do not realize, per-
haps, that they. themselves. are tho OBJ
ject of ridicule by Buddhist critics
who refuse to accept what to them
appears to be "a palpaIblc albSurrlity,"
referring to the "anthropomorpnic
monstroslty" of the Christian God.
and the alleged contradiction between
science and the Mosaic account Of
the creation. 1t all depends on the
point of view. But tho fact Is that
Mormon theology is in fun accord
with the Scriptures, and reason. and
Is less liable to attacks than the sec
tartan theology which is largely
modified puganlsm since the days of
the church fathers who accepted
Christianity without fully relnuuish-
Ing the teachings of the philosophical
schools In which their early Views had
been nodded.
II is almost funny to hear Budhhists

KEEP TO THE POINT.

The daily spokesman FOR the City ad-
minlstration and apologist for vice is
making considerable noise about "po-
lygamy." hoping to divert the attention
of its readers from the Infamous traffic
in souls that Is going on In protected
"stockade." But this is all In vain
Polygamy Is a dead Issue. By the
Manifesto the practice was relegated
to the past. as far as the Church is con-
cernod. And there Is nothing new to
say on that question. The Church is
keeping all promises and pledges sa-
cred. AS fast as polygamous families
are dissolved by death, the institution
itself disappears. With possible In
fractions OF the law the Church has
nothing TO do. except in 80 far as viola
tions of the Church rule are brought
before the proper Church courts, In a
regular manner, for purposes of dis
clplinc. But. as we have said before.
.hc Church does not sanction OF In any
manner approve the infractlon OF the
law. a thousand dollars. we believe,
can still be claimed by anyone who can
prove case OF polygamy with the
sanction of the Church. In recent years
So the Tribune dodge of bowling "po-
lygamy" in defense of and apology for
prostitution Is both dishonest and
futile.
In this City VIC arc confronted by the
fact that hypocrItes who banded them
selves together for the purpose OF de-
prlyng the majority of the people OF
Utah of all political rights, and who
sought to Justify their course by de-
claiming against polygamy. now arc
permitting a corporation TO sell Infamy
In protected shop and advertise It
throughout the State. Notwithstanding
the laws are against It. md the off,
GERS are under oath to maintain the
law. That is the point And from
| that point the Tribune cannot eet
away. no matter how 1t squirns and
twists 1t is pinned down like a bug
| on board.
Nor can the City officials get away
from the fact that "stoclkade" -four
