WALLA WALLA, Dec. 81
Henry Cochran, aged IA, barred his
thigh to the surgeons knife yes
terday and had nine long strips of
skin taken therefrom and grated
onto the arm of his S-year-old
sister, who had her arm burned
recently while playing with
matches.

then slowly pale again-and the
storm broke. One after another
they rose and protested, hoarsely,
in the voice of tears, that they
were willing to suffer 'perseeu-
ton unto death rather than to
violate the covenants which they
had made in holy places with
the women who had trusted them.
One after another they offered
themselves for any sacrifice but
this betrayal of the women and
children to whom they owed an
everlasting faith. Not petty
word was uttered. Their thought
was not for themselves. Their
grief was not selfish.
when they had done, my
father rose again. Under the
commanding persuasion of his
voice / saw the determination OF
their resistance begin to falter
and relax. President Woodruff
called on me to speak.
My brother rose, when / conclud-
ed. And with a manful brevity he
submitted because it was the will
of the Lord. The others fol-
lowed. Not one referred to the
equivocal language of the mani
festo or questioned 1t. They ac-
copied it as a revelation from God
made through the prophet of the
church.
Joseph f. Smith was one OF
the last to speak. With face like
wax, his hands outstretched, in an
intensity of passion that seemed
as If it must sweep the assembly
he declared that he had covenant
ed at the altar of Gods house, in
the presence of his Father, to
cherish the wives and children
whom the Lord had given him.
They were more to him than life
They were dearer to him than
happiness. He would rather
choose to stand, with them, alone
prosecuted - prescribed - out
lawed-to wait until God in his
anger should break the nation
with His avenging stroke. But
"He dropped his arms. He
seemed to shrink in his command
ing stature like a man stricken
with a paralysis of despair. The
tears came to the panied con-

successful appeal to President

presidency.
THE portraits in oil of the
dead presidents, martyrs and
prophets of the church looks
down upon us.
President Woodruff stood un-
der them, so old and other

their circle rather than ours; and
he spoke In a voice of feeling for
usy but with simple finality that
sounded the very note of fate.

President Woodruff's asking one
of the brethren to read the mani

enough, according to one physician,
to cause the death of two or three

Man Found Between CharlestOwn, n

Springfield, Feb S.-John La
Plante, a middle aged man having
employment in Springfield, was ta-
ken to the Hanover, N. H., hospital
this afternoon by DR.. G.. w. Locke,
where the fingers ON one hand will
probably have to be amputated and
possibly those on the other.
1t appears that LaPlante left
Springfield Sunday afternoon for
Charlestown, ~ H., and in some way
obtained some liquor becoming sc
intoxicated that he could not keep
inside out of the cold. He was seen
by Charletown people Sunday after
noon, but no one thought that he was
in any danger However, when the
midnight car returned to Springfield
he was taken on it and it was found
that both of his hands were frozen.
Medical aid was summoned and it
was seen at once that he would have
to lose his fingers.

BURLINGTON BOY DIES.
Son of Rev. DIR. Bliss Injured While
at Play and Dies Later.

Burlington, Feb. 6.-George, the
eleven-year-old son of Rev. DR..
George Y. Bliss, rector of st. Pauls
Episcopal church, met death Satur-
day afternoon in peculiar manner.
With William Buckley, companion,
about the same age, he visited the
home of H. H. Wheeler at South Bur
lington in the morning and spent the
day with Carl Wheeler. The boys
were playig in a pile of sawdsut,
when Bliss fell into a chute leading
to the ice house. His lungs filled
with fine dust and sand. He was ex-
tricated soon and thought little of the
i'll effects. Later in the day he be-
came worse and died. The boy was
unusually bright and promising. His
parents are prostrated.
