Women Beat on Pans.

Soon band of women, beating flu
riously upon dishpans, swooped down
upon the meeting and easily made
enough noise to drown the speakers
out They paraded about the crowd,
keeping up fearful din. Finally some
Mormon sympathiZer sought to break
up the demonstration by throwing
water on the women. A majority of
the men present resented this and the
two factions clashed In a general me-
lee. The anti-Mormons proved the
stronger, and, signaling the women to
cease their noise, they took matters
into their own hands in manner firm
but most effective. Blows were struck
but soon the anti-Mormon faction was
in complete control They captured
the missionaries and, using force. in
sisted on their leaving town at ftlce.
1t was the only thing they could do,
and once they were released, they
took to their heels. The mob then
dispersed, the people returning quiet
ly to their homes.
The matter will be the sole topic of
conversation in Kamrar, however. for
some time to come. A goodly majority
of the town seems to uphold the wo-
men in their action, but there are
some who insist the Mormons were
clearly within their rights and should
not have been molested.

Mormons Determined.

The Mormons refused to capitulate,
however, without struggle. They
spent the Afternoon distributing litera-
ture about the town Word was passed
quietly about that the women would
make good their threat in the evening
If an attempt was made to hold
public meeting. And SO about o'clock
big crowd Of men gathered on the
street. The women went about carry
ing out their plans quietly, but none
the less effectively. Just before the
street meeting started, representa-
tive woman OF the town went to the
Mormons and warned them that ii
they wished to avoid a scene and
trouble, they better desist from the
meeting and take the evening north
bound train out of town. The mission
aries refused however, and started
their meeting.

PREACHERS BEAT IT"
Town Of Kamrer viii Point Back to
Incident as One of Important
Events Of Its
History.

Following a near riot in the streets
of Kamrar, two Mormon preachers,
who were attempting to hold street
meeting, were forcibly elected from
the town by score Of angry men.
They we're forced to leave on foot
and got away none too soon to pre-
vent a pitched battle between the
vigilance committee and the handful
of Mormon supporters.
Trouble began to brew in the after
noon upon the arrival in town of the
Mormon missionaries. Some months
ago the women of Kamrar had decid-
ed to permit no attempt to teach Nor
monism in the town. The minute it be-
came known that the Mormons we're
in town and expected to hold street
meetings determined opposition de-
veloped. Several of the prominent bust
ness men went quietly to the mis-
sionaries and told them the women of
of the town were determined they
should not speak. The men were urged
strongly to leave on the evening train
and make no attempt to hold meet
inga.

it.
For forty years, for thousand con-
Germs, we have acted as selling advisers.
These concerns, in most part, domi-
nate their lines. They are managed by
some of the ablest men whom the BUSH
ness world has developed
In all Of those thousand selling ex-
periences there is no plan or problem,
no mistake or success, with which we
are not familiar. -
Our business has been, in this vortex
of experiment, to learn the right and
the wrong. y Then to pick from the
right the one best way-the quickest,
cheapest, most efficient way - to Rc-
complain each selling purpose.
Our new book illustrates, by many
examples, how much such mine of
experience means.
A good many advertisers guess at
conditions. They act on unfounded
assumptions.
We have found that our guesses
and we guess pretty welfare as often
wrong as right.
So we now make canvass from house
to house, from store to store, from town
to town, before we map out campaign.
We learn if people will buy, and why
they will buy. We measure up trade
conditions.
Our book points out how Information
has saved many situations. How many
successes, otherwise inconceivable, have
been won without risk. How many

SELL TIES TO PAY FOR TRIP.
Two Oklahoma Girls on Unique Va
cation Visit Washington.

Two pretty Oklahoma girls. who are
making a tour of the United States, and
who are paying their travelling expenses
visit, arrived in Washington last even
ing and registered at the home of the
Young Women's Christian Association.
They are Miss Sue Tye and Miss Car
rie Milholland. of Oklahoma City. Both
are stenographers. They started their
trip early in May, and stopped first at
Little Rock, Ark, then Memphis, where
they remained several days. Nashville,
Tenn, was the next stop, then they
passed to Chattanooga, Atlanta, Augusta,
and then Charleston. Then they went
to Savannah. where they took a steamer
to Baltimore, arriving there last week
Both young women are about nineteen
years old, and they carry with them
several thousand homemade endless"
ties. There is a trick about the cravats
which can only be ascertained when the
ties are purchased.
"Of course" said Miss Tye last even
ing, "some persons wonder at US trav-
cling around this way, but We wanted
to see the East, and not having much
money we decided to cover our expenses
by selling cravats. We have been sue
cessful and find the experience of visit
ing cities greatly to our advantage not
only in an educational way, but in a
social way. The generosity of the South
ern people has impressed u.s."
They will remain here about a week,
and to-day they will visit business offices
selling their ties.

New York, Aug. 1.-The engagement of
Col. John Jacob Astor to Miss Madeleine

seventh street. was announced to-day by
the parents of the young woman. No
date has vet been set for the wedding,
according to Mr.. Force, who is the head
Of a shipping and forwarding firm at
Front street and Old Slip. At Col. As
tors office, 23 West Twenty-sixth street,
it was said that Col. Astor had con-
firmed the announcement.
Miss Force is in her nineteenth year
and very pretty. She was recently
graduated from Miss Spencer's school
in this city. Her fiance is forty-seven
years old and was divorced from his
wife, who has always had the reputation
of a great beauty, year ago last
March.
Col. AstOr had been a little reticent
about allowing people know about his
engagement, because only about eighteen
months had elapsed since Mrs. Ava
Willing Astor got her decree signed.
That decree forbade Col. Astor to marry
again within his wife's lifetime.
Miss Force herself confirmed the an
nouncement when seen at her home this
