Much Enthusiasm.

Gradually the enthusiasm grew. Several
different songs were started in different
parts OF the hall. They didn't seem to
harmonize. Here and there delegate
started for the front OF the hall. The
colonel recognized a few of them and
raised his bandana in n salute. That
brought more delegates forward. A Penn
sylvanian who bore aloft huge ring
with a black slouch hat suspended in IT.,
led rush TO the platform. In another
minute all the state standards were on the
way. The delegates surged TO the front,
Women stood on chairs and cfeered. Some
of them wept Others laughed.
Presently Medill Mccormick, who acted
as the property man Of the gathering,
went out on the bridge that extended to-
ward the audience and began picking out
personal friends OF tho colonel and invit-
ing them to come up and shake hands.
Two Of them were J, c. Gilmer and c. II.
James, colored delegates from West Vir-

BIG CATERPILLAR
HOPELESSLY DRUNK
Some Enthusiastic Temperance

Will some kindly disposed members
of the local W, G., T, U. please call at
the Deseret museum to consult with
Curator Talmage concerning ways and
means of redeeming a shockingly in
ebriated caterpillar, which was pre-
sented to the museum yesterday by h.
Ekker, sober and industrious citizen !
Curator Talmage fervently hopes
they will. He declares he is not con
Quoting n Keeley institute, and has no
means of reforming the hilarious worm.
The specimen arrived at the museum
in whisky bottle, from which all
the contents had not been carefully
drained. To all appearances the
caterpillar took to the whisky
like a duck to water, and ar
rived in Il leery eyed condition He
was iusolontly, helplessly and hopeless
Talmagc, who attempted to eutice him
from the bottle, the disreputable worm

question"
The colonel proceeded TO state at some
length and with much obvious embarrass-
ment that he was all for letting in the
northern negroes and all for keeping out
southern negroes. Just why, he failed

from the lower OF the Mexican Mormon
colonies and they stayed behind to pro-
tect their property from the rebels until
they left the country.
Seeing that they could not cope with
the bandits, they dug up the cached
arms and ammunition which they had re-
fused to surrender and started over the
