END OF WORLD
PREPARED FOR
BY MilIerites, and Many Ludi-
crous Events Transpire in
Boonvifle.

Preceding every great national war.
it has been predicted that the strug-
gle was simply the forerunner Of the
end Of the world. This prediction,
based upon what is said TO be Biblical
authority, touching the present war,
is, in sense heretofore, for there
never has been war, never Will be
one, civil or national, that has not
been, or will not be, the end Of the
world to greater or less number Of
individuals.
"Only short time ago since noted
in the news of the day." says Cap
tain F. NJ. Pasegate, "that a Millerite
prophet had come to the front With
the statement that In 1874 the incep-
ton Of the end Of the world had been
inaugurated and at that time con-
tinuous Judgment day was instituted

ent almost world wide struggle Ger
tainly preshadowed the beginning Of
the end

Of the widespread uneasiness. existing
among certain classes Of people DUR
ing that year. The great comet Of
1874 seemed to give the Millerltes
license to become more blatant. Even
now, after the lapse of more than sew
cnty years, 1t is with smile that /
recall some of the ludicrous incidents
that transpired in the little city Of
Boonyille, Mo-, as the date set for the
fulfllment of the prophecy ap-
preached.

an effort to forestall the fiery chariot
IN which the elect were to ascend to
the presence of the Judge by using a
flying or bird machine, as he styled 1t.
He worked faithfully for weeks upon
the contriyance and only few days
before the all absorbing event was
expected to materiallze hauled It ont
onto a platform on top Of his barn to
give 1t a trial.
"At the first flop the machine fell
to the ground, resulting In q broken
neck for the man. To him the end
Of the world had come, the consoa-
ton to his friends and relatives being
that he had at least escaped any pos
sible suffering that the flames might
intlict. At last the day upon which
the prophecy was expected to culnl-

Astute politicians, in Chicago for
the meeting Monday and Tuesday Of
the national committees subcommit-
Tee, were in substantial agreement
that the tabulation Of relative dele
gate strength as between instructions
and nOninstructiOns can be fOrmllat-
ed as well now as on June 8, when
the West Virginia delegates will be
elected, the day before Chairman
I1illes will call to order the Coliseum
convention.
This summary would show Sherman
in the lead Of instructed delegates,
backed by the fifty-eight Of Illinois.
Cummins will have fifty-six, combin-
ing his state of Iowa with instructions
he got by way Of the Minnesota pri-
maries.

Fairbanks will have Indiana and ten
Kentucky votes, making total of
forty. Burton is credited with OhiO's
forty-eight and no other INSTRUCTED
delegates. Senator William Alden
Smith is likely to get the instructions
for thirty Michigan delegates. The
Pennsylvania instructions are yet in
doubt .....
Col. RoosevelSs friends will not be
surprised if there is a sudden combi-
nation in Pennsylvania that may in
struct the seventy-siX delegates for
Roosevelt. ...
The Kansas and the Oklahoma con-
ventions were the important features
of the Republican week just ended.
There were factional jangles in both
of them. After all is said and done,
the chances are that David w. Null

will control the destinies of the Kan
