NNE Of the little known chapters OF
~ American history an episode
which Is cloaked In mystery even to-
day concerns itself with the massa-
ere Of party of emigrants, which took
place near Mountain Meadow, in Utah,
In September, 1857, and for participR-
ton In which John d. Lee was exc
cuted some twenty years later.
About a hundred and forty men,
women and children were crossing the
continent at the time, on their way
from Missouri to the coast, and stopped
In Mountain Meadow, about $50 miles
west of Salt Lake City, to rest their
horses and to permit the members OF
the party to recuperate from the strain
Of their journey up to this point. Fa-
miliar with the dangers of cross-coun-
try travel, they arranged their wagons
In q circle with the women and chill
dren inside, and the men taking turns
at watching for signs Of possible at
tack. Two days. passed without any
indication Of trouble, and the emigrants
were on the point Of setting out on the
next portion of their trip when their
outposts reported that apparently
hostile Indians had made their APP
pearance at number Of points near
by. -...--
Little by little the enemy's scouts
crept closer, and then, as one Of the
Missourians forced the issue by hold
ing up his hand as signal for peace
full conference, the sharp crack Of q
rife shot made 1t plain that the In
dams were intent upon an attack,
rather than a parley or the exchange
Of goods. Hardly an hour Of the en-
counter had passed, however, before 1t
became plain that fully half Of the hos
tile force were not Indians, but whites
-Mormons who had Joined forces with
the redskins in order to effect an ex-
termination Of the visitors who, they
feared, would undermine their influ-
ence In this section Of the country.
The combination Of Indian cunning
and a constant stream Of ammunition
supplied by the whites, was almost too
much for the little band Of emigrants,
but, having been careful to pitch their
camp In a spot which commanded all
the available approaches, they stood
by their guns and resisted the siege for
feur full days and nights, Finally, on

The Appleton Press credits the result of the
election to the radical republican newspapers of Min
neapolis, St. Paul and Duluth and also the radical
republicans of the country press Yet same pa
speak of the election radical" victory
in some and nearly in others. Chapman

of "85 progressves in the House who will
speaker while the Wilmar Tribune refers to the Al
Leaguers and their allies in the House being
gressives. Why all this hodgepodge in the plain
United States 1t is cheap deception by whomsoever
used. The word progressive" has been claimed by so
many party units that it has become meaningless The
word radical in its political pertains those hold
ing extreme views and like the word conservative and
the word liberal is comparative in its meaning AS
compared with the Republican party the Nonpartsan
League is radical but compared with the Socialist
party is Conservative though both the latter may
be defined as belonging to the radical group AS COM
pared with them, both the Republican and Democratic
parties belong to the Conservative groups Historical
y the Democratic party the conservative party of the
country but since the in 1896 been so
with internal pains that has been alternately radical
and conservative For that Democratic party

the nth day. they left. the shelter Of
their wagons under the promise Of
protection by John D. Lee, Mormon
bishop and Indian agent. Within the
hour, however, all the adults and chill
dren over seven years of age had been
slaughtered in cold blood, and IL Of
the younger children were then dis
tributed among Mormon families, but
were afterwards restored to their rel
atives through the action Of the gov
eminent.
When, after an investigation Of the
matter by officials Of the War depart
ment, Lee was arrested and charged
with murder, he implicated a number
Of the highest officials In the Mormon
church in his confession Of treacheryr

will be interesting to watch what the Con-
gress will with the much and discussed Esch
Cummns railroad law. The railroad men condemn it
because it interferes with their debating their
wages, and the farmers condemn 1t because of high
freight rates. Now just what will the result be?

The Suit Against The |. c.
Railroad.

| have received many letters and
petitions from citizens of Tishomin-
go county referring to some snp-
posed suit against the |. G. Rail-
rad; and asking me to abolish the
office of State Revenue Agent be-
cause of his alleged activities agains'
the railroads. So | call attention
to the following facts: Stokes v
Robinson, State Revenue Agent has
no such suit, and has never entered
such suit. Eight or ten years
ago Attorney General Ross Collins
sued the |. G.. and the Y. & M. Y
railroads because of an alleged H.
legal merger. This suit was held
up while the Federal Government
controlled the railroads; but Attor
ney General Frank Robinson is now
in charge and the suit is pending
before The courts. Since the suit
was first started Congress has pass
ed law ermitting the said rail
roads to combine, so the question
now before the courts is not to dis
solve the merger but to determine
if fine shall be imposed for vio-
lating the laws of the state at the
time of the alleged merger.
1t is not the business of the leg
islature to interfere in this suit.
Respectfully,

The people at and near Pader
are and should be very thankful for
the few days splendid weather we
enjoy at this writing, because of its
favor to many who have colds and
pneumonia. The Paden school
was recently suspended for the
greater part of week on account
Of so much colds being among the
children.
Mr.. G. X. Nixon's little son very
narrowly escaped pneumonia this
week.
Rev H. G. Montague is also very
i'll at present.
Many others would be sick, but
we say we haven't the time. We
are all kept busy whether we are
at work or not. Some wonder
ing if Mr.. Ford will get to buy the
Muscle Shoals project. and If be
ioes, will that give Mr. me a job, .
Others wonder If our dear old Uncle
Sam is ever going TO pinch off a
few nickels from his stupendous
wad and hand it down to the ex-
service men. Yet others wonder
how they will ever pay their taxes
this year, and by the calendar, the
time of wondering in few days
will turn to feeling of actual
anxiety. Many others wonder how
they will get the funds to buy a
nav car like Smiths or Jones; or
how much Mrs. Tattler paid for her
new rug and they should like to
hEow where they can get one that
costs a few dollars more, also how
much did Mrs. Talk Lots surt
enough" pay for her new fur, and
why in the world Mr.. Dunnwho and
old maid So and So don't marry.
Now l hope you haven't all OF
these things to terrify you
haven't. The main one thing
wonder is how in the name of every
hing can people wonder SO many
thing? They must have wonder
fu wonderful wondering, wonder
brain " Few Clothes.

whom are land owners, big corpo.
