[oljolo] co NOT MUCH MARRIED CRANKS, What the Latter Day Saints Really in Their Faith To, A Mormon camp meeting at Lake Manawa! That Is about as definite an idea &o the aver- age of the unshurched holds concerning the gathering of the “Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,” as the official title reads. Those who visit the camp meeting from curfosity to see a lot of long- halred eranks, whove tendency to a plurality of wives is only restricted by fear of the law, are doomed to disappointment, For the most part the campers are simple, honest, sedate, country people, and the serv- fees are as devoid of sensationalism as the Westminster catechism. It must not be in- ferred, though, that there is nothing of inter- est golng on. Every day there are three sermons, and some of the pulpiteers, espe- cially those booked for the evening service, are brilllant and brainy enough to entertain any audienc The presence in the cit peculiar church causes discu of 50 many of this many inquiries and slons as to what they really do beli The most satisfactory answer is their creed itself, which is a rather Interesting bit of theology. It We believe and in_ His Holy Ghost. We belleve that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's trans- gression. We belie of Christ to_the I We b Faith {n 2. Repe 1 the n God, the Fternal Father, , Jesus Christ, and in ghé e that through the atonement 1 men may be saved by obedi s and ordinances of the g leve that these ordinances are: tod and in the Lord, Jesus Christ. tance. 3. Baptism by immersion nission of sins. 4, Laying on of hand for the gift of the Holy We belleve in the resurrection of the body: that the dead in Christ will rise first, and the rest of the dead will not live again until the thousand years are expired. 0. We believe in the doctrine of eternal judg- ment, which provides that men shall be Judged, rewarded, or punished, according to the degree of good or evil they shall have done. We believe that a man must be called of God and ordained by the laying on of hands of those who are In authority to entitie him to preach the gospel and ad- minister in the ordinances thereof. We believe in the same kind of ory tion that existed in viz, aposties ngelists, ete. We believe that in the bible is contained the word of God, 8o far as it is translated correctly, “We believe that the canon of scripture’ fs not full, but that God, by His spirit, will continue to reveal His word to_man until the end of time. We believe in the powers and gifts of the everlasting gospel. Viz., the gift of faith, discerning of spirits, prophecy, revelation, healing, visions, tongues and the interpreta- tion of tongues, wisdom, charity, brotherly loye, ete. We belleve that marriage fs ordained of God, and that the law of God provides for but 'one companion in wedlock, for either man or woman, except in cases where the contract of marriage Is broken by death or transgression. Consequently we believe that the doctrines of a plurality and a community of_wives are opposed to the law of God. We believe that in all matters of contro- versy upon the duty of man toward God and in reference to preparation and fitness for the world to come, the word of God should be decisive and the end of dispute, and that when God directs man should obey. We belleve that the religion of Jesus Christ, as taught in the ew Testament seriptires, will, if its precepts are accepted and obeved, make men and women better in the domestic circle, and better citizens of town, county and state, and consequently better fitted for the change which cometh at_death, We believe that men should worship God “spirit and fn truth,” and that such worship does not require a violation of the constitutional law of the land. The sermons delivered are all along these lines, and are so far hewed quite closely to the theological line. The title “‘reverend” is not known among them and “D.D.” and other sacred appendages are lopped off, and the preacher is at best an ‘“elder.” = The Mormon bible is used, this being practically the same as King James’ edition, but revised and corrected by Joseph Smith, who claims to have acted in this work under the spe- clal irspiration of God, who labored on it from 1830 to 1833. Yesterday morning Judge H. J. Hudson of Columbus, Neb., who for years was in the ministry, gave an interesting narration of personal’ experiences. Ip the afternoon Eider §. Butler of Fonta- nelle, who for years resided In Council Blufts, gave his many friends an opportunity to sex whether ha could talk gospel as well as ho used to talk shop. At 5 o'clock a number of converts were fm- mersed In Lake Manawa, the first religlous immersion in the history of the lake. Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'elock the scene will be repeated. Last evening Elder R. Etzenhouser of In- dependence, Mo., preached. At this morning's service Elder J. F. Min- tum of Nebraska City will preach on “Con- ditions Under Which the Meek Shall Inherit the Barth.” At 2:30 p. m. a Sunday school convention will be held, and in the evening there will be a sermon by Elder Mark H. Forscutt of Nebraska City, one of the most scholarly men in the denomination.

Manager McDonald and his co-laborers have arranged a great exhibit of their corn shelling and hay pressing machinery, and they are enter- taining the crowds by showing everything in actual operation. The farmer is recelving practical lessons in economy by being shown how easy it is to bale twelve tons of hay a day with a press that sells for the price of less than ten ton presses. The presse are being run by both horse power and steam. There are many new features in the sheller goods that catch and hold the attention of the farmer. These machines are all in active operation, from the light running little hand sheller on up through the varying horse power to the ponderous steam machine whose cav- ernous maw yawns for corn by the carload, The Sandwich people display a full line of all their goods. This s the fortieth time they have come before the people in the name of ‘the original Sandwich. No jobber has been able to get hold of dollar's worth of their product. The Omaha exhibit of the Sandwich Is much larger and finer than that made at Des Molnes last week. It was the center of attraction at the Iowa state fair and they want to more than duplicate it for their Ne- braska friends. The door is always open and a hearty welcome always awaits all. The exhibit is in charge of Manager C. W. Me- Donald and a full corps of Iowa and Nebraska traveling men, and they want to see every farmer who visits the falt and show him the highest attalnments in labor-saving and money-saving machinery. BEER 1S NOT PROPERTY, Cut-Of Saloonist Glven Several Hun- dred Dollars’ Worth of Free Deer, Judge Macy handed down a decision in the district court yesterday, which was very rem- iniscent of the good old times when the prohibitory law was in full force, and beer, whisky and all other intoxicating liquors wero fit only to be cast out and trodden under foot of men, or incidentally to be drank, The Krug Brewing company sold Anton and Barbara Bernecker several hundred dollars' worth of liquor and Bernecker paid for part of it. He gave a note for §240 and a mort- gago to secure the payment of the rest, but before the note became due, concluded he would not pay it. The brewing company commenced suit for $240, but Bernecker fought the claim, setting up as & counter- claim the sum of $314 for money which already been paid out for liquors. was tried a few days ago, and yesterday Judge Macy decided in favor of Bernecker, declaring the note and mortgage pald, and giving him judgment for $314 in addition, The Hardman plano wins many friends, HOMESEEKERS EXOU August Sep!

BROWN, Ticket Agent, Droken Surface on the Way to the Bridge to Ne Fixed with Cinders. The city council held a special meeting last evening. Mayor Cleaver and Councilmen Bar- stow, Brewick, Brown, Grahl, Greenshield Rishton, Shubert and Spetman were present. The evening was hot and the meeting was consequently short. The committee of the whole made a re- port recommending that repairs be made on the West Broadway paving by means of cin- ders. Superintendent Dimmock of the motor company had agreed to furnish 100 loads free and Ed Burke another hundred at 40 cents a load. The report was concurred in and the work ordered done undcr the super- vision of the street supervisor. There was found to be a difference in the grading estimate and the bill of Contractor Kline for the grading of Third street. It was referred back to the committee on streets and_alleys for doctoring. The engineer was instructed to lay a new | floor on the Sixth street Indian creek bridge. An adjournment was then taken until next Monday _evening, and the council reconvened as a committes of the whole to discuss the differences between the east end citizens and the motor company. W. A. Maurer stated that he and the other members of the citizens' committee had had a conference with the directors of the motor company, and found the company had been buflding new cars, buying new motors, anl wero disposed to do what was right. He asked that the committee be given thirty days longer In which to arrive at a settle- ment with the company. Brown and Shubert of the council wanted to make it sixty days, but thelr motion to that effect was unan- imously voted down, with only two trifi ng ex- ceptions, and on motion of Greeashields the thirty days wero granted as asked.

Superintendent Sawyer reported that Miss Badollet's room in the Washington avenue bullding was badly overcrowded, 127 pupils having been there the first week. Thirty of them have been transferred to other rooms, but Miss Bradollet's room, as well as some of the others, were still too full. He recom- mended that unless some better solution of the problem could be reached the pupils should be divided into two sections, one of which should attend in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The matter was re- ferred to the committee on teachers, with in- structions to report to the president. After reading and allowing a lot of bills the annual election of secretary came. T. C.

Twenty-seven ballots were taken before the effort was abandoned. Douglas Henk, H. G. McGee, T. C. Devol and Ralph Willlams were the bona fide can- didates, but more than a dozen others, in- cluding Grover Cleveland, were voted for. At midnight the board adjourned till next Monday night, when another attempt will be made to choose a treasurer. JUDGE WADE BLOCKED THE GAME. Three People Wanted Two Divorces, but All Were Disappointed. “Talking about divorces,” sald a young attorney of Councll Bluffs yesterday, while riding to Omaha in & motor, “Judge Wade of the law department of the State University of Towa had a difficult case to deal with not long ago, but he did so In a manner emi- nently satisfactory to all but the parties most intimately concerned. He was judge of the district court in litlon to occupying a chair In the university, One morning a woman came into court and wanted a divorce from her husband by default. She was in a burry, and when the judge told her to walt a few days she violently demurred. The judge told her that she need have no fear, she would surely get her divorce, only s must walt a few da: She at length de- parted in a very bad humor. “A little while later another woman pre- wented an application for a divorce, and she too was put off, although without making any hostlle demonstrations on account of the ction. Along in_the afternoon & man came In with an unsteady step and ofther symptoms of jagomania, and at once opened up on the court. “Judg sald he, “what did you want to spoil all our pla; for? One o' them woman was my wife, and | his_whereabouts. , plans to marry t'other Jlonight.

Trinl of an Interexting Lawsult Com- menced in the Distriet Court. Judge Macy is heafing evidence for the purposa of being able to declde whether Jane Ann Dunn or Mary Dunn Is entitled to be the lawful widow of the late Stephen Dunn and to become the owner of his property. Jane Ann was marricd to Stephen In Canada about fifty years ago, and had several chil- dren by him. She {3 71 years of age and is possessed of a good memory, which enabled her to give a wonderfully accurate account of a very romantic history. She occupled the stand all yesterday morning. In 1847 Stephen Dunn Kidnaped his chil- dren and left his wife in Canada. From that time until 1864 his wife knew nothing of In the meantime he mar- ried a second wite and settled in Pottawat- tamie county. When he came here, accord- ing to his son, Stephen Dunn, jr., he came with “three kids, a palr of shears and a square,”” as his total assets, but he managed to increase his property by living mostiy on mush and milk. He accumulated quite a lot of real es'ate in various parts of the county, which is now the object of controversy in the present litigation. Several suits are pending, the one now on trial being that of Jane Ann Dunn against the Portsmouth Savings bank, in which the plaintiff seeks to have a decree of foreclosure set aside, on the ground thal she has a dower {nterest in it, a divorce hav- ing never been obtained, either by her or her deceased husband. After being deserted Mrs, Dunn No. 1 sup- ported herseif by acting as housekeeper in hotels. For four years she was a member of the army hospital corps. She found out that her husband was in the war, and accidentally ran across him one day in St. Joseph. From that time on they corresponded occasionally, but never lived together, the second wite still being in tho fleld of action. Mrs. Dunn No. 2 claims that the property in litigation was her own individually, she having Kept a boarding house for years be- fore she married Dunn, and earned the money with which it was purchasel. $he also claims that her predecessor in Stephen's af- feations caused a death notics to be printed in an eastern paper and sent here for the purpose of showing that he was free to marry a second wife if he chose to do so. The wife and Stephen, jr., upon the stand yes erday testified to having heard the first wife ad mit having had this item published, be-ause she wanted to be dead to her grandchildren. When she arrivel here a year or €0 ago she would not allow Stephen, ir.'s, children to call her grandma. “And do you suppose,’ sald the daughter, with great asperity, when ques- tioned by Attorney Saunders as to whether she liked Mre. Dunn No. 1, “that I would like any woman who wouldn't allow me to call her grandma?" The testimony of John Dunn, a son of Mrs, Dunn the first, showed that his moral charac- ter did not show up in the early days with the radiance which has characterized it since he arrived here. He was, in fact, an inmate of the reform school about the time his father deserted his mother. “My number was 545, he frankly acknowledged, “‘and I didn't stay out long, for my next number was 691" Blocked the Sidewnlk, Considerable annoyance to pedestrians has been caused by merchants blocking the side- walk with their wares and having crowds congregate in front of their place of business. On South Main street this week the walk in front of a well known store has been blocked with women, children, baby buggles, etc., almost every day. Mr. Hughes, the proprie- tor, when asked abou it, explained by saying that he was having a clearing sale of boys’, misses’ and children’s shoes, and the prices he is making Is bound to attract the people to his store, and he promises that if the present rush continues that the blockade will soon be raised. If you haven't bought shoes for all the children, do so this week, for you will never buy them so cheaply again. Remember that 919 South Maln street s the place and T. B. Hughes s the man.

Merriam to Be Treated. Farwell Merriam, the old man who has been attracting so much attention by his street lectures for several weeks past, was brought before the commissioners of insanity yesterday for an examination. He has been suftering ever since he joined the A. P. A. about. three years ago. He had several wit- nesses summoned, among them John G. Sul- livan and 8. T. McAtee, who, he sald, were well educated along his lines of thinking. Both of them, however, thought he was fn- sane enough to be taken away for treatment, and a brother of Merrlam's thought like- wise. He was accordingly taken to Clarinda yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Hazen. On the same train went Lottie Fadden, who has been in St. Bernard's hospital for several weeks past, waiting for the whisky to get out of her system. The authoritles of the Clarinda hospital have recently decided to admit no more patients who are suffering from overdoses of liquors and nothing else, because the institution was becoming over- run with them. It was thought that whisky might be the only thing that afled her, but now that she has had time to sober up it is found that her mind is actually deranged. She acted very strangely yesterday, and was evidently watching eagerly for a chance to escape, all the way down to the depot. Mrs. Hazen accompanied her and the sheriff, We have leased the L.

Natives Decline to Take Medicine, TACOMA, Sept. 16.—Miss Nettie Burhaus, formerly in the Tacoma public schools and for two years a resident of Honolulu, in a letter to her sister indicates that cholera will carry oft a large portion of the natives, but they will_not report cholera victims to the Board of Health. The natives belleve the white people want to poison them and they there- fore refuse to take medicine. 1In one in- stance a physician found natives burylng a cholera victim alive. The cholera-stricken Kanaka was not dead, but his grave had already been dug and he was too miserable to care to object. The physielan prevented the burial until theiman was dead. Honolulu is reported as being very dirty and is being cleaned as a resuft of the presence of cholera. Coke Workers O) r a Strike.

The flames spread with o much rapidity that before ald reached the vessel six of the passengers and the stew- ardess of the Tona were burned to death, fire was put out after four hours struggle, The fire broke out when the Iona was off Claxton In the fore part of the vessel. The passengers were aroused and It was supposed that all had escaped from the burning cabin. While the crew were busy fighting the flames soldiers on board assisted in lowering the boats and in supplying passenge:s with life belts. There was no wind and the sea was perfectly smooth. There was, however, 50 much excitement and confusion among the passengers that the captain was unable to re- store_order. Suddenly it was discovered that some women and children were missing, The stewardess re-entered the burning cabin, it i8 presumed to try to rescue those who were missing, and she also perished.
