WAfCH FOR SOMETHING NEW ,
TIIE Mormons of Utah are taking
course that is liable to bring down upo
them the wrath of Uncle Sam in a wa
that will teach them a good lesson. 0
Saturday morning , July 4 , when th
Gentiles cast their eyes about the
found the American flag at half-mast 01
all the public buildings under ilonnoi
control. An effort was made by the U
S. marshal and others to have the fla ;
run up to its properposition , but tin
owners of the buildings refused to listei
to the request and the police , all o
whom are "saints" proved apathetic am
inclined to interfere. The insult wai
evidently the result of a preconcertet
arrangement , as such a thing as a dozer
or more flags at half mast could scarce
ly have occurred through accident. Th (
country is getting about tired of this
nonsense. In 1861 there was an attempt
made to haul down the American flag
and it took five years of war to fix i !
back in its position , but it is at the masl
head now , and is there to stay. There
are probably some of the men who tried
to keep it down during the civil war who
would enjoy whipping the Mormons into
a sense of their situation and the duties
they owe the American government. In
fact two of the parties who went to the
city hall to find out the reason for the
flag being bait-masted are ex-confeder
ates. When the demand was made that
the flag be raised on the city hall it was
met by a flat refusal , and on the party
attempting to raise it about a dozen po-
'iccmen made a rush for them and there
came near being a riot on the spot. The
police officers said .that any man who at
tempted to raise the flag would be shot.
Finally some of the flags were run up ,
but the rest remained down. Such an
outrage should not be permitted to oc-
ur again , but the polygamists must be
iaught that it will not be submitted to
nd that an attempted repetition of it
will cause a tempest which will wipe the
Mormon hierarchy out of existence as a
political factor within the limits of the
United States. These fellows have-
not the slightest particle of patriotism
"n their composition , hut may be taught
; pme before they are many years older.

WILSON , N. 0. , July 4. Willie Sams ,
6 year old son of a farmer living near
ere , murdered his infant brother , of
rhom he had been given charge , yester-
ay. Some time ago he was taken to a
Child's funeral and manifested great in-
; erest in its burial which he did not
iccni to understand. He has frequently
.prattled about it arid asked many ques-
jtions as to how { lie child was got into
the coffin and when it would come out.
Yesterday , the child took his little
brother to the grave which was near his
father's home , and after scooping out a
grave in the sand by the side of a small
brook placed the infant in a box which
he had previously placed there , screwed
, pn the top and buried it , going through
'the ' form of delivering a prayer and sing-
ng a hymn. After he had filled the
iny grave he stamped on it and slowly
went back home and told his mother of
his deed , of which he seemed very proud.
He said it was just like Mrs. Arthur's
little baby's funeral.
The terrified mother hastened to the
spot and the grave was reopened and the
infant found dead , with its right arm
broken and its skull crushed.
AN Ohio man drank twelve barrels of
cider last winter. His name got into the
newspapers , and everybody said. "Just
ee the luck of these Ohio fellers. " He
is now dead. It is not known whether
he died from the effects of the twelve
'barrels ' of cider or because he was an
Ohio man. But he passed away during
the beautiful days of June and merci
fully escaped the Fourth of July and
'the heat of summer. Luck seems to
, cling to an Ohio man even in death.
