In retiring frosa a place is the man

ness men of Columbus for the loyal
support extended this paper. Wherever

The aaanacement of the paper is left in
hands that will do everything witala
haman power for the oontiaaed saooess
of the beat paper in Platte coanty, and
to ell who are acqaaiated with Mr.
Abbott's ability aad personality, there
can be no doubt as to the outcome. It
ia with the deepest regret that I leave a
city where so many pleasant relations
have been formed, but business duties
hare made the move imperatiT. Agaia
thanking the friends of the Joaraal for
their loyal aupport, and trusting that
the same substantial courtesies may

In assuming the sola aaanagesnent of

The Journal will be conducted along

DEVIL AND DEEP SEA.
Of two evils choose the less, as Clay

to John Quaaoy Adams instead of the
old war-horse, Andrew Jackaoa.
This seems to be the eeutiineat of Mr.
Bryan lathepraasat dUemma in which
ha ands himself, aa bstwsea BoossveU

velt that ha is aa unaafs nun becaase

We greatly fear that thia amy lose
him the vote of Mississippi, bat them
such is Ufa. Ha cannot hope to be
elected mmamiaaomsly.
The standing army joka is getting a
trifle stale, but it is much better than
nothing- Everybody knows that ea
list meat ia the regular army of this
ooaatry wiU never be compulsory, nnd
that aajutariam as it is found in
European eoaatries wiU never be more
thaa a politician's dream ia this re
pabUo. Bat whan Mr. Bryan gets throagh
with Roosevelt and devotes his atten
tion! to Mr. Parker, then is when he
gata down to business. He remarks
imprimis that Jadga Parker is the aa
oomprosaiaiag enemy of the oaly thing
thai wiU save the ooaatry, namely,
flUte sa to One without waiting, etc.
Ha farther observes that on tha trast
qnastiam Parker is ia league with the
octopus and wa can hope for no relief
frosa aim. Oa tha tariff plank Mr.
Bryan sees a faiat glimmer of hope,
bat refleots that the Parker platform
was repahlicea on the subject of tariff
until Mr. Bryan himself made it
aasBOoraiic. On the labor qaestion.
ha aanomncas that it remains to be
saaa whether "the faaacial influence
back of Jadga Parker wiU permit him
to take tha labor side of these disput
ed questions. " AU this seems very
convincing aad sapported by evi
dence, Wa begin to regard Mr. Bryan
as a maa of dieceraiag judgment
aad poUtical honesty.
But proceed: Ia consideration of
these premises, Mr. Bryan wiU sup
port Mr. Parker!
Touching Mr. William J. Bryaa, we
consider that there is enough said.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Tha Platform is distasteful to
oat of tea democrats. It dees aot go
far enough toward the Kansas City
platform to please Bryaa. aad it goes
too far that way to please Parker.
Harper's Weakly, ia a disgasted tone,
says of the platform, "It is a mere
hodge-podge ia perfect harmony with
the manngement af the show. Appar
ently nobody reqaired aboard to in
ject hlhtself into the platform ; all one
had to do was to walk ia. But time
is reqaired to analyze the extraordia-,

ntntosphara laden with oaal dast the
perusal aaerely serves to Utenaifytbe

Roosevelt's record, on the trust, the

Thousands of people urn" in atten

forth its melodious! sounds nnd a
hymn is sung by n urge choir of se
lected singers, we are enraptured by
the delightful harmony. If this be
the .effeot.prodnced by 'the .voices of
a few hundred saintswhaTmast be
the raptare of the human soul when
greeted at its arrival into the upper
sphere by the songs of a heaven foU
of angels? After the singing of a
few hymns a bishop preaches a ser
mon, reminding his hearers of the
fact that the universe is governed by
immutable laws, and that it is the
nanred daty of the Latter Day Saints
to live and act ia conf ormlty with those
laws; the more so because the All
mighty ha seen fit to nuke them n
special revelation of Hu will throagh
the prophet of the church, Joseph
Smith. The sermon ends , with nn
exhortation to the young men to
assamen tha - matrimonial yoke, to
propagate and multiply, as only in
that manner can they attain the fall
glorv of redemption as promised In
holy writ. The' young ladies, so re
marks the preacher (and in this we
beUeve they resemble their Christian
sisters), need no urging to matrimony
on hu part and are williag to obey
the law as laid, 'dowa to mother
Ere cand perform their duty in strict
obedience to the laws of heavea.
Another hymn is sung with as de
lightful harmony as tho first, nnd an
other bishop preaches a sermon the
gist of which is salvation throagm
the grace of God. Reference is nude
to the bishops of tho chareh as the
sjrgan through which the, Holy stmirit
speaks to God's people the aana as
He did in ages past. Agaia young
aasa are urged to marry nnd thaa obey
the law of God nnd fnlflU their duty
to posterity.
Had we not seen hare nay of tha
fair daughters of Eva wewomld be
lead to believe that they had aot been
fairly treated by the Great Giver of
AU Things, bat after carefel sarvey
of the situation, we are firmly ooa
viaced that the gentle influence of
one daughter of Eve is superior to the
sermons of a handred preachers.
Ia close proximity to the Tabernacle
stands the Mormon Temple., the con
struction of which required fifty years
of. continuous labor aad cost four mil
lion dollars. In architecture it strong
ly resembles cathedrals of tha old
world. It ia built eatirely of cat
ataaa and with its many towers rising
in the air, it nukes an insuring ap
pearance. The Temple is aot open to
the public, bat is rassrvtd by the
Saints for the performance of each
sacred rites aa marriage aad baptism.
It is said that when a Mormon alder
smtfers from that enlargement of tha
heart whioh caa only be remedied by
tha possession of nn nddittonal wife,
the walls of the. Tesaple ,eioae can
provide that saerecy which is now aa
solntely necessary to the psast njasaee
of the ceremony. It is reeatinable to
suppose that after the religioas fervor
of the affected mind has boon brought
to the white heat under the sacred
roof of the Holy Temple that then
nnd there the new link ia the mntri
moaul chain is welded for good, to
add to the glorious hereafter of the
saint and the earthly welt being of
tho new spouse.
Both the Temple and the Taberaiole
stand on finely ornamented grounds,
surrounded by a solid waUand to the
visitor preaeat a very interesting np
pearance. Across the street fromf the
Temple stands the residence formerly
occupied by Brighnm Young, now in

is the eagle arch which ( spans the

At one end of the' Una close to the

the Hot Springs, tha tamperatare of

that theas waters are a sure cure for

MODERN SPIRITUALISM.
It Date Only Prstaa the WMdle af
' th but Ceatary.
Sosae forms of spiritualism have had
followers from remote antiquity. In
the Levltlcal law we find the injunc
tion. Thou shalt not suffer s witch to
lire," and throughout Old Testament
htetory there are frequent references
to this subject, while demons, python
eases, sibyls, augurs and soothsayers
have their places in the secular annals
of mankind.
In its modern form spiritualism
dates only from the forty-eighth year
of the last century, when, at the house
of a farmer of Hydesville, in the state
of New York, the spirit of a peddler
who had been murdered there some
five years previously was said to pro
duce certain unaccountable trappings
and disturbances la the room occupied
by little daugbtera of the housed
Aa Investigation by the neighbor
hood followed, and, to quote the words
used by Farrar hi hie pamphlet on the
subject," MIt soon became evident that
an organised attempt waa being made
by the denisens of the spirit world to
establish a method of communication
with mankind."
From that, time spiritualism spread
rapidly, and by the year 1S71 the num
ber of Its supporters was variously
reckoned at from 8,000.000 to 11,
000,000. LIGHT REFLECTION.

the motion resembles that of pitch

amount of motion to each other, aa In

The rate of motion varies with
local conditions, but to sometimes ex

The twentieth century American

ods of the French monk of eight cen

design. The artist makes a small wa
ter color sketch to show the general
design and color scheme, accompany
ing it with detailed studies. From thia
two targe .drawings or cartoana are

window. One cartoon shows where the
leads will be placed the thin strips
of lead, hollowed pn both aides and
looking in n transverse section like the
totter H. which form the framework
to bind the pieces of glass together.
Another drawing gives the size and
shape of each piece of glass. .This car
toon Is cut Into Its componfut' pieces by
n pair (or triplet) of three bladed scis
sors, which leave betweon their paral
lel blades a space sufficient for the
leads. These cut out patterns are put
together again on a large glass easel.
to which they are attached by wax. and
the spaces between are blacked lu to
give the effect of the leads.
The easel is then placed against a
window where the light can stream
through it. The artist or his substitute
replaces each paper pattern on the easel
by a piece of glass of exactly the same
size, cut from u sheet, of glass of the
color called for by the color sketch.
The sketch is not followed exactly;
experiment with the actual glass will
suggest Improvements. To a greater
or less extent this stained jjlass is sup
plemented by painted glass, on which
the colors are Ured as in china paint

cut they are transferred- to the "lead

twisted into shape and soldered at the
joints and a special cement applied to
make the whole water tight. The win
