I 'the ' members many questions for their dli
ctisslon. The one that attracted the mos
Interest among the members was the su' '
vlsnblllty of clubbing rates for lountr
newspapers Many of itho members were c
the opinion that It was Inexpedient for
country newspapers to club with a larg
dally or weekly , because , as ono of t !
country odltors remarkril , "It frequent ]
happens that HIP subscriber finds the largi
paper to satisfactory that he drops his sul
scrlptlon to the country paper. " The Mil
Ject was discussed in all Its details and
scorned to bo the opinion of themajorli
that clubbing rates vvere of u greater bei

The discussion was led by J. H. Dund

W. M. Maupln of the World-Herald ss
ho bclloved In asking a candidate to co

no meat or butter on the table , Thompson
being , after the stricter practice of the
Mormons , a vegetarian. Tor the guests a
pitcher of nillk was procured from another
house , but none of the prophet's houhchold
partook of It. During and after the meal
Thompson talked with , us freely and with
no apparent reserve. lie was a tall , spare
man , whom 1 took to be about 3S jeara of
age , pollto and smooth of address , hut not
withstanding Ills seeming frankness of
speech he Impressed me with a feeling of
dlbtrust. His real character was revealed
In his eyes and mouth , which Indicated
cunning , daring and utter unbcrupulousnefs.

stronghold , In which every man , woman nnd
child would unquestlonlngly do his bidding ,

a queer sheet , devoted mostly to Mormon

odd words which he may have coined him
