tons' Struggling for Possowlmi of
Suercd Building Spot Named by
Joseph Smith,
The recent attempts of the two rival
branches of the Mormon church In
their effort to gain a controlling In
fluence In Indepen dence, and eventu
ally erect a magnificent tabernacle
there, aa wan foretold by Joseph
Smith, prophet and founder of Mor
onlsm, has alarmed Protestants of
that town to BUch an extent that they
are advocating annexation to Kansas
City, says a Kansas City dispatch. In
the pant few weeks the situation has
been discussed by almost ever gen
tile minister, and the business men
of Independence are holding meetings
an to the advisability of annexation.
Ilecomlng a part of Kansas City Is be
lieved to be the only means which
will prevent Mormon predominance In
the municipal, social and business af
fairs of the town.
Thus far the organized church,
whose headquarters are at Lamonl.
la,, has been the most successful In
Independence, although the Utah
branch Is fast gaining strength. Tne
' Iowa Mormons have a church, while
, the Utah members come to Kansas
City to worship.
But to all. Independence Is sacred,
and the one which succeeds In olefi
ns; the tabernacle on "Temple Lot"
In that town will have gained a great
victory. This lot "v tract of three
acres Is to tho Mormons of all
branches the most sacred' place op
earth. They believe that It Is the
venter of what was once the Garden
of Eden, and the place where Joseph
Smith found the golden plates.
"Temple Lot," It Is certain, was
the site which Joseph Smith, the
prophet, had In mind when he told
his people "what God had revealed to
him" regarding the tabernacle. The
revelation, as given by Smith, Is as
follows:
"Harkon ye, O ye elders of My
church, sulth the Lord your God, who
have assembled yourselves together to
My commandment In this land which
I have appointed and consecrated for
the gathering of the saints, wherefore
this Is the land of Bromine and the
place which Is now called Independ
ence, Mo., Is the center place and spot
ior the temple; It lying westward up
on a spot which Is not far from the
oourt house." t
"Temple Lot" was acquired by Jo
seph Smith In 1831. He had a short
time previously established a settle
ment in Independence. Three years
later he nml his colony of 1200 were
driven out of the country, the people
charging conspiracy and fomenting of
trouble. The colony was forced to
leave at the muzzles of rifles. ' One
woman was killed In the riot.
The quarrel between the gentiles
and the Mormons of Missouri lasted
until 1838, when Governor Boggs pro
claimed that the Mormons muBt leave
the state.
They were driven flrnt Into Illinois,
and two years later were forced to
leave that state, most of them going to
Utah. Later the Iowa branch became
tho Reorganized Church of Latter Day
Saints of Jesus Christ, the Salt Lake
brunch adopting the name "Organiz
ed" Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints.
But Independence, especially Tem
ple Lot, still remained to all the cher
ished site for the City of Zlon, and
every Mormon believes that It will be
only a short time before Smith's
prophecy will bo fulfilled.
Already subscriptions are being
raised by the rival branches, and land
In being acquired In all parts of In
dependence. The Iowa branch Is con
templating moving Its headquarters
from Lamonl, within a few months,
while the Mormons In Utah will re
tain Salt I.nke as their headquarters
until after they shall have erected a
tnbernucle on Temple Lot.
The Utah Mormons hold title to a
tract of 26 acres In Independence,
while the "others ow about 65 acres.
But Temple Lot, the most cherished
spot of all. Is In litigation. Jane
Cowdry, a Mormon woman to whom
It was deeded In the early history of
the church, died Intestate, and the lot
wus sold under the hammer for taxes.
The Hedrlckltes. n branch which
sprang up in Independence during
Joseph Smith's lifetime, bought It In.
However, It is said 'hat the Mormons
will buy the lot. if they are defeated
In the courts, and to this end both
branches are now working.

NOW FOR CHAMPIONSHIP.
Review f NorthweM. Football by Pen
illeton Boy at Seattle.
University Station, Seattle, Nov. 18.
(Editor Kast Oregonlan.) The
football season as regards the north
west championship Is drawing to a
close. The University of Oregon by
defeating the Oregon Agricultural
college lust Saturday won the cham
pionship of Oregon. It will be Impos
sible to pick a championship team of
Washington on account of the nature
of the schedule, and the results of the
games played.
Tho Pullman teom and the Univer
sity of Wushlngton team will not meet
owing to differences between the man
agers as to what should bar a col
lege player on the charges of profes
sionalism. The University of Idaho
defeated the Washington team and the
Pullman team by about an equal score
so that neither of the Washington
learns can claim a championship by
comparative scores.
The remaining big games to be
played are those between the Univer
sity of Washington and the Oregon
state and Oregon farmer teams.
What will probably be the biggest
game of the year will take place In
Seattle next Saturday when the Ore
gon eleven lines up against the Wash
ington defenders.
Oregon undoubtedly has a very
strong team and public sentiment Is
slightly in their favor. The Washing
ton team has played In hard luck all
season, beginning at the first of the
year when Dean had his shoulder
broken. He was followed by Ray
Goodrich, an all northwest halfback,
with a badly broken shoulder, and
then followed Ike Dowd with a broken
collar bone. Several other of the star
performers also Joined the hospital
squad and necessitated the use of sec
ond team men.
The Sherman Indian team of south
ern California, which had played
Stanford a hard game in a score of 6
to 4, In favor of Stanford, was last
Saturday swept off Its feet by the
Washington team when they defeated
them by a score of 29 to 0. "
This gave Washington supporters
the first opportunity of seeing what
kind of a team they had with which
to meet the husky Oregon aggrega
tion. When the Oregon luds go forth
to battle In Seattle they will show up
every point In the great game of col
lege football, and the team that de
feats them will earn the victory.

To Turkey After Ills Family.
Without doubt the happiest passen
ger on this morning's train was Abra
ham Challlta, a familiar figure
around the city many years. Challlta
Is an Arabian and goes to Beyrout to
bring back his wife and daughter,
whom he has not seen for 11 years.
Abraham left his family a long time
ago to come to the new world to seek
his fortune. With him, money was
scarce, and he feared that he would
not be able to make a living for him
self and family In a strange land
where he knew not the language and
customs of the country. Since leav
ing, prosperity has been with him. His
wagon has been frequently touring
the valley, trading small articles for
country produce, which In turn has
been turned Into ready cash. Challlta,
In his travels, showed a remarkable
aptitude to pick up languages with
which he came In contact, and as a
result he speaks eight tongues flu
ently. "
By birth he Is an Arabian, but came
to this country from Asiatic Turkey,
where his family resides. One of his
daughters, aged 16, was recently mar
ried, but the younger, who Is 15 years
of age, will accompany her mother
and father back. La Grande Observer.

I1L.II I UMI. LU I I LM ;
New York, Nov. 16. One of the
most interesting features of the elec
tion campaign Just cloned was the
free use that was made of automo
biles by candidates and campaign
workers as they made their rounds.
There was an almost endless variety
of new ways and means of carrying on
the campaign, most of which had
never been dreamed of before; but
the use of the automobile discount all
others.
Speakers hud no difficulty In reach
ing from six to eight meetings In a
single night, situated In widely scat
tered localities, the autos speeding
from one to the othe' with ease. One
candidate made a GS-mlle run, an
other finished six speeches In one
night, finishing before 11 o'clock,
while a third practically traversed a
large section of Manhattan, then
crossed over to Brooklyn and finally
reached Staten Island with a tug, and
made an extended tour in another set
of autos. Some used only one nuto;
others took them in relays and accom
plished more in one night than they
could have done in several nights if
dependent upon horses.
And the candidates all expressed
themselves as delighted at the de
lightful character or the trips, what
with the excitement, the sense that
they were getting there in great shape
and the general dash of the tours,
which were never the same in inci
dents, but were continually presenting
fresh situations. And, wonderful to
tell, the autos were on their good be
havior, never depriving the voters of
the exquisite delight of dumping the
candidates.
Antl-Pnoiimonla Poultice.
A place over In Jersey, the little
town of Washington, has had so much
pneumonia, that it looked for and dis
covered a poultice that citizens de
clare cures pneumonia. It Is the
board of health that recommends the
paste, so It has the flavor of official
ity as well as of onions, which form
ing the principal ingredient, make
themselves known at once. Other
health boards are spreading the same
tidings. Here is the remedy:
"Take six or 10 onions, according
to size, and chop them fine, put In a
large spider and over a hot fire; then
add the same quantity of rye meal
and vinegar, enough to form a thick
paste. Stir thoroughly, letting it
simmer five or 10 minutes. Then put
Into a cotton bag large enough to
cover the lungs, and apply to chest as
hot as patient can bear It. In about
10 minutes apply another, and con
tinue by reheating the poultices, and
In a few minutes the patient will be
out of danger. This poultice Is re
ported to have worked very success
fully In the town of Washington.
Pretty Girl, Small Cat and a Boy.
A big throng at Eighteenth street
and Broadway was Intensely interested
In the performances of a pretty young
lady and a cat, a pretty young lady.
Indeed, and a very small cat. The cat
was staggering from weakness when
It came upon the scene, so weak that
It fell Just before the young lady
came tripping along clad In a stylish
gown of perfect fit and of costly ma
terial. The young lady did not hesitate for
a second, but straightway reached
down, picked up the very small cat,
and put It to her small muff. With a
piece of silver she sent . a newsboy
after some milk, and when he speed
ily returned, she and he knelt down
by a wall, and she held the bottle,
while he curved his pudgy and be
grlmmed hand into a cup, and the
small cat's benefactor held 'ts head
down so that it could lap up the nec
tar, purring all the while as though
It had Just struck a cat's paradise.
Quite unconscious to this little group
a large crowd had gathered, quite fill
ing the sidewalk. Somebody suggest
ed as a policeman came up on the
run, that the young lady had been
injured, and rang up an ambulance.
The ragged boy then constituted him
self her knight. "Aw a'wan.' 'he said,
"you rubber-necks." and by the time
the ambulance arrived, the tender
hearted girl, the small boy and I he
still smaller cat and the the muff,
had boarded a car.

As John R. Hageman, president of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance com
pany, sat under the examination of
the Armstrong legislative committee,
he seemed a cross between Henry
Word Beechcr and Robert Collver.
with a slight dash of St. Simon Styl
Ites thrown In to add to the effect of
sanctlficntlon. His emphatic expres
sion of abhorrence for the perpendic
ular pronoun made e deep Impression
upon William Barnes, sr., of Albany,
who looked on with a quizzical glint
In his bear eye.
When Mr. Hageman finished the
Eto'emo-it about nm drawing the si!
ory of $100,000, Mr. Barnes leaned
forward and whispered to a man In
front of him, "that Is tho face of a
saint." "Yes," retorted Mr. Hughes,
softly, for he had overheard the re
mark, "But no saint was ever so holy
as Mr. Hageman looks."
