The following Ute society gossip is
full of interest to those who have per
sonal acquaintances and friends among
that sect. I have only just received
them, and hasten to give them as early
as possible, knowing that the readers
of the World will all feel an interest
in what is going on in and about the
reservation :
The season at White River will be
unusually gay this winter, and soon
there will be continuous round of hi
larity, indignation, mirth, colic and
social hatred. Red Horse, the smoke
tanned horse-fiddle maestro, will play
and call off again this winter for ger
rnans, ; grub dances and jack-rabbit
gorges as usual.
The Ouray War Club will give a
series of hops in November under its
own auspices, and in December it will
hold two germane. In going through
these germans no favors will bo shown
by the club.
Mr. and Mrs. Mexican-Hairless -
Dog upon-whom-there-are-no-Flies
have been spending the summer at
their delightful hostile home near
White River. They have just re
turned for the winter, beautifully
bronzed by the elements, and report
one of the most exhilirating out
breaks they ever were to.
Dop-Ear-bon-of-the-CycIone receiv
ed a cablegram last week, on his re
turn from the war-path, ottering him
a princely salary to come to London
and assist in robbing the Deadwood
coach. He says the legitimate drama
is certainly making wonderful strides.
He has heard the American Opera
Company in "Nero," and says that no
one who has lived on the reservation
all his lite can have any idea of the
strides that are being made on the
stage. He has not decided whether
to accept the offer or not, but says
that if the stage they are going to rob
is the operatic stage he will not assist
at any price. He says he knows
what it is to suffer for clothes himself.
The members of the Chipeta Canoe
ing Club have just returned from a
summer jaunt, and are in good spirits.
They report that a good time was had
and health greatly improved. The
club will give a sociable and gastric
recital at its grounds next week. The
proceeds will go toward beautifying
the grounds of the club and promot
ing a general good feeling. Each
member is permitted to bring one
cash friend.
Tall-Man-Who-Toys-with-the-Thun-derbolts
will start to-morrow for the
home of the Great White Father at
Washington. He goes to make a
treaty or two and be awed by the sur
plus in the treasury. He will make
as many treaties as possible; alter
which he will invite the Great White
Father to visit our young and grow
ing reservation, enjoy our crude hos
pitality and cultivate the Ute vote.
A select scalp-dance and rum socia
ble will take place at the foot of the
gulch in the middle of the present
moon, after which there will be a pre
sentation speech and resolutions of
respect tendered to the Board of Out
breaks and the sub-committee on Hos
tility. The following will be the menu :
Reservation soup, strengthened
with rainwater ; condemned sardines,
codfish balls, fish plates, railroad frogs'
legs, sage hen a la Colorow, jerked
jack-rabbits, roasting ears a la massa
cre, hot-house clams, rattle snakes'
tongues a la fire-water, prickJy pears,
fruit of the loom, dried apples and
whiskey. Dancing will be kept up
until a late hour.
The approaching nuptials of Fly
by-Night, a partial widower of Snip
pets, daughter . of Wipe-Up-the-Ground-with-His-enemies,
will be the
occasion of quite an ensemble, and
blow-out He will marry the surviv
ing members of the family of Wampo-the-Wailer-that-Wakes-u
p-i n -The -
nigbL He will on this occasion lead
to the altar Mrs. Wampo-the-Wailer,
etc., her two daughters and the hired
girl. The wedding will take place at
the residence of the bride, invitations
are already out and parties who have
not yet received any, but who would
like to be present and swap a tin nap
kin ring for a square meal, will be in
vited if they will leave their address
with the groom.
Crash-of-the-Tempest, a prominent
man of the tribe, laid a large tumor
on our table last week, weighing four
pounds, from which he was removed
on Wednesday. So. far, this .is the
largest tumor that has been brought
in this summer to apply on subscrip
tion. Call again, Crash.
Soiled Charlie and Peek-a-Boo,
delegates of the Ute Nation sent to
the Great White Father at Washing
ton, returned yesterday from Red Top
the great tepee of the Pale Chief. They
made a great many treaties and both
are utterly exhausted. Peck-a-Boo ia
confined t his wigwam by the hallu
cination that the air is full of bright
red bumble bees with blue tails. He
Bays that he does not mind the hos
tility of the .white man, out it is his
hospitality that makes him tired.
A fall-dregs reception and consom
me was tendered to the friends of La
bur at - the home of the past Worthy
Chief Fly-np-the-Creek, of White
River, by his own neighbors and Un-
compaghre admirers on Tuesday ev
ening. At an early hour guests be
gan to arrive and crawl under the tent
into the reception-room.
A oe band, consisting of a man
who had deserted from the regular
military band, played Boulanger's
March on the bass drum with deep
feeling.
The widow of Wanipo the-Wailer
and affianced of old Fly-by-Night
wore a dark coiffure, held in place by
the wish-bone of a sage hen, and look
ed first rate.
Miss Wampo, the elder, wore a neg
lige costume, consisting of a red Cali
fornia blanket, caught back with real
burdock burrs and held in place by
means of a ha me strap.
The Younger Miss Wampo wore a
Smyrna rug, with bunch grass at the
throat.
Mrs. D. W. Peek-a-Boo wore a
cavalry saddle blanket, with Turkish
overalls and bone ornaments.
Miss Peek-a-Boo wore a straw col
ored jardiniere, cut V shape, looped
back with a russet shawl strap and
trimmed with rick rack around the
arm holes. Her eyes daneed with
merriment, and she danced with most
anybody in the wigwam.
Little Casino, the daughter of Fly-up-tne-Creek,
of the Uncompaghres,
wore the gable end of an "A" tent,
trimmed with red flannel rorettes. It
had veneered panels and the new and
extremely Bwell sleeves, blown up at
the elbow and tight the rest of the
way, in which, as she said, in her
native way, they resembled her father,
who was tight half the time and blown
up the rest of the time.
Mrs. Roll-on-Silver-Moon has a
Eainful bullet wound in thj shoulder,
ut feels so greived over the loss of
little Cholera Infantum that she does
not make much fuss over her injury.
The funeral of the little one will take
place this evening from its late resi
dence, and friends of the parents are
cordially invited to come and partici
pate. Wailing will begin promptly
at sundown.
Major Santee, who is now at home
repairing the room of his Gothic tepee
which was so damaged by the recent
storms that it allowed hail, rain and
horned cattle to penetrate his apart
ments at all hours of the day or night,
says that in the late great Ute war
everybody wanted to fight except the
Indians and the War Department.
He believes that no Indian outbreak
can be regarded as a success without
the hearty co operation and God
speed ot the Government and a quo
rum of Indians who are willing to
break out into open hostility. Major
Santee lot a niece during the recent
encounter. She was not hostile to any
one, but was respected by all, and will
now cast a gloom. She had no hard
feelings toward the sheriff or any one
of his posse and never met them be
fore. She was very plain in appear
ance, and this was her first engage
ment. The sheriff now says that he
thought she was reaching for her gun,
whereas it appears that she was mak
ing a wild grab for her indian trail.
Major Santee says he hopes it will
be many a day before the sheriff or
ganizes another Ute outbreak and
compels the Utes to come and bring
their families. He says that human
life here now is so cheap, especially
the red style of human life, that often
he is almost tempted to steal $200,000
and go to New York, where he will
be safe.

PART III.
The Mormons worship the same
God a3 we do, and believe in Jesus
Christ, and they admit the divine ori
gin of the Bible ; but their religion is
based upon the book of Mormon,
which is claimed to have been given
to their founder, Joseph Smith, by
God himself, through divine revela
tion. Whenever the book of Mormon
conflicts with the Bible, they claim
the book ot Mormon must be right, as
it came from God since the Bible.
They observe very nearly the same
forms of worship as the M. E. Church.
All their churches have fine organs,
and fine choirs and the people consid
er it a religious duty to attend wor
ship regularly. Their preachers al
ways ' -each plain and practical ser
mon? .nd do not believe in any emo
tion religion. Every Mormon
child uas a birthright in the church,
and becomes a member of the same
as soon as it can walk and talk. They
believe that when they die they are
simply transplanted from earth to
heaven, and that they have set apart
for the head of each family, a separate
part of the country which is peopled
by their own descendants. In conse
quence every male Mormon expects j
io be a king or patriarch in the world
to come, each member expecting to j
have his wive3 and families, and have
children born to them, just as they
do on earth- They. also believe they
can go into the Temple and be bapti
zed in the name of anyone dead, and
that person will be taken from the
place ot torment to heaven by this
act. Mormons have been baptized in
the name of all our presidents, aud
the great men of our country who
have died years ago. Some Mormons
have been baptized in the name of
from one hundred to two hundred
dead people. They believe any one
who apostatizes the Mormon church
will receive the greatest degree of pun
ishment possib'e in the hereafter. In
former times an apostate was killed
instantly if it was possible, and mur
dered any one whom it was thought
tended to apostatize.
This peculiar custom of plurality of
wives, they claimed to have received
the authority from God, through Jos
eph Smith, by divine revelation, and
they think a Mormon who is the hus
band of only one wife will be a servant
in the world to come, to some Mor
mon who has a number of wives. A
plural wife will tell you 'she has many
troubles on account of her husband's
other wives, yet she thinks that her
reward will be far greater than the
wife of a Mormon who has only one.
Notwithstanding the strong arm ot
the. law is filling Utah penitentiary
with the Mormons who follow polyga
my, yet it was practiced as much when
the writer left Leutory as formerly
and a Mormon who has to undergo
punishment for this crime becomes in
the eyes of the others a saint and a
martyr, and is looked up to with rev
erence and love.
The first wife thinks she will be a
queen in the world to come, and will
have her husband's other wives for
handmaids, and this hope aids her to
bear with fortitude the neglect of her
husband for his favorite wife, for in
many instances she is the handmaid
and servant of this favored wife.
The Mormon's all expect their lead
er, prophet and president, Brigham
Young, to arise from the dead and
lead them out of their troubles. In
1885. the Apostle Richards, one of
the best educated men ot the church,
told the writer, to "only wait for a
short time and our dead President,
Brigham Young, will arise from the
dead and lead us out ot thi3 trouuie,
and notwithstanding we ure oppressed
now. we do not despair, having a
sure knowledge of our deliverance."
They all believe that at no distant
day, the entire world will oecome
Mormcnized, and that Salt Lake City
will be the capital of the world.
No church on earth works as hard
to make converts as the Mormon
Church. They have missionaries over
all the old countries, preaching their
peculiar doctrines, and annually ship
loads of converts arc landed in the
United States on their way to Salt
Lake City. Ot course their converts
are principally ignorant people, but
it is no unusual sight to see families
of intelligence and wealth join their
faith.
'All marriage ceremonies are per
formed in private. No one is even
admitted except the contracting par
ties and the officiating Bishops- They
call this "sealing the woman to the
man." All of their ceremouka are
secret, except the burial, which is sim
ilar to our ewn.
Every Mormon upon joining tho
church, is given two robes, which are
made very much like a shirt, only a
good deal longer. Over each breast
of this robe there is painted a large
eye, and Mormons will never, under
any circumstances, permit themselves
to be without this robe on, for a single
moment. Before taking one entirely
off, they will commence putting on the
other one. These are called Endow
ment Robes. Strange to say, John D.
Lee, who was shot by the United
States soldiers for participating in the
Mountain Meadow Massacre, and who
had apostatized the Morman Church,
upon finding out the church would
not sustain him, just before he was
shot called for his endowment robe
and put it on, refusing to die without it
on. They teach and believe that ev
ery man who joins the Mormon
Cnurch will receive a personal mani
festation from God that he is right.
The Mormons are quiet and indus
tiiou3 and any one, who will mind his
own business, and not talk about, or
attempt to interfer with them, or their
customs, will be well treated, and ad
mitted to all their dancps. &.c. T'npv
are dancing people, and the lone win-1
tcr mo-tms are passed away in merry
ir.aL.ing, and it is no unusual sight to
see one of their Bishops, leading the,
dance with some young lassie.
In conclusion, let me say, while I
abhor Mormonisni and its customs
and religion, and believe that its prac
tice is degrading and abominable, yet
I was always treated kindly by the
people ot Utah, and shall always re
member many friends in that country,
and having thi3 kindly feeling toward
ihem, I would earnestly recommend
them to our churches as a good field
for missionary work. We have heath
ems nearer home than China, Africa
and other countries across- the Atl&n

About Advertising.
John Wanainaker, the great Phil
del phia merchant, recently spoke as
follow about advertising : "I never
in my life used such a thing as a pos
ter, dodger or handbill. My plan
ibr fifteen years has been to buy so
much space in a newspaper and fill it
up with what I wanted. I would not
jjive an advertisement in a newspaper
of 400 circulation for 5,000 dodgers
or posters. If 1 wanted to s-j11 cheap
jewelry or run a lottery scheme I
might use posters, hut I v.- uld not
insult a decent r-:uung j uolic with
handbills. The
class
peoplo who
read such things are poor material to
look to for support in mercantile af
fairs. I deal directly with the pub
lisher. I say to him ; 'How long will
you let me run a cc.-Iumn of matter
nrough your paper i-.ir 3100. or -o!)0,
as the cv.sa may bo. 1 . i Ini.i -l the

The first year I laid aside 3,000; lust
year I laid aside aud spent $-40,000.
I have done better this year, and
shall increase the Bum as the prohts
warrant it. 1 owe my eucccss to the
o&wspapers, and to them I shall free
ly give a certain profit of my yearly

The town that sits down on its hind
lejs and waits for some one to come
along and drop an occasional big fat
worm into its open, lazy mouth, will
et left. Fat worms are scarce, and
the only way to get the best ones is to
rustle for them. Keep your money at
home, and patronize them thatpatron
iie yon, and spend your money among
your own illustrations, where you
stand a chance to get it back. Every
dollar you spend with home people
raay fitd its way back to your own
pocket. But a dollar spent in some
other town is gone forever and helps
to build up that town, while every
dollar spent here helps to build our
stives up. Figure the thing down

The barriers placed between the
white and black races will never be
broken down. They were erected by
God himself and weak man will not
be able to tear them away. The fool
who tries it deserves social death and
the supreme contempt of every respec
table white man, woman aud child.
The desire to mix the two races in
the schoolroom is a desire born of ha
ti ed and of hell. If people of theNorth
have no more self respect than to fill
their schoolrooms with tbe two races
with no line .of demarcation between
them, they may do so, but thank God
the people of the South are made of
better clay. 1 hey have more selt-re
spect have more respect for their
children. Yet this is one end that

Trouble on tho "Junebtig,"
The following is told here by a gen
tlemen from Alexander county :
"The other day while the engine
was standing at the terminus of tht
Statesviile & Western road, about
ready to return to Statesviile, two in
dividuals from way back in Aleck,
tired, weary of hope delayed for the
long expected celebration, determined
to annihilate a small portion of valu
able time at the expense of a free ride
and "paint things red." Duly equip
ped with the regulation ifnsj "bot
tle of concentralo;i oxii-;.t-i . : .i n,
quarto edition, the contents ol which
had imparted to their olfactory es
creseences that peculiar, decorated,
highly colored resemblance to pure
azure and poke berries, they boarded
the engine and proceeded to make
things as comfortable in tho cab as
possible. They talked with gusto and
genuine pride "about "cur" railroad,
how long it took to grade it, and what
a time it had been since grading ai d
who the conductor, mail agent, en
gineer and fireman would bo when
the road is finished to town, and to
satisfy a morbid curiosity wanted to
know at what time we would get to
Statesviile. The engineer replied
that he was ready to go then, and
that their room would be more high
ly appreciated than their company ;
that the Richmond & Danville Rail
road had outlawed all dead-heads and
that they fell under that awful decree.
Dynamite couldn't have exploded
more instantly than these injured in
nocente and bloated "stock-holders"
resented this soft impeachment. They
made a gallant defense for their forti
fications. Pan''w iuni reigned su
preme. Billets i wood end curses
ilew around together. Blows and
epithets raiued like hail. Train
hands came to the dreadful combat
and the chivalric garrison, that act
ually owned the road at leact .'JO min
utes by possession, were suppressed
and dumped out like you would land
a sack of salt. The noses, hair and
eyes lying around were gathered to
gether and assorted, and the train
moved out from these rejected tour
ists, when one of them vanquished
but dtfiant and levengeful, "hollered"
rt the ton of his voice, '(io il, you
cadbianud galoots; we're gwine riht
l ack through town and tell Partoe

'"our" kears after he sid so and I'll

A queer case comiag under our per

Rankin, of Orange. She inherits
property at her death, that is, an old
uncle of hers left her during her life

was to go to a nephew. She sold her
life estate for a nominal sum and soon
thereafter the nephew died. By his
death she was the only living heir, but
by her sale she will have no control
of the land until after she dies. Thia
change of fortune has crazed the old
woman, aud she goes from town to
