London, Sept. 16 The efforts of the Mormon missionaries to proselyte in the rural districts have excited a good deal of attention of late, and all the more because of the apparent success of the propaganda in certain localities. One of these is the town of Luton in Bedfordshire.

For the last few nights the town has leen almost in a state of riot, the populace hooting and pelting the three young missionaries who are endeavoring to persuade the wives, daughters and listers to exchange Luton for Salt Lake City.
