Ht Btfrtti Um Political Diitarbissti in Utah Whin All 8hnld ht at Peace. Rockpoet, Mo., June 25, 1898. Dear Editor Thinking that perhaps per-haps some of the many readers of your valuable paper would be glad 1 to bear something about Missouri and her people ( the state where I am lab- ourlng as a minister of the Gospel) I take this opportunity to scribble, a : few ! lines. It has been nearly two months since I left my mountain borne in Utah for the Gospel's sake. Many aod interesting (to me) have been the sights which meet my gaze, perhaps because I have never had the privilege of seeing any of the outside world. My trip was a pleasant one, having opportunities of visiting several large cities such as Denver and Kansas City, Mo. The latter place I labored in for two weeks; it Is a-city of 135,000 inhabitants inhab-itants situated on the eastern bank of the Missouri river, extending for several sev-eral miles back on the rolling prairie. So uneven is the surface, you might have to ascend steps from the side walk to the dwellings on oue side of the road, while on the other, the opposite. op-posite. While here I had the opportunity oppor-tunity of spending a day in the Armour Arm-our packing works. It covers several acres of ground. I was told that it put through more porkers in a day than any other in the world. When it is running full force, it takes 400 hogs an hour, and sheep, beeves and other animals in like porportion. There are 16 car loads leave the works every day. I have also had the pleasure pleas-ure of visiting the city of Independence. Independ-ence. Taking the . road running west from the court house about a half mile yftiLCome to the Temple block, the spot where Jos. Smith, the prophet, proph-et, and 7 others, worthy servants of God, assembled In August, 1831, and J 1.... ..1 n n rn.n)na Dlta in 7i.vn where a Temple is to be built in this generation. It i one of the most elevated el-evated spots in the city and is covered cov-ered with lawn grass and trees surrounded sur-rounded by a barb wire fence. There is a small frame church on it belonging belong-ing to the Henderickitcs; while just across the street is a beautiful stone structure belonging to the Reorganized Reorgan-ized church. Missouri is a very One country, indeed, on account of the richness rich-ness and fertility of the soil, the beautiful farms and shady groves. It has well been a place selected by God for a new Jerusalem to be built. I am now laboring in Atchison At-chison county, where I meet with many kind friends and some who are not so kind. We bave few Saints here, one of whom In particular I will mention, Sister Lewis, a sister of Apostle Erastus Snow, has her latch string on the outside of her door for the elders who who come along. There might be many things of Interest mentioned men-tioned but perhaps to cumbersome to find space In your valuable paper. We are sorry to bearofthe political antagonism in OHr church. It looks bad even at this great distance, especially es-pecially to our elders, whose mission to the people is peace and tidings of joy, and truth. Praying for the welfare of Zion and the coming of that better day I remain, re-main, Yours Respectfully, Thomas Loynd. 0u tat Headaohe.

Yesterday morning the individual who ornaments the business office of The Independent, writes the puffs, sits on the safety valve of public opinion, opin-ion, understands the manifesto, etc,, gathered about him a considerable section of his family and sought seclusion se-clusion in Salt Lake at the Carnival. In the meantime the b r. and other lesser lights will wrestle with the news gathering (or avoiding) problem. Felt, to tell the truth, needed rest he had been trying to ride a wheel. While at Provo one day a bicycle was offered him, which he hadn't the moral courage to refuse. Improbable as it may seem, the bicycle craze conquered con-quered the man whom the manifesto never phazed. This wheel had been used to deliver Ice all spring, but had outlived its usefulness. Well, Felt got the machine home. There is a certain fence corner on Main street, and at his first trial Felt ran that bike six blocks without a quiver in order that he might smash that fence. When the wheel came back from Roylance's after a day or so, Felt took it again and went up to Sage Creek. On his return this time it was evident, evi-dent, from his appearance, that a 1,900 pound horse had trodden gaily about on his thorax. The pentlemen who carried the shutter had in their pockets various portions of the human anatomy, which were supposed to be Felt's, as they were found near him. One produced a clavicle and a piece of something which might once have been a diaphragm. The other brought forth a shin bnue, three lingers aud some of the lumbar vertebra. But, as was said before, Felt has gone to Salt Lake to seclude himself and rest up. It is thought, however, that his fatal beauty has departed forever. You who ride a wheel know how it is; you who do not will know when you try. The B. R. P. S. Will the Sage Creek gentleman gentle-man who appropriated four yards of Mr. Felt's nervous development kindly kind-ly return same to this office? B. R. A VANISHING GUN. tfclqna Anoamant of Our New Coast D. feime Vessel . "This little vessel may work an era in naval warfare," said an expert at Sandy Hook the other day when Constructor Nixon submitted a design for a harboi defense vessel carrying four 8-inch guns mounted on disappearing carriages. The efficiency of the disappearing pun carriage car-riage for fortification had been settled beyond doubt by the firing of seventy-aigbt seventy-aigbt rounds from a 10-inch gun, weighing weigh-ing thirty tons. The work of the board therefore, was principally to consider the design of a vessel submitted by the Cramp Shipbuilding company, through their superintendent, Naval Constructor Lewis Nixon. The vessel in question is one that will carry four 8-inch guns on the small displacement of 1,550 'ons. She will have a heavy protective deck and an all-round belt of 5-inch nickel Uteel armor. When in action the proposed pro-posed vessel will present little or no target to the guns, of tho enemy, her battery being entnoly below the water line. Tho guns and crew will be entirely entire-ly protected, the former being exposed only long enough to fire and retire below be-low deck to their loading position. An armored top or cover protects the gunners gun-ners from small arm and rapid fire projectiles. When the gun is raised into the firing position this cover is thrown back, assuming its original position po-sition when the weapon is again lowered. low-ered. Even to the eye of the uninitiated unini-tiated it would seem as though this vessel ves-sel will solve tho problem of harbor defense, de-fense, for it seems impossible to construct con-struct a better vessel, having the requisite speed, together with Hghl IT FIRES AND DOOGK8 DOWN OCT Of DANOKR. draft and guns that can be loaded and fired twice a minute If necessary. In disappearing carnages, such as the one tested, all the operations of loading, etc., are performed when the gun aud all its gear are absolutely protected. The gun is exposed only at the moment of firing, but none of the gunners are exposed at alL All the manipulations of , the gun are performed in an armored conning tower or in tho hold of the vessel below the water line. In too vessel proposed the- armor which protects pro-tects the vessel proper also protects the guns. In all other armored veKsela ore)' or barbett" must be built for the guns themselves.
