in September, 1850, created instead the Territory of Utah. President Fillmore appointed Brigham Young Governor; and he took the oath of office February 3, 1851. Stenhouse says, Rocky Mountain Saints, p. 275. President Fillmore appointed Brigham on the recommendation of Colonel Thomas L. Kane, and upon the assurance of that gent president with merciless rigor, and hunted down Gentiles and apostate Saints under the combined influence of fanaticism, greed, and private vengeance. Elder Stenhouse, in the thirty-sixth chapter of his Rocky Mountain Saints, gives a terrible picture of the outburst of fanaticism in the Reformation of 1856. This was a revival prove the downfall of the kingdom; Gentiles would be protected, Danites punished, and the machinery of the church dislocated. Resistance was resolved upon. Stenhouse says (page 353): The Saints had no time now to lose; the enemy was approaching their homes. The leaders preached war, prayed war, taught war; while saintl

The mode of filtering air is by a wire screen, which arrests floating and flying bodies of any magnitude, and then exposes the current of air to the contact of water. The most common exemplifications of the devices are to be found in the railroad-car ventilators. In Ruttan's patent, January 9, 1866, the air is caught by hoods above the car-roof, and led into a chamber where the plashing water absorbs the dust and

Elder Jennings is living with a single wife; Stenhouse, Elder no longer, is living with a single wife.

He issued a book, Brigham's destroying angel being the life confession and startling Disclosures of the notorious Bill Hickman written by himself with explanatory notes by J. H. Beadle (1872). Beadle also published Western Wilds (1877), Life in Utah (1870), The undeveloped West (1873), and The Story of Marcus Whitman Refuted in American Catholic historical researches (1879).
