A petition to the Board of county
commissioners, asking for an investi-
cation of the county affairs is being
circulated in town, and, We under
stand in most every precinct in the
county. We don't know who is the
prime mover in this matter, but We
consider that it is il move in the right
direction. The petition that is circu-
lating in town is being signed by near
ly every II to whom it is presented,
as all feel that it is due to the tax
payers and to the county officers tina,
a full investigation of county matters
should be had ut as early q dav rs pos
sible. The interests of the people de.
mand it. For eight years the county
has been running deeper and deeper
i'll debt, and as all residents know, ha.
comparatively nothing to show for it,
and 1t Is but natural that the people
whose taxes are enormously high
should want to know what is being
done with their money.
We hope that the investigation, i
one is granted, which it undoubtedly
will be. We hope that it will he carrict
out thoroughly and in a business lik,
manner, showing the exact status O
county affairs, and We hope hal III
spirit of malice or i'll feeling will h,
allowed to influence the actions O
anyone, but that in justice and fair
hess to the people and the county
officers, alike, the investigation b'
speedily and thoroughly accomplish
ed. II everything pertaining to coun
ty affairs are found all straight tn,
people will cheerfully pay the small
cost of an examination for the salts
faction of knowing that such is tn,
case, and the CHIEF will gladly pub
lish the fact. II, on the other hand
there has been crooked transactions
and the county has been unlawfu!ly
dsfrauded, the people want to know it
and they viii cheerfully pay the ex
pense incurred and feel that they ar,
putting money into their pockets 10y
stopping the leaks and bringing the
guilty parties to justice.
Let no one who has an opportunity
fail to sign the petition.

and they are only waiting the arrival
Of a man with the apparatus and the

are quite sure he will be here in the

that they expect him in i few days.
Ii the factory isn't built within tn,

The Mormon Question.


The Mormon question is bound sooner
or later to arrive at such proportions that
it will have to be dealt with in a serious
manner. Already the spread Of Mormon
ism is great. 1t continues to grow more
and more as the years roll by. From the
handful Of adherents of which the church
was composed when they located at Salt
Lake il has grown to be great
people, possessed of ample means to sup
port themselves and to carry out great
projects for increasing their growth and
wealth and extending their power. While
a great deal Of talking and writing in re-
gard to the suppression Of Mormonism is
done by the people Of the United States at
large, nothing has ever come of it in
the way of checking the evil. which
has become 80 firmly rooted that
its votaries laugh at threatened measures
to destroy it. While we are talking the
Mormons are working quietly but effect
lively to strengthen themselves. They
arc increasing their possessions in the
west. turning the desert into gardens, in
creasing their manufacturing facilities,
and doing whatever they can to make
themselves an Independent, self-sustaining
eminent If interiered with, and prepared
If necessary TO seek other lands and an
other home beyond our borders. 1t is
amazing to find with what zeal and ener-
gy they carry on their PROSECUTING
schemes. Their emissares are in all
parts Of Europe and the success of their
efforts is attested by the number of i'm
migrants which reach our shores bound
for Salt Lake and vicinity. We learn OF
them in places where their presence was
not dreamed Of They are indefatigable,
and II they have not purpose and hope
their acts belle them.
The recent murder Of Bishop Smith,
who was at one time a man of high stand
ing and influence in the Mormon church,
but incurred its deadly hatred by his ex-
posure of the Mountain Meadow Massacre,
in which he was participant, is an event
which invites the attention Of our people.
His body was found in such condition
that little doubt is entertained that he was
murdered, and the belief is strong that
Mormons did the deed. lie himself be-
lieved fully that he would die by the
hands Of that people. After convicting
John d. Lee of the Mountain Meadow
massacre, he said: 81 know the Church
will kill me sooner or later-it is only a
question of time" After returning from
the trial. by order of the Church his wife
left him. and he started South and lived
in Arizona. In that Territory two at
tempts were made to kill him.
If it shall be found that he was assassi-
mated by Mormons it will add another to
the long list OF crimes committed by them.
which in the end will kindle such a flame
OF wrath against them as will effectually
destroy them forever.

The President bore the morning dressing
of his wound without fatigue; it continues
to look well and discharge adequately. After
the wound was dressed he ate with relish
breakfast of solid food and has since passed
comfortable morning during which he had
pleasant nap. The quantity of nourish-
ment now taken daily is regarded as quite
sufficient to support his system, and favor the
gradual increase in strength, which is plainly
observable. At present his pulse is l00
temperature 9S.5; respiration 10.
