the secretary called the roll, and read
the statistical report for the past FIVE
months.
The Eighth Ward Harmonica Band,
aided by violin and guitar gave some
selections.
Nephi Y. Schofeld. of the Twentieth
Ward, gave an address on mental
and moral culture. His remarks were
particularly addressed to the young
people on whom our future progress
unquestioRably depends. The younger
people are gradually taking the places
of rhe older ones, who slowly but surely
are III the course of matt re passing from
our midst. The young must prepare
themselves by self-culture, both mental
and moral, to enable them to fill posi-
tons worthily, and properly use the
talents entrusted to them. Every
faculty within our natures can be
exercised to Il wise and good purpose.
This proper use will conduce to our inter
ests both here and hereafter. Culture
will better enable us to develop, aided
BY a stern determination of will power,
every faculty God has endowed US with.
The heart and the mind must act in
conjunction. Every Improvement of
our race, both mentally. morally aud
physically, is dependentupo the future
of the young people. Every one of the
youth must decide whether they will SO
improve themselves as to help forward
this work of regeneration
The Fifteenth Ward Male Quartette

Josiah Burrows of the Twenty-frst
Ward gave an address on David w.
Patten. the frs. prominent member OF
the Church who lost his life as q
martyr to the truth. Interesting
biographical items of his early life /;
becoming Latter-day Saint in Ia
diana, in 1882; his missions throughout
the States; his arrest in 1887, on o
charge of preaching false doctrine, and
his subsequent death in October, 1888,

Evan Stephens sang the new song,
"a Last Fond Look of Home the
words of which were written by John
Nicholson, and set to music by Joseph
J. Daynes.
Edwin f.. Parry, of the Sixteenth
ward, read an essay, How excellence IS
acquired"
George C. Lambert said the season OF
associations meeting once week is now
nearly at an end; but he would like the
interest to be still maintained, and II
possible the meetings be held qsitee as

God, and enjoy the blessings of the

The explosion in London, yester-
day, in the Admiralty Office, is
shrouded in mystery. The o4J'c
seems to have been to kill or brighten
an official who had made himself
very offensive to the workmen, and
this will probably be found to be the
real cause of the mischief This and
other incidents like 1t naturally lead
to the contemplation of the danger to
the would in the indiscriminate sale
Of dynamite, as sthe case in Amer
lea. It is a power so destructive
and so sure of its end, yet
may be used with SO much Sc
crecy, that eventually vicious people
will have more general resort to it
for purposes of personal revenge 1t
is Just the kind of arm that the
coward has been looking for these
many years. With it he can kill
with perfect impunity; he need not
run any personal risks. Such a
power should be manufactured and
sold only under the most perfect
system If safeguards. The attention
of legislators has already been called
to this subject, but ere many years
the subject will be pr, 'ed upon them
by i,lst suri, crimes as that in Lon

An item has been going the rounds
OF the press to the effect that George

Herald, had gone insane aud been
taken to the asylum at Lincoln, Neb.
The Register at Eagle Rock, Idaho,
Is our authority for saying that there
isn't a word of truth In the state
ment. Mr.. Crawford is attending to
his duties as editor of the Herald,
and although his health Is not robust

intimates that MI. era wford has
been the victim of one OF the most
cruel and heartless pieces of trickery
and treachery that las ever been
perpetrated in Idaho. The facts will
probably be developed in tie courts
Justice to Mr.. Crawford demands
that his brethren of the press should
set him right and that the wretch
who has wronged him should be
held up to public excavation.

Saward's annual on the coal trade
OF the country, recently issued, shows
that despite the depressed condition
of trade last year there was an in
crease OF production over the year
Iss3. The output for 1884 aggregated
1851 50. tons, as against sc, 575, 1874
tons tor 1857. The production of
Pennsylvania represents about IS
per cent. OF the total output, or 55,-
7lS,29S tons for last year. In this
report Montana il credited with a
production of $4,000 tons. Other
Western States and Territories are
credited as follows: California, 2OO,-
600 tons; Colorado. $500, 900 tons
Dakota, $4,000 tons: Idaho, $4,000
tons ; New Mexico, 35O,O 900 tons
Oregon, $1,000 tons: Utah, $4,000
tons !; Washington Territory, 100000

returns, but will make a better show

this Territory will be stimulated, to

The Texas cattle men do moi seem
to relish beng cnt of by quarantine
rules from Kansas, Colorado, We
ming, Nebraska, Missouri and other
States upon which they depend for
the sale of their surplus stock. They
have been making a serious protest
because the Governors Of the States
named have prohitsd the introduc-
ton Of Texas cattle within their re-.
spective domain. The aid Of Com
missioner Of Agriculture Colman
has now been sought and he appears
to be quite too ready to champion the
cause of Texas. That pleurc- pneu-
monia has existed and does now
exist to an alarming extent in Texas
has been established beyond a doubt.
That the disease is communicable
and dangerously contagious is equally
well assured. That Texas cattle men
do not hesitate to drive such diseased
cattle to market. when thay are not
prevented by law from doing so, is IN.
fortunately also a fact. Ia the light Il
these facts, quarantine against Texas
alone seemed to offer SAFETY to the
cattle OF the Northern States and
Territories. If Mr.. Colman can
stamp out the disease the country
will applaud hin, but until he does
he should not ask that all the cattle
on the plains be placed in danger
simply to please Texas.
