signs-PersonaI and Political.
The regular quarterly conference of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints was held in the tabernacle at Nephi,
Saturday and Sunday last. Notwithstand-
Ing the inclemency of the weather, the con-
ference was well attended, the house being
crowded to its utmost capacity. Hundreds
OF people from the surrounding settlements
came IN, many of them no doubt being at
tracted by the announcement that Presi-
dent Joseph E. Smith and Apostle T. Nj.
Lyman would be present. Sickness at
home detained President Smith, but
Apostle Lyman was there, aud although
of La grippe, occupied good
portion of the time and gave ONE excel
lent instructions. During his remarks on
Sunday afternoon, Apostle Lyman took oc-
caslon to refer to the late political change
which reference for moment invited the
attention of everyone present as if each
expected repetition of the John Henry
Smith offences. In this, however, all were
agreeably disappointed, as he merely ad
ylsed all to use their best judgment in
making
CHOICE OF POLITICAL PARTIES
and then to respect each others Judgment
in order to avoid feelings of enmity or
malice one against another.
The first presidency of the stake, Apostle
Lyman and others went to Mona immedi-
ately after the conference adjourned to be
present at the appointment and confrma-
ton OF new bishop for the ward to sue
coed Bishop John Kienke who has been
honorably released to fill a vacancy in the
high council Elder James H. Newton Was
unanimously sustained as his successor
with Edwark Kay, sr. and Orson Williams
as his counsellors.
DEMOCRAT RESIGNS.
County Superintendent D. K Brown,
whom the Democrats elected last August
over two influential opponents, one Re-
publican-Liberal and the other straight
out Republican, has resigned his office in
order to accept a partnership in the firm of
McElwee, Pierce q Goddard, of Salt Lake
city. Hon. F. w. Chappell has been APP
pointed to fill the vacancy. That MIR.
Chappel will fill the position with honor to
himself and the county goes without say
ing, as he has amply proved his ability to
do so while holding said Office under the
Peoples party administration. Mr.. Chap
pell is one of Juab county's brightest and
! staunchest young Democrats and an ear
nest worker IN the cause of education.
He is at present laboring in Mona as prin-
! cipal of the district school at that place.
He held the same position for several years
at Nephi, but resigned to accept the Office
of prosecuting attorney for Juab county.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
Mr.. Goddard, of the finn of McElwee
Pierce u Goddard, of Salt Lake city, was
at Nephi Saturday and Sunday.
! Elmer Taylor and wife, of Juab, were
among our conference guests.
Sheriff Henroid and family have taker
up their abode In Eureka where they eX-
pect to reside for several months.
Everything is quiet In political circles
but 1t IS only that calm which precedes the
mighty storm. There is no election to be
held until next August excepting that OF
one school trustee, which occurs III July
Most OF the leading offices are now filed by
Repu blicans who were elected on the Peo-
ple's ticket nearly two years ago
OF course they and their party
will make a strong pull to hole
their vantage ground, and the Democrat
encouraged by their sweeping success las
summer in which they elected every mar
on their ticket, will go in with determine
ton to carry everything before them
Everybody seems to realize the great i'm
portance Of the coming struggle, as it
result will no doubt foretell the outcome o.
future elections for at leasta decade
The town is billed for the "Sea of Ice
winch Will be presented by the Home
Dramatic club at Foote's Opera house III,
22d and 23d of the present month.
The Home Rule Bill finds no opposition
here save a few who hold that nothin!
short of statehood should ever have beef
asked for. They claim that the bill will b.
considered as partial acknowledgment o
the truthfulness of certain slanderou
charges preferred by few Liberal Re
publicans whose highest aims are to elevat
self and crush Democracy.
COUNTY MUTILATIoN.
Our legislators will do well to conside
and reconsider the bill introduced by Nh
Pierce, having for its object the mutilatio
of Juab and Tooele counties. A postpone
ment of the question for a couple of year
will work no very great hardships upo
anyone, but final abandonment Of tina
region should it prove to be wildca
boom, would be followed by debt and dis
aster to hundreds of people. 1t takes NOR
to make a country than paper railroad
and newspaper puffs, and there will
ample time for the change when sue
things in Deep Creek become more tang
