The newly appointed board OF Ill

Constitution building, for organization
Saturday at u o'clock. John r. WIN

ty, D. o. Wiley, of Davis county ana
Abraham Hatch, of Wasatch county.
The only members absent were +. W.
Jennings and j. \. Melville.
The chairman announced that the
election of Vice-preSident, secretary
and a treasurer was in order, and on
motion of Mr.. Bamberger Nelson a.
I Empey was unanimously chosen as
Vice-president. and Elias y. Smith was
elected treasurer for the ensuing two
! years.
The election of a secretary was post
pcned until the next meeting of the
board.
/ On motion of Mr.. Sears, it was de-
clared that $3.50 insurance now on the
I grand stand at the fair grounds, was
sufficient for that building.
! The secretary was authorized to pay
any premiums due on the fair of
/ 1892.
The question of holding a fair for
1894 was discussed, and as The legisla-
/ tuTe had made provision for premiums
Mr.. Sears moved that the twenty-first
exhibition of the society be held in
Salt Lake on the ID, Sd. 4th, 5th. and
9Th days of October, 1894. Carried.
! On motion of John D. Peters the adj
mission price to the fair was placed at
| twenty-five cents for adults s;nd ten
cents for children. 1t was first decided
to make it twenty-five cents for adults
fifteen cents for children and ten cents
for school children. Mr.. Hatch, how
ever, made a plea for the country chill
dren, saying that they could not come
with 4 teacher, so the rate for chill
dren was made ten cents straight
The governor and secretary appeared
before the board and asked the use OF
the exposition building for the Utah
national guard. The governor stated
that the appropriation was small fol
the support of the militia and as the
exposition was territorial property
it might be used for the benefit of the
militia and money saved. He wanted
the standing of the militia to be the
best. and turning the money appro-
priated to other uses than payment OF
rents would help to accomplish the de
sired result.
On motion of Mr. Peters the appli
cation was granted and the matter Of
arranging details and rules was re
ferred to the president, vice-presiden
and chairman of the executive commit

The Deseret National bank has been
selected as the national depository and
the change from Walker Brothers,
formerly the Union National, will pro-
baby be made during the early part
of the week
Yesterday The Herald contained the
announcement that the Union National
bank had retired from the field of
finance and would hereafter be known
as Walker Brothers and with that
announcement went the prediction that
the Deseret National would be selected
as the depository for national funds.
The secretary of the treasury received
the notification of the change on Fri
day and yesterday afternoon came the
announcement from him of the selec-
ton of the Das1et National. Before
the transfer is made it will be neces-
sary for the bank to deposit with the
secretary of the treasury $4,000 in
government bonds This the Deseret
will be able to do at once, as consider
able of its reserves is invested in bonds
of the government.
There was quite a competition for
the depository. nearly all of the
national banks being in the race
While there is not much money in the
trust it gives a bank a prestige which
is much desired by any financial in
stitution. 1t is estimated that the posi-
ton of national depository is worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
Until the change is effected the new
government funds will be deposited il
Ogden with the Utah National bank.

Slowly, but surely succumbing to the
encroachments of consumption, e. G..
Foster held on an indictment charging
him with grand larceny, was yester-
day released from the penitentiary and
permitted to so on his own recogni-
Zance.
Judge Howats pity had been stirred
by the story of the prisoners woes and
on his motion an order was made al
lowing the doomed man to go into the
open air to wrestle with the disease
that has overpowered him. Fosters
case is a sad one in the light of devel-
opments. He was arrested on a charge
preferred by a drunken soldier who
had been in his saloon during the night
between two nymphs. The next morn
ing the soldier ascertained that his
money was gone and lodged complaint
against the keeper. Foster was exam
ined before Justice Gee, who careful
ly- scrutiniZed the evidence and then
ordered him released. The matter was
reopened before the grand jury and the
Indictment returned. The complaining
witness in the meantime has been
transferred to a Texas regiment and
will probably never be seen in Zion
again.

REJECTED THE BOND.
The American Agency Experiences
Some Difficulty in Court.


The American Commercial and Col
lecting Agency, who was last week di-
rected by Justice Lochrie to file a bond
for costs in the sum of 500 before pro-
ceeding further with its suit against
S. C. Ewing for IS, yesterday made an
effort to comply with the courts or
der but failed. The agent came in with
two names whom he represented as
perfectly responsible and submitted
them to the court. Justice Lochrie adj
iusted his glasses, scrutinized the first
name for a moment and addressing the
litigant, said:
My dear sir, don't you know better
than to ruin a blank bond with names
of that kind?'
The names were rejected, the bond
disappeared in the recesses of the
crestfallen agents pocket, and again
the hunt for sureties was begun. Some
decidedly racy disclosures are prom
