THE MORMON CHURCH.
Lecture BY Major Hill Before the
University Club.

OHlNcrS1Iy O1uD.
Major Hill read a highly interesting
paper last evening before the members of
the University club on 1.-The Mormon
Church" The major treated his subject
historically, governmentally and doctrin-
ally. Under the first head he gave an
account of Joseph Smith, the finding of
the plates on the hill of Cummorah, the
founding of the church, the settlement at
Nauvoo, the prosecutions and removal
to Winter Quarters and thence to Salt
Lake, short account OF the pioneers and
the establishment of the system in these
regions.
The plan of organization and govern
ment of the church was concisely and
lucidly explained, considering its very
complex nature. All members of the
church are supposed to hold an Office of
some kind, and the lecturer enumerated
the various offices, deacon, teacher, priest
OF the Aaronic order, priest of the Mel
chizedek order, elder, bishop, seventies,
high priest, high counselor, apostle and
president, and briefly explained the duties
pertaining to each.
1t has been the rule that the president
of the twelve apostles was. chosen as
first president, prophet, seer and revelat-
or, but this is an unwritten law and the
speaker said that when George @. Cannon
and Joseph f. Smith were chosen by
President Woodruff as his counselors it
was agreed that the rule spoken OF would
not necessarily obtain.
The various auxiliary organizations of
the church. such as the Sunday schools
Mutual Improvement societies, relief So
cieties trustees board of theological in
struction, etc, were mentioned and their
functions explained.
The creed and beliefs of the church were
dwelt upon at some length and extracts
read from church works explanatory OF
the doctrines and tenets of the Mormons.
After the reading Of the paper a short
discussion was INDUCED in and the major
answered various questions put to him
relative to the subject of his discourse
The paper was exceedingly interesting and
its merits were thoroughly appreciated
! by those who heard it.

SERIOUS STRIKE.

Engineers.

1t is Threatened By the Locomotive
Engineers.
ST. LOUIS, May ia special to the
Republic from Benson, Tex, says:
The most. serious strike ever known
in the southwest is threatened. The
grievance committee of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, which
has been to ST. Louis to lay the case
of Engineer Will Lanams before the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas officials, re-
turned today. After a conference the
company refused to reinstate Lanams
and the grievance committee entered
into a federation with all the organ
izations of railway trainmen, six in
number, and the entire system of road
has been organized and federated. A
committeeman said today: You can
state officially unless Engineer Lanams
is reinstated inside of five days there
will not be a wheel moving on any
part of the M K. & T. system. We
are organized for the fight, and every
order of railway trainmen is bound
with us that every wheel shall stop
within five days if Mr.. Lanams is not
put to work"
The ultima tum of the brotherhood
has been sent to the M. K. & I. head
quarters.

HOGS FOR MEXICO.


HOGS FOR MEXICO.
1t is pleasing to note that exporters
of heavy hogs to Mexico are again on
the market for class of porkers that
have been a drug on the market all
season. If these. shipments continue
the stock of surplus lard will soon
be reduced, much to the relief of pack
ers These shipments are made direct
from Kansas City to the City Of Mex
leo, without unloading, feed and water
being provided for the stock on the
trains, and are run in twelve car
lots, double deck cars, and the fastest
time possible is made with these trains.
The originator of the scheme of ship
ping live hogs to Mexico to beat the
governments out of the duty on lard,
made fortune the first six months.
PROVISIONS.
The provision business has been
fairly good the past week. Perhaps the
warm weather prevailing throughout
the east has had much to do with it.
Certainly the change has been very
gratifying; the percentage of increase
has been fully % per cent.
Sugar cured products have been in
the lead, running the smoke houses
clean out Of stocks and causing some
slight delays. Hams, moving for first
place, with breakfast bacon a close
second, while the outside lines, such as
picnic, Tennessee bacon and bJneless
hams, have had such a turning over
as they have not seen for a long time.
The foreign and car load demand has
been good, making the week all told
one of very satisfactory tonnage.
Values continue in buyers favor, and
almost without change.
MOVEMENTS OF SHEEP.
The way feeders are moving their
holdings it looks like they would soon
reach the end of their string at the
four principal markets. On Wednes-
day of this week the showing was 3d.
600, against $1,000 same day last year,
with an average sum of 10000 a day for
the week. Prices have kept up remark
ably we'll, and packers seem TO have a
place for all Corners.
The loss to flock masters the past
week has been very heavy on both
young lambs and ewes. One breeder
says he had 1000 lambs dropped, and
lost them all. The weather has been
the worst ever known. Unless warm
weather soon comes it is hard to de-
termine the loss on all classes of stock
AT THE STOCK YARDS.
The weeks business at the Union
Stock Yards has been light the past
week, but little stuff coming in; prices
good and fair demand for cattle and
sheep.
E. T. Clark of Pennington rolled in
with fifty-six steers that weighed 1929
and were good enough to bring cents
and were bought by the Utah S. com
pany.

in with seventeen good natives that

DEATH OF JUDGE GLOVER.


 The sudden death of Judge Glover on Saturday afternoon last cast a gloom over the whole town. His illness devel- oped into pneumonia, which pvoved fatal. The late Judge Glover was born in Philadelphia on April 7, 1857, and was son of Samuel and Emily Glover. His father was for several years judge of probate in Fairfield, the position which his son now holds. Judge Glover received his education at Yale college and was grad from that institution in 1878. He then took course at the l Columbia Law school and finished there in 1880. He WAS admitted to practice ln New York state in the same year and in 1881 came to this state and WAS admitted here. He took up his residence in Fair | field, where his father then resided. He at once won a warm place in the hearts of the people of Fairfield and the next year was elected to the office of judge of probate, which he has held continuously ever since. In 1883 he was elected to represent the town of Fairfield in the general assembly and in 1889 was re- turned. During the latter session Judge Perry of Fairfield was speaker of the house and Judge Glover was appointed chairman of the judiciary committed If was at this session that law was en- acted establishing criminal court of common pleas in this county. Hon k. Jay Walsh, ex-secretary of state, was appointed to the judgeship and Judge Glover was appointed prosecuting at- torney. He held that office at the time of his death. In 1885 he was member of the state committee appointed to re. wise the probate laws. He married Miss Helen Wardwell in 1884. Mrs Glover formerly resided in New York and is daughter of Jonathan Sturges of Fair field. He is survived by his wife, two sons and two daughters. Judge Glover was one of the best known lawyers ol the county. His personal manner anc kindly disposition won hosts of friends
 and his early death has caused sincere
 regret on all sides. The funeral ser
 vices were attended from St Paul
 church on Wednesday morning, th' edifice being crowded. The honorar. bearers were E. W. Harrell, c. B. Jen nings, Judge A. M. Talmadge, Bridge port; Judge R. J. Walsh of Greenwich J. A.
