d. d. Macarthur presiding.
After the usual preliminaries
Prest. d. D. Macarthur said in
substance, / am pleased to see SO
many of you here this afternoon
to hear what we have to say about
our general conference. We had a
very good conference. Nothing
particular new was given, but we
had very good teaching by the
speakers and a very good spirit
was manifest all through the con-
ference. There was large turn,
out Of the people, the Tabernacle
was full as also the Assembly Hall.
Said the teachings was to the
effect that the Saints must listen
to the council of those who are
placed to preside over us in the
church both in temporal as well as
spiritual affairs, and that the church
members must be subject to those
whom God has placed to lead US
and we need not neglect our duty
to the state as citizens Of the state
by keeping the laws Of God
There never was time that we
did not have calm after a storm;
and now the way is opened for a
great many Of our elders to 60 to
the nations Of the earth to carry
the good news Of the gospel to
mankind. The presidency are adj
yising those who have charge OF
the saintsin the stakes and wards
and the teachers are required to
to be diligent in looking after the
saints that none may be lost.
The people are askedto pay their
tithing and their offerings that the
poor may be looked after. The
gospel must be preached, as the
nations Of the earth must be warn
ed by this people who hold the
holy priesthood. / desire that we
may have the light Of the spirit to
guide us Alright, that we may be
prepared to receive the blessings
that God has in store for us IS his
people.
A. W. Twins, president Of the
Mexican Mission, said, [ am thank
full to my father in heaven for this
privilege of meeting with you here
today. The feeling of calling this
place my home hangs with me as
this is where [ have spent the most
OF my early manhood. While !
have been absent from you, in Mex
leo, | have had many pleasant re-
collections of you here:
There are eight settlements OF
Saints in Mexico. I visited all OF
them and / found some who have
not been visited by any OF the
leaders of the church and yet l find
the same spilit manifest among
them all as exists among all the
saints. That is, they are seeking
to keep the commandments OF God
and are striving to live their religion

Ting that country that were en-
countered in settling this and other
counties, and although they are
a long way from the body of the
church, it is necessary that some
be on the front and it is, right that
they hold fast to that which they
have obtained. We should be very
careful that we do our duty and
keep the commandments Of God
and keep ourselves pure and teach

A HEAVY FAILURE.

National Bank of Illinois Closes its
Doors-Was q Large Concern.
Chicago. Dec. 23.-The National
Bank of Illinois, one of the oldest and
best known banking institutions in the
city, with assets of between $l2, OOO,-
900 and $15, 100000, closed today.
The following notice was posted on the
doors before banking hours:
''This bank is IN the hands of the
national bank examiner, by order of
the controller of the treasury.
This action was decided upon at
meeting of the directors last night
after the bank had been suspended from
the Clearing House Association of
Chicago.
OF the sixteen banks that cleared
through the National Bank of Illinois,
two are closed-E. s. Dyer & Co and
Warmansdorf & Heineman. These two
are mortgage loan banks and savings
societies in small way, and their
failure is not expected to affect any
business houses. The assets of E. s.
Dyer 8 Co. are given at $1,000, 900;
liabilities, 81 400, Warmansdorf's
assets are $650,0O0; liabilities. $780,
600. The Security Title & Trust Com
pany was appointed receiver for both
firms.
Six banks have made arrangements
to clear through other banks, and the
remainder of the sixteen are making
similar arrangements as fast as possible
The failure was a great surprise in
financial and husiness circles The
cause of the suspension, as given in
resolutions, are "unwarrantable and
ipjudicious loans.'

Costly Building in Pittsburg De-
stroyed.
Pittsuburg, Dec. 21.-The beautiful
and costly Casino building in Schelley
Park was destroyed by fire early this
morning. The flames originated from
the bursting Of a large ammonia cylin-
der in the ice machine of the skating
rink. The loss is estimated at $780,
900.
The explosion occurred at 2:15 A. N.
The fire department. responded prom pt-
ly, but considerable time was lost get
ting effective streams on the building
on account of deep hollow, which ex-
tends alongside where the fire started.
Noxious vapors which filled the in
terror prevented the fiemen from en-
tering the Casino and fighting the
flames from the inside.
By 4 O'Clock the whole structure was
burning and made grand sight. The
Casino cost $500, 600 and the equipment
more than 100000 more.
During the confagration bridge
across the hollow was crowded. When
the fire appeared at the eastern end Of
the balcony and communicated with
the bridge there was general scatter
ing. Many spectators were cut off
and compelled to pass into the park.

Three Who PartOOk OF 1t Died In
Terrible Agony, Three Are Insane
and Many Are Dangerously Ill.
Wheeling, w. Va, Dec. 22.-Ad-
ditional details from Benwood, the new
oil field in Monroe county o., concern
ing the poisoning from drinking "es-
sence of cinnamon" substitute for
whisky, sold at a speak-easy, confirm
the first reports. Three well-knwon
me.i are dead. several are seriously i'll,
and three insane.
1t seems that one of the stockkeepers
al Benwood got hold of the fact that
Wheeling drug firm was putting up
preparation called ''essence of cinna-
mon," which contained large per-
centage of alcohol. The merchant laid
in large supply of the stuff and in.
formed the people about that he had
good thing. 1t was received yesterday,
and he sold great deal of it. Several
who partook of the "essence" soon
became ill and three of them, after ter
rible suffering, died.
The symptoms were the same in all
cases. The first man taken ill was W.
H. Price, on whose farm the Fisher
Oil Company drilled it's first well. Be-
fore physician could arrive, he was
dead. He died in awful agony. Mr..
Price was one of the most pro1ninent
and wealthy citizens. His royalties on
his farm aggregated $4,000 a month.
He leaves widow and one child.
Charles Herbert, butcher Of Sarges,
O., was the next attacked and he was
quickly followed to eternity by Thomas
Clegg, an oil driller. Others who
were attacked by the same symptoms,
but are still alive, are Colonel Clegg,
Henry Roth and a cook in a boarding
house.
About fifteen other persons are suf-
fering from the effects of the poison.
A number of physicians are on the
ground, and hope to save their lives.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins 3 Co.'s Review of
Trade.

Comparative quietness ruled in wheat
last week, the volume of business fall
ing off largely on account of the
smaller cash demand and the fact that
some mills have closed down. This
circumstance was seized upon by the
short dealers as an excuse to beat prices
down. They did not stop to consider
that mills in the Northwest shut up
shop temporarily-that is the mills To-
Gated at the head of the lakes did-for
the purpose of making some necessary
repairs, and also to get ready for Janu-
ary business. However, any excuse
down, no matter how absurd or ridi-
culous it may appear. As result of
this one piece of news from Duluth and
Superior, May wheat in Chicago sold
down to 7914c, with, however, quick
recovery. Another thing that helped
the descent was the continuation of the
December deliveries by elevator people.
They were very light on the first of the
present month, as is well known by
everybody in the trade, but since that
date have increased to such an extent
ds W 1odu W bu0 AmpIos61Ou buAb WdI0s
housemen wanted to take their profits
and let the wheat go ont. Outside
holders of December were, Of course,
alarmed over these deliveries, and liqui-
dated post haste, thus the wheat found
final lodging place at point Of ori-
gination.
The foreign news is just as mystify-
ing as ever, cablegrams bring only par
tiai encouragement, quoting prices
weak and depressed one day with little
or no change, and the next day "a turn
dearer." Russian shipments were fair
last week. The visible supply for the
week made good decrease, showing a
reduction of 2,O28.0 900 bushels. This
was surprise and much larger than
the trade expected.
In corn there is a very interesting
market to report. Prices have not
changed since the last review.
In oats dullness is the rule. The
market is uninteresting. Quotations
show loss of about 10.

A FATAL BOAT RIDE.

Three Young Men Attempted to Cross
the Swift Hood River.
Hood River, Or, Dec. 23.-Charles
Bell, Carl Woods and w. W Edger-
man, working on the flume Of the irri-
CATION ditch where it crosses Hood
river, about twelve miles from town,

very rapid, and, while crossing this
afternoon, the boat beca unmansge-
able and started down stream, striking
a rock, capsizinz and throwing the I'M
fortunate men out and at the mercy Of
the cold, rushing water. Bell, being
an old log driver, managed to reach
shore in safety. Woods and Edgerman
were drowned. The bodies were not
recovered.
A rescue party will endeayor to re.
cover the bodies before they float out
into the Colubmia. Woods and Ed.
german were both single men. Woods
was resident of Hood River, but Ed.
germans residence is unknown, as he
had but lately arrived here.
