Statement Made by Apostle Heber J.
Grant at LOgar, Yesterday.

Grant at LOEar n esterday.
Logan, MAY 3.-There was very
large attendance at the stake conference
today. In the morning, Apostle Grant
spoke on the position of the authorities
on the manifesto. He took up the ques-
tions asked by the Journal, and answered
that Moses Thatcher had not been tried
nor judged, and said that it was wrong
10 Judge without hearing. It was his
belief, however, that Moses was in the
dark.
In the afternoon. Apostle Grant spoke
on obedience.
Joseph F also took he same text, and
said it was the duty Of the Saints TO fol
low the advice OF their leaders without
questions. He denied that the church
had sought to unite with the state; but
whenever its influence was used il was
for the good of the people.
The manifesto was then read By Apos-
tie Grant with emphasis on certgin sec
tons.
About two-thirds Of those present
voted. From twenty TO twenty-five
hands were raised against it.
Moses Thatcher, IT, and wife stood
up and voted "No."
At high council meeting recently
held three members refused to endorse
the manifesto-George W. Thatcher,
Aaron Farr, IT,, and s. A. Langton.
Others, who had declared their opPOsi-
ton. did not oppose it,

Ottumwa, Iowa, May 5.-Returns 10
the office of Secretary Walsh of the
Democratic state central committee,
show that twenty-three county conven-
tons have been held in Iowa. These
counties had a representation of 244 in
the Marshalltown convention last year,
and will have voting strength OF 2o5
at the coming convention at Dubuque.
In 1905 at Marshalltown. los votes were
cast for free silver and I39 for gold.
They will cast at Dubuque, if delegates
obey the instructions of their county
conventions, IA for free silver and o.
for gold. At Marshalltown the same
twenty-three counties gave "a majority
against free coinage. At Dubuque they
will cast a silver majority of s. These
counties in 1895 constituted - per cent
of the total voting strength of the Mar
skalltown convention. In 1890 they
constitute Il per cent of the total num-
Der of delegates at Dubuque. In the
same counties at Marshalltown A5 per
cent of their vote was cast for silver and
81 per cent for gold.
AT Dubuque they will east 90 per cent.
for silver and 81 per cent for gold. This
shows conclusiveIy thatthe state will be
for free silver, as the counties yet to
hold conventions are the unquestioned

Indianapolis, May 6.-That the In
diana republican convention will IN
struct its delegates for Mckinley when
If meets tomorrow, seems an assured
fact tonight. Eight out of the thirteen
districts in the state, at caucuses held
this evening instructed their rePresen-
tatives on the resolutions committee TO
vote for the incorporation of Mckinley
resolutions in the platform and one dis
trict. the Fourth, refused to vote against
Instructions, merely tabling the resolu-
lions. Thus Mckinley and ani-Mc-
Kinley forces alike concede to settle
the matter unless the unexpected hap
pens, and the unexpected in this instance
is the nature of a speech which it is
vaguely rumored General Harrison may
make to the convention tomorrow. The
ex-president has been invited to address
the gathering, and what he may do and
say, providing he accepts the invitation
is the element of uncertainty in the
situation. It is generally believed the
general will appear, and it is also De-
lieved no impending sensation is hidden
under that appearance, but disquieting
rumors, unveri6ed but persistent, are
aoating about republican headquarters
to the effect that stampede to Harrison
,viIl follow his address. The fact that
both ex-United States Marshal Daniel
Pansden and John c. New are out in in
terviews declaring no Mckinley in
structions will be adopted if the ex-
president makes a speech, is pointed to
as significant but the Mckinley men
laugh at the idea and declare they will
have a walk over
Aside from the presidential feature
the main interest in the convention
centers in the race for the gubernatorial
nomination. There are thirteen active
candidates in thesfeld and at midnight
tonight every one of them expressed
himself confident of victory.

Omaha, May s.-CoioneI r ebert g.
Ingersoll in Omaha today discussing
politics said: Mckinley will be nomi-
mated al 81. Louis and have lots Of dele
gates 10 spare. The people associate
Mckinley with protection and they as
sociate protection with prosperity They
think hard times was created by fooling
with the tariff and they want good times.
They are tired OF Cleveland and demo-
cratic mistakes. They want Mckinley
and they will have him. Allison and
Reed are good men-the best kind-and
would make excellent presidents, but
they will have TO wait see that Man
ley, Quay and Clarkson are whistling
through their grave yards, but it is no
use. Mckinley will beat the field and
have tleasta hundred delegates to spare.
He is a good, square man, leyel-headed,
and is well versed in prac-
teal affairs"

WENT TO THE WALL
CoaIter a. Snelgrove Music House
Makes an Assignment.

Salt Lake City, May 6-The Coalter
K SneIgrove company an old established
music house, made an assignment yes
terday to E. S. Snelgrove for the benc-
fit of creditors.
The house was originally established
in 1884, and was incorporated in 1891,
with Fergus Coalter as president. The
latter retired from the management in
April, 1894, and established the firm Of
Daynes & Coalter, although the old cor
poration still bears his name.
The assignment was decided upon late
MONDAY night, and the deed conveys TO
the assignee all the stock in hand, book
accounts and other property.
The list of preferred creditors is very
small, and the total of their claims light.
The list is as follows.
Deseret bank, overdraft ..... $500 90
II. Dinwoodey, rent .... 345 90
Rawlins & Critchlow, legal service II 30
Thomas Ashworth, salary 49,. 100 %
O. n. Vine, salary. II ~
II. A. Teasdel, note. ....... $50 90
J. II. Hurd, legal service. ANNA. 50 90
As to the total of the liabilities and
assets, only an estimate can be given at
this time, although the assignee will
have the exact amount in very short
while On April Ist Statement was
prepared, which is perhaps approximate
ly correct, allowing for such changes as
the months dealings might make. tits

His Ill.Timcd SnOOze.
The long list of fatalities which have
occurred on the street railway came
Very nearly being increased by one
name late Sunday night. The fault this
of the company, for it was the persons
own fault that the accident occurred.
Richard Blight. of Clark street. had
not been spending the Sabbath in a way
exactly commanded In the bible. To-
ward night he was well under the intiu-
ence of liquor and could hardly walk
home. In some manner he lost his way
and wandered w toward Anthracite
park. Here he was suddenly overcome
by Il tired feeling and lay down. AS it
happened he lay down across the street
car tracks. The last car down came in
sight about the time Blight was dream
ing pleasant dreams. Fortunately.
however, the moAorman saw the figure
lying on the track and managed to have
his car pretty well stopped when It
struck.
The car struck the man but it did not
have enough momentum to carry it over
the body. 1t dragged it along, though
for some distance before the car was
brought to a stand still. The unfortu-
nate man was then placed upon the car
and brought to this city, where he was
taken to DR.. Bailey's office. DIR. Bailey
and Dr. jenkins decided that it would
be best to take the man to the hospital
which was accordingly done. Here 1t
was found that the hip had been diSlO-
Gated. The body Is also covered with
bruises and it Is feared that there Is
internal injuries.
