" =,
To the Editor:
Our conference is growing steadily in
numbers. as also in spiritual strength,
and though the fever scare has some
what hindered us in our labors, we
have by no means any cause to com
plain.
on October 3lst we had a very good
shower and since then the wind has
been blowing quite continuously and
today the weather is quite cool and we
look for n frost in the near future
which viii put quietus on the yellow
fever and then we can go to work with
some better success.
our Elders are In no danger at pres
emit, yet all the people are afraid of
strangers for fear of their having been
exposed to the fever. We rejoice to see
the cold weather, as 1t will be n relief
to the infected districts.
Crops are quite short in some parts
of the state, owing to the drowth, but
no one is suffering as yet, nor do we
think they will as all made enough to
do them through the winter.
The health of our conference has
been very good this fall and all are
working zealously for the cause of
truth.
About October LIST, Elders Stevenson
and Balford came into our conference
from their homes in Idaho and Utah
respectively. There We're also two
other new Elders who arrived here on
October eth, Elder Arthur C. Cand-
land from Mount Pleasant, Utah. and
Elder Lot Smith of Fielding, Utah.
All are feeling well and have entered
of their labors as all get when the ex-
element of the travel is over.
our Saints are well as far as we
know and are very jealous in their eff
forts to spread the Gospel and are liv-
ing their religion with the desire of
gaining salvation.

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why IL Il the only
remedy with millions OF families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debihtating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore

If in the enjoyment of good health,

ALBANY, May 24.-Gov. Black did not veto
near as many appropriations rs had bcen ex-
pected. The individual appropriations were
nearly all kissed through the Executive cham
Der. Comparatively few were left to die. The
Governor signed tho annual and supplemental
supply bills among tho last batch of bills. As
passed by the Legislature these two measures
carried appropriations aggregating $l,20000o.
The Governor has the right to veto any item In
these two bills and approve the rest. 1t was
thought he would veto items agRrcRating sew
cral hundred thousand dollars, but he did not,
The total of all tho items vetoed only amounted
TO Sl22, ,155. Among them were these:
For improvements at Randull's Island House
Supreme Court Library at Ncwburg and New
York, 81, 900 each.
For N. J. Dady, for purchasing building near
Kings County Farm 81 300.
To purchase copy Of the Revised Statutes pro-
BIS, 900.
The Governor vetoed tho appropriation of
S15, 900 for the State Board Of Health to pay
tuberculosis cattle claims with these words
"If the appropriation for this purpose was
ever justifable, which may be doubted, think
1t is now generally regarded as undesirable.

HUTCHINSON. Kan, May 24.-Samuel F. Cam
terbury, President of the Bank of Hutchinson,
that failed on April 30 last, and B. F. Mantz, a
bookkeeper in the bank, were arrested to-day,
charged with receiving money when their bank
was in failing condition.
This bank was opened a year ago. those in
terested having purchased the assets and as
sumed the liabilities of the Valley State Bank,
that had failed month before. f. L. Guthrie
put in $40 900 and local men $4,000 more.
Tho Metropolitan Bank of Kansas City
was to take $4,000 in stock. 1t was at
the instance of the Metropolitan that Canter-
bury was brought to this city from West
Plains. Mo-, and recommended as banker
Of wealth and reputation, the Metropolitan

and the only money invested was by Guthrie and
local men.
The deposits started out at $4,000. Later
they purchased tho st. John Bank, and got their
depositors by keeping s. w. McCandless, cashier
of the st. John Bank, in the bank. This in
creased the banks deposits to $l50.oo0.
Depositors began TO grow suspicious and
money was withdrawn until the banks failure.
when $60, 600 was left. 1t was hoped that the
Metropolitan would put up the money. but its
selling out to the Bank Of Commerce stopped all
hopes of its redeeming its promises, and SO the
warrants were served.
