To District No. II:
AS the school report published
in the HERALD of Sept. 18th was
charged in a lengthy criticism by
the editor-to be partly false and
misleading, we deem it our duty
to make reply.
The school report as published
was in part as follows: "The books
have been kept in the most careless
and unbusiness like manner, no
receipts showing amounts placed TO
our credit can be found, no dates
were made of warrants and the
books had not been balanced since
Feb. "a, 1895, and no report was
made at end of school year in 1896
as required by law" etc.
The article of criticism and in
situations following this report
touched on the report very little
but it was made an occasion fol
airing the EDITORS feelings and il
such a way that it is very evident
to the reader that the article was
prompted by malice.
AS no names were mentioned IL
the report and not even hint wa
given as to who kept the books, tn
HERALD's explanation reminds on
of the old adage, chat a guilt,
conscience needs no accusers."
Mr.. Taylor says he has no de
sire to enter into a controvers,
with his neighbors-but the ne'
board having thrown DOM tn
gauntlet he deems his remarks no
out of place. Now the school re
port was made in good faith, it wa
due the district and Mr.. Taylor
name was not mentioned. Neithe
was there the least insinuatio
towards any one, but was plat
statement of facts exactly as the
exist. Very little was known as
who kept the books, and, so far
the district was concerned, it WI
immaterial who kept them, ii
people want toe facts only. NJ
TAYLOR in a former issue cast insi
uating reflections upon the truste
and especially upon the teach
who was selected as principal
our school, and of whom he knit
nothing about, whatever, except
he got manufactured street goss
Upon what pretense then can n

Taylor say the trustees threw down
the gauntlet, or upon what grounds
can he justify such an uncalled for
article, when the trustees did not
even mention his name.
No attention would have been
given to Mr.. Taylor's comments
had he not said that at least part
of the report was absolutely false.
l do not see how any man can
make such assertions when it is
not a case of argument, for the
books are here containing the facts
and speak for themselves.
He first says it is absolutely false
that no report was made in 1896.
Let us see if it isl The school
report says, "No report was made
at end of the school year in 1896 as
required by law" Now the end OF
the school year is Aug. 31st, and
the law requires a full annual
report to be made to the Co. Supt
on Sept. LIST, the beginning Of the
school year. (sec. 45 school laws)
The school report said end Of the
school year and had nothing what
ever to do with the meeting helC
at election in June, when Mr.. Tay
lor made his report and which is no
required by law at that time. Nov
this leaves Mr.. Taylor in one o
two positions. He is either ignor
ant of the law in this case, or h
has purposely misapplied dates t
clear his own conduct.
He next says that l was clerk i
1897 and was unavoidably absen

Death of William Coates.

In the pride OF early manhood when
future prospects seemed to bud and
blossom, surrounded by u loving vile
aud young family VIM. Coates heard the
gentle cali Of his Maker and his spirit
has gone back to the God who gave 1t.
Hrs days OF trial and nights OF suffering
are now ended and peacefully his body
rests on the bosom OF mother earth to
await the trump that shall again call 1T
Into action. For years sickness and
affection has been his lot but he has
had determined ambition and a strong
constitution which has enabled him to
bravely fight LIES battle, but at last
the great conquer, death, has laid him
low. All who have known him can say
that he has not lived in vain. lie has
been good citizen and has led an ex-
amplary life as religious man and when
the mists were beginning to clear away
and the shores OF another world glim-
mer in the distance he could call his
loved ones around hun, give them
parting BLESSING and testify: 81 know
that the Church OF Jesus Christ OF
Latter-day Saints is the Church OF
God "
He has been i'll for some time and has
consulted number of doc.o but they
could do nothing for him and he
gradually grew weaker until Friday
night when he passed away. He was
conscious until nearly the end.
Mr.. Larkin and son, Of Ogden took
charge OF the remsins and directed the
funeral which took place at the meeting
house Sunday afternoon. AS he has
been a member OF the Lehi Silver Band
since its organization the boys turned
out to pay their last respects to him.
Their horses and wagon was draped and

instrument was draped and carried by

residence and viewd the remains and

inconvenient and inferior quarters.
Who shall decide what ones shall be
thus Disseminated against? Will
you be satisfied if your child is sent
to some dingy, i'll furnished room over
business house, while your neigh
boris child attends comfortable and
well equipped room? The school
board is required by law to give equal
school facilities to every child in the
district. How can it do this under
present conditions? This is not a
question to get mad or call names
over. Mr.. Picken remarked that he
hardly saw what bearing it had on
the argument to call attention to his
bad luck in having been born in
Canada, particularly when he had
tried by continuous residence of q
years in Kansas to atone for the
crime. 1t is simply question of
town pride and of doing justice to the
little children.
The REGISTER cannot believe that
the defeat of the first proposition was
due to anything else than over con-
fidence on the part of the good people
of this town.
Having learned now that an cleo
tiOn will not carry itself, there ought
to be no doubt of the result next Mon
day. Every good citizen, women,
remember, as well as men, ought to
go to the polls and vote. That would
settle the matter.

CROWELL CRAWFORD.

The marriage of A. w. Crawford, OF
Humboldt, to Miss Mary Crowell,
who has for many years been a
missionary among the Mormons of
Utah and Idaho rather took her many
friends by surprise. The event oc-
Cured on August 81, at the home of
her brother, E. +. CrowelI, of Allen
Center, DR.. l.. l. Drake officiating,
with forty or more of her old time
friends as witnesses.
The decorations, which were taste
fully arranged, occupied a room made
memorable as the home of the worthy
and loved father of the bride. After
the impressive words of the Rev. DR..
were said and our friends, the con-
tracing parties had assented to all
the good brother required of them.
the merry making of the elderly
audience was enough to convince the
most dignified that a little nonsense
now and then is relished by the best
men and women too. When cOngratn-
lations of all were over we were in
vited to partake of wedding dinner
such as Mrs CrOwell and her eff
ficient helpers are known, about every
two years, to prepare.
Mrs. Betsy Crosby, of Rome, Ohio,
was present and will visit friends
here. Miss Lottie Leonard, who has
been Miss CrOwell's chum in the mis-
siOnary work these many years and
who came with her to see the knot
well tied, favored the audience with
some good violin accompaniment to
the organ and also took the crowd
with her Photographic outfit, and is
now on her way back to Utah to take
up her work again. The Misses
of Humboldt, and Mr..
Morris and family, of lola, were pres
ent. In the early afternoon the
friends departed wishing the bride
a long and happy sail over the pleas
and seas of welded life. J. -.

AS To TIE SCHOOL BoNns

1t was Oppressively warm Tuesday
evening, and the people who favor the
school bonds thought it was not neces-
sary for them to go to hear an argu-
ment 10 convince them they are right,
while the people who oppose the
bonds did not want to hear an argu-
ment which might convince them
they are wrong. Hence the audience
which gathered at the Opera House
to hear what Prof. Picken had to say
about the needs of our schools was
small. Mr.. Picken spoke as fully and
earnestly, however. as if the hall had
been crowded, and his array of facts
and arguments was so strong that it
is hard to see how anyone could fail to
be convinced by it. Here are som of
them, set oat as briefly as possible,
and we believe that every citizen who
has the educational interests of the
town at heart owes them thoughtful
and unprejudiced consideration.
First, as to the need of additional
room:
AS long ago as 1890, when the total
enrolment reached 453 pupils. the
present building was thought over
crowded and an outside room was
rented. This was done for three
years. Then by removing the stair
ways and using hall way an addi-
ton room was made and slI the
pupils crowded into the present build.

that the proposed site is too small

The petition upon which the
pending election is called contains
478 names. That would authorize the
board to call the election on the
superstition that the total voting
population of the district does not
exceed 1434. Last spring the total
vote was less than one thousand, and
there were probably not fifty votes
left at home. There are not to exceed
fifty votes in the district outside the
town. To assume that there are now
400 votes would be to assume an in
crease in the population of the dis
trict since last spring of not less than
500. 1t is probable therefore that
those who urge that the petition was
not large enough to justify the call
are mistaken.

Doctors could donothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
] win tell you about it:
I had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. Whh my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but IL did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped IL possible, and
he must find the cause Of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Q Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time q lady
salled on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it /
said I would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. B. A. LOMBARD,
