To the Editor:
left my home at Murray, Utah, early
in June and was appointed to lab at
Metz, Steuben County. Indiana with
Brother !, II. Stout OF Rockville, Utah.
We arrived at Metz about the middle
OF June. We soon made ourselves at
home with the kind and benevolent
family OF Mr.. Caleb Rakesiraio; his
wife and daughter are members OF the
church. Soon after our arrival, we
commenced our laboIs and we soon
learned that mountains OF prejudice
had been formed by the ''undying
stories" and vile publications; but not
paying any attention TO the daily gossip,
we worked steadily along in our weak
way doing as much good as possible.
We were called TO attend conference
at Crumstown, Indiana, on October 18TH
and 18Th, where we met ther Elders
who had been energetcally working in
the spreading OF truth. 1t is really a
feast for the Elders 10 meet at confer

From here, without purse or scrip, we
commenced our labors. We worked un

but to gain access 10 houses, for wor-
Shipping purposes was impossible. The

could rent us n hall, and not impose on
the good will OF Brother VanDenBerg,

we rented a hall at o27 Mission street ior
$40 per month for Sunday, all day, and

Sunday School in San Francisco, with
Elder George Z. Hyde as Sup-rnten-
cent and w. b. Lewis, secretary.
During our labors we enjoyed the rich
outpourings OF tie spirit OF God, and
His power was made manifest in our
midst. July 10Th, 1896, ! received Il
note from Sister Ehzlbeth Rawlinson
(aunt OF Professor /. l. Talmage) say
ing that her son, a Young man, was
dangerously i'll and wished US 10 come
and administer to him and young Raw-
llnson was MOI a member OF the Church.
Elder A. 5. Keller and myself went to
her house No. I2I7 Lombard street,
San FRANCISCO. The doctor attending
the young man had LETT word that no
one was TO go into the room but his
mother. She was acting MS nurse. But
Sister RawlinSou wanted the Elders |
asked the young man few questions
respecting his faith IN God, etc. Brother
Keller and consectated some oil, had
a few words OF prayer. Brother Keller
anuinted him, and | was mouth in seal
ing the amounting. AS we had just got
out of the room the doctor came. The
latter was surprised to see the change Tor
the better Ia his patient. OF course he
did not know that Mormon Elders had
been there. The next morning the
doctor came and he was astonished.
Said he, Every particle OF disease has
lett your body, you don't need my ser
vices any longer and | shall come no
more" The young man was entirely
healed Brother Mortensen's daughter
Nora, was very sick and was also healed
by the power OF God, and also 4 num-
Der of others.

ganized two branches and two Sunday
Schools; had Elders in Sacramento, and

the famous battlefield to commemorate
the valor of the Georgia soldiers engaged
in that memorable struggle. a design for
the monument. by Muldoon of Louisville,
was accepted some time ago. The monu-
ment is to be of granite and to cost about
$4,000 The total appropriation is $4,000,
but s. 900 of the amount is to be used in
marking points occupied by the Georgia
troops. Three of the four members Of the
commission only were present at the meet
ing to-day. and on account of the absence
of the fourth the contract for the monu-
ment was not let. Those present were

YANCY CARTER's CHARGES.
Attorney General Terrell Declines
TO Appear in the Case.

TO Appear in the Case.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan 6.-Attorney General
Terrell to-day declined to have anything
to do with the investigation of the charges
against Judges Reese and Sweat, prefer
red by Senator Yancy Carter, the hearing
of which begins before the committee on
the 18th.
Yesterday Chairman Fielder of the in
vestigating committee wrote to the attor-
ney general stating that the investigation
was at hand and as the parties defendant
would be represented by counsel before
the committee, it might be proper for the
state to be represented through the attor-
ney general as a prosecuting officer Attor-
ney General Terrell, however, did not re-
gard it as any part of his official duty to
take hand in the matter, and in his let
ter to Cha rman Fielder IN m oIn ng stated
that he had no authority, nor was it his
du ty in any sense to assume the attitude
of prosecutor for the state in the investi-
cation.
If the committee, after the examination
of its witnesses, summoned to appear here
on the 18th, should find that there is
ground for the preferment of Impeachment
proceedings and impeachment is ordered
by the House when it meets in February
some provision will probably then be made
to have the state represented by a prose-
cutor, either in the person of the attorney
general or some other lawyer of eminent
ability. Unti such provision is made by
the legislature, no state officer has the
authority to assume and participate in
the prosecution or working up of the
cases except the members of the commit
tee themselves and as they construe their
powers, they are confined to the charges
as preferred by Senator Carter.
The case of Judge Sweat viii be taken
up first bysth committee, those witnesses
having been summoned to appear In At
ianta on the 18th and 18th. The witnesses
for and against Judge Reese are under
subpoena TO appear on the 14th and 18TH.
1t is not at all likely. however, that the
investigation before the committee will be
concluded under a couple of weeks.

FULTON's COMMISSIONERS.
Forest Adair the New Chairman of
the County Board.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 6.-The board of
county commissioners to-day followed up
the decision of Judge ]. H. Lumpkin, rem
dered yesterday and officially declared the
county police department abolished. The
decision of Judge Lumpkin was that the
board could not apply the money of the
county to the payment Of the men, and
this. of course. made it necessary to abol-
ish it. The county commissioners will
however, appeal the case to the supreme
court and if that tribunal shall. decide that
the state constitution viii allow county
commissioners to maintain a police de-
partment by swearing the members in as
inspectors of roads and bridges, the board
will re-establish it.
Tonight the new board of county COM
missioners was organized. c. A. Collier

He has made a bold record on the county
commission as a reformer, and his friends,
who put him forward for chairman of the
board tonight, are grooming him for a
hot race against the field.

ATLANTA's NEWSPAPER WAR.

Constitution Enters Its Field.

Atlanta. Ga, Jan. 6.--The announcement
editorially by the Constitution this morn
ing that an evening edition of that paper
would make its bow to the public on the
18th of the month created great surprise
in the city The fact that the Constitu-
ton contemplated entrance into the af-
ternoon field was kept a profound secret
1t is generally taken that the entrance
of the Constitution into the field of after
noon journalism means the commencement
of war to the death between that paper
and the Journal, eX-Secretary Smiths pa
per.
There had been an agreement between
the two papers for several years that
neither was to encroach upon the terri
tory of the other but this agreement has
now been declared Off. The Journal. it
is reported will issue a Sunday edition
and there is talk of the paper entering the
morning field to fight the Constitution in
its own territory
An exceedingly lively time In journal
istic quarters is expected to follow the APP
pearance of the Evening Constitution.
War to the death between the two rival
establishments is what the public expects
to see. The management of the Journal
stated this afternoon that if the Constitu-
ton entered the field they would, Of course,
retalliate
