A WOMANIN THE PLOT.
Indications That Painter Of Caldwell
Qda.) Was Murdered.
Especial to The Herald

Boise, Ida, Sept. 2-Governor Steun-
enberg today offered a reward of 81, 600
for the arrest and conviction Of the
person or persons who may have muir
dered Thomas c. Painter, a young man
of Caldwell, who was found dead on
Soldier creek on August Is. At first it
was supposed death was due to an ac-
cident, it being thought Painter was
thrown from his horse, sustaining q
fracture of the skull. But investigation
leads his friends and relatives to be-
lieve there was foul play. Detectives
are now working on the mystery
shrouded case. and it is intimated that
the developments will be sensational,
with the inevitable woman in it.

Ever since the celebration of Presi-
dent Woodruff's ninetieth birthday, on
March 1, 1897, there has been specu-
lation as to President Woodruff's sue
cessor. and the manner in which the
selection would be made. 1t was seen
that he could not live many years lon
ger, n the natural order of things, al
though his vitality was marvellous. At
ter the pioneer jubilee last year, ne
became ILL., and fears of his recovery
were entertained. but he regained MS
accustomed health, and not long ago
took part in the dedicatory exercises
at Pioneer square. But his health was
failing. and this trip to California was
taken in the hope that he might recu-
perate.
During all this period, the discussion
regarding his successor has been going
on outside the church, the majority
holding that the president OF the quo
rum of apostles succeeding to the pres
idency of the church by virtue OF that
office. while others contended that any
selection from the quorum might be
made.
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
To get an official statement of the
matter, The Herald yesterday secured
this brief and clear review of the sub
ject from one of the church authorities,
authorized to speak;
when the president of the church
dies or is removed for any cause, the
first presidency is at once dissolved
and the council of the apostles then
forms body equal in authority to the
first presidency and succeeds to that
position without further action, thus
becoming, in fact, the presidency of
the church.
1.-The president of the quorum of
apostles, Lorenzo Snow, then becomes
virtually the head of the church, as
he is the head of the quorum. When
that body decides that tie first preSi-
dency shall be reorganized it reaches
the conclusion by its own vote. and
reorganizes the presidency by choos-
ing the president by unanimous vote.
The president then chooses his first
and second counselors, with the ap-
prevail of the apostles; the new presi-
dency, thus chosen, must then be pre-
scented to the church at the general
conference, and when sustained by the
vote of the church, the reorganization
of the presidency is complete and eff
fective. 1t takes the vote of the body
to institute the presiding authorities,
a fundamental principle being that all
things in this church shall be done by
common consent
APOSTLES TO ASSEMBLE AT ONCE
after the death or removal of the
president, his two counselors serve ad
interim, and carry on the business of
the church until the apostles can as
semble, which is at the earliest pos
sible moment after the vacancy occurs.
This quorum will come together at
once, just as soon as word reaches
them. and as they are nearly all close
to the city, this will not be delayed at
all in this case. The apostles then as
sumo the authority before indicated,
and may or may not elect a new presi-
dent at once. In this election, however,
the vote must be unanimous.
