A CLASS FOR MISSIONARIES
TO BE ESTABLISHED BY THE
MORMON CHURCH.
It VIII Be Under the Auspices of the
Latter-day Saints College-Mis-
sionaries to Be Increased to 5000.

1t has been decided to conduct a mis-
sionary class at 2S3 West First North
street, under the auspices of the Lat
ter-day Saints College, especially for
the benefit of young men who have
received or are expecting missionary
calls. This decision was arrived at in
response to an urgent request from
numerous young men Of the class men
toned.
The sessions will be held on Tues
day and Thursday Of each week at 2:S0
p. m, commencing on Jan. II. All are
cordially invited, ladies as well as gen.
tlemen. Professor Done will conduct
the class.
This is somewhat of an innovation.
and taken in connection with the Off
cial statement made at Logan by Elder
McMurrin at a public meeting to the
effect that the church intended to in
crease the missionary force now in the
field from 1,500 to 5000, shows that
there is renewed activity in the mis-
sionary work.

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
All Wall Street Records Have Been
Broken This Week.

New York, Jan. 13.-Bradstreets
financial review tomorrow will say: All
records of sustained bullish movements
in Wall street have been broken. This
week has seen successive daily trans
actions of 1000, 900 shares or more, with
higher quotations throughout the
share list Ordinarily the extreme ac-
tivity and the no less extreme prices
would suggest that the market was
nearing a elimination, as was the case
in 1891 when the last speculative ex-
IRENE was about to terminate. The
confident sentiment which has brought
the public into the street seems, how
ever, to be undiminished and though
conservative interests deprecate the
rapidity with which the market seems
to be moving to an extreme, it is ad
mitted that present favorable financial
and other conditions, as we'll as the
greatly augmented facilities for specu-
lation which it enjoys, render it fu-
tile to form conclusions about the i'm
mediate future based on former eXpe-
riences.
This week the market has presented
growing evidences of manipulation and
of a decided increase in the amount of
purely speculative purchasing, in con-
trast with the investment demand for
securities, which was so notably dis
indication of this is furnished by the
comparatively smaller dealings in bonds
in the face of the enlarged volume Of
stock sales, and by the tendency Of
the former class of values to recede a
little from their recent high level.
There has also been a, great deal of
regularity in the movement of diff
ferent parts of the list, some groups of
stocks presenting the appearance of
taking profits, while others advanced.
The participation Of the public in the
movement can be gagged by the volume
of orders executed by commission
houses for local and out-of- town specu-
lators. Chicago alone furnished a large
amount of business. AS was the case
in the preceding week, the disposition
seems to be to follow the leaders of the
speculative world in whatever direc-
ton they indicate, though when one
part of the list is temporarily aban-
doned ard the realizing sales cause re-
cessions, sufficient buying seemed to
develop to prevent the declines from
being at all severe.

SUIT TO RECOVER A DEED
ROBINSON AGAINST TIE PA
CIFIC loan COMPANY.
Sealed Verdict Ordered In SpTeckart
VS.. Niles-Charles II. Chapman
Dismissed-Court Notes.

John P. Robinson and Elizabeth Ann
Robinson have entered suit against the
Pacific States Savings Loan & Build
ing company for the cancellation of a
mortgage for 5000 on certain real
estate, alleging that the amount of the
mortgage has been fully paid. The
plaintiffs, it is alleged in the COM
plant, subscribed for twelve shares Of
the capital stock of the defendant COM
pany and gave mortgage on certain
real estate and the twelve shares OF
the company as security for a loan OF
$500. The plaintiffs alleSe that they
have repaid the loan and interest
amounting in all to 1884 and that the
company has refused to cancel the
mortgage without the further payment
of 1924 3d. PLAINTIFFS pray that the
mortgage be Cancelled and that they
have judgment for S139.94 and $3.50 at

and harmonious relations between the
railways and the public and thus prove
materially beneficial in a high degree.
Whatever view may be taken of this
phase of the subject the necessity for
a thorough revision of the act cannot
be overstated. The principles of this
law, as set forth in its first three see
tons, are conceded to be sound and
benefcient. but at present they amount
to little more than declaration OF a
sentiment. Some of the minor features
of the statute are fairly sufficient, but
the machinery for enforcing its sub
stantive provisions is fatally defective.
Every consideration of private justice
and public welfare demands that
railroad rates shall be reasonably uni
form to all shippers and equitable be-
tween all communities. Until needful
legislation is supplied that demand
must remain unsatisfied and the COM
mission must continue to rest under
the responsibility of a duty which 1T
is pOwerleSS to dicharge"
