We have had faith in the providences
of God, and we feel that they have all
been in our interest. And now, be
faithful in keeping the commandments
of God, having always a strong desire
to be faithful. In doing good to others,
we will do good to ourselves, in making
their lives more happy and ~bright.
Husbands and wives, parents and
children, may and should devote them
selves to one another's happiness and
welfare. If you do this, you will feel
the spirit of the Lord upon you Now,
brethren and sisters, God bless you,
and let us have good conference, and
in order to have this, let us have a
prayerful spirit all the time, and es-
pecially when the elders arise here to
address US.
Apostle Rudger Clawson spoke briefly
on the need of humanity and charity,
especially urging upon The Saints the
necessity Of paying their tithing.
Apostle Owen Woodruff devoted his
remarks largely to the missionary work
being done, and the gratifying success
attending the efforts of those 1aboring
abroad under unfavorable conditions.
Apostle NJ. F. Cowley's discourse was
of purely doctrinal nature, in which
he declared that Joseph Smith was a
true prophet of God. He referred to
the plates given to Joseph and the
translation therefrom of the Book of
Mormon.
Patriarch John Smith pronounced the
benediction.

capital of the new company will be &c.

Case Are Missing.

hours of the trial of Mrs. George gave
indication of protracted delay in COM
pIeting the jury panel. A special venire
of sixteen had been called and inquiries
as to qualifications We're resumed. At

but the defense still has nine peremp-
tory challenges.

more challenges will be preferred. Mr..
Sterling, for the defense, said to one
of the court officers unofficially at noon
that ten of the jurors then in the box
would not be challenged. Sixty men
have so far been examined as to quail
fioations FOR the jury.
Mrs. Althouse and young Hogan, the
witnesses wanted by both sides have
not turned up, and their present where
abouts are unknown. Mrs. Althouse has
left Pennsylvania town, to which she
had been traced. The defense has been
unable to locate Mrs. Elizabeth Parks,
former cashier in a New York hotel,
who was reported to be engaged to
marry Saxton. at the time OF the trag-
edy. They wanted her deposition.
Mrs. Althouse is the woman to whom
Saxton had been paying attention. He
was shot as he ascended the steps from

There has been a weeks respite in

NEW WORKERS CREMATED.
Fire Destroys Residence In the Mil
lionaire District.

New York, April IA few minutes
before 2 o'clock this (Friday) morning,
fire broke out in the five-story dwelling
at No. 2 East Sixty-seventh street, the
home Of Wallace Andrews, president of
the New York Steam Heating company.
The fire spread very rapidly and
though the firemen made desperate ef-
forts to get the inmates out of the
house, they were only partially sue
cessful, for at least two lives We're lost.
The victims are believed to be Mrs St.
John, daughter of Mr. Andrews, who,
with her husband and several children,
lived with him, and Austin ST John,
10 year old, Mr.. Andrews grandson.
Several other members of the family
were carried out unconscious.

district occupied by the homes of New
YorkS richest millionaires. The house
on the corner is occupied by H. o. Ar
mour, the wealthy beef packer. The
house at No. is occupied by Mr.
Rothschild. The firemen found it i'm
possible to save the Andrews house, and
devoted most of their energies to saw
ing the Armour and Rothschild proper
ties, Many times both were on fire.

LIKELY TO Be COOPER
Des MOines Man Likely to Be Super
intendent of Schools.
ELECTION is PROBABLE
BELIEVED THAT BOARD WILL
SELECT THE IoWAN.
DR.. Cooper Is an Educator of Nation
al Renown and Might Not Accept,
Even If Elected-This Deemed
improbable, However = Opinion
Prevails That He Will Come.

Had there been a full membership
present at last evenings meeting OF
the board of education, there is little
doubt that a superintendent would
have been elected to fill the place made
vacant by the resignation of DR.. j. F.
Millspaugh last December. But the
time when the long-deferred election
will occur is near at hand. In all prob
ability the board will formally deter
mine upon DR.. Millspaugh's successor
next Monday evening.
There is good ground for the belief
that a majority of the board are pre-
superintendent of public schools at Des
Moines, Ia, to the vacant superintend-
ency.
1t is known that DR.. Cooper has in
dicated his willingness to accept the
tender of the office, but it is not set
tied as to when he could assume the
duties of his new position. There are
eight more weeks before June 2, when
the schools close, and it may be that
the new superintendent will not be able
to come here for month yet.
The salary at which DR.. Cooper has
agreed to serve, if elected, is stated to
be $4,000 a year, the same as now paid
him by Des Moines.
DIR. Cooper is an educator of ma
tional prominence. His success IN
school management is everywhere con-
ceded. Prior to assuming the superin-
tendency of the Des Moines schools,
eight or nine years ago, he was profes-
sor of pedagogy at the Iowa state uni
versity. He is native of Indiana and
a graduate of Cornell university. He
read law for a time, but his inclina-
tions turned him toward the profession
of pedagogy, and in that line he has
achieved great distintion.
Twice was DR.. Cooper elected super
intendent of the Omaha schools and
once for the schools at st Paul, Mimi.
each time, however, declining to ac-
cept. At another time he was assured
tendent at Indianapolis, but declined
to be considered candidate.
DIR. Cooper visited this city ten days
ago. on invitation. and held a confer
ence with members of the board of
education relative to the vacant posi-
ton. He has had no application in for
the superintendency and is hardly a re-
ceptiYe candidate Tor the office. DR..
Cooper had been here before, and If he
concludes to accept the tender of the
school superintendency it will be be-
cause he prefers Utah's climate and
matchless attractions of mountain and
valley His relations with the Des
Moines schools are entirely congenial
and satisfactory to him and the people
there.
DR.. Cooper is 43, years of age and
has wife, two sons and two daught-
ers.
AS member of the board of educa-
ton expressed it, 'the whole country
has been cleaned for the best available
school superintendent for Salt Lake
and he has been found and will be
chosen.

doubtedly had in view before we left
the other life, we shall have joy and
satisfaction. We should be thankful
when we think of how we have been
sustained, While some upon the right
and the left have fallen into state of
apostacy.
Now, brethren and sisters, we want
to have i good conference, and We
may have. And just in proportion as
we exercise our faith today, and the
coming days during the progress of
this conference, viii the blessings of
the Almighty rest upon us; and as the
speakers address us from time TO time,
We Will secure that which Will be of
vast Importance TO Us. 1t is not always
the lengthy discf trseS that afford the
Latter-day Sal. that which is most
profitable, bu. ON the. various dis
courses they may gather ideas that
afterwards in cur course of life are of
grea: use All our successes IN the
past have beer in proportion to the eX
ercise CT cur faith. and have come
through the Holy Spirit, which God
has bestowed upon us. What a blessed
people we are when we contemplate
our surroundings our prospects and
what The Lord has done for US in the
past. l sometimes think that one Of
the greatest virtues that Latter-day
Saint can possess is that of gratitude to
our Heavenly Father for all that he
has done for us. While our experiences
may not always be of such a character
as to delight US at the time, yet we
discover afterwards that those circum-
stances which seemed very unpleasant,
proved of the greatest advantage. We
should always have faith in the Lord,
and always be pleased with our circum-
stances and that which the Lord from
time to time requires of us.
Now, brethren and sisters, in the
name of the Lord I bless you this
morning. Let us be faithful unto the
commandments of God, and let us
never allow our prospects to become
dimmed, but let them be fresh before
US by day and by night. And 1 will
assure you that if we do this our
growth from day to day and from year
to year will be great and marvellous.
We have not stood still in the past. but
have moved along. increasing our
growth as we passed along. We have
not been able to mark our growth,
any more than a child may mark his,
but we see its extent by looking upon
the past.
