In the morning sermon (based on
I Timothy III:1-7) ut st. James
Episcopal church last Sunday, the
Rev. Mr.. George gave a glowing
enlogy on the life and labors of the
late beloved bishop of the Salt Lake
missionary district, DR.. Abiel Leon
ard. After q graphic description Of
the arduous work of a missionary
bishop in these western parts, the
speaker urged the members Of the
church to sustain their new bishop in
his ventures Of faith and labours of
love-tp do all they could to strength
en- his hand for the expansion Of the
church's work. The Rev. Franklin
Spencer spaulding was not unknown
to Meeker-had in past years ofici-
ated in st. James with much ac-
ceptance. He was = man of great
ability and would be real leader Of
his people. He trusted the people
would sustain him by their prayers
and cordial cooperation.
The Rev. F. g. spalding was conse-
Grated bishop Of Salt Lake missionary
district on Wednesday last at st.
Paul's church, Erie, Pa. The presid-

Turning Religion into a Farce.

From the last issue Of the Hayden
Republican:
ait Is rumored that move Is on
foot to ask the little Jumper to sever
his connection with the Holiness
Mission and depart from this COM
munity. It Is the regular habit of
that religious contingency to insult
every person who attends their meet
ing, unless he be one OF their own
stripe. The good people Of the town
are becoming tired Of their course
work and don't propose to stand 1t
much longer. Take a hunch Mr..
Jumper"

Judge Gray in Trouble.

Various reports have reached here
during the past week relative TO Dis
trict Attorney Gray's action in dis
missing certain criminal cases at the
late sitting of Judge Shumate's court
at Glenwood.
The following from Sundays News
throws some light on the matter:
.Glenwood Springs, Colo, Dec. 10
Judge Shumate In the district court
today appointed Charles w. Taylor
special prosecutor to make \ thor
ough and immediate Investigation Of
the charges against Perry G. Coryell,
Frank Quinlan and Joseph LaBranch,
whose cases were abruptly dismissed
Thursday by District Attorney Gray.
The action of the court Is the result
of the proceedings yesterday by Judge
w. NJ. Kerr and former attorney gen.
eral Campbell, the special assistants
to the district attorney, who were
employed on behalf Of the complain
ing witnesses.
'District Attorney Gray fled his
answer to the afildavits this morning.
He stated In his reply that he had
acted conscientiously In filing the
nolles, because he was convinced
that the accused parties were inno-
cent.
1.-THE answer was backed up by an
affidavit by Perry G. Coryell, admit
ting that he had shot Jack Lawson,
and asserting that he had right to
do 80 as 1t was done in sslf-defense.
Judge Kerr in reply said that 1t
was strange that the district attorney
had consulted the defendant and not
the complaining witnesses In discon-
tinuing the case against Coryell.
''Jonn L. Noonan, speaking In be-
half of the district attorney in sup
port of his answer, confined himself
principally to a, personal attack on
Mr.. Kerr and General Campbell. The
court in rendering his decision,
stated that he attached no weight to
the allegation that the district attor-
ney was actuated by impure motives
when he discontinued the cases. The
grave nature Of the charges against
the defendants In those cases, coupled
with the fact that information In all
had been flled by the district attor-
ney, and that indictments had then
been found by the recent grand jury.
made thorough and impartial in
vestigation imperative.
"He could only feel that the dis
trict attorney was partial In the mat
ter az we'll as the attorneys now ap-
pearlng against him, and for that
reason he would name an attorney
who was entirely disinterested; that
attorney he Instructed to make an
Immediate investigation. clothing
him with all the power Of the district
attorney to subpoena witnesses in
these cases, and II the attorney found
the facts warranted any action the
court would order new informations
to be filed against the accused and
bench warrants would be issued for
their arrest.
The attorneys for District Attorney
Gray noted an exception, and were
given thirty days to appeal to the su-
preme court. 1t is said however.

More Comfortable Than Evcr-Steam
Heat I'm All tho Rooms

Always to the front alive to everything
that will add to the comfort and pleasure
of the guests. the management has, for
several months, been busily engaged in
stalling steam heating plant in this
wonderful hotel. A radiator will be placed
in every room and one can choose which
ever kind of heat is wished, as each room
has an open fireplace. Very many prefer
the open f1res-do not like the dry heat
made by steam-and thus this hotel, built
years ago, possesses advantages of which
the houses of modern times cannot boast
The radiation Is suited to the size of the
room. large radiators for the outside
rooms, small ones for the connecting inner
rooms and medium size for the rooms
facing on the open courts.
Many of the rooms have been refur-
nished-new carpets put down-new baths
supplied here and there-and the walls
newly papered and decorated. With the
unusually large rooms comfortably fur
nished and steam heated. the famous
PALACE HOTEL will compare most fav-
orably with the hotels of recent date and
will certainly. as of yore, uphold its title
undisputed.
The beautiful court with it's handsome
furniture and rugs-its palms and myriads
of electric lights-is always most impress
sive. Palatial! is indeed the expression
heard from every new guest who enters
here.
celebrated Palm Cafe, one of the many
noted restaurants in ie Palace Hotel;
noted not alone for the quantity of the
quickly served food but also for the
quality.
One important feature in this hotel,
not noticed in hotels erected at this date,
is the great space devoted exclusively to
the comfort of it's guests-a space so
vast that several banquets and parties
may be in progress at the same time yet
not interfere with each other, nor with
the hotels regular routine business. The
large colonial ballroom, used at times for
banquets, and at others as a recreation
room for the ladies-the famous Marble
and Maple rooms-the Empire Parlor and
the Louis XIV Reception Room all serve
to make this hotel deserve its title--"The
Palace"
The room service is almost perfect since
the introduction of the telephone system.
Through a central Office in the hotel the
guest can convey his wishes to the clerk
as well as talk to any one on the outside.

though built some time ago, Is to-day as
complete as those houses of most recent
date.
Midway between the retail and whole

as well as depots and docks, short ride
to the park and the beach, the PALACE
HOTEL is indeed the ideal hotel of the

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES WEAK
Downward Tendency of
Amalgamated Copper Has
Influence OH Securities
STEEL REMAINS STRONG
Prices Begin to Droop Aft
er the Appearance Of the
Statement of the Banks

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-The stock
market gave evidence of further
strength and growth of confidence to-
day, but when Amalgamated Copper
began to run down hill in the final
transactions the whole market
promptly responded, thus demon
strating the influence still held in the
market by that stock and by the oper-
ations that have recently centered in
Il. The closing was in consequence
weak, the most conspicuous strength
OF the day being shown by the United
States Steel stocks, regarding which
there were many reports current of an
intended resumption of speculative
operations for a rise as we'll as of large
orders for steel rails and other pro-
ducts.
The announcement of the reorgani-
zation plan of the United States
Leather Company was the signal of
some heavy selling of those stocks,
which seemed to indicate dissatisfac
ton with the plan on the part of the
stockholders. The weakness of these
shares had some sentimental effect on
the general list and the advancing ten
dency with which the market opened
was not resumed when support was
offered to the Leather stocks. The
final selling movement left many
stocks below last night. The move
ment was rather narrow throughout
except in special stocks, for the most
not of first Importance.
The $22,000,000 loan contraction
disclosed by the bank statement was
the result of the stock market liquida-
ton of the latter part of last week and
the first part of this week. The nomi-
nal change in the cash item was about
as expected. The raising of the sur
plus reserve item by over $4,000, 900
to above the figure of the correspond
ing week for two years past need not
be a matter of indifference with gold
exports in progress and the end-year
requirements approaching. But the
extreme ease of the present money
market leads to neglect of the figures
of the bank statement either way. 1t
was after the appearance of the state
ment that prices began to droop. Ster-
ling exchange was strong and rose 25
points. Total sales of bonds, par
value, s2,03O,O00.
