One OF the most interesting services that

after the contribution was taken up, the
sermon of the evening was sung by the
choir, which was cantata, THE Daugh-
Ter OF Jarius." by Sir John Stainer.
There was a grand organ introduction.
and pretty soon after the chorus had
sung for little time. the bass singer ex-
pressed the fathers lament over the
death Of his little daughter. Then the
tenor caught the fond parents hope and

Mr.. Worthington inquired whether AZ

Mr.. Smith said II had not, either In an

the action to prevent the practice. He
declared that when Mr. Smoot became
an apostle. the status OF most OF the
polygamists had been fixed many years
before. In answer TO questions by Mr.

Smith said Senator Smoot had never ad.

Claim a Fee of $2,S3I

Judge Carter yesterday heard arguments
in the case of the County Commissioners
against Cyrus ]. Clark and Samuel Nc
Dade brought to determine which of the
defendants is entitled TO 1881 of sheriff s
fees due from the term of Clark when he
was sheriff, from 1898 to $780, When Clark
retired from the sheriffs office there re-
NAMED due him $1,000. payment on which
was refused. This was because the law
at that time required that the salary should
not be paid out in excess of the fees col
lected. There was due in unpaid fees, how
ever, $5731, which were sold to McDade.
The terms of the contract provided that
Clark should receive 800 and a piece of
real esate in louisville. All over the $1,000
collected McDade to retain. Later a
law passed by the State Legislature al
lowed Clark the salary due him, warrant
for which was made out by the County
Commissioners, but it is now held up in
the county treasurers office on protest by
McDade The court has taken the ques-
tion under advisement.
