A careful study OF the election o
1903 proves that the next legislator,
will be republican as certainly as cleo

sitting as a boa d of equ ,lization has
been forced to the wall, and now that
the people have learned that the board,
not the revenue law, is responsible for
the increase in tax on all kinds of pro.
perty, the commissioners have held a
sort of star chamber 81, ssion and are
endeavoring tn make amends by lower
ing the county levy. Should they do
this succ. ssfully, the citizens Of Rich
ardson county wi | only be injured on
account Of lOper cent raise in personal

Young Mems Mutual Improvement
Associations Have Adjourned
Till Next Fall.
MUCH HAS Been ACCOMPLISHED
Discussion of the Book Of Mormon
Attended With Gratifying Inter-
est Among the Members.

The Young Mems Mutual Improve
ment associations OF the Church OF
Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints,
closed the seasons work last night, af-
ter a series OF highly profitable meet
ngs.
The work for the year 1904 was be-
gun about the middle OF October and
consisted OF study OF the Book Of
Mormon, arranged specially for Mutual
improvement workers by Elder b. H..
Roberts, under direction Of the general
board, The subject matter included
the discovery and translation of the
book. It's Importance as witness for
God and the Bible, and mgratlons and
intercontinental movements of the Ne
phites and Lamanites, the whole cover
ing range Of subjects intensely in
terestlng and calculated to awaken
thought. So far as can be ascertained
the lessons have been vigorously pur-
sued and the results have been better
than for any previous var.
For next year the subject will be con-
tinued, the phases TO be discussed being
evidences Of the truth OF the Book Of
Mormon and the objections urged
against its authenticity. This also
should prove highly interesting and
present food for reflection TO the menu
beers OF the associations
During the winter the junior classes.
consisting OF boys ranging from IA to l6
years OF age, have studied biographical
sketches of Bible characters, sub
ject that has appealed strongly to this
class OF young men, Next year this
also viii be continued.
Speaking Of the seasons work, Elder
Thomas Hull, general secretary of the
associations said today that It had
been highly satisfactory and had prov
ed to the general board that the young
men OF the Church were interested In
discussion of the fundamental prInc-
pies OF their religion and the claims
made by the Prophet Joseph. He fur
Their stated that reports OF the interest
taken by the young men were very en-
couraging and be believed that the re-
suits OF the course Of study pursued the
past year would be reflected in
the lives OF the members OF the as
sociations, Elder Hull stated that the
membership OF the Mutuals through
out the Church was something like go.
600, with an equal number OF young
ladies, and that this was being in.
creased year by year through sys-
TEN Of missionary work inaugurated
In all the stakes.
The general board Is now appointing
committees and making other arrange
ments for the spring conference 10 be
held IN this city in June, ana doubtless
the program rendered on that occasion,
and the reports given, viii give a splen-
did idea Of the work accomplished by
the associations.

Joseph Wilcox Puts an End to His
Career by Taking Carbolic
Acid
HAS RELATIVES IN WELLSVILLE.
Had Been on Protracted Spree
Which Is Thought to Have Led
Up to His Rash Act
lsnecinl to the oNewa.rl

Ogden, March 3O--Joseph Wilcox
committed suicide at noon today In a
wine room In the rear OF the Dewdfop
saloon, Central hotel, by drinking car
bolic acid, The man took about an
ounce OF the drug and Immediately on
learning OF his condition his friends
sent for Dr. Forbes. who answered at
once and worked on him about an
hour, but 10 no purpose.
Wilcox was about SO years Of age and
until a short time ago was employed on
the cutoff as O drillman and carpen-
ter He came to Ogden on the 24th
and since then has spent the greater
part OF his time around saloons. About
an hour before he took the drug, he APP
peared to be in good spirits and chat
ted pleasantly with those around him.
No cause can be assigned for the rash
act, other than that II was induced
by heavy drinking.
Nothing is known of his relatives
although from his conversation Il IL
believed he has sons residing In Wells
vile, Cache county where he Is said TO
have formerly resided On his per-
son was found n small sum OF money
and watch end chain. The body Is at
Larkln & Sons morgue, where II will
be held pending word from relatives az
