The Mormon church is divided into
divisions, wards and stakes. and the
machinery of the organization through
which charges against any person have
to be brought and passed upon.
The apostles have nothing to do

They preach the gospel and send mis-
sionaries to other fields.

high councillors of the church, form

sultation on matters generally relating
to the church.
Reed Smoot, junior Senator from
Utah. became an apostle in the Nor
mon church April 6. 1900. On that
date President Smiths youngest child
was born.
1t is in the power of members of
the church to reject a, first president
of the church named by revelation.

Young as president, and all the mem

this revelation was a command to ac-

Senator Smoot never advised for or

All the convictions under the anti
,polgamy law were obtained while Ut
all was Territory.
Four out of seven members of the
board of trustees of the Utah Agricul-
itural college are polygamists.
Joseph F. Smith was chosen presi-
dent since the election of Reed Smoot
as an apostle. President Smith gave
his consent for Reed Smoot to become
candidate for United States Senator.
This consent was necessary because
it is rule that anv one of the gener.

apostles before he can do SO.

William LaFa air
Trial.

The LaFair trial is still a load star
of attraction to the curious. The
court room is crowded at all times and
the keenest attention is given TO every
movu of the counsel ON both sides and
to the testimony of the witnesses.
This morning the prosecution call
ed Alden Leonard as its first witness,
who had made measurements of the
field in which the killing of Massey
orcurred and who also had made pho
tographs of the place, which were
submitted in evidence. His testimony
was practically the same as given at
the first trial.
c. W. Bowman, who wns the first
witness called yesterday by the pros
ecution and who was talking to Mas
sew at the time he was killed. was
recalled to give testimony regarding
the position of Massey and the boy of
Massey. who was held i'll the arms of
the father when the fatal shot was
fired rom LaFair's gun which killed
Massey at the crook of the fence.
After Bowman's recall and testi-
mony was heard. the prosecution rest
ed its case and the defense CALLED
Alfred Chestner. The latter was in
such bad condition. having taken
too much of the beverage which ine-
briates, that the court was very angry
and caoe very near administering a
sentence for contempt OF court upon
him.

A verv queer circumstance occurred
in the court this afternoon. On the
examination of Matt Caste. the ques-
tion of his eyesight was taken up by
Attorney Wheeler for the defendant
LaFair. 1t was shown in the morn
ing that Casto's sight was not good.
Turning to him suddenly Mr.. Wheeler
asked him if he could see two men
standing on the corner opposite the
court house. Caste answered at once
he could. He was asked several things
about them and about other things
which could be seen from the window
and he answered the questions gtibly
and correctly.
This seemed to disprove the asser-
tion that Casto's eyesight was poor.
When Wheeler concluded, Mr.. Car.
nahan for the prosecution asked sew
eral unimpor tant questions of Caste
and he too suddenly asked Mr.. Casio
TO turn and look out of the window
and name the two men who we've
standing talking on the same corner.
He looked and looked, but Ire did
not say who they were. He said they
were a little in the shadow. They
