Benjamin Williams, the man who
built and lived in the first house con-
structed in Logan city, is dead. He
died on Wednesday morning at his
home In the 3rd ward, after an illness
'extending over several months. He
was past 81 years of age, having been
born Nov. 10, 1923, in Montgomery
shire, England. He was married to
Mary Watkins and in 1916 emigrated
to the United States. in Pottsville,
Pennsylvania, In the fall of lS47 he
joined the Church OF Jesus Christ Of
Latter-day Saints, coming TO Farm
south TO Payson and served in the
Echo canyon war. In the year 80, Mr..
Williams, with his family came into
Cache Valley. At this time there
were few people in the valley and in
Logan not a house had been built. He
located on the corner in the third
ward now belonging to the family and
resided there ever since, though as a
matter of course, the old house has
long since been torn away.
Mr.. Williams was also the first man
to break ground in Smithfield. He
plowed and sowed but for some
reason life there was unsatisfactory
and he made Logan his home for life
The deceased was the father of
twelve children, "a grand children and
1S great grand children. He leaves
six daughters, beloved wife and a
large circle of friends to mourn his
passing. His daughters are as follows:
Mrs. James Henderson, Arimo, Idaho;
Mrs. Thomas Wilmore, Mrs. O. w.
Benson, Mrs. VIM. Evans, Mrs. John
ii. Davis, Mrs. Rebecca Eames, all of
Logan.
Mr.. Williams was lovable old gen.
tleman, kindly, and filled with those
qualities one always admires. Through
out his life here he has been an exam
pie for others and when Cache needed
more than now men OF honesty, in
tegrity, courage and general worth,
Benjamin Williams was found in the
forefront. His death causes universal
sorrow for he was widely and favor
ably known.

She Stops TO Conquer.

Perhaps no comedy has been written
which illustrates home life as it was
in England during King George III's
reign as Oliver Goldsmith's famous
comedy, "She Stops to Conquer.
The scenes of the play are laid in a
country parish few miles outside Of
London, and the characters are
chosen from real life. The most pict-
uresque scene in the comedy is the
one at "The Three Pigeons" inn
where the village characters are in
troduced. There is Stingo the tavern
keeper; his type was found in every
English town of the 18th century.
Muggins, the excise-maD, and Jack
Slang, the horse doctor, are enjoying
the shot sings" Amenadot, the
bear dancer, and Tom Twist, who
spins the pewter.platter for living,
sit by the fire-side and tell their yarns.
The leader of this happy-go-lucky
bunch is Tony Lumpkin, a young
reprobate, whose step-father is the
village squire. They are jolly, care
free crowd, who are up in the clouds
one day and down In the dumps" the
next. Their type was found through.
out England in the 18th century, and
they weren't bad types by any means.
A person studying this period In hist
DRY learns TO like them.
1t is the endeavor of the promoters
Of the coming production OF "She
Stops to Conquer" to give the au-
dience truthful conception OF the
social conditions OF ''old England

Tam of New York city, and there is
much new scenery.
The people of the A. G. of u. are
endeavoring to make. this play one OF
literary value, aside from the stand
point OF enjoyment. The play illus
trates a period in literature which
abounds with much interest.
Student Life" Is managing the
play, and Prof. G.. W. Thatcher is

there are several old English gleeS to
