DARNEILLE DEFENDS STAFF.
District Assessor Makes Reply TO
Criticisms of Force.

Criticisms OF Force.
In response to the criticism that a sur
plus number Of clerks are employed in
the Office of the assessor Of the District,
Assessor II. II. DarneiIle yesterday sub
mitted TO the Commissioners a letter ex-
planning the workings OF his Office.
In reference to the comparison Of the
assessors Office Of the District with other
cities. on account Of the number of men
employed therein, Mr.. Darneille says:
"The assessors office in name is a
misnomer for, in fact, six men do the
assessing. one clerk and assistant clerk
doing the scheduling.
The other members Of the assessor S
Office force bear the same relation TO the
District as the treasurer's Office III Provi-
deuce r. l., and other cities, and there
are a great many Offices consolidated
under the jurisdiction Of the assessor
which are entirely separate and distinct
from any part of the assessment ma
eainery"
These are CatalOgued by Mr.. Darnellle
as follows: License department, rendering
Of tax bills arrears Of tax division. excise
board, draftsman's department. pension
certificate department, the transcribing
Of the records Of the recorder of deeds
and the register of wills upon the Dis
trict records. the water main tax depart
ment, and various other departments
which, in other Jurisdictions he says,
are separate and distinct bureaus hav-
ing nothing 10 do with the ordinary
office Of assessor. Alr. Darneille said
yesterday,
i am of the opinion that when the sit
uation is thoroughly understood by those
who now seem disposed TO criticise this
branch OF the service, they viii not only
be willing 20 leave the force as # is. but
viii be willing and ready TO increase the
same"

ian church a good sized audience

derfer, representing the inter-denom-

this tine speaker took up the history
OF the Mormon organization, its his
tory and methods and the record
from it's first inception to the present,
time which she characterized as one
OF treason fsllsehood and debauchery
specifying in more than one inst
ance their infamous acts ON the
time of Joseph. Smith to the present.
In her appeal she requested the
women OF the state to take advan-
tage OF their great opportunity ant

theological works OF the Mormon
Church which WAS conclusive evil
dence of their devotion to poly
gamy and then cited instances OF
the high officials still living in unlaw

Her closing remarks was request
for our people to realize the dangers
which this organization Were threat
ening the state with And to by the
support OF the Democratic represen-
taUives, secure the enactment OF the
test oath and thus keep this power
under the control of the people, in
stead of the people being under the
contol of the Mormons.

the first OF the week with n larger
initial attendance than we have ever
been favored with before. This is
partly due to the splendid record OF

splendid corps of teachers now in
charge. Pupils from the reservation.
from all the surrounding ridges and
from nearby towns are already en-
rolled and the outlook is one of great
encouragement.
The opening of our schools Mon
day morning was auspicious in
every sense OF THE word Mondays
enrolment reaching 155. In fact the
interest and enthusiasm of the scho-
lars brought forth comment from
the teachers. This spirit, together
with an efficient corps OF instructors
means a banner year in school WORK.
Monday opened as follows:- High
school Miss Moody,41; Mrs, CLYDE 33;
intermediate, Miss Skattabaugh, 40;
Primary, Miss Carlton, A.,
