SALT LAKERS WILL CO
TO ELY ON A SPECIAL
Seven Cars in Train, Which
VIII BE Most Complete in
Every Detail.

At a meeting Of the board of gov
ernors of the Commercial club held
Monday the coming excursion to Ely
was discussed at length. \ special train
will leave Salt Lake on Friday even
ing, September 2S, at 8 o'clock, ar
irving at Ely next morning at IL

five standard sleepers, one tourist
sleeper, one chair car and baggage
car. Held s band Will accompany the
excursion, and fully 200 people from
this State will take advantage of the
excursion to go to the Nevada town.
The Importance Of Utah being ade-
quately represented from n business
standpoint was taken up and discussed
by the members of the board, and il
was decided to make a special effort TO
call attention to the Importance of
this matter to the entire business in
tercsts of the State. Those who 90

sleeping cars for the time they are
there, instead of sleeping at the hotels.

The train Will start on the return
trip for Salt Lake on Sunday evening,
and will arrive in this city in time for
business Monday morning. This makes
it possible for those who go to mako
the trip and only lose Saturday, which
is half holiday, from their business.
The design for the badge which Will
be worn by the Salt Lal1ers has been
completed, except for few details. II
will be n white satin ribbon with a

SHAKEN Up AGAIN
Prophet Is Due TO Arrive, but
the Brethren Are Afflicted
With Uncertainty,
DON'T KNOW If JOSEPH F.
HAS ARRIVED ALREADY
All Are Badly in Need of a Reye-
latiOn, but None Can See His
Way Clear to Get One.

Tho inner circle is all agog with ex-
citement again. The wandering prophet
is due here ut this very hour; but
half of the brethren don't know
whether he is already here or not,
and the other half don { know whether
he is going to get here at all or not.
But all of them care--in fact, they
care very much, because when the way
farer returns it is feared that there
will be doings.
What is most puzzliug to the brethren
of the inner circle is the guess as to
whether he viii make spec

of trumpet and clang of cymbal,
or whether he will do the under
ground act, which TO him has always

as it gave additional force to the long
entertained notion within the circle
that Brother Joseph has blessed him.

of the inner circle is convinced that

There is worry about what viii hap.

on this account is there great fear but
there is some trembling on account of
the other brethren themselves. IL Jo-

there would be some danger attaching

what the ungodly Gentiles might do

away from knowing where the boss is

that they don't dare stay in one place
long enough to have one. They are
dead certain that Brother Joseph won t
get one, because he has said that
he is defying God every day in his
life, and that he intends to keep on
doing so. So il IS all off with the reve-
lation business for the present, and the

to me that if you really did, IN fact,

animal died either of heart disease, the
bursting of blood vessel, chagrin, or
as a result of his action in jumping into
the air, lust as Green s bullet-if there
is such a man as Green, and he fired

why proceed? / am satisfied, Mr.. Jones,
that YOU haven Z n scintilla of evidence
