This Week.

The recent change at the electric

by some of our citizens because the
current was turned on before candle

"Woel Wool" The plant Is on the

to our local sleuths to solve.
Since Sunday the to wn has been in

with the dufunny that controls the

The chances are it will not be re-

In answer TO "Where Is the Com.

to his official duties by replacing
bridges washed out; doing work on
roads made impossible, merely so
they can be travelled; going from

and Macombers will receive due
consideration IN due time. But we
wish our friend, Correspondent, to
understand that while Mr.. linn is

JUDGE lands
WOULD NOT sign
Bill of Exceptions of the STAN
dard Oil Company Failed
to Pass Muster.

Chicago. Dec. 6.-Judge h NJ. Lands.
of the United States circuit court today
refused to allow the attorneys for the
Standard Oil company to insert in the
bill Of exceptions to his judgment of S2g,-
10000 against the company, a statement
that penalty was assessed as a lump
sum. John 5. Miller, attorney for the
company, argued that the fine had not
been imposed in regular form in that
counts on which il was based were not
specified and that, therefore, there was
additional ground for appeal lie relied
upon the temporary minute book of the
court clerk TO prove this assertion, but
Judge Lands held that this book was not
properly a part of the records and that
the regular records showed that the fine
was $4,000 on each of the 1.462 counts.
Attorney Miller also sought TO have in
the bill of exceptions statements concern
ing the immunity granted TO the chicago
& Alton Railway company, but District
Attorney Sims combatted this on the
ground of immateriality. The question
was not decided today. but will be taken
up again. 1t is probable that Judge
Lands will sign the bill of exceptions this
week provided the attorneys have agreed
by that time upon its contents.

BISHOP PRESTON TO RETIRE
Will Leave Work After Many Years
of Faithful Labor in the
Mormon Church.

William B. Preston. the presiding
bishop of the Mormon church, will soon
retire. Following his resignation, the
reorganization of the bishopric will be
effected and new members will be Sc
lected.
Bishop Preston is a native of Vir-
sinia. in which state, in Franklin
county, he was born Nov. "a, 1880. In
1852 he went to California, and six
years later came to Utah. When Lo-
gan was organized into a ward i'm 1889
Mr.. Preston was chosen its first bishop.
This Office he held until 1872, when he
was chosen counsellor to Moses
Thatcher in the Cache stake, and later
became the presiding bishop of the
church, which office he has filled since
that time.
The retirement of Bishop Preston
will leave a vacancy. His first counsel
lor was the late Robert T. Burton, and
the second counsellor is Orrin p. Miller
Bishop Preston assigns falling health
as the cause of his retirement.
