TO RAE HISTORIC BUILDING.

Early Mormon Church.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Carthage, ILL.,, April 9.-At spe-
cial session of the county board OF
supervisors here today bids were
opened for the construction of new
court house to replace the present his
toric structure in which was enacted
the tragic crime that ended the life OF
Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon
church. and of his brother, Hiram.
The quaint old building, which for
over sixty-five years has served the
people of Hancock county, will be de-
molished to make way for a modern
edifice to cost $150,000. The passing
of the building recalls the days when
: this county was the headquarters OF
the MOrmons and when bitter war;
fare was waged between them and the
Gentiles.
The Mormons, led by Joseph Smith,
came to Hancock county in 1910, hav-
Ing been driven out of Missouri by Or
der of the governor of that state. They
founded the city of Nauvoo, where
beautiful temple was built according
to plans Smith claimed to have re-
ceived in vision. From the time of
the arrival of Smiths followers until
his tragic death at the hands of mob
Hancock county was the scene of al
most constant warfare, the state mill
tia being called upon many times to
quell the rioting. The trouble, which
ended in Smiths death, began in 1874,
when a disgruntled member of the
Mormon church issued newspaper
known as the NauvOo Expositor, in
WhdNh hn ho NJ
morality against the prophet and 9TH
er church leaders. The plant of the
paper was seized one night and
dumped into the river Warrants were
sworn out for Joseph and Hiram
Smith and sixteen other Mormons,
charging them with looting the print
ing Office. The governor induced Smith
to- surrender, to avert civil war, ana
the prophet was lodged in the old Jail
near the historic court house which is
soon to be demolished. Governor
Ford assured the indicted men of an
impartial trial and ordered all to be
released on bond with the exception
of Joseph and Hiram Smith. The trial
began in the old court house on June
rs, 1874, but was postponed. The de-
lay angered the Gentle populace, ana
on the following evening, June q,
mob of. about 200 men, disguised with
streaks of paint, stormed the jail ana
fired volley of bullets at the defense
less prisoners Both Joseph and Hi
ram were instantly killed.
No attempt at retaliation was made
by the Mormons and the persecution
by the Gentiles was continued, with
the result that Nauvoo was abandoned
in 1886 and the long march to Utah,
under the leadership of Brigham
Young, was commenced.
Nauvoo is now village of less than
$500 inhabitants, with little to remind
the visitor that it was once the capt.
tai OF the Mormon church. The graves
of the murdered Smiths were neglect
ed for many years, but recently hand
some monument was erected by men,
bers of the Utah church.

MAYOR WRITES TO
 WALTER SESSIONS
LETTER IS IN CONNECTION WITH CITY DEFICIT ABOUT WHICH THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDER ABLE CONTROVERSY.

Chairman Walter L. Sessions of the pro- hibition committee yesterday received a letter from Mayor George B. Ward in re- ply to questions regarding the alleged deficit in the citys finances
 yOctober~ 10, 1907 M l.. Sessions, chairman, city.
 Dear sir:-Replying to yours of October 9. I find that Mr. Eustis's article was not given out over his official signature, all though it so appeared in a paper
 l am advised that there has since been published a correction to that effect hope that this additional publicity will settle that point to everybodys satis- faction
 In regard to the figures given by MT Eustis, I find that they are copied from the auditors report for the year ending December 31, 1906, as follows:
 General expenses .S6SO 945 "A Bond interest paid ................ 13l 2O5 .O0
 $S12, ,15O. "A Total receipts ... ................ $702, ,557 90 Excess technically called
 dsbursements) .... .............. 109592 .S2
 $S12 15O. "A This S1O9,OOO is not deficit. It is ex- plained in my annual report as follows: We should not overlook, however the fact that our floating debt was increased about $S4,O0O in the shape of notes issued for tangible Investments, which are either doing duty or steadily increasing in value, viz: Idlewild park, Twenty-frst street bridge, fire equipment and stations, inn provements to public property, etc.
 Notes issued for deferred payments on above were as follows:
 Additional property for fire de-
 partment ...........................$ .$22, ,192 5O Other city property and fm-
 pfoNements ........................ Il ,34O. 2z Twenty street bridge. e......... 14, 499 99 ldlewild park ........................ 100000
 S,632. .71 These notes extend oyer a period of four to 10 years. hence cannot be classed as disbursements for the year 1906, as some will not be due until late as 1916. Right here I will take occasion to say that for the past ten years the real financial condition of the city of Br mingham has been a matter of specula- tion and dispute. It is the source of con tention in-Nearly every campaign.
 In order that all such discussions might be removed in the future and for sound business reasons this administration has had in it's employ for the past two or three months, MT Howard c. Beck, deputy comptroller of the city of Detroit. He has revolutonized our system of bookkeeping, audited every department and has prepared a detailed and ana lytical statement of our actual financial condition. I understand from MT. Beck that this statement is now nearly com pleted and ready to be given to the public. l have not seen it and do not know myself will rl1n md aF riN1,e ac the rest of the public for it's appearance. I am sure that when it does come that the figures will be plain enough for even experts to "get together on" Trusting this is satisfactory. I am, very sincerely yours, GEORGE B. WARD, Mayor

 That he further denies that he. at the time stated, or at any other time made the said J. F. Donelson the prop osition that if the Southern Bitulithic company would pave in front of said property on sixth avenue that he would use his influence to. get the said com pany the contract.
 That he further denies that he en- tered into a written agreement or any agreement with the said J. F. Donel- son. that in case the said contract was awarded to said company that he tDon- elson) would take care of the assess ment on said property
 That he further denies that the said J. E. Donelson signed and gave him the written agreement to that ef- feet.

CONFERENCE CLOSES.
Only One Days Work Remains for
 Peace Discussion.

The Hague, October 1O-The first part of the proposition of Professor Demartens suggesting application for obligatory arbitration in the form of an additional act of the convention was rejected today by the committee of arbitration of the conference, where upon the professor withdrew his whole proposition.
 The report of James Brown Scott on the proposed International high court of justice was advanced by the com Snittee by 3S to 3 votes, three delegates being absent.
 The resolution of Sir Edward Fry to the effect that the governments in- stitute the court so soon as they have agreed on the method by which the Judges are to be chosen was then passed almost unanimously. The work of the peace conference is now practically finished. The sitting tomorrow will merely agree on the form of a declaration regarding obliga tory arbitration.

R. E. HARDAWAY
 IS REPORTED DYING
Was Principal of the Selma Public Schools for Twenty-Five
 Years.

Selma, October -(SpeciaL)-A telegram from Mrs. R. D. Hardaway, dated al Foley's, Ala, states that Prof. R. E. Hardaway principal for twenty five years of Selma public schools, is dying. Mir Hardaway, whose health has been failing for the past year, upon finding 'that he could not stand the Iabors of the approaching session ten dered his resignation to the school board. The board refused to accept the same, but granted him d years leave of absence. Upon the advice of phy- sicians he went to Perdido Bay, at d little place called Cassells.
 Tonight George A. Cunningham re- ceived a telegram saying: MT Harda way dying; can you come to Pensacola at once?" MT. Cunningham and Cap tain Partridge will leave tomorrow morning for Pensacola.

Would Have To Be Torn Up.

"That shortly after this meeting of the council several citizens of the ward ad- vsed him that they did not want the pavement on account of the expense, and he thereupon interviewed the city en- gineer, who stated substantially that if the pavement was made at that time part of 1t would have to be torn up in order to construct the necessary storm sewers on Sixth avenue as soon as proper legisla- tion could be had.
 ''rhat on or about June bids were re- ceived both asphalt and bituminous macadam, and as reported by the street committee the contract was awarded to the Nashville Roofing and Paving com pany, ana on account of numerous objee- tons of property owners he did not vote upon the passage of the ordinance, being satisfied that some who had signed the petition for the paving were not aware of the opinion of the city engineer
 That thereafter, on July 4. improve ment ordinance No. BAG, relating to this matter, was adopted, and he was recorded as voting for the same, together with all others, hut he has no recollection of this vote, and presurnes it was entered up in- formally as such votes are often done. August 14 was appointed for the hearing of the remonstrances and protests, and 1t that meeting. in company with numerous citizens of the ward, he appeared and protested against the ordinance, and the same w0s repealed.
 That The ahore is substantially his en- tire connection with this ordinance and it's repeal.
 And now having fully answered the said alleged charges of the said !. L.. Donelson, this respondent prays that the said alleged charges against him be dis missed.

Tells What Happened,

Said respondent further asserts that on or about April 1s, 1908, the street committee recommended the city engn- eer be instructed to draw the ordinance for paving Sixth and Seventh avenues as set forth with bituminous macadam.
 That shortly before April 20, 1906. some of the citizens in Sixth ward, owning property on the avenue pro- posed to be paved, came to him and ob- jected to paving the same on account of the expense of the same.
 That therefore he advised said clti- zens that they had better get up petition asking for competitive bids. s this was the only way, in his opinion. to defeat the ordinance.
 That thereupon the petition of the citizens for competitive bids was got ten up, dated April 25. 1906.
 That on May 2 1906, the committee recommended competitive bids, and the same was adopted by the City Council.
 That shortly before the meeting of the City Council. which 10 his best recol- lection. was on May g. 1906. J. E.
