st. Paul, Sept. 16.-Although the
night was one of terror and anxiety
for the watchers at the bedside Of

reports received here indicate that his
condition is much more hopeful. From
the bulletin issued by DR.. Mayo at

at 3 o'clock this morning the gover-

This fact was not given out at that
time, and was rather startling when

morning the patients condition was so
much improved thats.t newspaper
men on watch at the hospital decided
to get some sleep, the house physician
promising to notify them IL anything
serious happened.

CROWD Fifteen

Chicago's Greeting to Nations
Chief Executive a Royal
and Hearty One
ONE HUNDRED AHD FIFTY
THOUSAND SCHOOL CHILDREN
Police Protection is iisarly Perfect
There Being One Officer for Every
Ten Feet of the Route Over Which
Taft Will Pass.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-President Taft,
smiling his appreciation at the voci-
ferrous welcome and f1awless weather,
arrived here at 1913 o'clock this
morning. The crowd. restrained by
the perfect police arrangements, was
at the temporary depot at 55th street
where the president alighted, and
stretched for fifteen miles along the
route his automobile was scheduled
to travel.
The president arose early this morn
ing on his private car the Mayflower.
Sending for Assistant Secretary Mis-
cheler at Z o'clock he started in be-
fore breakfast to dictate rough draft
of the Orchestral hall speech which
he will deliver tonight The presi-
dents first public appearance Of the
day was made at Elkhart. where he
stepped out on the rear platform just
long enough to give the crowd gath
cred at the station his thanks for the
cordial greeting. He begged on from
a speech.
Chicago started early today in its
preparations to receive the president.
The public school children and re-
ception committee were abroad almost
with the rising of the sun. The 150,-
600 children who lined the road the
president took in his trip through the
south parks started for their posts
shortly before the regular time for the
opening of school. More than 1000
police were used in the effort to pro-
tect the president. Aside from certain
striking details this is the largest
assignment of police ever made in
Chicago. There was policeman prac-
tically every ten feet along every road
over which the president Travelled.
The reception committee greeted
the president ON his arrival and no
sooner had he shaken hands with the
members of this committee than he
was turned over to the much larger
one representing the various depart
ments Of Chicago's business and pro-
fessional life. Thirteen automobiles
awaited the arrival of the presidential
party. These were entered and the
two hours review of the school chill
dren began.
Then for miles the president bowed
and smiled and waved his hands to
the enthusiastic youngsters who sang
patriotic songs and waved American
flags in his honor. The presidents
delight at the unique demonstration
showed plainly in his face.
The school yells of the young peo-
pie frequently stirred the president
to hearty chuckles. The line of re-
view produced practically an uninter-
rupted roar Of shrill cries ranging
from the treble of the little freshman
and the uncertain squeaks of the
voices at the changing period to the
roars of the seniors. The girls as
we'll as the boys participated in the
uproar, and they bore the burden Of
the singing.

Edmonton, Alta, Sept. 16.-After
an absence Of seven months, during

entire staff Of chief officials, including
E. A. James. general manager, who
was former manager of the Canadian
Northern railway; DR.. Wadell. chief
consulting engineer, and G. w. Minty,
solicitor.
I'VE may have been little late,
but the people of Edmonton will
have good reason to be thankful for
our coming" said Mr.. Clarke. Build
ing railroad on paper and building
Eit In actual fact are two very differ
ent things. The people of Edmon-
ton. Of course. have had our railroad
built many times over on paper. But
1t means the spending Of vast time
and patience, to start the machinery
in motion for the construction OF a
railway. It is hard for. the public to
realize just what is entailed in get

Tribune has called attention TO the fact
that there was an effort in the mid.

saints in Utah what was called the

tion fashioned under the CLAW OF

had reference. We have also pointed
to its complete failure because Of the
abuses and iuiusticcs that began TO APP

therefore, APOSTLE Whitney s inspiration
was absorbed from the columns Of this
paper,
The Mormon people arc quito as hu.

and so long as the memory of that
old "United Order Of Euoch shall

holds good for indefinite time; for the
