RETURNS FROM BUSINESS
 AND PLEASURE TRIP
The Journey of MT. LeSueur Through
 the East.

James w. LeSueur. head of the dry goods department of the Gib- bons company. returned yesterday morning from a trip extending over several days, which was primarily for the purpose of laying in fall and win ter stock of goods and incidentally as a lcasure and sightseeing expedition. Mir LeSucur, under the head of sight seeing, included a visit to the many manufactures which are located in the city of Chicago and turning out num- Der of the different fabrics found in the LeSueur- Gibbons store. Upon one occasion Mir. LeSueur went across Lake Michigan and paid visit to the factory producing iron clad hosiery He saw the process from the carding of the wool to the final touches put up in finished pair of hose. One in cident of the trip across the lake was that the trip of 13O miles was made for 5O cents. which was inclusive of entertainment, consisting of a brass band and an orchestra. Dancing was kept up on the boat throughout the going and coming trip. It was the in tcntion of Mir. LeSueur to pay a visit to several of the historic places in llli- uois and Missouri which had consider abl" to do with the early history of the Mormon church, but on account of the high waters and flooded condi- tions throughout Eastern Kansas and Missouri this feature of the trip was dispensed with until the homeward start was made.
 Leaving chicago, the first stop was riade at Nauvoo, H.. where the Nor mons made their final stand before de- parting for Salt Lake City. Nauvoo vas at the time of the Mormon exodus a city oc 10000 and was larger than Chicago at that time. Every member of the faith left the place, and mis- sionaries are sent from here. From Nauvoo the next jump was made to Richmond, Mo, where a study was made Of the records on file in the county archives. showing the suits brought by the Mormon leaders against the mob for trespass. Mir. LeSueur also visited the grave of David Whit mer and also his carly home. Many pictures were taken of these scenes, it being the purpose of MT. LeSueur to use them in a stereOpticon set of views descriptive of the early strug- gles of the Mormon people The trip was continued on to Dcnve and thence to Boulder and Salt Lake. where rela- tives were visited. From Salt Lake the triu was in a rather indirect line to this place. The journey was not made without incident. for there were three wrecks ahead and one behind the train on which MT. LeSueur was trav- cling.

 Professor Sullivan is a well known eastern educator. He is a graduate of the Columbia university and for ten years has been prominent in educa- tional circles During that time he has been principal of several high and public schools and has given splendid satisfaction His particular reason for accepting a position in a town of this size when better opportunities were open to him was due to his desire to come west II SHOulu not pc JuuBtu from this that his health is poor: as matter of fact. he is physically sound and in robust health.
 The meeting that was held last night was for the further purpose of decid- ing upon the date of the opening of the four schools Of Tempe II is de sired that the date of the opening be uniform and though it has been pre- viously announced that the normal would open on the 9th of September it appeared yesterday that probably change would be made and that all the institutions would open on the 18th.
