USE OF STEAM ON LINCOLN
AVENUE STOPPED

OGDEN. Feb. 7.-Contrary to in
structions from the city council. the
Salt Lake & Ogden Railroad COM
pany has been using a steam engine
TO pull Its cars along Lincoln avenue
on the first train each morning and
therefore the indignant property own
ers in that vicinity brought the mat
ter to the attention of the council and
the practise was at once ordered
stopped. At the time franchise was
granted to the intcrurban line, re-
quests were made to use steam on the
avenue. but so strong protest
arose from the citizens that this privl-
lege was absolutely denied Several
times since the railroad people have
petitioned the council to allow the tenn
Dorary use of steam, pending the com
pletion of the electric power house at
Lagoon, and each time these requests
have been turned down. 1t has been
feared by property owners that IL ony
concession was granted to the Bam-
berger interests, they would override
their privileges and that finally the use
of steam would be the regular means
of transportation in the city. Mr.. 81
mon Bamberger, president OF the COM
pan, has denied these rumors and now
states that within a very few weeks

den Will be operating with electric

OGDEN. Feb. Late Saturday
afternoon, the suit brought By Joseph
J., Rice against his former wife, Mary

custody of the children and granted
alimony in the sum OF $40 monthly.

former wife. at the same time kidnAp-
ping the children. whom he has kept
ever since. He also asked for the
custody of the children and petitioned
the court to release him from the pay
ment of further allmony to Mrs Rice.

be increased to s25 per month. In
passing his decision in the case.
Judge Howell confirmed his former
decision made at the time the inter-
locutory decree of divorce was grant

Volume Five
Church History
Published by the Church With Intro
duction by Elder B. III. ROBBERS.

This volume deals with tho history
OF tho Church from May 3, 1912, to
31st of August. 1S43. 1t. therefore.
covers q period of about sixteen
months. Tho main external events
may be set down as follows: First.
exposure of the wickcdness of John
c. Bennett. and his departure from
Nauvoo: (2) tho charge against the
Prophet Joseph of completely in an at
tempted assassination OF ex-governor
Lilburn w. Boggs. undcr whose cele-
brated exterminating order the body
of tho Church was driven from Mis-
souri,: (3) the attempt of the state
of Missouri to eXtrsdite the Prophet
from the state of Illinois. to be tried
as an accessory before the fact to an
assault on Ex-Governor Boggs: (4) q
second attempt ON the part of Mis-
souri, to extradite the Prophet from
the state of Illinois on the old charge
OF murder. treason. burglary. arson.
larceny. theft and stealing" first
brought against him in the year 1898:
(5) preliminary prospecting OF .he
west doubtless with a view to tho
contemplated removal OF the Saints
to the Rocky Mountains.
OF events that relate more nearly to
the Church as an organization there
should be mentioned: % the intro
duction of the endowment ceremonies
and enlarged instructions on the SUBJ
Ject of baptism for the dead:
(2) an extension of auxiliary
organization by bringing into existence
the Young Mems and women's So
ciety.
Another item OF great interest in
this volume Is the manifest develop
ment OF the character and spiritual
strength of the Prophet during this
period. The trying experiences
through which he passed seemed to
discover new qualities of soul power
within him, and to emphasize those
which he was known to have possess
ed.
The doctrinal development OF tho
period covered by this volume deals
with several items which may be re-
garded as preliminary to that richer
unfolding of philosophical thought TO
which the last year of the Prophets
teaching was so largely devoted.
