The article deals with the evidence introduced at the Carter trial, and it is handled as only one familiar with all the details of the case could handle it It says a gdeat deal about the preparation of the case, but in that connection it may be said that Mr. Thomas, the special agent of the Singer company might tell an entirely different story as to that matter. Anyway, his version of it would be interesting. But as to Mr. Holtons fitness to fill the position of District Attorney, the public need not heed what either The Journal Or .that gentlemans defender says, but just visit the court house on M&reh 1st, and watch his work m the Hopson murder case. That will speak londer than any newspaper article, written to bolster up incompetency, and will justify the democratic contention in the last electon that while Mr. llolton was a very fine young man he was not legally equipped for the District Attorneyship. i The directors of the Central Milling company met yesterday and declared a ten per cent dividend for the past year.

David Eccles appeared before the board of county commissioners on Saturday, and asked for a ribt of way over the county roads in the southern end of Cache county, for a new steam railway, which has hitherto been designated as Eccles road, but which that gentleman admitted ia to be a part of the Oregon Short Line. Mr. Eccles desired to build his road along the main county road in Millville, and this fact brought out a crowd of citizens of that place to protest aganst his being allowed to do so. After the Eccles petition had been read, the sugar magnate explained that he had originally intended to build this road himself, but after a great deal of work and at some personal expense, he had induced the Short Line to construct it. r ' Protestant Win Out.

Although he was very desirous that a derision as to the franchise should be rendered On Saturday evening, the commissioners did not feel like granting his request for immediate. action, bnt adjourned until this morning in order to get time to think over the matter- carefully, and consult some of their, constituents. During the .course of ihe over the petition, Mr: Eccles let drop a few statements that show very plainly that the new road is not going to be the wonderful boon that Rome people iu.thesouth end have imagined it would her Commissioner Darley, always on the lookout for the interests of 'his' end of the county, wanted to know about the service on the n$W $pmv whether it would he regular; and whether or not passenger trains will he run over it. No passenger Service. Mr-- EccleO'was candid in assuring him' that no passenger trains would be run, and as to the freight trains, he couldnt say whether they would he run reguI larly, or whether they would be run at all after the close of the bed hauling season. Ilj the Short Line finds that it will pay to run them regularly all-th.year, it will no doubt do so,w said Mr. Eccles, but I earft guarantee anything as to that, for I am not a Short Line official, and therefore cant aay what that company will do.1 Commissioner Knowles wanted to know wliether the Cache Valley loop waa to he enarged ultimately, and the piece of rod torn out between here and Men-- d on,' thus compelling Loganites to travel around by Hyrom and the Bible contains specific mention of angels having Visited the earth, and promises that others shall yet come down froW heaven to warn u.

It is not unreasonable to believe that these worlds are people by a race rftre intelligent than we. If so it is quite reasonable to suppose that these communication between worlds and ours could be maintained byv those heavenly messengers. Time would not permit the completion of the lesson. Sister Susa Young Gates Alluding to the leeture of Sister Carlisle, told of the admirable character of Sister Taylor. She expressed a sympathy in particular for the boys and the girls who find it hard to do right. , :f There are, many who find it comparatively easy to do right, but there are so many who find it difficult to tread the straight and narrow path, and to them my heart always goes out. There is but one way to find the truth and that is by bending your knees and humbly asking knowledge of God. You cant reason your way into the church, or reason truth into your soul, there is but one way to get the truth, and that ia the way the Prophet Joseph got it. Once get that testimony and all things good, come to you compara tively easy. Dont complain because your girls gavefrivolous fancies, or that your boys use bad words but see the testimony of the truth burns brightly in their hearts as yon can make it, then trust to the Holds future,- be patient and wait. Love confidence to 'seek' them, inspire in their hearts. If they possess the In spirit it will save them.

Later, The Journal man asked it, and the millionaire sugar man blustered around a good deal in answering. He insisted that it was child's talk to speak of the Short Line doing such a thing. , Do you think the railroad compahy would haul all its Logan, Smithfield, Richmond and Preston freight around by Hyrum and Wellsville t he demanded. Not iquch; it costs too much to haul things by rail for anything of that kind to be done. Well, said the reporter, If your road around the south end of the county is put in, it will be necessary to put an extra train on there wont it! Certainly it will.
