Conference Likely to Take Vp ()

Ontliaed or President.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo., April 10. (Spe
cial Telegram.) At the morning preaclilng
servlces at the Latter Day Saints' church
here. Elder David A. Anderson of the
quorum of seventy was the speaker.
President Frederick M. Smith was the
chairman at the business session this aft-
noon. The report of the committee ap
pointed to draw up resolutions of respect
and appreciation for the long; and faithful
services of Henry A. Stebblns, the retiring
church recorder, was received and adopted
by unanimous vote.
The board of trustees of Qraceland col
lege made report. Net enrollment was 142,
the largest In the history of the college.
Instead of a deficit, as has been heretofore
reported, the running expenses have been
met and a small amount was left In the
treasury.
The entire Meld, as assigned to the charge
of the various members of the twelve, waa
covered In a report and indicates a healthy
growth of Interests and results.
The first Quorum of seventy soma time
ago dropped from their number Hiram L
Holt, California, for unmlnlsterlal conduct.
This waa objected to and the proper course
of procedure in the matter of appeal has
been a mooted question. By vote today
the privilege was given the elder to ap
peal from the action of his quorum to the
high cquneii, .-ThlawnteHMlabllshes a pre
cedent and the youthful president waa
pressed closely for his construction and
Interpretation of the effect of the action.
President Haa Revelation.
President Joseph Smith then arose and
amidst the profoundest attention made the
following statements, which had great and
serious Impression upon his hearers:
One morning after waking, before I left
for conference, I passed a period of three
hours, and I never expect to be happier
or more contented In the spirit than I
was during that three hours. Certain mat
ters were presented to me, and among
them was this: We appear before the
world as advocates for what are called
signs of thi gospel the gospel signs the
accompaniments of the gospel economy as
Instituted by the Christ. A great deal of
comment has passed among our elders and
among our members and very largely in
our large branches as to why it Is there
are no more persons healed by adminlMtra
tion of the oil and the laying on of hands
than there are. My observation leads me
to the conclusion that there are a great
many more healings occur than are taken
notice of or than we are given credit for.
While there are a great many that are lost,
an a matter of course, but that which was
presented to me was this, that we ought,
is a people, to take this kind of a step:
To establish here (and I hope these In
dependence people won't go wild over it
because I say It), but it was presented to
the. what might be called a sanitarium or
hospital call it whatever words you like
that shall be under the supervision of some
earnest, upright and spiritual-minded offl
eer of the church, and that this sanitarium
hall be a place where our sick, who may
not be properly treated at their homes, may
be treated by the laying on or hands, by
the nnrslng as provided for In the law and
by such careful treatment as medical
knewledge within the province of our own
membership may be had, and thus see
whether or not we may not try the spiritual
forces for which we have been so long con
tending and at least put our hands and
our sacred honors In Juxtaposition and say
to the world, "We are willing that It shall
be given a trial an open trial," and I was
assured In that three hours of a spiritual
exaltation that there would he a fulfillment
of that prophecy; that the faces of Jacob's
children should not wax pale.
I hop that you will take this matter
under advisement, and I do not object to
Cur praying over It. I fully believe that
nanny of you there will come the degree

WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN
Snmmary of Conditions nt the Close
of Winter and First Week
in April.
Weekly weather bulletin for week ending
April 9, 1906:
January snd Februray were characterised
by high temperature and a small defi
ciency In precipitation. The temperature
was almost continuously high In January
with only two moderately cold periods,
on the 8th and 2Id, and these were of
very short duration, lasting only forty
eight to sixty hours each. In February
the temperature was about seasonable
from the 4th to the 16th, but the rest of
the month was almost continuously warm.
Practically all of the precipitation of these
months was snow. The amount of snow
fall In each storm was small and the high
temperature following melted It rapidly,
so the ground waa free from snow most of
the period and at no time was there more
than a light covering, two or three Inches
in depth.
March was a cold month with an excess
In precipitation, moat of which occurred In
the form of snow. The ground was covered
with snow almost continuously until the
last week. Melting snow and rain made the
soil very wet at the end of the month.
The following table gives the precipita
tion for each of the first three months of
the year for a few selected stations, also

any public clamor, politics or prejudice

sions, the report of the value of the
physical property as made out by the tax
commissioner of the road, standard railroad
publications showing the value of the
stocks and bonds, and the net earnings.

to say how much of the figure the value
of the physical property of the road had
cut In the board's final conclusions, but the
information was not forthcoming, as the
governor stuck to It that everything had
been considered. Mr. Greene then quit
trying and announced he would select a
future date to cross-examine the other

Nebraska owes a debt of gratitude to
tne - tree planters or pioneer days which
it can never repay. These Dilarlins of a
generation ago not only demonstrated that
trees could be successfully grown upon our
then bleak prairies, but they realized the
Importance of such growth upon climatic
conditions and they Inspired the settlers
with a seal for forestry which has dotted
the state with groves, making our climate
more equitable In point of humidity and
substantially adding to the beauty of na
ture ana tne enjoyment or man. Stat
istlclans tell us that the natural forests
are being rapidly depleted and that It 1b
a question or a comparatively short time
when the demand (or lumber will have to
be suppiK. from artificial groves. let us
anticipate tiiat time and get ready in the
f resent for the necessities of the future,
regard the planting of trees as a pa
triotic amy ana 1 run upon ail citizens,
in every walk of life, to devote at least
a portion of the day to practical forestry.
Let the minds of the school children be
especially directed In this channel and let
their instructors, by precept and examnle
teach them not only how to ulant trees.
but teach them also the important place
which the forest occupies in the economy
of nature, and let us all, both old and
young, plant at least one tree lor our own
pleasure and lor the benefit of posterity

It has been several weeks since the club
made Its strongest and ostensibly the las'
plea to the railroads concerned, and as yet
no definite results have come. Mr. Mc
Vann has been to Chicago several times to
see the railroad officials and no definite
promises have been made. The committee
has decided It Is time to use other means
to influence the roads.
The Jobbers say there Is a discrimina
tion against Omaha in favor of Sioux City.
Two years ago the rates from Sioux City
to South Dakota were lowered, but those
from Omaha remain unchanged. It is the
claim of the Jobbers that they are en
titled to rates on the same basis as Sioux
City.

gress on payment of a membership fee ot
175. A vote of thanks to Mr. Clarke wss
passed and he was given assurance that
the question of membership would be taken
up at a later date.
