The sewer question is still in the hands of a council committee and so is the town hall proposition. © Both questions have been dragging along under the plea that more time is needed and that questions of such importance can not be determined quickly. It will be conceded that matters of this character cannot be attended to in a minute, but it seems as if a year ought to be suf ficient time for the council to make up its mind what is needed in the shape of sewers. A sewer system and a town hall for Sayre are need- ed badly and before the summer months arrive, both questions should be determined either one way or the other.

The Mormon church was founded with five or six members following these visions, and the wanderings of the Mor- { mons from then until they finally took up their abode in the valley e Salt Lake in Utah was eaphical described. “The speaker said that there are | now 280,000 Mormons in Utah, or three-fifths of the population, and (that Mormonism practically con- | trols Wyoming, Idaho and Indian Territory, and thousands of Mor | mons people the states of California, | Hlinois, Michigan and [owa besides. “A short time ago Rev. Petrie (traveled in Utah, and for a time saw the conditions as they exist in | Salt Lake city, and he told of the | strange customs of polygamy and of the practices which make Mor- monism abhored by civilized gen- tiles. The doctrine of Mormonism was explained and the important part that it plays in the politics of part of the land in which it reigns supreme was shown to be all powerful. “Rev. Petrie dwelt on the lives of the more prominent Mormons —the Smiths, Brigham Young and Reed Smoot, prominent of late because of the efforts to deprive him of his chair in the United States Senate. Reed Smoot is not a polygamist, but the efforts to oust him must show that he is an apostle of the Mormon faith which by its oaths of allegiance binds one even above those of his country. An interesting dis- cussion followed the address in which several additional points were brought out.” COMING NEXT WEEK The forthcoming annual visit of the Murray & Mackey company will no doubt be warmly welcom. ed by the lovers of all that is good in comedy and melodrama.
