Governor West has issued the following: The 30th of April next is the centennial anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington as the first President of the Republic. It is right and proper that our whole people should unite in due and proper observance, commemorative of the notable event which established a new and independent power among the nations of the world, and placed in authority one called from the people by the people to rule in their name. In accordance with the proclamation of the President of the United States, I recommend that Tuesday, April 30th, be observed as a holiday by the people of this Territory, and that appropriate commemorative religious services be held at 9 o'clock in the forenoon of that day. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the Territory to be affixed. Done at Salt Lake City, Utah CALEB W. WEST, By the Governor, INAUGURATION DAY. RELIGIOUS.

I realize what the Apostle that straight and narrow path in Paul said when speaking to the which they have been placed, so Saints in one of his epistles: that that they may eventually return in"though we or an angel from heaven to the presence of their Father in preach any other Gospel unto you heaven. than that which you have received, let him be accursed." The principles of the Gospel as repeated by the Apostle Paul are believed in and practiced by the Latter-day Saints. The Elders of Israel are sent abroad among the inhabitants of the earth to proclaim these principles, to teach the Gospel of glad tidings to the children of men, to bring mankind to a knowledge of God and the requirement which He makes of us as His children. They have in mind the assertion of the Apostle Paul and guard against teaching anything that is not in keeping with the Gospel as he taught it and as the former-day Saints received it. On many occasions we find him dwelling particularly upon the necessity of the people exercising faith in the Almighty in the promises which He had made to them on condition of their faithfulness or obedience to the laws of the Gospel. We are given to understand that without this faith it is imposthe inauguration of the first Presi-sible to please God; for he that dent of the United States may be appropriately commemorated throughout this Territory and in all the Stakes of Zion. In response to the proclamation of Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, and of Caleb W. West, Governor of the Territory of Utah, we deem it proper that Tuesday, the 30th of April, 1889, be observed by the Latter-day Saints as a day of thanksgiving to the Almighty for the establishment of this Republic, and of prayer for the perpetuation and extension of civil and religious liberty. We therefore request the Presidents of Stakes and the Bishops of the several Wards to co-operate in making arrangements for the holding of public services, in their various Stakes or Wards as will be most convenient, that the centennial anniversary of WILFORD WOODRUFF, GEORGE Q.

SMITH, Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. cometh to Him must believe that We find in the 11th chapter of The principle of repentance was also associated with the Gospel taught by Paul, and it is believed in by the Latter-day Saints. In his epistle to the Ephesians the same Apostle dwells upon the matter at some length, explaining the neces sity for putting away that which is contrary to the Gospel which he taught the people. There are many things that I might dwell upon in connection with this same principle, did time permit, which we as Latter-day Saints would do well to think of-many things to which we are addicted that are contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have not attained to a full state of perfection. The Gospel has not been upon the earth for more than about sixty years. I can readily understand that many of our veterans living today were trained in their childhood in the sectarian belief; that it will take time for them to eradicate from their minds the impressions made upon them in their youth; and considering the fact that the Gospel has been upon the earth for so short a space of time, the Latter-day Saints are, indeed, the best, the most favored and blessed people upon the face of the earth today. What has placed them in that happy position? Nothing else than the Gospel of Christ the principles that are taught them by the prophets of God --the Spirit which is granted unto them at the time they bowthemselves in obedience to the law of God, go down into the waters of baptism and receive a remission of their sins, thereby becoming fit subjects for the reception of the Holy Ghost.

S. M. STOCKSLAGER, Commissioner. Criminal Carelessness. The Manti Sentinel of recent date relates a peculiar incident. A grist was taken to one of the Sanpete mills. After the wheat had gone through the first seive a bottle half filled with strychnine was found in it. Fortunately the phial was not broken nor uncorked. But for this fact and its fortunate discovery, there is no knowing how many mysterious deaths might have been the result. When the miller found the bottle it was dusty, and appeared as if it might have been put away upon a shelf and from its resting place dropped into the grain. The parties whose carelessness caused the deadly drug to find its way into the wheat cannot be too highly censured. Such an absence of care is criminal. We endorse the strictures of the Sentinel in that regard. In the Hands of a Mob. the cars for Augusta. I did not feel Trying to Attach "Tribune" Stock. Attorney-What salary do you get, Mr. Goodwin?

On the 4th of this month a mob of sixteen men came in pursuit of me and my companion. They went to a house of one of the Saints and discovered we were not there. The inmates talked to them in such a way that frightened them, and they left. On Monday night we received word by a friend that they were coming after us in the night, so we took refuge in a safe place, but they did not put in an appearance. On Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock they came after us. There were forty in the crowd, all armed with shot guns and clubs. They took us out of the house, and marched us around in the woods for a while, pulling our hair and making us look down the barrels of their guns. They then commenced to talk about what they would do to us. Some wanted to shoot, some to whip and others wanted to let us go. if we would make certain promises. They could not agree, so they took a vote and the majority were in favor of letting us go without any violent abuse. We had to promise to leave the country and never return or send any other Elders there. This promise we made, but bore our testimony to them. They marched us eight miles through the woods to the depot; here they put us under a guard of twenty men with guns for two hours, to await for the train to come. If anybody was ever glad to see a train arrive I was.

Adjournment was then taken to 11 a. m. next day, when P. H. Lannan, business manager of the Tribune, was examined as a witness. His testimony was in substance a corroboration of what Judge Goodwin had said. There was a slight discrepancy, however, in regard to the arrangement with Mr. Mackay, Mr. Lannan stating that one-half of his interest in the Tribune was to go to Mrs. Goodwin instead of to the Judge. This was done, Mr. Lannan said, because Mr. Mackay had no confidence in Judge Goodwin's business abilities and would not consent that the stock should was paid for. Goodwin-It is simply a verbal Attorney-Well, you are a business man, or, that is to say, you have done some business; now, will you state to the referee whether this is a business way of doing business? Goodwin-Probably not under ordinary circumstances, but I know Mr. Mackay to be a man of his word. Attorney-What do you consider your interest in the paper worth? Goodwin-Well, I could not say. If Utah gets Statehood, the Tribune would not be worth two bits, and if this thing continues I shall not stay in the country two weeks. Attorney-When is this note due, and what evidence have you that $16,000 has been paid on it? There was some curiosity expressed on the streets to know how Judge Goodwin became indebted to Mr. Carter. It appears that some time ago suit was entered against Goodwin for the amount in question by a certain party. He confessed judgment, and in order to satisfy the claim, he borrowed the amount, $1,222, on his personal note, endorsed by Judge McBride. note matured, but the Judge failed to materialize and Mr. Carter began the present proceeding for his cash. The An interesting development in the case is the sudden disappearance of Colonel Hollister, who left for Montana on the morning of April 18th. He owns some of the stock of the Tribune and it is suspected that some connection exists between his departure and these proceedings. Messrs. Wollacott and Lochrie applied to Judge Anderson for a subpoena for Mr. Hollister, April 19th, and the request was granted. Mr. Lochrie says that he will hold the case open until the witness re Good win-The note was given Another witness in the case will be Arthur L.
