I . President Jos. Worrell Is Called
Pneumonia Ends Fatally Thursday Afternoon-,
Funeral on Sunday.
Joseph Morrcll' piesldent of Cache
Stake, and for years a member of one
of the strongest business tirras of
northern Utah, the Campbell & Mor
rell Co., died athis home In this cltj
Thursday afternoon at 5:12) o'clock
l'rcs. M'orrell's death was dup to pneu
monia following a mental and ner
vous Illness of a'ycar or more While
it was generally understood that his
health was falling, It was not known
- by many that death was so near, and
CteL, Ills taking away at this time undoubt
J ' cdly comes as a shock to most.
President Morrell leaves two wives
and twelve children, highly respected
families now In deepest sorrow over
the loss of a father and husband, who
in his family relations was unques
tionably all that was loving, tender,
and kindness Itself
The funeral service will be held in
the Stake tabernacle Sunday at 2
o'clock. The remains can be lewed
at the Morrell residence between the
hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m on Sunday.

The Water.
To correct false impressions that
seem to be prav.ilcnt in regard to the
present muddy water and the nausea
ntlng lluld we were compelled to drink
recently, It is stated that the water
master and his aids have done and are
still doing all that is possible to secure
for us the ery best water. Dining
the recent cleaning of the canal, the
city was supplied three davs with
water from the old reservoir cast of
the temple. This had been cleaned
thoroughly by the same men who had
- r cleaned It dlltcrent ears before when
$& " natl Deen usecl" Waiermaster Pet
jHrW., crson superintended the Job, followed
the suggestions oilercd by those fami
liar with that particular woik before,
and then put new clay on the bottom
Fully a week after the use of thlsaes
ervolr had been discontinued came
the nasty.undrlnkable watr that was
v our portlon,aud those unfamiliar with
the fact that the water was then com
ing through the tegular channel at
tributed the bad taste and smell to
the old reservoir Rumois were and
still aro afloat, but these are absolute
ly without foundation. The whole
river was affected at that tlmejlln
Hercules power plant people noticed
it, and people using water from tho
river In the southwest part or the city
noticed It. Some thought the bad
taste was the result of tar used In Us
ing the Hume, or pipes, but none was
usqd. Others attributed It to "sheep
dip" Ih the mountains, but there have
been no sheep In tho mountains for
. quite awhile, and as for anything hav
ing fallen In the canal, Supt. Peterson
says that this Is and was examined
dally, a man being near the screens In
the canyon at all times The dlftlcul

Kensington.
Mrs. J. A. Bexell entertained Satur.
d ly afternoon at the delightful home
on College Hill. This was a Kensing
ton, the feature of which was a con
test In dressing dolls. Most of the
ladles demonstrated that they had
not lost the art of childhood, and In
many instances the little dollies were
arrayed In all the glory that Is re-
putcd to tho Illy and net to Solomon.
Mrs Leandcr A, Ostlen was voted the
best seatnstiess and designer among
those present, her success being at
tributed to the fact that she once
read a Kclstcr ladles' tailoring pam
phlet, and at, ono time was instructor
. in history In tho room adjoining the
Domestic Arts department at the
"A. 0. College." Following the time
devoted to sewing, a four courso
luncheon was served. Those who en
! Joyed Mrs. liexcll's hosptality were:
Mcsdamcs Cotey, Ostlen, Wlnge,
Fisher, Moore, 0 C. Goodwin, Voder,

years of age a his death, his birth
having taken place'ln London, Fcb.ll,
18.V5. The parents emegrated to
Cache Valley when he was but a boy,
so that the late President was reared
In this valley. He had'the few advan
tages that were part of earlier days
here, and what lie was he made him
self by force of will. His first Identi
fication with the business life of this
city was as a clerk.in the . C. M. l.'s
branch here. In 1882 he and It. S.
Campbell formed a partnership. The
Campbell & Morrell Co prospered and
was ever known as ono of the strong
est firms In the city.'
In public life Mr. Morrell held
various civic and religious positions
before his elevation to tho presidency
of Cache Stake. He was a member of
the state legislature and the Logan
city council; he was an active worker
in the Y. Si. M. I. A., performed a
mission In the southern states, was
acting l.ishop of the Third ward at
one. time, and counselor to Apostle
Merrill when that gentleman presid
ed over Cache Stake. Mr. Morrell
was elevated to the presidency of tills
stake in 1001.
The City Band.
The LoganClty Band, under. Direc
tor George II. Thomas, gave a concert
in front of the court house Wednesday
afternoon. Fourteen members of the
organization were present and maae
a very fair showing considering that
at this tlmeJhey arc attempting to
produce concert music. The band
gives evidence that with even a couple
of weeks good practice it could tear
oil In a very satisfactory way some of
the lighter stirring marches, and If in
the street work it would produce this
class or music until the boys have their
concert music down to the perfection
that Is necessary to make conceit mus
ic worth listing to, it would create a
much more favorable impression. Tin:
Hki-uhlican has faith In the Logan
City Hand, wants to sec It a perma
nent organization and the pride of the
city, and It can easily become that If
the gentleman now connected with It
will but be regular in their practice.
The boys should not get discouraged
at any seeming coldness on the part
of the public every man and every or
ganization lias to be proved before be
ing taken up enthusiastically. A
number offer the assurance that when
the Logan City Band gives evidence of
real stability and the possibility of be
coming a musical organization worth
tho while, they will give It liberal sup
port. We believe that if the 6oys will
stay together and do some good work
they will have no cause to regret It

This afternoon and tonight Harriet
Purtly Smith and 200 or Logan's ta
lent will present at the opera house
the" Witch or the Woods,"the extrav

those who have witnessed portions of
the production It can hardly be
doubted that as a scenic alfalr this

costumed to advantage and trained to
the highest degree of perfection in
rhythmic motion, the general ctlcct
produced under colored lights is said
to be extremely beautiful The whole

All Aboard for Ogden Town
U. C. TVs Invite Is, Will Run an Excur

Tho Utah Commercial Travelers,
the people who were In Logan last
year and the year before, arc arrang
ing for a monster demonstration In
Ogden on June 7,8,and "The boys"
want all of Cache Valley to Join them
In their festivities there and accord
ingly sent Messrs. Musselman, Decker,
Barns and Richardson to Logan Wed
nesday night to boost for the occasion.
A meeting of members of the Cache
Commercial Club was held at the club
rooms Thursday afternoon ind these
LT. C. T. representatives extended a
cordial invitation, and In surpassing
eloquence urged that the city and val
ley send down not less tlian a thous
and people on the excursion that will
leave here early Friday morning,
June 8
As the gentleman warmed to their
subject, quoted scripture, heaped
encomiums upon Cache Valleyitcs for
good times given them In the past,
told us how much they loved us. and
then expatiated on that wondrous
parade of automablllouscs, floats, fine
horses, mounted police, lire depart
ment, 1,000 commercials in uniform,
secret societies and Bill Classman, all
were sorry that the excursion was not
leaving for Ogden within the hour.
When they finished telling about
that $3,000 to be spent for decoration,
electric light illumination, a big free
feed for business men and the free
dances, most of those present wanted
to start out and walk so as to get
there In time. And when the possi
bilities of that ball game were des
canted upon, the horse races wero
mentioned, and the big excursion
across the cut-oil at $1 per, with a
thirty minutes stop-over privilege at
brewery, was mentioned
the crowd grew so enthusiastic that
they thanked the gentlemen for com
ing up, appointed a half dozen com
mittees to boost, and guaranteed 1,500
excursionists for the big excursion to
Illlltown.
It was set forth that a rate or $1 75
round trip rate had been secured lor a
special leaving here Just before the
regular 8:15 train and returning about
12 o'clock at night, or a $2.2.) round
trip rate good until Juno 10. It was
also related that low rates have been
sccuied on all railroads and that
Ogden Is expecting a tcrrlllc crowd
there.

It Is gratifying to note that many of
the prominent business men arc en
thusiastic over the proposed excursion
Tho Logan Military band has been en
gaged to play, and if on tho day of the
big parade a great procession of Cache
Valley people are present to drop be
hind this splendid musical organiza
tion, It will make all concerned
feel "purty goot." The committee
on parade will no doubt arrange for
some suitable banners, badges, colors,
anything that will make the Cache
Valley bunch conspicuous, and Just
at present everything looks favorable
for a successful excursion and a de
lightful time at Ogden. The latest
announcement is that II. G Ilayball
lias agreed to take down his $10,000
graphophone, and that Electrician
Daniels hopes to have his new auto
mobile herein tlmcto make the trip.
V
Accepted.
Some of the First Noith street athl
etes and ball tossers assembled yester
day, cast up the situation, counted an
cx-N 'w York league pitcher and all
'round phenom In their list, noted the
presence of an ex champion manager
or Utan clubs, a bow-legged swattor
of every ball that ever came his wav.a
champion right fielder', and a few
other "ical things," so decided to ac
cept the challenge of the Center street
boys ror a game of ball on July A.
They send the following to Tun Bu
rt llUCAN.
Center Strcetcrs:
TheFlrst .North streetcrs beg to ac
knowledge the receipt of your daintily
worded challenges of recent date, and
accept the same In the kindly spirit
manifest. Though conscious of the
fact that wostoop low when wo con
sent to appear In public with the
booze-grafters, escaped convicts, miss
ing links, and candidates for the Pro
vo asylum that infest the cow trail
south of First North street, wo feel
that in meeting you and wiping you
olf the face of this mundane sphere
we shall be doing Logan city a service
beyond computation. When in the
course of human events disreputable
gutter-snipes become so wrapped up
in their own self-importance as to be
llevo that in any kind or contest they
can serve a defeat to people who know
more and can do better In sports than
the Inventor of the game, they should
be tarred and feathered for their Im
pudence. On July 4,or any other datd
the First North strcetcrs agree to
meet on a diamond in Logan any bunch
or pill dispensers, pot-silngcrs, pole
climbers, carpet-stretoliers, olllclals
that loaf about the light office, habit
ues of the bowling alley, money
changers, and lather swipeis, that
Center street can scrape together. Wo
do not fear even the devils at the
print shops. We will meet you In
baseball, foot races, hurdles, wrestling
or rag-chewing. All wo ask is that
there be no such delay In bringing it
to a head as there has been in tho
Smoot case.

The City Schools.
The llfty-llve graduates or the Lo
gan city schools engaged In their com
mencement program at the tabcr
naclo Thursday evening beforo a host
of friends. The entire class in chorus
work covered themselves with glory
and the Individual numbers were very
tine. But for the great length of tho
exercises they would have been sur
passingly enjoyable, but like at prac
tically every public alTair in this city,
the program proved of such length
that the comfort and pleasure of the
evening was decidedly marred. Tho
writer wasn't there, for lie, In com
mon with many others, has ceased to
attend many public affairs because of
their abominable length, and tills ex
pression comes from those who
on this occasion and many times In
the past have felt constrained to sit
through the unreasonable time public
affairs arc mado to last.
Tho chorus "O Tender Buds" Is said
to have been exceptionally well done,
and thoroughly cnloyablc. Iicne
Hendrlckson, Winnie Parkinson,
Wesley Anderson and Edwin Smith
carried tho Solo work In "Flora and
Forester," and this throughout was a
good number. "Bright Summer
Days," by the class, was a very charm
ing, catchy selection.
Luclla Andrews In her recitation
"The Fireman's Prayer" showed ex
ceptional dramatic talent, and Lucllo
Hart's violin solo brought forth un
stinted praise.
Wlllard Evans Thaln and Edwin
Smith In the salutalbry and valedlc
toiy carried themselves with credit to
the class. The piano solo by M. Irene
Hendrlckson was very delightful, and
Claire Cranney In recitation wa9
hardly less enjoyable. Tho violin
duet, Lucllo Hart and Florence
Smurthwalto proved an exceptional
number
Tho Thatcher orchestra furnished
the delightful music that It furnishes
on any and every occasion.
President Kerr, of tho A, 0. of U.,
delivered tho address to the graduates
offering much timely advice and kind
ly suggestion.
The closing exercises of the Brig- H
ham Young College begin Sunday H

MILLVILLE, May 31. This after- H
noon the captain of our baseball team JH
received a message from the team In M
Hyrum to come over and play a game. M
It took the boys only fifteen minutes M
to get on the road. Two of their IH
best men were absent but a couple of M
farmers lilted their ranks and the H
bunch wheeled over the road con lldent IH
of success. The teams met each other M
In terrific combat and a very close M
game followed, our boys walloping tho J
foreigners by a scoro of 10 to 8. They H
can do It again any place In tho coun- M
ty. Our team Is rigged up with com- H
plcto baseball material and aro pre- M
pared to wallop tho Maughan family M
if they get on our ground. The vv rlter M
is especially proud of the good be- M
haviorof our boys In leaving their de- M
clslons to the umpire. Some of the H
foreigners need to become American- H
ied and surrender to a Just decision, M
especially from a Judge of their own M
number. M
In the last issue of Tin: Rki'Uhli-
can a mistake was mado in tho num- H
bcr of school children enrolled in our U
schools. There arc 105 Instead of 12.", Bl
as reported.
Something very serious must have U
happened in our courts. Tho Justice KM
of the peace was seen hauling some 3
lumber caskets to the mountains with H
a four horse team and he was armed H
to meet any engagement. It is sup- H
posed he got tired of feeding our con- R
vlcts during tho rainy weather. !
