Mormon Prophet John Taylor mourned by Salt Lake Herald

The Salt Lake Herald notes the Mormon leader John Taylor as head and prophet mourned for the third time in his life. It reflects reverence for him and sympathy at retirement to avoid arrest, while hinting prosecutions might have altered fate. The paper also relates Dr Willard Richards account of Carthage and Joseph Smith’s death, with militia patrols and revolver claims.

Rail rumors puff Wichita as Santa Fe St Frisco link grows

A flurry of private telegrams and railroad talk centers on Wichita becoming the hub of a vast Santa Fe System in southern Kansas. Reports claim Santa Fe plans direct lines to St Louis and Texas via Frisco ties, plus a possible $10,000,000 stock move. Officials deny details, but industry chatter says a merger or purchase is near, with Wichita poised to gain as a major western rail center. The essay also extols local boosterism, Herrington and Sawyer town growth, and distant mentions of Lincoln speeches and national issues.
