NEW STATE OF UTAH
Inaugural Ceremonies Held
at Salt Lake.
THE CITY CROWDED WITH PEOPLE
Chief Justice Zane Administered the
Oath of Office to Governor Wells
and Other Officials Gov
ernor's Address.
Salt Lake, Jan. 6. Another state haa
teen added to the American Union, and
the rights of self-government have been
extended to a fuarter of a million of in-'
dustrions, law-abiding and intelligent
people. The acquisition of these long
sought rights causes universal joy among
all classes.
The oath of office was administered to
the state officials of Utah at noon today,
and the new state, with her vast mineral
wealth, great railway systems, agricnlt
nral . resources, churches and institu
tions of learning, starts off with the pro
mise of a bright and glorious fature.
Among those who took part in the cere
monies were many of the old pioneers of
1857, who faced the privations and
dangers of frontier life to lay the founda
tion of this great common-wealth.
The city was crowded with people from
all parts of the state. Acting-Governor
Bicnards had, by proclamation, declared
the day a holiday. AH business was
suspended and the buildings along the
principal streets were decorated with the
national colors. The day was ushered
in by the ringing of bells and the sound
ing of all the steam whistles in the
city.
After marching through the principal
streets the procession reached the Taber
nacle at 12 o'clock, where an immense
crowd was waiting for the inaugural
ceremonies. The great building had
been beautifully decorated for the occa
sion. Acting Governor Richards, as
master of ceremonies, called the house
to order, and prayer was offered by Wil
ford Woodruff, pesident of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
He addressed the creator as the God
of nations and the Father of all men.
He acknowledged the Lord's hand in the
liberty which had come to Utah, and
also in the wonderful transfiguration, of
this land, now teeming with plenty and
abundance. He prayed for the welfare
of the nation, to which Utah will be
ever loyal, and for the prevalence of jus
tice mercy, truth and peace throughout
this land, and that it may be extended
to all the earth, until eyery nation re
joices iu fraternal union and universal
brotherhood, and every soul is free to
worship as it sees fit and to exercise the
fullest liberty in every sense which
does not encroach npon the liberty of
others.
After the prayer the "Star Spangled
Banner" was rendered by a chorus of
1000 voices, under the direction of Pro
fessor Stevens.
After this the proclamation by the
president of the United States granting
statehood was read by ex-Delegate
Josepn Rawlins.
The oath of office was administrated
to the governor and state officers by
Chief Justice Zane, of the supreme court
of the state.
Governor Wells then delivered his in
augural address.
WESTERN KANSAS BURNING
Newspaper Bead hy the Light of the
Fire Fifteen Miles Away.
Wichita, Kan., Jan. 6. There are
probably two counties in Western Kan
sas covered by fire. Tonight lurid light
was seen in the sky, observable simult
aneously at Pueblo, Colo., and Wichita,
a distance of 500 miles. The supposition
is that there are two immense praira
fires in Kansas, a distance of about .150
miles apart. The Eagle has reports
from 19 towns, which indicate the larg
est fire to be in Kiowa county, and that
it is of vast proportio -e. Haviland is
the near, st station which can be reached
and the agent says the nearest fringe of
blaze is probably 15 miles away, but so
powerful that a newspaper can be read
by its light in his town. At St. John,
Stafford county, the people were panic
Btricken, as the fire is sweeping in their
direction before a strong wind.
Many farms have been abandoned for
years, and the fire is feeding on the rank
grass, sunflowers and dead hedges.
St. John people think that the loss of
properly and life of man and beast will
be appalling.
It is impossible to obtain details to
night, as operations on the Wichita &
Western road were recently abandoned
in that section of the country, and there
are no operators at the stations to report
the disasters of the fire.
