Presidents [Lorenzo] Snow and [George Q.] Cannon were at the office today. A telegram was received announcing the death of President F[rancis]. A. Hammond yesterday.
President Cannon brought up the question of placing the biographies of the leaders of the Church in the History of The Church about to be published. He stated that some of the biographies were quite voluminous and thought it would be better
to make brief foot-note references about these men including date of birth, etc., up to the time they joined the Church, and then their history would be so interwoven with the history of the Church that no further reference save as it is in connection with the History would be necessary. President Snow approved of this plan thinking it was the best way to do.
Because of the failure of their crops on account of continued drouth the sum of $300 was appropriated to the Tropic Ward, Panguitch [Utah] Stake. (1)

Sisters Emeline B. Wells and Elmina S. Taylor called upon President [Lorenzo] Snow to get advice as to what architect they should employ in the erection of the new woman's building they are contemplating building. President Snow suggested Don Carlos Young.
At the solicitation of Dr. James E. Talmage, President Snow and Bishop [William B.] Preston visited the Deseret Museum. (1)
Attended interview with President [Lorenzo] Snow, and later a conference between the President, the Presiding Bishop of the Church [William B. Preston] on the one side, and the Governor of the State [Heber M. Wells], and members of the State Board of Land Commissioners on the other. The question under consideration was the disposition of the Deseret Museum now that the University of Utah has vacated the building previously occupied by the two institutions jointly. Today the control of the building passes from the control of the University authorities to that of the State officials. The result of the conference was that the State officers granted to the Museium the entire building together with the grounds and the other structures situated thereon, for a term of one year or until other quarters are provided for the Museum. It has been decided by President Snow that the Museum be permanently housed in the new building now in course of erection on the old "Council House" corner, now the property of the Deseret News. This promises the best accommodations within sight and will be of a great improvement as to location and space on the present quarters. (2)
