Franklin D. Richards · 1896 October General Conference · 1896-10-05
Reported by Arthur Winter for The Deseret Weekly, December 26, 1896, pg. 33-36; speaker did not review. Source verified against BYU ContentDM (desnews5 collection): the December 26, 1896 item tagged "Discourse" (dmrecord 11204) opens "DISCOURSE delivered in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, Monday, October 5th, 1896, by ELDER FRANKLIN D. RICHARDS, REPORTED BY ARTHUR WINTER," and its OCR text matches this file's body word-for-word (allowing for OCR noise); pages 33-36 of that issue are also present in the collection.

Heavyweight pass: replaced weebly source_url (banned as canonical) with the verified BYU ContentDM (desnews5) item for this article -- confirmed via the ContentDM dmwebservices API (dmGetItemInfo) that dmrecord 11204's OCR opens with the exact talk header ("Discourse delivered in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, Monday, October 5th, 1896, by Elder Franklin D. Richards, Reported by Arthur Winter") and its extracted text is substantively the same discourse as the vault body; weebly demoted to secondary witness per policy. Pages 33-36 of the December 26, 1896 Deseret Weekly issue are separately present in the same BYU collection. No boundary bleed found against the full conference proceedings context (Monday morning session, follows the opening hymn/prayer, precedes Brigham Young Jr.'s remarks).
