to Gov. Emory, of Utah, polygamy is on
the decline among the Mormons, and he
gives peculiar reason for the decline. II
is attributable neither to missionaries nor
to Bibles, but to the growth among Mormon
women of a taste for extravaganza and

shall We Have ~ New Fire EngIne=
The question of purchasing new
steam fire engine will in all probable
ity be brought up before the City
Council at its meeting to -night, and it
is hoped they will act in the premises
with due consideration. The fact that
a new steamer is almost an impera
tive necessity to the safety the proper
~ Of the city, has been but recently
demonstrated. The steamer now in
use does good work, but it
is about eleven years
old, and is getting well worn, and if
in the midst of a raging fire something
should give way, the city would be
left to the mercy of the flames.
AS for the hand engines, they are
also all old and out Of repair, and, in
heavy fire, are not capable of much
service. Hence, all things considered,
we are almost compelled to have q
new steamer. 1t can be purchased
very cheap now. Besides, we learn that
some generous and liberal citizens have
agreed to advance a portion of the
money for said purchase, and II proper
steps are taken we have no doubt the
purchase can be easily made. notwith-
standing the pressure of the times. 1t
is to be hoped by all means that the
Board tonight will take prompt ac-
ton in the matter.
