The palm for ingenuity in the use of
dynamite for private murder must, for
the present. be conceded to the
assasslns OF Mr.. ARIA merchant of
Bucaramauga. in the State OF Santan-
der, one OF the United States Of Colom-
bia. They put the explosive in the
lock OF his store-dore, and when he
turned the key, the door and it's owner
were blown to pieces. There is some
thing extraordinary in the rapidity with
which the mania has spread this year
for using dynamite in the place of gun.
powder, and there is something still
more striking in the general disposition
to use it in some queer, startling or
wholly novel way.

A rival to the Standard Oil Company

A rival to the Standard Oil Company
OF Pennsylvania is said to be growing
up in California, where vast quantities
OF undcveloped petroleum exist. The
waters OF Santa Barbara channel are
covered for miles with crude oil that is
seeping away, and the hollows in the
mountain sides are filling with asphalt
tum, produced by this seepage. A few
capitalists are reported to be buying up
all this oil territory. so as to obtain ~
monopoly OF the production on the Pa
citic Coast, and to their efforts must be
ascribed the lack of full information on
the subject.

The Tax Case.

For several days past the case OF
George Crismon, collector of this
county, against the Bingham Can
yon and Camp Floyd Railroad Com
pany, for delinquent taxes, has been
in progress before Judge Hunter,
Some of these taxes were delinquent
prior to the passage Of the present
tax law, and as regards these, Judge
Hunter ruled, on Tuesday, against
the collector, laying down the same
rulings as those advanced by him in
the case of the collector against j.
G. Sutherland, which was decided
some time ago-a thoroughly anal
ogous case-and in which the judge,
for reasons then published with his
opinion, held that the collector
could not recover the delinquent
taxes. The ruling in the case now
in court was delivered Yesterday.
The present suit is also for the
recovery of some taxes delinquent
since the passage Of the law, and
similar, with some additional objec-
lions, were raised to the introduc-
ton Of the tax books in question,
which objections were argued all
day on Tuesday, and when the court
adjourned the matter was taken
under advisement, pending a deci-
sion on which, the case remains
statu quo. A decision, however, is
looked fer this morning.

School Trustee Elections.
SALT LAKE CITY, May 10, 81.

Editors Herald:
| 1t may appear somewhat prema
Iture to write on this matter thil
Iearly, but it is more for the benefi
of your distant subscribers, who ar,
interested in it, than for that of you
city readers. 1t IS true, the election
does not take place until June 9TH
the first Monday-but ten DAYS no
tice Is required of the meeting. II
is also true, that trustees now in
Office should be- sufficiently posted
on the law in this regard, and ought
TO know what TO do; but some are
forgetful, some are negligent and
some are careless, and gentle re-
minder will not be out of place.
The notice Of the meeting should
be posted either in three conspicu-
Gus public places in the district or
inserted as an advertisement IN a
newspaper having general circula-
ton in the county of which the dis
trict is a part; it must state, dis
tinctly, the hour, the day, the place
and the purpose of the meeting, and
it must be given at least ten days
ahead. When the meeting is held,
the voting should be by ballot, and
none but registered voters will be
allowed to cast their votes for trus-
tees.
The experience of the past in some
districts has shown the necessity Of
IA full turn out Of the registered
voters at these elections. No little
difficulty and discomfort has been
occasioned by the election of these
of the people by small ma
jOritieS, and those who have stayed
away from these important meet
ings have generally been loudest in
denOuncing the action Of those who
and did their best to elect
suitable men. The fault lies with
The people, If men are chosen who
10 not represent the will Of the ma
IOrity; therefore, the majority
should make the choice. If those
who are interested in securing trus-
tees to their liking do not attend the
elections and exert their influence
and poll their vote for them, they
should abide by the result and "for-
sver hold their peace"
Yours, respectfully,

The Creation

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather last night, there was quite
large turnout at the Theatre last
evening to listen to the rendition of
Haydn's oratorio, "The Creation" as
given by the Philharmonic Society.
It is safe to say the manner in
which this great work, which was
presented last evening for the first
time in the west, went off, was a
matter of great surprise, not alone
to those present, but also to the
members themselves. Most OF the
choruses and some of the solos were
finely rendered, and received with
good applause, while there were
some encoreS, Miss White and Mr..
Gorlinski receiving a merited one in
their duet in the third part. The
orchestral part was also, in the main,
given with good effect. Prof. Rad
cliffe must have labored very hard
to get up so difficult production in
such a creditable manner, and
marked praise is to be bestowed on
all sides. 1t is a serious question,
however, whether, under the circum-
stances, it is wisdom, to attempt the
production Of such heavy works.
Good judgment, it seems, would, for
the present, commend lighter selec-
tions as the more fitting to the times
and conditions.

4 Bad Cut.

Immediately attended to by DR.. J.

Nearly a Serious Accident.

On Monday afternoon, alittle boy,
nearly 2 years old, son of the late
Lisbon Lamb, Of Pennington,
while playing with a pocket knife,
fell down, the point of the knife
running into him, infllcting a severe
wound only one-fourth of an inch
above one of his eyes. An older
brother ran to his assistance, but
was so shocked at seeing the blood
flowing from the wound, that he
tainted away.

Grand Opening.

This morning Mrs. Dye, the mil
liner, makes her grand opening Of
millinery goods. at her place. No. 4s.

season, which commences tonight.
The lady has postponed her opening
awaiting the arrival of new goods,
hats, shaded feathers, bonnetS, and
a host of beautiful things which
rush to the minds of ladies upon the
mention of the word millinery and
which for that reason it is unneces-
sary to name. Everything is in the
latest style having just been received
by express. The display was &C
lively being arranged on Tuesday
and to-day, whether permitting or
not, there is likely to be a large
attendance of the fair sex at the
opening to view the new styles and
new goods and to make purchases.
