Can anybody tell us why a woman,
emerging from a crowded car, always
makes believe she is going to get out at
one side of the platform, until two or
three men have jumped off in the mud,
and then steps off at the other side? She
always does it; and we want to know
the reason why.

A missionary orator stood on Sydney
platform. Before him was large audi
ence, which included many dainty man
nered ladies'. He had to describe the
customs" of certain savages, and of
course, everybody wanted to know how
the darkies dressed. And this is how he
put it. They had, he said, only a single
article of attire, and that was fig-leaf,
which was still on its native tree a
quarter of mile off. Having thus ad.
roitly disposed of his difficulty he passed
on to more congenial topics.

AN UTAH ELOPEMENT.

Miss Leonora JiggsrsOn, of st. George,
belongs to q rather extensive family, In
asmuch she has one father, four mothers,
nine brothers and twenty-three sisters.
The family is said to be one of the
wealthiest in St. George. Bishop Jigger-
son is one of the pillars of the Church of
Latter-day Saints, and the buxom Leonora,
although but seventeen years of age, has
for the past two years been the belle OF
of the place; in fact, by her marvellous
beauty and fascinating ways our heroine
has from time to time brought scores of
Mormon lovers to her feet. That the
course of true love, don't at all times
run smoothly" was proved conclusively
by Leonora's Tilted SWANS, couple of
whom shot themselves soon after being
discarded The worthy Bishop was sorely
troubled in regard to the matrimonial
characteristics of his favorite daughter,
for it was a long cherished plan of his to
marry her off young and in the ''church"
ere some un-G Cody Gentle should feast his
basilisk eyes on her charms and bear her
off into the land of the wolf He there
fore brought her new lover, staunch
Mormon boy, who played on the Mormon
national instrument 1.-THE accordeon) and
gave her to understand that she must
| marry him within six months. This Leo
nora agreed to do, and for awhile seemed
charmed with her new lover, until one
day Gentle went down to st. George
| f,on. Gle, Da.f -, caoroh IF ,anvaotiOp
and our heroine forgot her solumn promise
and fell desperately in love with the new
conner In vain Bishop Jiggerson tore his
hair and raved, in vain the Mormon lover
threatened to shoot. Leonora and the Gen
tile made good progress in their love
affairs, and although the girl was closely
successfully executed. At 9 o'clock last
Tuesday morning, with her jewel-cast
watched an elopement was planned ant
under her arm, she scaled the facade sur
rounding the Bishops harem, and in com
pany with her lover, who met her at thu
bottom of the facade, with two flee
horses, departed for Silver Reef. Al
alarm was sounded and Bishop Jiggerson
along with the discarded affianced and
dozen armed and mounted men, starte'
in hot pursuit after the runaways. Th
clatter OF hoofs now far ahead, and grow
ing fainter, warned the lover that he wa
about to lose his promised one forever
Three hours hard riding brought tn
lovers to Silver Reef just ahead of thei
pursuers, where, despite the Bishop
threats Of vengeance, they were marie
, by Judge Louder. After the ceremon
was performed the blushing Leonora an
her husband, Abner P, repaired to the
castle in the hollow and pulled down tn
blind. We felt positive, when Alb. d.
parted for the Reef, that if he only live
in Utah long enough, he would be able
, obtain better half.

WILL NOT BE BUILT.-The Reflex of
Ward has had a correct idea of the Eu-
reka and Colorado River Railroad scheme
from its first conception. We quote:
est now begins to dawn upon the people
of this county that the proposed Eureka
and Colorado River Railroad will not be
built. The road from Stockton, Utah, to
Eureka, will answer all the purposes OF
the projectors Of the Eureka and Colorado
River Railroad, as it will cross White
Pine county fully as far south as there
was ever any intention of extending the
Eureka and Colorado River Railroad. The
high sounding name, it was thought,
would catch eastern capital enough to
build the road the desired distance in
this county, and after that, those who
did the putting up could extend it if
they thought it advisable. The road
from Stockton takes this big job off Of
their hands, and so the road from Eureka
to the Colorado that was to have been
built won't be built. If any one enter
tanned the idea that the road would be
extended to the Colorado River they
were egregiously mistaken"

Hibben-KIzer.

An event of more than ordinary social
interest took place this morning at the
residence Of j. @. Kizer, on Elm creek,
the occasion being the marriage OF his
eldest daughter, May, to Mr.. Harry
Hlbben, of this city. The ceremony
was performed in the presence
of "a number. of guests by
Rev. Mr.. Curtis, Of Usage City. We are
not in possession of the details of the
happy event, but the loneliness of the
bride upon such an suspicious occasion
can well be imagined aud those who
have ever been so happy as to partake of
the hospitality for which the Kizer man
sion has becon,s so famous can readily
fancy what good cheer furnished forth
the marriage feast.
The bride and groom are both special
ly popular in Emporia and now that
they have united their fortunes. the in,
terest which has always been felt in
both by their many friends will only be
augmented. Harry, as is well known,
has enjoyed the confidence of the public
to the extent of having filed with en-,
tire aeceptability one of the most re-
sponsible official trusts IN the county
and gauging his future by his past, has
before him career Of much more than
ordinary promise. His charming bride
is esteemed and beloved by all who have
the privilege of knowing her, and hel
sterling qualities will make hel
Ghelp-meet in fact as well in name fol
her ambitious young husband.
The newly-wedded pair left on Tho
noon train for the east, and after spend
ing some days in St. Louis will return
to EmPoriA where they viii make theil

To the CITY CoGnci1:
Complaint having been made to this
board that the Epstein hide house, at
No. 1876 Commercial streets q nuisance,
and injurious to the public health, this
board has examined the said premises,
and finds it necessary for the public
health that the storing and curing of
raw hides be prohibited on Commercial
slreet between Third and Seventh ave
nues; and alter consultation with the
city attorney We find that We have not 3
clear legal right 70 prohibit such bust
ness, and therefore recommend that
your honorable body pass an ordinance
prohibiting such business within said
limits and making the location and car
rying on Of such business in any other
part of the city subject to the approval
of this board.
We make this recommendation be-
cause we believe that the only practic-
able and effectual way to abate the nuis-
snce is TO prevent the business from be-

people who may be annoyed and injured
by It. Respectfully submitted

asking for the passage Of an ordinance
granting the franchise to the Emporia
Street Railway Company to build a

nance provides that the franchise shall
cover period of twenty-one years; that
the company making the improvement
shall have the exclusive right TO the

and the company. the latter would obi.
gate itself to build and have in running

construct other lines as fast as the needs
of the. city would demand

every point, and as we have before stat

of street cars desire 1" stimulate dc

While il may be claimed that there il
no imme late demand for such an i'm

the other hand that if gentle
men with ample means TO pust
the project to Il successful termination
are willing to come into our midst anC
make an investment which will increas,

there should be no objections interposet
on the part of the citizens.
The ordinance was referred TO thu
proper committee, and report will b.
made in the matter at the next meetin.
of the council. This will afford abund

its bearings and tn ascertain, in til,
