,IINOK

Emmet drew a big audience in Sal
Lake Thursday night.
Marks & Myers are talking of som
changes in their block, involving q new
front, etc.
Indications are excellent for a hne
reception for Fritz to night at the
opera house.
Transfer outfits were busily engaged
Yesterday in scattering the pipes for the
waterworks along the line of the vari-
u streets.
1t looks very much as though Wyo.
ming would have to go begging for
some ambitious young man 10 represent
her at West Point.
The overland emigrant travel is very
heavy and e~migrants may be found en-
camped or the creek bottoms near West
Sixteenth, in large numbers.
California fruit for the eastern mar
ket is Il matter of daily shipment
through this city, averaging about two
airs to each east bound express
train.
There were eight Celestial pigtails
waiting about the depot yesterday for
the Denver bound train, whittier, it
seems, a great majority OF the Chinese
must go.
l.. Herman x Bros. are contemplating
some extensive repairs and additions to
their store on Eddy street this season
which will result in another story and
u new front.
Eddy street isn't wholly left out in
the enumeration of fine dooryards.
There are several, among which that of
Herman Haas is prominent for an
abundant growth of grass and numer-
ous trees.
There will DO a meeting of the official
board of the NJ. E. church In the par
sonage this eve at s O'Clock sharp. All
members are earnestly requested to be
present as business of Importance is to
be attended to.
Capt. Payne, of Oklahoma notoriety,
reports that he will start for the Indian
territory July 90, with the largest band
of colonists that has yet gone into the
territory. BE says he does not think
Secretary Teller will interfere with
this movement.
The number OF farms in Wyoming
territory in 1880 is given by a bulletin
OF the census bureau as 457; 1870, 175.
Number w 100 acres and under 500,
29S; over 800 and under 1000, 80; over
100, IA. There is no mention in the
bulletin of ranches.
There is no portion of the city which
has improved so much in character
during the past two years as that part
west of Eddy street, commonly called
Chicago. If the improvements con-
tinue, as everything seems to indicate,
the name will become obsolete.
Elsewhere appears the statement of
the condition of the First National
bank on the LIST inst, a statement
which will bear close inspection. The
First National is one of the old institu-
tions OF the city and complimentary
notices would be unnecessary beside
the facts and figures of the statement
referred to.
There is not a vacant store room in
the city, desirable or otherwise, and
this fact has deferred the building of
two or three new blocks this season.
There would be no place in which to
carry on business while the old stand
might be replaced. BENZ. Hellman was
looking yesterday for some passable
place where he might temporarily move
that the workmen might build an en-
tirely new block on the site of his pre-
sent store. The same thing prevented
building q new block on the corner
occupied by II. & NJ. d. Altman.
A young man named M. Stevenson,
who has been working al the Union
Pacific transfer for the past two years,
has been arrested In Omaha on the
charge Of using the United States mails
for fraudulent purposes. His plan Is
simply to sell to g%reenhorns a so-called
detectives commission, which is not
worth the paper that it is printed on.
He claimed to be superintendent of an
institution known as the American
and Europeansecret ServiceC Company"
These ''secret service" frauds have
been operating extensively for some
time through the mails, and the gov
eminent has been anxious to catch on
to n or more of them, but never be-
fore has been able to get evidence suf-
ncient to warrant an arrest.
