Concert Postpsned.


The concert, of which mention was
made last week, to be given at the
Disciples Church on Friday evenir &,
will be postponed until Thursday eve-
ming, Dec. 18th.
A finer selection of music will rarely
be heard than is found on the program.
In addition to the features mentioned
last week, Prof w. Heslop, of Kent,
will furnish some choice instrumental
music, assisted by his little nephew
aged 9.
The following appreciative notice OF
Miss Flint h, the vocalist of the eve
ming, is furnished by the SanJose Re.
publican.
The concert given at the Baptist
Tabernacle last evening was indeed q
musical treat seldom, If ever, equaled
in San Jose. The attendance was un-
usually good, for this city, and the au-
dience appreciative, The appearance
of Miss Finch, of San Francisco, was
greeted with burst of applause which
showed that her singing was to be
highly appreciated by those who were
SO fortunate as to have heard her be-
lore. Neither were they disappointed
for Miss Finch never appeared in bet.
ter voice, and the audience fully ap.
preciated her singing, by recalling
her by frequent encOres, to which she
responded, and sang, by request, THE

Surprise Party.

On Wednesday eve., Dec. End, the
schoolmaster and friends of BERTHE
Cooley, to the number of about forty
six, gathered at the residence of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. o. r. Cooley,
to spend the evening, it being his 18th
birthday, bringing with them quite a
number of useful and ornaments
presents, which were presented by
Miss May Brode in q short but very
appropriate manner, to which Beltie
replied, heartily thanking the donors.
The evening was passed very pleasant
ly, singing and playing. The guests
remained till 1t was no longer the End,
and departed, hoping to meet again at
no distant time. ONE OF THEM.

In a few days Mestayers "We, Us
& Co." will give one performance in
this city. This is the first appearance
of this farcical comedy which has
been the most popular of all its kind,
produced in America for the past 8 or
years. Wherever it has been the
theaters have been packed to the doors.
This piece is o satire of the broadest
kind abounding in situations which
keep the audience in a state of contin-
uous laughter from the rise to the fall
of the curtain. Besides this there is
an abundance of music selected from
the latest operas. According to the
papers where the piece has been pro-
duced the company is q remarkably
strong one both in voices and in COM
edians. One of the principal parts is
that of doctor from Wisconsin. He
is a satire on the fraternity. Another
character is satire on athletes, and
still another who is for the follies of
the day on dress and fashion.

VanNess started out with the inten-
ton of selling the best goods in the
market, and he has sold them so far.
Just so sure as truth crushed to earth
will rise again. just SO sure will good
goods win in the end. He has lately
added new brand of -four to his list,
and when we say it is the best, the
incest and the whitest in the market,
we mean what we say. For proof of
its quality, we tried a sack, and we
pronounced it decidedly the best we
have ever used. VanNess has the ex-
elusive sale of this flour in Ravenna,
and our advice to all is, if you want
good bread, you must get your flour
of him. 1t is the same flour that Mrs.
Lees bread lie made from, and no bet
ter bread was ever made than this. If
you have any doubts about the flour
making good bread, go to VanNess' i,
get loaf of bread and try it. and you
will have to own up that it is better
than your mother used to bake.

Dragged by a Runaway Team.

This morning man by the name of
Jason, living somewhere near West Jor-
dan, came to this city after load of two
inch lumber which he had piled on lot
on First East street for some time. He
loaded it into his wagon, and in company
with his 9-year-old son started for his
farm. The lumber was considerably
longer than the wagon box, and when the
horses were travelling it took the COM
bined weight of man and boy to keep the
wagon box from tipping up in front. While
travelling down lane running west from
the State Road they came to
chuck hole made by the overflow
from an irrigation ditch, and in crossing
it the lumber slipped back a little and
overbalanced the wagon, suddenly throw
ing the man and boy out upon the
ground. The boy struck upon his head
and badly scratched and bruised his face.
The man held to one of the lines as he
fell, and the team being spirited one
started off on the run. The man was
dragged for short distance, and the
team was finally brought to a halt against
q fence on one side of the lane by the one
line which he held. When our informant
saw them last the wagon had been re-
loaded and the farmer and his son were
driving towards home.

OFF FOR COLORADO.
Departure of the Salt Lake knights
of the Diamond for the Cen.
tenniuI state.

The Salt Lake Base Ball club of ten
members, under the management OF Mr..
John D. Spencer, took the 10; so Denver
express this morning. A great many
friends OF the boys were at the ID. d K.
G. depot to see them off, with the best
of wishes for success extended them, in
hopes that they will return with the
honors of the diamond theirs. Barker
declined to accompany them unless he
was advanced $50 on the start to justify
him in leaving his work. The boys eX-
pressed themselves as greatly disaPpolnt-
ed in not having Barker along with them,
as he is rightly acknowled to be one OF
the strongest players in Utah, and is
well acquainted in Colorado from having
played with clubs there in years past.
The team comprises ten members IN
the following positions: West, p;
Ridges, c.; W. Golding, C. f.; Larsen,
1st b. Hall, I'd b.; Bess, Sd b.; Peck,
|. f. +. Margetts, r. f.; g. Golding, s. 81;
Bennett, alternate; j. d. Spencer,
manager, and Mr.. H. G. Whitney of the
Herald.
This is certainly very good represent
ative club of Salt Lake City, and they
will undoubtedly make good showing
on the tour. They play the first match
game in Leadville, which has an altitude
about one mile higher than that OF Salt
Lake, which may interfere somewhat
with their score, ''all owing to the air, I"
and cause the Denver club to feel
over-sanguine of meeting soft snap, in
the shape of a Mormon base ball club.
Their second game will be at Denver,
where the privilege of taking a percent
age of net gate receipts is left to their
disposal. At Pueblo they will meet an
old and well organized club that will call
forth all the brilliant playing possible on
the part of the Red Boys to make win
ming. Mr.. Spencer contemplates return
ing by the Union Pacific and playing at
Cheyenne and possibly at Laramie.

visible means of support, will come up

The a" Subscription" Nuisance.

The Subscription" fends who have
infested the city for the past few days
have become perfect nuisance to bust
ness men. There is hardly day passes
without some of them showing a paper
into the faces of the well-dressed men
they encounter, with long tale of ills
and woes innumerable. We believe in
extending aid to the deserving poor, but
when it comes to placing money in the
hands of able-bodied men, who may beg
it for the purpose of obtaining drink, we
decidedly object. As near as we can
learn, there are relief societies established
by the different churches of the city,
where the deserving poor may make
known their wants and have their neces-
sites relieved. These papers, in which
Mr.. So-and-so begs all the friends of hui
mainly to aid him in getting enough
money together to go to his family in Ko-
komo or Jerusalem, as he is a poor man
that cannot get work, and the distance is
too far to walk, and that God blesses the
cheerful giver, ETC., etc, is getting little
bit too much of good thing. Our ad-
vice is to help the poor, where they have
the misfortune to be crippled, but these
hungry-eyed Subscription" tramps we
have no use for.

THIEVES AT THEIR WORK.
The Nevada saloon Entered and
Robbed Last Night.

Some time last night after ii o'clock
one or more of the picayune thieves in
testing our city robbed the Nevada
saloon of Robert Benner & Company,
Nos. % and % east Second South street,
of fourteen hundred cigars and SIG in
five and ten-cent pieces which were left
in two cigar boxes on the shelf back of
the bar. On examination of the prem
Uses this morning it was discovered that
the thieves made an entrance
through a rear window to the
saloon, unbolting tight board
blind and raising the window
without any difficulty. Further inspec-
ton about the place disclosed nothing
more missing than before mentioned, and
on prying about the yard for clue to the
escaping robbers, the cigars were found
tied up in two emmy sacks which lay in
the corner of the yard. 1t is presumed
that the robbers became frightened and
dropped the goods in order to make good
their escape. Several cases of small rob-
berries have been reported lately, and a
close eye will be kept by the police on all
suspicious characters, who are better out
of Salt Lake than here.
