of them, and you, my brothers, will JON me

and assistance she has rendered the library"
And again Mr.. Diehl said in his last
report, 1885:
"We continue to be under obligations to
Miss Hill The popularity of the Library is
largely due to her exertions to make it
public resort of learning. Her knowledge
of every branch of literature and her famil-
iarity with our books makes her the guardian
of the reading public that seeks her advice
and receives it from her cheerfully. AS
teacher, she is deserving of the thanks of the
reading public, and as the librarian, of our
gratitude. | hope she will continue in the
good work for many years to come"
Miss Hill goes to Mount Vernon, Ohio,
to visit friends and relatives, and then to
pursue some special studies. All who are
acquainted with her and the Library with
which she was so long identified will wish
her happy and prosperous time, and
that she may find as many new friends
as she leaves old ones.

News comes from Washington that
Senator Vance, OF North Carolina, and
ex-senator Herman, of New York, have
been retained by the Mormons as counsel
in place of Emery A. Storrs, recently de-
ceased. 1t is said they will appear be-
fore Judge Powers in November, in the
case OF Charles +. Middleton. Ii such is
the case, we are glad, rs Vance and
Herman are both good lawyers and good
Democrats. Whether such is the case,
we were unable to learn, but we made
inquiries among those who should know,
namely, the local attorneys who are en-
gagged in defending the polygamists now
on trial, and the gentleman who is the
leader of these attorneys informed us he
could not say as to whether Vance and
Herman had been retained, but he was
informed on good authority that Cleve-
land intented to resign as President to
come out and defend those who were in
dicted for polygamy and unlawful cohabi-
tation. This actfully explains the Ne,cS'
editorial OF last night on "The Star in the
East" If those who are indicted for
polygamy and unlawful cohabitation can
get Cleveland on their side, they ought to
win, for already, according to the Ne,rs,
they have the Lord on their side, and the
Lord and one good man are large
majority.

THE MASONIC LIBRARY AND MISS
IDA T.. HILL.

The friends and patrons OF the Masonic
Library, and they are many, will learn
with regret that Miss Ida Il. Hill, the
librarian, is about to quit her post and
depart from our city. 1t is just five
years ago to-day that Miss Hill entered
upon her duties as librarian of the Ma
sonic Library. During this time the
library has grown in popularity and use
fulness, and with this popularity and use
fulness none have been more init
mately associated than Miss Hill.
Her duty was her pleasure, and the gra-
cious manner in which she complied with
are all requests OF visitors and patrons
made each OF them think that special
favor had been bestowed. 1t will be of
interest to the public to know OF the
growth of the Library during the time
that Miss Hill has been in immediate
charge. When she went there, October
!, 1880, the books in the Library num-
bered 3,7S3, while to-day the number OF
books is 7,Gl0. During the first year
Miss Hill was in the Library, she gave
out $500 volumes, while during the last
year she gave ont l6,OlS, and during the
five years 63,327 books, which shows
the great popularity OF the Library, and
the satisfaction OF the public with the
manner in which Miss Hill has pre-
sided. During these five years only
eight books have been lost, which
speaks well for the character
OF those who have patronized the Library.
With all the books and their contents
Miss Hill was familiar, and none knew so
well rs she the resources OF the Library
upon any subject. II book was not in
the Library, she always wrote the title
down and ordered the book 80 that all
might be accommodated. In her atten-
ton to young boys and girls she was very
particular, and she always exercised the
care and solictude OF friend to see that
they did not obtain books which were
not proper for their young and plastic
minds, fully realizing that the influence
OF literature upon the mind OF youth is
an influence which lasts for life. The
Grand Lodge OF Masons fully appreciated
the services OF Miss Hill, and at each
meeting of the Grand Lodge, Mr. Diehl,
the Grand Librarian, reported her
good work and spoke iavorably and in
praise OF it. In one of his reports Mr..
Diehl said;
81 am not able To express in words the
thanks we owe TO Miss Hill for the care and
attention she gives the Library. do not be-
lleye that more painstaling librarian can
be found anywhere, and / do not hesitate To
say that the largest share of our success is
due to her efficiency. Visitors coming to
the Library to consult books, no matter ON
what subject, found in her a ready adviser,
ana none left the room without having
gained the desired information Besides,
she does all her work SO kindly and at
the same time SO thoroughly, that she has
won for herself the love ana esteem of every

THE CHINESE MUST GO!

During Sunday groups of Celestials
could be seen in their resorts, and late in
the evening many of them began prepara-
tions to leave the city. Monday six or
seven OF them carried their bundles to
the depot and started east on the 10 :35
train.
1t is not known who issued the order.
1t is positively asserted that the Knights
of Labor as an organization had nothing
to do with it. Whatever it may have
come from, it is being obeyed, and the
Chinese are going. For the credit Of
Cheyenne it is hoped that they may be
allowed to 60 quietly.

that gittin' in the hay. My little Janey
eleven years old next May, usually drives
the rake for us. but she amt ben feelin'
overly peart this summer an 1 kinder kept
her out of the sun. So Miss Ella gifts her
self boosted up on the hoss rake-my boy
Joe he boosted her-an' then she screamed
an fell off. Then she got on agin, hit
the boss a crack an away she went OIL the
dead jump out O the field into the road,
boss a goin', dust a flynn an Miss Ella
screechin'. Some Of tho men headed her
off an stopped the boss. Then she tried
it agin. This time she struck right straight
through the standin' grass where it was
tallest an thickest and tangledest; boss a
balkin' and tuggin' away by turns, grass
holdin' OH or comm up by the roots, rake
teeth a slappin'. We got her out of that,
and lost a whole day OH the rake, gettin' it
mended.
Then she tried drivin' a load into the big
barn. Had to send to the house for a lad
der, an then all the men had to 80 clear
out of the field while she climbed up on the
load. Drivin' in she got the wagon caught
in a hedge gap as wide as the Missouri
River, run over two stand of bees, upset the
load and buried herself under three hun
dred pounds Of hay. 1t was the safest
place for her under the excitin' circum-
stances; SO we jest left her Their ontil the
bees got CANNED down an we got some

then turned all of the men out of the barn
while she climbed up into the NOW, an
then she wandered around ontil she stepped
into a chute and shot down about twenty
eight feet into the COW barn an lit right OIL
the back of a JERSEY calf that was worth
$3.50 of any mans money an hour before.

damned up that she lay in bed two days,
an but for that providence we'd hev ben
workin' at that hay yet. An anybody that
wants a broken back calf can lave II at

Well, come wheat harvest, she must drive

risky, but she had her WI way. But she
couldn't be trusted up above the knives, so
somebody had to set up Their, an hold her
on. My boy Joe, he held her OIL told
Joe she was q maxim a fool OF him-an II

to go out after berries, and when she went
through the COW pasture the cows thought
