The official announcement of the appoint
meat of p. p. Shelby rs assistant traffic
manager of the Union Pacific, with head
quarters in Salt Lake, was made yesterday.
There are now twenty three cases of diph-
liberia in the city, and the yellow signals are
daily increasing But that is not all. What
is the city going to do in the way of pro-
viding the necessary means to check the
alarming scourge?
The children's party given in the Salt
Lake Theatre yesterday afternoon and pro-
longed into the evening was merry treat to
some 700 little ones, and quite number of
big children who could not resist the fasci-
nations of the joyous dance.
Mr.. w. A.. Burke, accompanied by Mr..
White, his late successor to the Office of rail-
road pool commissioner at this city. went to
Ogden this morning, where Mr.. White will
be shown few points connected with the
business of the principal station.
Mr.. Farley Williams stated to Judge Zane
this morning that he had received an appli-
cation from Frederick Hop., now in the pen
itentiary under sentence of death, asking

The long-established and ever-popular
Home Dramatic Club of this city comprises
much of the best local ability known to Salt
Lake, and the simple announcement that
they present Confusion Friday matinee
and Friday and Saturday nights of this week
is sufficient to secure large patronage.
Seats will be on sale tomorrow.
The cranky critic on the Salt Lake Herald
receives another reminder that his musical
education is not as perfect as he imagines,
the structures this time coming through the
columns of his own sheet over the signatures
of b. b. and Madame Young. After all,
there is not much Importance in the differ
ence between A natural and A flat to an
individual SO regardless of "trifing facts
as is the Herald reporter.
>, "Iolanthe" was presented for the first
time by the Salt Lake Opera Company in
the Theatre this afternoon. The large audi
ence were highly pleased and the manage
ment of "Iolanthe" made proud. Every
thing moved with spirit, and Prof. II. s.
krouse is to be complimented upon his sue
cess. Seats for tonight and tomorrow night
are selling rapidly.
The City Council last evening appropr-
ated $l50 for the reimbursement of S. A.
Kenner for services rendered. These ''ser-
vices" were doubtless the work performed
in the recent ST. and L. cases; but how
about the salaries of Mr.. Richards and Mr..
Moyle? 1t would have been perhaps too
heavy. a showing had all these salaries APP
peared under one appropriation. BY the way,
1t may happen that Mr.. Richards will have
the modesty not to apply for his stipend, in
asmuch as he has been absent on church and
personal business. Verify, it comes hard on
the taxpayers of Salt Lake to carry on the
arduous and responsible labors of prosecut-
ing the city's cases.
