PROVO ITEMS.

On Saturday morning Provo was visited
by hail storm.
Mr.. Jensen, of Spanish Fork, has
opened jewelry store in Provo.
Provo farmers predict a good harvest
this year, if not visited by worms.
Harry Felt, of Felt Brothers, goes to
Bellevue, Idaho, on Tuesday in the inter-
est of the stationery business.
The Third Ward folks got very plea
SAINT surprise party up on Mr.. H. Felt on
Saturday evening. All present enjoyed
themselves immensely.
Mr.. Frank Rushton some time ago in
vented an improved rifle shell extractor,
and has sold a half interest in the concern
to Mr. Smoot of this place.
Mr. Harlow opened the D. & R. G..
eating house here on Sunday. He makes
this place his headquarters, and has
spared no money in making the house one
of the best on the road.
In Springville on last Friday a quarrel
took place between j. Streaper and the
saloon-keeper, which came very near end
ing seriously. 1t seems Streaper, who
was under the influence of whisky, endea-
vored to ride his horse into the saloon.
The proprietor protested, and in order to
induce him to desist produced a six
shooter With the aid of its presence
and some threats the saloon-keeper got
Streaper to leave, but he returned, armed
with a rife, and had it not been for the
advice of some friends Springville would
to-day be short one citizen.
The people here are dissatisfied with
the pool arrangement between the rail-
roads. The taking off of the morning
train going north causes great inconveni-
ence to persons going from here to the
city. They will now have to remain in
Salt Lake over night before returning.

AN OCULAR ANESTHETIC.
Piunging an Unfelt Knife Into the Ball
of the Eve.

The main lecture hall of the Cooper
Medical College was filled yesterday with
students and practicing physicians, who
we're attracted by the announcement that
DIR. H. Knapp, Professor of Ophthalmol-
ogy of the University Of New York, would
deliver lecture on the eye during the
Barkan hour. DR.. Knapp, who is one OF
the most noted oculists in the United
States, said that when he was asked by
DIR. Barkan to occupy his hour with the
class of the college he did not expect to
have for his auditors so many practlcing
physicians, or he would have prepared
himself differently. His lecture was
listened to with intense interest, and when
the hour was consumed his offer to con-
tinue the discussion of his subject for half
an hour was enthusiastically applauded.
The only demonstration which the lee
turer made was with the hydrate of CO.
caine, as first applied by DIR. Kollb of Vi
emma, for rendering the eye-ball insensl-
BILE. Cocaine is colorless liquid and
produces no effect apparent to the patient
when applied to the ball of the eye. The
purpose of the demonstration made by
the lecturer yesterday upon an eye OF one
of the students was to show that the dila-
ton Of the pupil under the effect of CO.
caine was similar in appearance to that
produced by an excitation OF the, sympa-
thetic nerve. incidentally the lecturer
spoke of the wonderful anesthetic prop
critics of cocaine. Four drops of the color
less fluid applied to the ball of the eye
renders that generally sensitive organ as
insensible to the touch or the knife of the
operator as piece of wood held in the
hand Under its effect the eye may be
handled, cut, or treated in any manner
while the patient in every other particu-
lar is fully conscious and while even the
sight of the eye remains. In recent
operation for patient suffering acute
neuralgia pains in the eye, cocaine was
applied, delicate spear-head knife was
plunged into the eye-ball and withdrawn;
suction-cup was applied over the wound
thus made and some pus withdrawn from
sac in the eye which the knife had
punctured, and all the while the patient,
mentally fully conscious, chatted pleas
antly with the operator, as insensible OF
the operation as though it were being
performed on his hat-band.

ARCHITECTURE.
The Tutor of Salt Lake Architect too
Honest to Hold Office.

The following will interest many of our
fellow-town5men, as Mr.. Bacon is the
gentleman under whom Mr.. John H.
Burton, of our city, studied.
Mr.. N. B. Bacon is a brother-in-law of
the President, and may be supervising
architect of the United States if he so wills,
but Mr.. Bacon cannot afford it. The sal
airy is only s., 800 year, and as Mr.. Bacon
does not know how to steal, being strict
ly honestman from his youth up, he would
make no money out of his position beyond
the salary. AS his profession yields him
a much larger sum he does not want the
place. He mas now in his office plans for
some twenty Grst-class buildings in Tole-
do, and any number from the surrounding
country, and he properly considers it a
piece of folly to throw up such business
for four years salary. Were Mr.. Bacon
of a speculative turn of mind, one of those
men who can deal with contractors, of
course this would be a plum, and he could
hold the place four years and retire with
million or two, but he is not that sort of
man. He would fight for the Govern
ment, and see that work was honestly
done, and at the contract price, and all
that sort of thing, a course of life which
enables him to sleep nights, and will per-
NIT him to lie down on his death bed,
finally, with much composure and conf
dence, and will insure him blissful here
after, but it would add nothing but what
is reasonable to his worldly possessions.
Therefore Mr.. Bacon, laying more stress
upon treasures laid up where moth and
rust do not corrupt, and bankers do not
bust, than upon the transitory things of
this world, will decline official position
and attend strictly to his rapidly-growing
business in Toledo. In this Mr.. Bacon is
wise. Ofice-holding is about the poorest
business man can engage in, and Mr..
Bacon does well to let it severely alone
and devote his talent, of which he has
much, to the dotting OF Toledo with struct-
ures combining elegance with utility, so
that future generations will rise up and call
him blessed.

FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS.
The Judgeship, Marshalship and
GOYernOrship.

Who is to be removed and who ap
pointed to the Federal positions in THU
Territory are questions that not only
agitate oficeholders and officeseekers
but the people as we'll
In all probability the first appointment
made will be to fill the vacancy made by
the resignation of Judge Emerson, of the
First District. F. S. Richards is now in
Washington, and it is alleged by Ogden.
ties that his mission is to urge the claims
of R. X. Williams for the judgeship, but
those who seem to know what they are
talking about incline to the belief that
Judge Hoge has the inside track. Cap
tain Smith seems to have been lost,
somehow, in the shuttle.
The next change made will probably
be in the Marshalship. For this position
Frank Dyer, of Park City, seems to take
the lead and his appointment would meet
with general approval. Col. VIM. M.
Ferry, of Park City, is also candidate.
He does not solicit the appointment, and
if it is given to him it will be a. case of
the Office seeking the man. The Michi-
gan Congressional delegation has recon-
mended him to the administration.
Governor Murray's resignation has been
forwarded to Washington. 1t is said to
be rather a unique document, with the
appearance of having been framed in a
self-sacrifcing spirit, seeking to convey
the impression that while the Governor
would like to remain, he does not desire
to stand in the way of the administra-
ton, and wishes to spare President Cleve-
land the necessity of removing him. II
is said to have been prepared in
newspaper Office of this city.
Of course this resignation was not for
warded with the idea that it would be
accepted, but should President Cleveland
take it into his head to give Utah Dem
ocratic governor, there is rumor for very
wide speculation as to who the guberna-
torial lightning would strike. 1t has been
family rumored, very family, that Col.
Merritt, who is now in Washington, is an
aspirant, but it is the impression of the
Colonel's friends that he is not seeking
the Office and would not accept the ap-
pointment. The probability of Governor
Murray's early removal is so remote that
all speculation as to his successor is rather
premature.

THE PUBLIC SENTIMENT
On Lottery Tickets and Gift Enter.
prises.

The Central LaW Journal of March
Goth, 1885, has the following:
''The Louisiana State Lottery is a deep
disgrace to that State, and the better class
of its citizens so regard it. We have a
law in Missouri making the vending of
lottery tickets misdemeanor, and we
understand that one person is now under
sentence, in Missouri, for vending the
tickets of that same lottery. II these
generals were here, prosecuting their ne
farious business, their great names would
not shield them from the same punish
ment. A portion of the public press de-
tends them and their lottery, because it
derives support from the publication of
their advertisements"
There is a statue in Utah as well as in
Missouri, and will District Attorney Dick
son take notice of it and investigate the
Herald premium affair? Ithas been said
that Mr.. Dickson cares only for the en-
forcement of the anti-polygamy law. It
is to be hoped he cares for the enforce
ment of all laws.

CONFERENCE RATES.
Cheap Fares to Salt Lake During Con-
ference Time.

The much-agitated and important
question as to whether reduced rates
would be given by the rail-
roads from country towns during
conference time has at last been settled,
and country people who have contem-
plated making their regular spring Visit
to the metropolis cannot but feel gratified
by the result. Mr.. Cope, general pas
senger agent of the Utah Central, re-
turned from Denver last evening, and a
conference with the D. & r. G. officials
to-day resulted in an agreement upon
rates. 1t will be seen by the figures be-
low that in many instances less than halt
fare rates are given. The following rates
are for round trip tickets:
POOL POINTS.
Spanish Fork, 50 25; Springville, S225 !;
Provo, 50; American Fork, $1.6O; Leh1,
$3.50; Draper, 80 cents; Sandy, 70 cents;
Ogden, $3.50; Kaysville, So cents; Farm
ington, Is, cents; Woods Cross, 30 cents.
OAR. G.. RATES.
Green River, $3.50; Lower Crossing,
SIS; Price, $3.50; Pleasant Valley, $3.50;
Clear Greek, 1915; Mill Fork, $40;
Thistle, 81.
U. c. RATES.
Frisco, $3.50; Milford, $3.50; Deseret,
Sc; Juab, "a; Nephi, $3.50; Mona, So;
Santaquin and Payson, $3.50.
These tickets will be good in coming to
Salt Lake between April LIST and 9TH, and
good in returning until the 18th, thus
giving visitors nearly two weeks in the
city.
1t is anticipated that the country peo-
pie generally will take advantage OF these
liberal rates and if Salt Lake can't have
a conference it can have a conference
crowd
The U. P. and U. G. officials were
busily engaged this afternoon in prepar-
ing schedule of rates to Logan, but it
was not completed in time for to-day's
issue.

A COMMUNICATION
From the Treasurer of the United states
Relative TO the Alleged Refusal of
Banking Associations to Receive
silver Dollars and Certificates.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.

WASHINGTON, req, lu.
The secretary of the treasury today pre-.
sented 10 the House a communication from
the treasurer of the United States, relative
to the alleged refusal of certain banks and
banking associations to receive silver dollars
and certificates in the settlement of the bal
snces. The treasurer says:
1T is not known TO this office that the
clearing house association at New York or
any national bank thereof has, since the pas
sage of the act of July, 1882, refused to re
ceive silver dollars or silver certificates in
the settlement OF their balances, or has AZ
ano time refused 10 receive silver dollars or
silver certificates from the government in
payment of balances due from the govern
ment TO said associations The treasurer in
January, 1879, became member of the New
York clearing house"
To the second portion of the resolution, as
to wha: amount of gold came into the treas
ury in exchange at par for silver dollars and
silver certificates during the month of Jan
uary, 1855, the treasurer says
There was deposited with the assistant
treasurer at New York during January, 1888,
S575, 900 in gold for which drafts, payable in
silver certificates by the assistant treasurer
at New Orleans, were issued by the treasurer.
There WAS also received during the same
month Sf-,ooO IN uraits on New otk, "Hlch
were collected through the clearing house,
in exchange for which silver dollars were
forwarded by the treasury from the mints.
These drafts, while not payable in gold, be
came equivalent to gold receipts by reducing
balances against the treasury at the New
York clearing house exchange was made al
par. Ii is not known that any other amounts
of gold came into the treasury in ex-
change for silver dollars or silver GER
tificates."
The treasurer says that during the -
months beginning Jan, 1881, S650, 900 in sill
yer and Sl92 ,654 600 IN silver certificates
have been in Tor custome duties.
