FOR SANTA CLAUS.

dreamed-'twas such a funny dreami- That all the girls and boys, Who have been getting skates and sleds, And dolls and books and toys, In stockings, and on Christmas trees, On every Christmas Day, Had held meetng-eyery one,
 From near and far away. The talk had been of Santa Claus of how his gay reindeers Have trotted up and down the world For years and years and years. And how the dear old jolly soul,
 Before the rising sun, Has filled the stockings, great and small, And not forgotten one. And now they thought that turn about Would he no more than fair, And Sanla Claus himself should have For once liberal share. They'd have a glorious tree, and fill \ stocking to thA brim, With wonders brought from every land, And all should he for him. Alb, if you could have seen that tree, So green and bro and high. All hung with presents rich and rare! It almost touched the sky. And such stockingt Long enough To reach a mile or so, And crammed with goodies from the top Down to the very toei And then heard the Christmas bells Ring ont so clear and loud, That all the children in the world Came marching in crowd, To wish to good old Santa Claus A merry Christmas Day, And see what he would think of it, And hear what be would say. But what he thought and what he said l never now can tell, For all the ringing had heard
 Was-just-the breakfast bell! There was a stocking hanging up, There was Christmas tree, But, somehow, was rather glad That they were both for me-.

A half-breed Indian Tn the Dead River region in Maine has domesticated a huge moose, and uses him in farm work.

The haf-breed turns his big steed into an inclosure with a fence of or dinary height Once in awhile the moose jumps out and goes on an excur- sion, but, as he never fails to return, this privilege is not begrudged him.

FIVE UNLAWFUL COHABS.
Taylor, Ball, Due, MOyle and Poul-
son Receive the Usual
Sentence. -

Judge Zane disposed of the biggest
batch of cases for sentence this morning
that has ever been arraigned before the
court in any one previous day. There
were six cases of unlawful cohabitation
and one or two Territorial cases set for
sentence, and they were arraigned and
sentenced in little more than five min
utes' time. The courtroom was crowded
with spectators and there was nothing in
the nature of a sensation to appease their
curiosity; not even single harangue by
any one of those sentenced. The follow
ing parties were arraigned and sentenced
in turn, and neither one of them gave the
Judge the opportunity for administering
cold bath, such as Thomas Jones got on
Saturday. In each case the sentence of
the Court was six months imprisonment,
$500 fine and costs: ers
George III. Taylor, of Taylor, Romney
& Armstrong; Thomas F. Ball, of the
ward; O. F. Due, the florist;
James Moyle, superintendent of the stone
cutting at the Temple Block, and Jas. O.
Poulson.
Without an exception the parties MAIN
tanned cheerful expression and demea-
nor during the hours of waiting in the
Marshal's Office, and when they turned
their faces toward the penitentiary there
was no murmur heard.

Liberated Now on Bail.

Orson II. Petit, ex-City Councillor, and
J. d. H. McAllister, County Surveyor,
appeared at the Office of Commissioner
Critchelow this morning and requested
to be allowed to furnish bonds for Angus.
Jr., and Frank j. Cannon. The gentle,
men were examined as to their qualifica-
tons and accepted, and the release of the
prisoners ordered. The boys were brought
in from the Pen about O'Clock this
afternoon, and after being detained in the
Marshal's office short time, were set at
liberty. AS they passed out of the court
building, Frank ]. was taken into GUS
tody by Policemen Salmon and Hilton.
and conducted over to the City Hall.
Here Judge PIPER arraigned the young
man and dismissed the case against him
upon which he had been bailed out, and
from which bonds, too, he had been re-
leased. A member of the Cannon family
stated that he thought the bows had suf
tered enough at present for their folly, in
asmuch as they would be required, per
haps, to serve the sentence of the court
When their trial shall come up.

Silver Reefs Teaching Works.

The Silver Reef correspondent of the
Southern Utah Times says: A force of
men was put on at the new teaching
works this week, and the concern put in
full operation. A number OF alterations
and Improvements have been made
since the plant was put in place, and
every part of it now operates perfectly.
Several tons of mill tailings were run
through last week as an experiment, giving
results that were highly satisfactory to
the managers. The rolls and rock breaker
are being placed in position, and when
completed the company will be ready to
crush custom ores. Meantime they will
work mill tailings, having between
$4,000 and 10000 tons on hand. The
success of the process in reducing our
iow-grade ores, is beyond doubt, and if
the management will but act fairly with
the chloriders, it will be big thing for
themselves and the camp.

ISLANDERS ON EDWIN BOOTH.
He Was Not Drunk as HagO, But
suffered from an Attack
of Vertigo.

CHICAGO, February 28.-The Tribune's New
York special: A calumny against Edwin
Booth has been refuted. He closed months
season in this city tonight. His acting has
been as good as ever in round of his famll-
lar characters, with the notable exceptions
of one weeks performance of "Hamlet," and
ONE UTTER FAILURE AS IAGo,
Usually among the best of his impersona-
tions. The time of the latter occurrence
was Saturday night, when the theatre was
damned, as during most of the engagement.
Booth was hesitant from the start, and
acted unsteadily. In the act wherein lago
instills jealous suspicion into the mind OF
Othello, and where Booths acting is COM
monty exquisite, he seemed to lose himself
completely, and little later, while stand
ing close to the footlights, he fell forward

the tragedian was drunk. AS much was in
simulated in a published criticism, and stories
of his intoxication became current. "A COM
plete denial of the rumors is made for
Booth, and the cause of his singular inabil-
ity is explained. His daughter, Edwina, has
been seriously ill, and he was so deeply con-
cerned that with difficulty he was restrained
from closing the season here and going to
her. Besides that
HE SUFFERS TERRIBLY FROM DYSPEPSIA,
And during a whole month was unable to at

Convict John Smith-Gone.

Marshal Ireland has offered a reward
OF $3.50 for the recovery, dead or alive, of
John Smith, the convict who for a con-
siderable time has been in the Asylum
instead of the penitentiary. Smith was
suspected of having feigned his insanity
for an apparent purpose, and was last
week taken before Judge Powers and re-
ceived sentence of nine years. Deputies
Vandercook and Greenman brought the
prisoner down Saturday evening and de-
posted him in the penitentiary wagon,
handcuffed. When about half mile
west of the Pen, and while the wagon
was passing through the creek there,
Smith, who was sitting on the back seat,
slipped off and vanished in the darkness.
Pursuit was impracticable owing to the
darkness, and the fellow made good his
escape. This daring act is in keeping
with the convict's past record, particu-
larly in respect to his reckless boarding of
the Utah & Northern train in 1883, when
alone and unaided he went through the
cars, terrorizing the passengers and taking
their valuables at will.
Yesterday morning Deputies Cudihee,
Franks, Smith, Parker and Doyle set out
on horseback in search of the missing
desperate. They succeeded in finding
his tracks, which they easily followed
along the canal bank, owing to the sug-
gestive imprint of the penitentiary shoes.
The trail was followed up near the old
asylum and thence in the direction of |
Emigration canyon, but a ten-mile ride |
up the canyon resulted in a failure, and |
the party returned in the belief that
Smith, on finding so much snow in the
vicinity OF the canyon had retraced his
steps to town. The search party encoun-
tered dlsagreeable storm during their
ride, and the skirmish was as unpleasant
as it was unsuccessful.
