The Young Mems Mutual Improve
prOYement AssOClat on met and reor-
ganzed Wednesday evening, with &. I.
Woolley as president and IL. H. Thomas
and B. II. Goddard as cOunseIlers. The
meeting was quite interesting.
WHAT pity Ogden cannot have some
good pleasure grounds fenced so that
game of ball could be made something
besides an expense to the players. We
have the material for some good ball
players, and if there Was a chance for
them to clear expenses, they would be
hard to beat.
ALL is not smooth in relation to the
recent competitive examination for the
First District reportarShip, and the
kicks of some of the contestants may
yet be heard. 1t is said that the true
inwardness of the affair will make very
interesting reading for some one.
THERE is likely to be considerable
kicking about the proposed change in
the county road for the accommodation
of the railroad company in the matter
of building the new depot. People,
however, may as we'll hold their wind
for the present, for there Is no likelihood
of any immediate change being made.
A LITTLR girl 81 years of age, a
daughter of Almond Johnson, OF Span
ish Fork, was lost here yesterday after
noon. In company with her mother,
and some other little ones, she was
walking along the street, when the chill
dren stepped into an orchard to get
some fruit. When they returned the
little girl was missing. Search was i'm
mediately made, but the baby had not
been found up 10 late hour last even
ing. The mother is nearly crazed with
grief.
THE cricket match that is to come off
on Lester Park Square tomorrow is
exciting considerable interest. The Og.
u6u players are. OGO. dIhtEs N. j .

VIM. Vaughn, VIM. Shipley, John Stitt,
Chas. Shipley Thos. Smurthwaite, VIM.

tutes. George Turner, umpire. After
the ball game the Ogden boys will give
the Amy club a mplimentary ball in
the Social Hall. The Osdens pay the
Almy bows expenses to Ogden and
back to Almy. 1t is thought that the
home club will play the Salt Lakes some
time about the middle of October.
A PRETTY good story is told on a
young Main Street clerk of this city.
He, with a companion, was in the store
until late the night of the 23d, the day
which was to have witnessed an earth
quake, and he was arranging the goods
in a show window. Suddenly a low
rumbling sound was heard and the
window pane against which our hero
was standing, began to shake and
tremble fearfully. The first thought
was that the predicted quake had ar
rived, and one bound took the clerk off
the step ladder and another landed him
outside where he frantically called to
his friend to come outside quick-the
walls would be falling in a minute
Some wag seeing him in the window,
rubbed his thumb across the large pane
causing the rumbling and shaking.
