A number of tour ists, among them Colonel Wear, superinten- dent of the park, and his assistant, Captain Barronette. while near the cave of an extinct geyser in the vicinity of the lake heard a hiss ing sound coming from the cave and the head of reptile thrust out some fifteen feet, and immediately withdraw.
 Parties are watching for another sight of the monster.

MIR. EDIfoR: Two interesting mes
sages have been sent to Congress by the
President during the week, each of
which involves important legislative ac-
tion. One of them is in reference to
the present state Of affairs existing in
Utah, in which the President says
"rhe determination ON the part of the
General Government to suppress un-
lawful practices in this Territory, de-
mand neither the refusal of the means
OF supporting the local government nor
the sacrifice of the interests of the COM
munity"' The Governor of Utah has
vetoed the last appropriation bill passed
by the legislature, and as under the law
the legislature will not convene for two
years, the President recommends that
Congress Immediately enact such legis-
lation as will authorize the resembling
OF the legislation at an early day, in or
der that provision may be made o meet
present expenses OF the Territorial
Government. In the second message
he recommends an appropriation of an
adequate sum OF money with which TO
defray'the cost of the unveiling of the
Bartholdi statue, which is to take place
In October.
The friends of land reform are pleased
by the important step taken by the
House in passing bill authorizing the
establishment of commission to ascer.
tain and settle the claims of persons to
lands in the Territories of New Mexico
and Arizona, and the State of Colorado.
by virtue of any right, title OF authority
deriNe ed from the Spanish or Mexican
Governments. The bill provides that
"no alien or person not a citizen of the
United States shall acquire title to
lands" " The public lands committee
have also in preparation a bill prohibit
ing alien ownership Of land. ..
The Gentle cause in Utah has secured
a triumph ln-t the recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the Snow case, The decision makes
the Supreme Court of Utah the final
arbiter in cases Of unlawful cohabitation.
The Mormon church employed able
counsel to argue their case, and the de-
cislOn confirming the sentence of Apos-
tie Snow to the penitentiary for eigh-
teen months will strike terror to the
hearts of many Of the faithful"
The return TO Washington of the U.
s. Fish Commission Steamer Alhatross
from a two months cruise among the
bahamas, has added many valuable oh
jects Of natural history to the collections
in the National Museum. The expe-
ditlon was fitted out with the view OF
obtaining specimens Of tropical animals
and birds, and the success achieved by
t6s vollsetOrs has been remarkable.

AN exchange gets off good one and
hits some folks right between the eyes
In the following manner: AFTER YOU
get upon your ear and make up your
mind to stop your paper to make the
editor feel humilated, just poke your
fingers In water and then pull them out
andloek for the hole. Then you will
know'how sadly YOU are missed. The
map who thinks paper cannot survive
without his support ought to 60 off and
stay q while. When he comes back he
will find that half his friends don't
know he was gone. The other half
dtsn't care a cent aud the world at large
hadn't kept any account of his move
ments whatever. You will probably
md some things in your home paper
which you can't endorse. Even the
Bible is rather plain and hits some hard
licks. II you We're to get mad and burn
your Bible the hundreds of presses
would go on printing them, and if you
were to stop your paper and call the
editor all sorts Of ugly names, the paper
wonld still be published. And what is
more, YOU will sneak around and borrow
copy oft every week from your neigh
Dor. 1t is much better to keep your
vest pulled down and your subscription
paid up.
