engaged for the Jennings funeral.
The deputies were busily engaged to-day
in serving summonses on the grand and
petit jurors for the February term.
Lawyers are considerably divided in their
opinions on the bill introduced by Mr.. Thur
man in the Legislature on Thursday. Some
of them favor it.
Next week the members of the Legislature
will visit the Territorial Insane Asylum. 1t
is not yet known whether they will be
allowed to return.
1t is understood that ex-Mayor Little
Bishop John Sharp and John Henry Smith
will be the speakers at the funeral services
of Mr.. Jennings tomorrow.
1t is conceded by all that the Lewis Nor
rison company, taken as whole, is one of
the best dramatic companies that ever played
in Butte.-Butte Mountain, 10th.
The Deseret National Bank, of which the
late VIM. Jennings was Vice-President, will
ClOSe ltb uOOTb IO-InOrTOW III u. H., OUT OF
respect to the memory of the deceased.
The funeral of ex-Mayor Jennings will
take place tomorrow at l o'clock from the
Devereux House. The public will be per-
mitted to view the remains from 10 to -.
The finger-boards or street signs in the
Twentieth and Twenty first wards which
were broken down some months ago, have
not yet been replaced. The matter should
be attended to.
The organ recital of st. Marks church
promises to be very interesting entertain
ment and will BIO under the direction OF
Prof. Radcliffe. It will comprise eight num-
beers, vocal and instrumental.
Edward Harrison, after succeeding yester-
day in giving the newspaper reporters so
wide BERTH" left on the d. q r. G. train for
the West. He didn't have time to sue for
damages and false imprisonment.
Invitations are out for grand masquer.
ade ball to be given in the Emporium Hall
Wednesday evening, the 9th. The affair is
in the hands of an experienced committee
and will doubtless be a success.
The Tribune won't tell what the amount
was it received for the Government printing
two years ago. Will Mr.. Secretary Thomas
do what the Tribune declines to do?
James Robbins, of Tintic, who was for
u
known throughout the Territory, died in
Denver few days ago. His body will be
brought here for interment this week.
The Commissioners to-day made tho fol-
lowing appointments for the Logan NUM-

March: Thomas Rowland presiding Judge,

ciates.
The Tribune advertised that it had for
sale copies of the laws of 1884, at So per
copy. Once more we ask: If the Tribune
did not procure from Mr.. Secretary Thomas
the copies which it advertised for sale,
where did it procure them?
Mr.. Alfred Nelson, the gentleman who
has on several occasions delighted Salt Lake
audiences with his sweet tenor voice, is to
have benefit in the Social Hall next Mon
day evening. Professors B. b. Young and
w. Weihe are among the contributors TO the
programme.
Mr.. s. Francis, who substituted the name
OF Ben Sheeks for that of Judge Speirs, yes
terday, for the Council Committee on the
Compilation of the Laws of Utah, is one of
the most intellectual as well rs gentlemanly
members of the present Legislature. His
action was promptly sat down upon,
All of the stock which was shown in the
inventory of H. Koehlers assigned business
has been purchased by Durgin & Andrews,
the proprietors of the Second South street
commission store. 1t is understood that the
Continental Oil COMPANY is endeavoring to
have the goods retained and sold at the old
premises, and the matter may result in the
reopening of the defunct business.
The Tribune declines to answer'-refuses
to state the amount it received for the Gov
eminent printing two years ago, and urges
as an excuse that to do so would be ito lay
bare its business affairs for its the DEMO
oRAT'sl inspection" The excuse is very
lame one, to be sure, considering the assey-
erations the Tribune has made about "never
having received dollar from the Govern
ment that it has not honestly earned" The
DEMOCRAT challenges the Tribune to make
public the amount of its bill for the work
referred to.
1t il not an uncommon thing in the States
and Territories for the members of the
Legislatures to visit public buildings and in
stitutions-say, for instance, an insane
asylum. The Utah Legislature will there
fore follow good precedent when its men,
beers inspect the Territorial institution at
Provo next week. The one thing to be re-
GREETED is that the department for naturals
and idiots is not yet ready for patients. If
it were, the Legislature might be proiitably
ensmalled by leaving few of its chronic
and hopeless cases in an institution to which
they rightfully belong.
A Post of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie was organized at Milford last Saturday,
and comrades Timoney and Wetherell of the
James Ii. MoKean Post were chosen to
muster in and install the following officers of
the new post; James McGarry, post COM
mander; L. Mob. Timoney, senior vice
commander; Ben Johnson, junior vice-com-
mander; Abel Il. Thomas, chaplain; A. w.
Mowry, quartermaster; Joseph Mccormick,
adjutant; Daniel Remington, officer of the
day; Henry Melville, officer of the guard.
The new post purposes giving grand ball
on Washington's birthday anniversary,
February %.
On Saturday morning last, speaking of
the award of the Territorial printing to the
Neios, the Tribune claimed that there was
trickery in the giving out of that work, and
asserted that it had ga right to know all
about the matter, and the public have a
right to know" Granted. But how does
the If'ibune's claim in this respect harmon-
ize with its refusal TO let the public know the
amount il received for the Government print
ing two years agof Can it be possible that
the public have "a right to know all about
the matter" in the one case, and no right to
know anything at all in the other?
