Zelda Seguln, who appears this week
with the Duff Company is too well known
here to need any praise. Her success in the
heavier roles of Italian opera insures for her
triumph in opera comique.
There was quite heavy fall of snow on
the mountains to the east and northeast of
the city last night and Saturday. This is
quite early for the appearance of snow, and
it probably indicates an early winter.
Both Mormon and Gentle are anxious to
know why it is that Abram Cannon is not
cut off the Church. The 'authorities'
should look back year or two, and they
would be sure to find glaring precedent.
If John Q. Cannon was cut off the Church
i'll dead earnest why do the Church organs
support him, why does the Church attorney
defend him. and why does the Church itself
furnish his bonds? Read the answer in the
stars.
The First District Court opens at Provo
to-day. The case against young Pierson,
charged with murder, is among the first
cases on the criminal calendar. He will be
defended by his uncle, the noted San Fran
cisco lawyer, who bears the same name.
John Beck, 12-year old son of George
Beck, of Lehi junction, accidently shot
himself with shot gun to-day. He formerly
tended the bath houses for John Beck, and
left here yesterday for home in a wagon
Particulars of the accident not yet received
Lillian Russell, who appears here with the
Duff Opera Company, is one of the most
charming light-opera singers in the country.
She made her greatest hit at the Casino, in
New York, about year ago, and since that
time the Gothamites have all been at her
feet.
The fact that Messrs. Bamberger and
Bennett are in Manti most likely forebodes
something in connection with new owner
ship for the Sanpete Valley road. The gen
tlemen will return tomorrow and something
may then be learned as to the meaning of
the trip.
The rush for seats for the opera engage
NaA hot Hl,a,N L. n
was equal to that at the time of the recent
Palmer engagement. Everything indicates
that Duff's efforts are to be highly appre-
ciated, and that his troupe will be greeted
with big audiences at each performance.
With all the disgusting particulars brought
out in the John Q. Cannon examination last
week, it is said by those who ought to know
that the worst is not yet reached. The case
as it stands is complicated one, and rein
forced by couple more developments of
serious nature, it will challenge competition.
All the old Utah Central buildings in
Ogden are being torn down to make room
for the new Union depot. The freight bust
ness of the road will now be combined with
that of the Union Pacific, thus making the
union of the business of the two roads COM
plete. The passenger business, it will be
remembered, has been united for long
time past.
The surveying party under Major Hurd is
operating in Provo canyon, and as soon
as the work is done there, the party
will start for Uintah county, running pre-
liminary survey through Strawberry. 1t is
understood that the party is locating a route
for the Colorado ~ Midland Railroad which
is supposed to be the @. b. & Q. heading for
the Pacific coast through this part of Utah.
Park Record.
1t is now stated that John q. Cannon
applied to the church authorities some time
ago for permit to take unto himself an
other wife within the sacred halls of the
Logan Temple, and that permission was
refused him for the reason that becoming a
polygamist would unfit him to sit in Con-
gress. This, however, seems hardly likely,
because when the royal father got the notion
into his head of sending this bright son to
represent the church, fitness could not have
been thought of.
The cases against Edna Dixon and her
student" which were set for trial in the
Police Court this afternoon were continued
until tomorrow. The man who was caught
in Edna's house was brought up for trial.
He represents that he is an employee of the
District Telegraph Company, and that as he
was passing the house, Edna had called him
in to repair her messenger box. The man
says that he is often called there for the
same purpose, and has never been there or
to n similar place for any other purpose.
