ALWAYS AT THE HEAD.
A New and Important Business
Venture.

That the permanent prosperity of
hamlet, village. town or city, depends
upon the intelligence, push and vim of
its citizens, none will for a moment
doubt. The days have gone by when
men succeeded in business because
there was really no opposition, because
they had clear field to themselves.
OF the prominent business men of Salt
Lake nearly all of them havs
risen from the ranks" and have at
tanned their present positions solely by
hard work, intelligently applied. Prom
lnent among the shippers of the
west, and in the lead of all compet;-
tors in this Territory, stands the
Peoples Forwarding Company, of
which Mr.. E. E. Rich is manager. 1t
is to the wide experience of this gentle
man that much of the success of the
company is due-he it is who has
placed the organization in the lead and
holds it there to-day. Mr. Rich's ex-
perlence in the forwarding and commits
sion business dates back to 1869, when
he was filling responsible situation at
White Pine, Nevada; afterwards
he located in Salt Lake, and
for a number of years had his
headquarters in Denver. paying
periodical visits to this section of the
west for the purpose of buying Utah
wheat for eastern dealers. ne has had
a wide business acquaintance from
southern Idaho TO the extreme south
ern end OF Utah, and is personally &C
quainted with nearly every Colorado

out thisa Territory, and his intimate
acquaintance with railways and their
manner of conducting business, give
him an advantage that cali be gained .
by no one unless he passes through
similar experience, and they make him
gentleman whose judgement il
such matters can be most implicitly
relied on.
Besides dealing in -four, grain, hay,
and general produce the company also
own exclusive salt beds near Lake
Shore, and which are within a stones
throw of the Utah Central and along
side the track of the Denver & Rio
Grande. The year now closing finds
the Peoples Forwarding Company in a
much better position than ever before.
Everything that could be done by way
of Improvement has been done. The
latest is the leasing by Mr.. Rich of the
old Faust and Houtz building,
on Second South s reer, for
merly occupied by the Grant
Br. theirs Company. 1t is now fitted
up as a mammoth wholesale h0ur,
grain and hay depot, and it is from this
central part of the city that all orders
will hereafter be filled. The changes
made have rendered it one of the most
complete and convenient business
places in the west. In addition to this,
the company has other warehouses at

Henry Clay and the Goat.

The following anecdote of Henry
Clay has just been published for the
first time. As he came out of the
capitol at Washington one day, seeing
frightened woman in the street striv-
ing to ward off the attacks of a sportive
goat, he gallantly in spite of his years
and office, seized the goat by the
horns. The woman thanked him and
sped hurfiedly on. Mr.. Clay would
nave liked to move on also, but the
goat had its own views about the inter-
ference with his innocent amusement.
As soon as the woman's deliverer
loosed his hold on the two horns the
animal rose maiestically on his hind
legs and prepared for charge. In
bis own defense Mr.. Clay now took
the animal as before by the horns, and
thus for time they stood. while a
crowd of street boys gathered about,
immensely amused at the unusual
spectacle of Senator and a goat
pitted one against the other i'm a public
street. As long as Mr.. Clay held the
goat by the horns all was well. but the
moment the quadruped was free came
fresh preparation for a charge. Not
boy offered assistance, but after a
while one ventured to suggest.
Throw the billy down, sir. Mr..
Clay at once accepted and adopted the
report of that committee, and tripping
the goat up essayed to pass on. Be
fore he could fairly turn away, how
ever, the goat was up in lofty prepara-
ton for a new charge. Mr.. Clay. gave

A New Jersey SpOok.

The village of BeIlville, N. j., an
old-fashioned place upon the sandy
banks of the Passaic river, has verit-
able ghost of its own, says letter to
the St. Louis Glo6e-DeniocrGt, whose
wind-like deeds have terrorlzed the
peaceful community among which it
holds an uuwelcome residence.
The story of this ghost-like visitor
runs in this startling vein. On the
road to Montgomery, near the bridge,
stand the remains of an old calico fac.
tory Trees surround the place, and
it is very lonesome. Nothing but the
bare walls of the building are left
standing. These are three stories
high and very irregular.
Peter Dieghan of Mill street and a
friend were passing the building on
Wednesday night at late hour when
they saw what appeared to be the head
and>shoulders of a man looking out
from one of the upper windows of the
ruined mill. In a moment the object
disappeared and in short time they
saw the head and shoulders and finally
the rest of the body rise until the full
length appeared and rested on the top
of the narrow wall. The object then
with deliberate tread and with as much
apparent ease as if it had several feet
of surface to walk upon instead of
only one. The two men stood breath
less, expecting every moment to see
the thing lose its balance and come
crashing to the earth. On it kept,
however, never making a misstep.
When the men recovered from their
surprise they determined to investigate
the mystery, and pushed their way
through the heavy underbrush and en-
tered the ruins. They made thorough
search of the place but could not find
the object.
The supposed spOok generally makes
its appearance between IL and II
o'clock at night and keeps up its per-
ambulations regardless of those who
may be watching it from the road. As
soon, however, as any one attempts to
enter the mill the object suddenly dis
appears and no one has been able to
discover in which direction it goes. 1t
appears to be about six or seven feet
high and is invariably clad in a long
flowing mantle of white. Occasionally
it utters low sepulchural sound not
unlike the moan of mortal in distress,
and again it shrieks loudly at sight of
some passer-by. No stairway leads up
to where it has been seen, and no lad
der that would reach the top of the
wall could be found in the entire coup
ty. And how the ghost manages to
preserve its equilibrium while walking
around upon the high walls, which are
not more than foot thick, is another
wonder which the Belleville people say
