observable in the closing of one drug

EXCURSION parties from this city to
the Cascade, or Birdie Veil" Falls, in
Provo Canyon, are becoming more pop
ulsr than ever. To avoid the necessity
of giving free passes over the toll road,
and to help along the boom in Provo,
the toll gate has been moved farther up
the canyon, so that all parties can 60
up to the falls free of toll.
A YOUNG man by the name of Mitchell.
from the Third Ward, of this city, met
with fatal accident, while cutting
timber for railroad ties, near the upper
cascade, IN Provo Canyon, yesterday
The young man was about % years of
age. and leaves large circle of relatives
and friends to mourn his sudden death.
From all the information We can learn,
he was at work on the steep mountain
side, chopping ties, when tree, felled
by parties higher up the mountain, fell
striking him on the head. He was
brought down the canyon in an uncons-
clous condition, and expired about mid
night. The parents and family have

the party too big tor their dyspeplic
digestive organs had swallowed all

The delegates elected to represent the
Democrats OF this Territory at the st.
Louis Convention will, of necessity,
represent Democratic principles or
nothing there. For all we know, the
same men would have been chosen if
none had been deprived of their RICH,

The HERALD, 1 have come to the con-
clusion that genuine Democrat is an
animal who regards all other animals
feeding in the same pasture equal with
himself. He finds that he has some
natural rights within himself, but. as q
democrat, he has not ascertained that
he holds any right to interfere or pre-
vent other animals I'm the pasture
from eating or drinking exactly the
same things which he excludes Fl ON his
own bill of fare. B.
