THE regular monthly priesthood
meeting on Saturday was well attended.
Education was the timely topic.
HERE is man holding public posi-
ton of trust and emolument. What
must we think of such an one, who,
having TO give bonds in case OF ap-
peal. is compelled to go to neighbor-
ing settlement, where he is compare
lively unknown, to find bondsmen
A LITTLE son of James Bywater was
thrown from horse on Friday and had
his right leg and lett arm seriously IN
iured. The fa'her, at the present time,
is what Warden Pratt calls one OF bis
trusty cohabs. The child is receiving
care and attention.

so badly scAlded a month ago by falling
into q boiler + hot water on wash day,
is progressing very slowly and net yet
out of danger.
l.. C, CHRISTENSEN is building a west
end extension to make room for stock
of musical merchandise. E. A. Box q
Co. are extending Ia the same direction,
but their extra facilities will be used for
produce instead OF music.
THE new liquor law has had the
wholesome effect of closing up Slater
st the Hot Springs, Barker at Willard
LeiYes at Corinne and Jimmett at
Collinston so that Wilson, our only
soloonIst, now holds grinding mo-
nopoIy on the whisky business in this
half of the county. The other half not
heard from yet.
w. Il. BooTHE is the successful COM
petitor and to day received his ap-
pointmeut as postmaster of Brigham
| City. B F. Boothe will have charge
of the office which will be removed to
the centre of town at once. Thus it
will be seen that applications from the
| Commissioner in behalf of members
of his friends, no rot avail.
SINCE the advent of the fruit season
our town has used over LOCO sacks OF
sugar and not ono pound OF that
amount has been shipped direct
from the refinery. Ogden mid
dlemen have reaped the golden
harvest and Ogden merchants con-
tinue to chuckle in their sleeves
at the credulity and lack OF business
enterprise on the part of the fraternity
in Brigham. The same might be said
OF soaps, nails and furniture.
THE Third is the model ward in the
way of public enterprise and push.
| The Mutual Improvement Assocla tons,
| in imita j N of the older members, have
continued tc hfi conjoint meetings
monthly thro, hout the season. these

A HORSE epidemic has struck US all in
q heap. w. H. Boothe lost his stallion
Rural Chief, worthy descendant OF
| the illustrious old Kentucky Chief, and
valued at $500; thousand dollars was
offered for him last week. The horse
died of spasmodic collie and was sick
ONLY forty-five minutes. Mayor Mad
son and r. K. Wilson have each lost
vs. liable animals within the week and
Bishop Dewey had one die in the har-
ness on Monday.
PROF. OLIVER LOCKE, champion glass
blower, has been giving public exhibit
tions here, his wonderful model of q
complete Corless engine, composed of
1000 separate pieces CT glass, and IN
constant opera ton, IS indeed marvel
of mechanical art and beauty. The show
is run on the lottery or prize drawing
plan and Will Crltchlow poses as the
professional premium, prize pipe beauty.
PROF. J. J. ANDERSON, formerly OF
Lehi, is to have charge of our Demon
national High School or State Acad
emy this winter, his school opened on
Monday with flattering prospects for q
full attendance. Box Elder county in
the past has remained persistently in
the back ground so far as educational
matters are concerned; let US hope this
move will give the good cause an up
ward tendency so that we may claim
recognition and not forever be COM
PEELED to hide cur heads in shame when
the subject of education is mooted.

evitable, jumped and escaped with
few bruises.

up for hearing, at the time and place
set forth in our last. The Commits
