PROVO POINTS.

A PROSPECTIVE storm threatens to
interfere with farming operations.
If LAND jumpers wsuld come to
Provo they could find good opening
within three miles of the court house.
THERE HAVE been but few if any
real estate transactions of Importance
this week; though each of our local
land agents are hopeful of doing better
next week.
On THE corner of Centre and West
Main Streets, there is an open cellar
which has been an eye sore and dis
grace to the enterprising citizens of this
burg since the D. & R. q. Railroad was
built, when some people thought the
depot would re located on the west
public square. Two blocks east there is
another evidence of ruin and decay
where the old Brigham Young
Academy stood few years ago. II
the owners of these two cellar holes
are not able TO cover them, the people
in the near vicinity ought to build a
high fence to hide them from public
view.
WE HAD the leasure of Witnessing
the exhibition of lantern views illus
tratlng lecture on the sun. moon and
stars, by Professor J. e. Talmage, in
the Theatre last Thursday night
There was no intermission, and from
the time the lights were turned down to
give effect TO the views, until the close
of the lecture at 10 o. clock, the audience
was held spellbound, as it were, listen
to the eloquent discourse of the pro-
lessor, and viewing the panoramic
lantern views of the subject. He TOOK
his audience with him far away from
earth, land the o'en cellar holes of
Center Street and showed them the
spots on tn sun, the volcanic eruptions
and the intense heat, which would make
other lights appear like darkness in
comparison. He illustrated the great
distance of other celestial orDS from
the sun, and their size by
comparison. and took us through
dark shadows of space to view the
surface of the moon and stars. and
while there. gave us a view of earth
as it appears to inhabitants of those
othe worlds. Then the molten of the
planets revolving around the sun was
illustrated by an ingenious moving
view of the solar system. This one
view affords sufficient material for sew
eral lntere stiUg lectures, and ii elected
spontaneous applause from the
audience. The lecture. was given for the
benefit of o. Free Reading Ro om, and
judging by the size IF the audience, we
are safe in saying Professor Ia mage
is entitled to credit for a most liberal
donation.
THE announcement that the Salt
Lake Home Dramatic Club Is negotlat-
ing with Our theater management for
a performance here of their celebrated
Confusion" in Provo, is exciting a
good deal of interest. 1t is to be hoped
the negotions will prove successful.

AN INTERESTING FACT.
Effect of the Vibration of Tele-
graph Wires OIL Wild
Animals

Some interesting facts have been
brought out in paper by NJ. c. Mel
son of Christiana, on the impression
produced upon animals by the reson.
ance of the vibration OF telegraph wires.
1t is found that the black and green
woodpeckers, for example, which hunt
for insects in the bark and in the heart
of decaying trees, often peck inside the
circular hole made transversely through
telegraph posts, generally near the top.
The phenomenon is attributed to the
resonance produced in the post by the
vibration of the wire, which the bird
mistakes as the result of the operation
of worms and insects in the interior of
post. Every one knows the fondness of
bears for honey. 1t has been noticed
that in mountainous districts they
seem to mistake the vibratory SQUAD of
the telegraph wires for the grateful
humming of bees, and, rushing to the
post, look about for the hive. Not find
| ing it on the post, they scatter the
stones at its base which help to support
it, aud, disappointed in their search.
give the post parting pat with their
paw, thus showing their determination
at least to kill any bees that might be
| about it. Indispntable traces of bears
about PROSTATE posts and scattered
stones prove that this really happens.
With regard to wolves, again. M. Mel
son states that when vote was asked
at the time for the first great telegraph
lines. member of the Storthing said
that although his district had no direct
interest in the line proposed, ne would
give his vote in its favor, because he
knew the lines would drive the wolves
from the district through which they
passed. It's well known that to keep
off the ravages of hungry wolves in
winter the farmers in Norway set up
poles connected tog ther by line or
rope. under which the wolves would
not dare ropass. "And it is fact Nj.
Nelson states, THAT when, twenty or
more years ago, telegraph lines were
carried over mountains and along the
valleys the wolves totally disappeared
and spec men is now a rarity"
Whether the two circumstances are
casually connected, M. Nelson does
not venture TO sav.-Inteii0r

hInnntphn GnsetLs.

When tire Democrats come to consider
the shsmesless frauds and villainies prac-
ticed by the Republicans in this State,
they well msy wonder and congratulate
themselves that things are no worse.
That Wholesale repeating and other ille-
gal voting accounts fer their large major!-
ty in this county, no one can truthiully
deny.
Reports indicate that the most shameful
outrages were committed by Republican
management in the counties of Mercer and
Mcdowell. These counties, bordering as
they DO upon the Virginia line, Just inside
of which are carried on large mining ope-
rations, have afforded q fruitful field for
Republican rsscality, and it has been
worked for all there is in it.
The Norfolk and Western road, which
was lately extended into Mcdowell county,
brought in and put TO work several hun
dred negroes, very few of whom are voters.
On election day they appeared in force at
the polls, swore in their votes, and then
crossed into Mercer county snd repeated
tie operation. The Democrats have the
names Of Reveuiy-six negroes of Pocahon
tas, Virginia, who voted at E'khorn, in
Mcdowell county, and then repeated the
performance IN Mercer county.
The Republican vote of Mcdowell coun-
~ was 1913 in 1891. II is now $50, and
most of the increase has been from Viz
ginia in the last three months. The Re-
publican vote Of Mercer county has been
increased something over 900 in the same
manner.
Is it any wonder, in the face of those
facts, and of the further fact that hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were put in
20 this STATE by Republican managers, OF
which So, 600 was contributed by Golf to
fulfill hiI ambition, that West Virginia is
even slightly Democratic?
Does any oue, familiar with the spirit
of West Virginia Democracy, believe tina:
it proposes to stand by with folded hands
aud listless hearts and permit the will of
the people to be frustrated and outraged
in such manner? Ii there is a legitimate
way under the sun 10 prevent the con-
summation Of such Outrsgss, the Demo.
Gratis will find and use it.

We of West Virginia arc still on the Ragged
edge, but we can give thanks, if it comes
to that, that it is no Worse, and that, what
ever the result may be, wa shall continue
to live and prosper as usual, which is
the principal beauty of our government in
which the people are supreme.
