newspaper fight. The HERALD is
good natured and candid always, but
if our cotemporary insists on having
a bout, we suppose we viii have to
settle him again. Some people every
now and then get so bad that they
have to be put through a course Of
sprouts.
-AIARRIED.-Aprn LIST, 1889, by
Elder Isaac johnson at his residence,
Mr.. Charles Peck and Miss Il. Alice
Boon, both OF Freedom twp, Phillips
county. Miss Alice had just closed a

The First National Bank of Den
yer was robbed of $21, 900 last Friday
in broad daylight. The rObber went
into the bank, asked to see the presi-
dent, was shown into his private Of
fee, compelled that gentleman to sign
and cash a check for 81, 600, at the
muzzle of a revolver, then deliberate
ly walked away and disappeared be-
fore the alarm could be gwen. All
this was done in broad daylight, with
twenty clerks in the bank, without at
tracing attention.

This is designed to explain Mormon
! ism and is of thrilling interest. The
Chief says of it: ''This is undOubted-
| ly the best and strongest play ever
| put on the stage in this city and the
presentation of it viii be first-class.
This unequaled drama has never been
presented in this country and is com
paratively a new play having been
written in 1886. 1t consist of a pro-
lOgue and four acts" IF any HER
AID readers wish to spend an evening
pleasantly and proitabIy they should
attend the play.
One of our best citizens remarked. a few days
ago, that the Junior editor OF the Herald should
! have a display card pinned to mis- back so the
country people would know he was very MORAL
man.-Dispatch.
Every now and then for many
months the Dispatch has frequently
contained little sneers and personal
stabs like the above. We have paid
no attention to them till now, and even
now we only intend to say to our
neighbor that if he has any charges
to make against the prOprietors of
this paper to come out and do it
openly and in plain language, like a
man. To SANDER another by innuendO
and hints and mysterious savings. is
the tactics of the sneaking, skuIking
coward. We are sorry our neighbOr
seems so jealous and s0re-headed and
so inclined to want a personal wran-
gle through the papers. IF he keeps
on SIX months longer or even a shorter
time than that, we suppose we will
have to take the gentleman in hand.
The City election held last Mon
day was an unusually spirited one
and if all reports can be relied on en-
gendered more or less i'll feeling. We
hope that 1t viii not last long, but
that amicable and friendly relations
may soon be restored between all
candidates and their respective adj
herents. Both tickets were made up
of good material. Both Mr. McCOr-
mick and Strain are we'll qualified to
Eli acceptably the Office Of Mayor.
All sorts of reasons have been assign
ed for the result and as the cause for
the bitter contest. Some. say it was
a fight between two churches on one
side and one on the other; others that
it was a fight between the Banks, still
others assert that it was a contest of
/ County Treasurer against Frank
Strain from personal feeling growing
out of the troubles Of the Ex-Treas-
urer. Other reasons have been stated
but we refrain from detailing them.
Doubtless the remarks of individuals
made under excitement on election
! day gave rise to the various charges
/ above referred to. The HERALD saws
to all concerned, ''Let us have peace"
Here now is an important little
item of news. Very soon Phillips
burg is to be the only town on the
Rock Island between st. Joe, No,
and Colorado Springs, Colo, where
the stationary express safe on the
cars will be opened. That we maybe
more definite we will explain that
the stationary express safe IS locked
at st. Joe with a time lock. In case
Of robbery the messenger on the
train does not himself know the com
