F. S. Rollins, who yesterday pleaded

Our genial county clerk Dan Hamer, was
receiving the congratulations of his numer-
GUS friends yesterday over the advent of a
new addition to his home. May the young
ster live long and flourish.
The question of starting up the Ogden
iron works and manufacturing water pipe,
is occupying the minds of some Of our
moneyed men.
1t is remarked by some of the old settlers
that thirteen years ago the weather was
similar to that now being experienced in
this neck o. the woods. The rivers were
raging, dams were washed out and one per
son was drowned at Plain city.
It is the very general opinion that the
city council is not acting in good faith in
the matter OF Offering to sell pare of
Union square, inasmuch as they have not
offered to sell to the highest and best bid
der An association of citizens recently
offered to build fine structure on one Of
the corners, if the city would sell it for a
nominal price. This the city could well
afford to do. and it would in no proper
sense be gift of public property for pri-
vate uses. On the contrary the erection OF
such building as was proposed would en-
nance the value of the remaining lots on
the square, and the city would really be a
gamer. If the city council mean business,
they will offer to sell at public sale, to the
highest bidder who will agree to erect on
the corner such building as has been
talked of and which is looked upon as very
desirable.
The Commercial reporter has been "going
for'' the management Of the Union opera
house in a very unbecoming manner, be-
cause of an alleged discOurtesy The
yO1,-,r mon who have pharOp of that moor
apology for theatre have conducted it in
a more satisfactory manner than it has
ever before been carried on, and are en-
titled to a great deal of credit for it.
Thornburg & Bond understand their bust
ness pretty well after all.
Milton and Dollie Mobiles will appear in
1.-THE Ph9nix'' at Union opera house to-
night. These old fayorites will draw like
a mustard plaster.
The coming fair of the Fifth ward prom
Uses to yield much nutriment 1t is de-
sired to lift debt of 1900 on the meeting
house, and indications point to the easy ac-
accomplishment of that object. Town lots
and other valuable property will be rallied
for.
Our city is beginning to fill up with some
of the scum of the earth who have been play
ing at work on the Boutwell, canal. AS the
season advances and the weather becomes
more lncl6UlonG, our OulCefS OK pSCO W oSC
these fellows come to Ogden IN droVeS.
Most of them will be broke when they ar
rive, and those who have little money
will strike deadfall the first thing, while
a majority of them will have to be placed in
the cooler and provided with food and lodg-
ing at the expense of the taxpayers. These
fellows have made little hell of the former
quiet little town of Collinston, but they
must not be permitted to play any of their
oh ,o+a r;c+ io in this community
There are too many toughs in the city now
for the peace and quiet Of the law-abiding
people.
