TIE KING OF spArN.-The only monarch

The KING OF SPAIN. only monarch
In the world of whom absolutely nothing
dlsagreesble is said ia bis Majesty King a.
fonso Of Spain. He is getting on toward bis
third birthday, and preparations for that
event are being made and written ah4at,
though it Is still several months off. &
great many industrious writer's ard cores
pondeuts continue to pour out Information
regarding this important baby. one Iuii
grown scribber declares with the utmost
seriousness that the little King Is modest
and upassumng and gives no thought TO
his exalted position or his future destiny,
truly remarkable thing in boy thirty
months old. II seems, too, that bis long
list of names and the fact that he is official
" known as the well beloved son OF the
Pope, the brother of all gentlemen who
wear crowns, sad the cousin Of Spap!sh
ersudees has not inflated him with pride.
The principal misfortune Of his life ap2e ars
to be that he has 10 one to play with bin.
No CHILD could bs allowed to play with hlGo
unless it were old enough to understand
how careful It would have to be not to In
fringe upon his royal dignity, and besides
the Queen is AFRAID ofcausing jealousy BY
comforting upon any great lady the hohor
of having her children play with the King.
The hardest work to which this young mon
arch is subjected is that ofreceiviug his min
listers, dignitariee, State generals, graudess,
and so forth, while sitting on the throne 10
his nurses lap, q ceremony when necessi-
tates his sitting still while ali these Things
pass before him. At Wednesdays reception
1000 great men OF various Kinds turn up
to see the King and bow to him. One prec-
ious advantage which this royal baby has
oysr ordinary ones and which cannot De ex
aggerated is that everybody who comes
along and admres his curl5 has not the
right to kiss him.-Cor. N. I. Sun.

The Pixies Peak Line.

The Pixies Peak Cogwheel railroad will
be complete and ready for operation by
May l, 1890. This news will be hailed with
joy by the thousands of tourists, many OF
whom are denied even the privilege of pay
nag s. for seat in wagon to reach the
summit of this great mountain For some
time the different trunk lines in the state
have been figuring on taking hold of the
subject, and now the matter is finally set
tied, and as soon as President Cable, of the
Rock Island, has attached his signature to
the necessary papers, work upon the con-
struction Cf the line will at once be COM
menced and completed as soon as possible
The road is to be built by Joint COM
pany, all the trunk lines in the state taking
shares. The Denver & Rio Grande viii
superintend the construction, however, and
Chief Engineer Briggs will leave for the
peak in a few days to look over and form
ally accept the survey, and the line will be
built as originally projected.
This will be one of the greatest tourist
drawing cards in the state when COM
pleted, and it is expected that at least two
hundred passengers per day will be hauled
up and down the mountain during the sea-
son.
President Game, of the Rock Island is ex-
pected in Denver within the next ten days
to sign the contract papers as one of the
directors of the Rio Grande, and as soon as
this happens the work will be prosecuted
with the utmost energy.

To Yellowstone PArk

1t has been decided bv the Union Pacific
management to build line into Yellow
stone park. While rumors to this effect
have been in circulation for some time, no
definite understanding has been reached
until within the last few days. The road
will leave the Oregon Short Line at the
Market lake, and will run by way of the
Snake Creek valley up to Jacksons lake,
and then to the upper geyser basin. At
this point an eastern syndicate will, by per-
mission of the government, erect large
hotel which will make this portion of the
park one of the most famous resorts of the
country. Work on the new line will begin
as soon as the preliminary survey is
finished, which will be in few days 1t is
expected that the road will be completed
before December 1.-OmGIla Bee

Hon. Joseph Barton and family, together
with number of their friends, left here
to-day for an outing in Ogden canon.
There is considerable sickness here at
present. Miss Carrie Burton, who has been
dangerously i'll for some time, has taken a
slight change, and her friends have now
some hopes of her recovery.
Watermaster Linford is smiling this

Henry j. Sheffield on Monday, Septem-
Der 2, will open general, fancy and staple
grocery establishment adjoining the
butcher shop of Blameres & Sheffield. This
will be the only exclusive grocery store in
town, and we wish him every success.
Last nights rain has caused the farmers
in this vicinity to look happier than they
have done for the past three or four months.
Threshing hands are to-day taking a rest,
and some of them have gathered together
and are spending their nickels and dimes at
Williams & Robins shooting gallery.
A short time ago Fred Seal, young man
living on farm belonging to Mr. Larkins,
had his leg broken. After few days it
was learned that his injuries were more
serious than his friends first thought, and
last Friday he was taken to the Deseret
hospital, where, at last accounts, he was
progressing favorably.
One more week of threshing and then
all the grain raised here will be safely con
fined in the bins of the farmers. In many
places the grain is badly srunken, but al
though the season in many respects has
been unfavorable our harvest will be far
greater than in many localities John B.
Barnes this year has raised 10000 bushels
of grain.

HEBER HAPPENINGS.

There is still a good deal of sickness of
one kind and another among children.
Threshing has commenced, but some of
the grain is turning out rather poorly,
there being only about two-thirds of a
crop. 1t is doubtful whether there will be
breadstuff enough raised this year to last
until another harvest
The big storm which has been passing
through the mountains gave us a call last
Saturday evening; the rain came down in
perfect waves from half to three quarters
Of an hour, soaking things up in fine shape,
though it would have been better appre-
ciated had it come a month earlier.
The schools are all to start in week or
ten days. The dramatic association is
getting up an entertainment for the benefit
of the church school, which is going to be
held in one of the back rooms of the stake
house, beginning the I'd of September The
proceeds of the theatre are going towards
fitting up the room for that purpose.

tleman named George Shafer, living a few
miles west of town, was killed. While
shoveling sand out of pit the bank caved
in and he was completely buried alive, be-
meath four feet of heavy, damp sand
With almost super-human strength, his
horror stricken son, who stood near by,
came to the rescue. The boy, wild with
fear and terror, threw the sand aside as
best he could, but it was some time before
he found his poor, unfortunate father.
When half-unearthed, the old gentleman
partly raised up, opened his eyes as if to
speak, when the blood gushed from his
nose and mouth, and he fell back cold and
stiff IN death. The boy was now sick with
fright, but managed to reach some neigh
bors who unearthed the old man and
brought him to town. He will be buried
with gentler hands to-day. He was an old
gentleman who had the respect and conf
dence of all whom he knew JIM.

Readyertising Cruiser Bids.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Advertisement:
were re-issued today from the navy de
partment for bids for the construction Of
the three 2,000-ton cruisers, for which ex
cessive proposals were opened on Thurs
day. The new advertisements are the same
as the DID, with certain important differ
ences that are expected to induce contract
ors to offer bids that will fall within the
appropriation. The department makes
several concessions to this end. In the first
place, six months more time is given, MAX
ing the contract period two and one-half
years. The maximum speed to be obtained
IS fixed at seventeen knots instead of eigh-
teen and the premium rate is altered.
There will be premium of $4,000 for
each quarter of knot over the maximum,
and similar deduction for each quarter of
knot below, instead of $4,000 for the
first quarter of knot. $780, 900 for the sec
ond, $4,000 for the third and $40, 600 for the
fourth and all above. The minimum speed
below which the vessel will be rejected is
to be 16 knots instead of 1873. Bids
will be opened October 26.
No action has yet been taken in the case
of the two 3,000-ton vessels, but a re-
advertisement will probably be issued for
them.
