A short, stout, Jewish looking gentleman

the city mayors Office yesterday, anC
wanted to know if he could obtain license
to peddle silver spoons for day or so. He
wanted TO make money enough to take
him to Logan. He wanted a license at q
less rate than the city ordinances would al
low. The mayor said he could not change
the ordinances, and referred him to the
city recorder, George L. Graehl, but Laza
rus found him as bad as the mayor
He would not grant any license for less
than what the law permits, 50 the
peddler had to pay the full amount. The

Wednesday morning THE HERALD failed
to arrive, something that has not happenei
for six months or more. Although SOM
other papers sometimes fail to appear whel
wanted THE HERALD has been very prompt
However, we cannot blame THE HERALl
this time, as it was the fault of the mai
agent Of the Utah & Northern railroad, a
he carried it past Brigham. Perhaps h
wanted to change our good opinion of tn
paper, as il is 4 well known fact that thi
very paper has a wonderful influence TO
good over great many people. Whethe
The HERALD, although wrapped up in
bundle, brought some of this influence t
bear on that young postal clerk, we are no
able to say, but he had not gone very ia
before he repented of his wrong doing, in
somuch that before the sOuthbound trail
was met he determined to return the paper
by that mail, so we received them the sam
day. Although few hours late, the "Gian
Of the Rockies got there.
