Col M. E. Post, of the Interstate Town
& Land company, left on trip to Chey-
enne yesterday morn ,ng.
Rev Mr. Franklin, of this city, was sum
moned to Pennington yesterday morning,
by telegraph. He will probably return TO-
day.
About one hundred excursionists went to
Lake Como yesterday. This new fresh
water resort on the Union Pacific railroad
IS bound to be popular.
Rev. J. E. James, presiding elder of the
NJ E. church. was in the city yesterday,
looking over his old stamping ground. He
leaves this morning for a trip through
Idaho.
Commissioner Cross, to day, dismissed
the case of John Butler, of HarrlsYille,
charged with unlawful cohabitation, for
lack of sufficient evidence. The case was
continued from yesterday.
Mr.. William Garland, of Kansas, who
was in this city not long ago, will secure
the contract for the first twelve miles OF
the Boutwell, canal. This is the most diff
cult part of the work and will require much
skill.
Some very pretty specimens OF native
copper which have just been brought down
from the hills east of town, are on exhibit
ton at Ternes & Bowen's, on Twenty fifth
street. They have also some beautiful
specimens of silver-copper ores from the
same locality.

Complaint made by the city of Ogden VS.
Edward Southwick was filed before Com
missioner Cross on Wednesday for 50, the
amount of his poll tax, which he refused to
nav. The case will be tried on Monday
next. This is understood to be a test case,
IS there has always been disposition
among certain class to evade the poll tax.
This perhaps applies to Ogden more than
many other cities, as there is always a
transient class here who have no property
and do not fear prosecution.
The Utah canning factory has resumed
operations and wagon load after wagon
load of tomatoes is passing through the
streets en- route to the factory, If several
other canning establishments would start
into the business here they would surely dc
well, vegetables of every kind are plenti-
Jul and cheap and fruits have almost nc
ing peaches, apples, plums, etc, in many
orchards near by, the fruits being too cheap
20 warrant picking and packing.

reported by the physicians as in sorry
plight. THE HERALD man visited Mr.. Frank

taking in the matter Mr. Hurlbut is hold
ing a consultation with the city attorney in

Detent health officer to enforce the ordin-
ances. which are stringent but are being
ignored in parts of the town. The commit
tee have a meeting tomorrow, at which
time they will urge upon the city council the
need of a health officer, the city marsha
having all and even more than he can attend
20 without looking after the sanitary de-
partment. An odorless eXcavator will be
ordered from the east, and an entirely new
plan will be pursued by the committee Il
give the city the best possible service. Dom
let the matter lag, gentlemen.
