Elder VIM. NJ. Palmer was with us again
on Wednesday last, and delivered his third

newest and latest roller process machinery.
We hope 1t will not end in smoke.
Grover appears to be partial to the name
Orlando. See presidential appointments,
Feb. ,. But for all this we grieve that his
appointing power is over for four years at
least
The lad, Christian Jensen, who had his
left leg broken at the time his brother
Holger was killed, report of which was
wired to The HERALD, Is still in a very
precarious condition He was hurt in
ternally.
Berg, the barber. has committed matri-
mony. Miss Matte Evans, Third ward
belle, is the blushing bride. Itnow remains
to be seen whether Berg can take a sham
poo with the same hair-pulling grace that
ne gives one. On their return from Logan
the happy pair were serenaded by the band

1t may not be a suggestive fact, but it is a
fact nevertheless, that on the very day Pres
ident Harrison took up his triumphal march
from Indianapolis to the White House, three
elders of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of L.
d. S. were fogged nearly to the point of
death. in his own state, for preaching an
unpopular faith: and this. too, by band Of
masked mObOcrats.
E P johnson, our new probate judge by
the grace of Grover, has filed his bonds,
qualified and entered upon his official duties
Judge j. d. Peters stepped gracefully down
and out in a neat and harmonious speech
and Judge johnson also mapped out the
course ne would pursue, in few well
chosen sentences. Those who predict an
Immediate clash in county court councils
are going to get fooled
Ephm. johnson, of the First ward, has
been called to perform mission to New
Zealand A family reunion was held the
other evening at which a subscription was
started and more than a hundred dollars
raised TO help him on his way. a benefit
ball was also given in the factory hall

Aletter came from President WOodruff's
Office on Sunday addressed to G. Christen-
sen: it was taken from the pOStOtfice by the

out to be a call for a foreign mission. There
is another G. Christensen in town, a prOmi-
nent stock man, so the musical celebrity at
once returned the letter to the post Office
with the notation on the envelope 'opened
in mistake:'' in due time it was received by
the man of cattle. Surprise No. ,. Now
both of the G.. C'S disclaim the ownership of
the letter and are trying to fasten it upon
third Christensen, who, they claim, is bet
ter versed in theology than in brass bands
or round-ups, hence should allow himself to
be uidentitied by the missionaryletter
There will be no final backing down, how
ever, no matter which Of the two is elected.
The benefit concert at the tabernacle on
Saturday evening was mammoth success,
artistically and otherwise. To this success
we attribute the untiring efforts of choir
leader Lee more than to any other cause.
The temperance of Prof. and Mrs. R. L.
Ffshburn after protracted absence was
prize feature and their efforts were duly ap-
preciated. Any one Of the sixteen numbers
that went to make up the programme was
said to be worth the price OF admission,
which was placed at % cents. The ben
eficiaries are a clear sixty dollars ahead.
Our municipal election passed off quietly
and the liberals are left in the lurch
They call it ''snowed under" Well, they

if they are content we ought to be. They

new Presbyterian church, but all to no
purpose. For the latter meeting they
brought in McDaniels, of the Tribune and
Lindsey Rogers, of Ogden. Nc. is better
writer than talller. He is neither winning
nor attractive on the rostrum and Lind
sey, we fancy would make a better con-
sultation lawyer than preacher at the bar
for the same reason. Our own Coombs,
who also spoke, did not suffer by com
parison with the visitors The hurrah
was a very tame affair throughout and
many who missed good thing at the con-
cert, in order to ratify, We're sOrely per
