Some Of the many artesian wells in this
city have ceased to yield their former sup
ply of water, few having dried up, but
most of the wells continue as good as at
first.
A large portion of the apple trees in this
vicinity seem to bear fruit biennially, and
this is the off season. Still, we will have
apples enough for home consumption and

A small circus drew big audience on
Wednesday night. The circus was located
little out of town, and many of those who
attended were persons who would not
have gone to such a show if located in d
more central part of the city. About the
best performing characters at the circus
were couple of donkeys.
The talk of street cars and electric lights
-.
gotten, though the necessity of a street
railroad is more apparent than ever before.
A line of street cars to the Utah lake, two
miles west of town, would be great con-
venience to the people and could not help
but be upaying oinvestment. All of the
livery rigs in the city have proved in
adequate at times, and hundreds of people
not having conveyances of their own have
been unable to visit those bathing resorts
at times they desired to do so.
In case the city council concludes to dis
pose of the west frontage of the court
house block, it is proposed that the deeds
for all such land sold shall stipulate that
no business, such as the manufacturing or
selling of liquor, gambling houses, or
houses of ill-fame, etc, shall ever be
established thereon. Lawyers tell US
deed with such provisions would be per-
fectly lawful and could be made to work a
forfeiture of the title for violation of the
stipulation, even though some future city
council might continue to grant license
to all applicants. As this proposed proviso
is to prevent the establishment of saloons
etc, near the tabernacle, would like to ask
if the city council have not the power to
prevent saloons being established too near
churches or schools by a general ordinance.
If so, why not do it!
Mr.. L. T. Dennis, an old-time circus
clown, lectured in the tabernacle on
Wednesday and Thursday nights, on the
subject of Temperance and Christianity"
The lectures were illustrated with charts
and pictures showing the procedure in man
ufacturing the pure and adulterated
liquors. He showed the filthy nature of
some of the cheap liquors made up of drugs
and that the only effect of such stuff was to
create thirst and destroy the stomach, and
to bring on the dreadful delirum tremens.
Mr.. Dennis is not fluent speaker, but APP
pears Jealous in the cause of temperance.
and cannot help but accomplish some good
if he continues. He claims to be a re-
formed drunkard, and seems very anxious
to warn others against the evil resulting
from Intoxicating drinks. Success to him!
