The City in Brief.

Guess! What will be the ultimate effect
III the great carnival.
A city of 1000 or more inha bitants with
out first class hotel is not calculated to
impress strangers favorably. That's Og-
den's fix now
THE HERALDs the boss and a great IA
vorite, but its many subscribers would be
better pleased if it were delivered more
regularly. The SUNDAY HERALD came in
on tme-Tu eSday.
The five thousand OF more visitors who
were here last week carried home with
them exalted opinions of Ogden and her
people, and they viii be glad TO come again
on similar occasion.
Our free delivery system in Ogden is a
great thing-in imagination at least. Mail
that should be delivered as requested, to
house numbers, is still thrown into boxes
OF former box renters.
Large numbers of our people are prepar-
ing to flee to the mountains to escape the
heat and dust of the city. Within few
days tie shady groves OF the cool canons
Will be lively with summer visitors.
Mr.. McMurphy, of Omaha, is still linger-
ing with lis, and it is hoped that he may
ind IL pleasant and profitable to continue
his residence indefinitely. 1t is supposed
That he has designs upon the Daily Union.
Work on the many buildings in process Of
a week of pleasure, during which every
thlng was az a stan0still Or nearly so,
seems TO have been but prelude TO re
newed eXertions in the future.
The closing Of the Broom hotel, as
hotel, is not the only decidedly queer trans
action that has taken place in the neck o.
the woods l think that Mr.. Broom closed
his hcstlerie in order to give the carnival
people chance to rent their tents.
Since the week o. jubilee the city has
been overrun with skilled laborers. There
are now on hand, and apparently willing to
work, Stonecutters without number almost.
The consequence is that large force of
men are now fashioning into delicate and
beautiful shapes the diamond sandstone
blocks which will constitute the first story
Of the Reed hotel.
The announcement has been made that
the carnival was a financial success and
other carnivalS are assured. Let US hope
that the organization did not lose any
money by and through their venture. One
thing is certain, "a favored few will not have
an opportunity (they probably do not de-
sire it, to share the emoluments, il any, at
the expense of the mass of stockholders.
John A. Boyle is treasurer of the order,
and that is a sufficient guarantee that there
will be no misrepresentation of funds.
Every dollar received and expended will
be honestly accounted for.
Tomorrow night primaries will be held
in the several re-districted wards for the
purpose of placing in nomination a citizen
of each ward who shall be voted for on the
18th as a school trustee. This, of course,
is an important matter to the people of the
city, and those who have at heart the best
interests of the rising generation-the
future rulers of the state-will certainly
go to the appointed caucusing places and
give evidence OF their devotion to the prin-
ciples which they profess, by making Sc
lections of men who are equally devoted to
TO the principles Of free government. This
scribe has no other advice to give than
every man, of whatever party. should rise
to the Importance of the occasion and o
his duty.
Contrary to the opinion expressed by a
local print-which had no other founda-
ton than the writer's fervid imagination
the Ogden Light Guards will not disband.
They had quite a spirited meeting Monday
evening, at which 1t was decided to do

the circumstance you will also recall the
