The City in Brief.


Ex. United States Marshal Frank H. Dyer
and Farley L. Williams of Salt Lake city, were
in Ogden yesterday taking in the sights.
1t is expected that everybody will wear
mask on the night of the Fourth of July, spec
tators as well as those who march in the pro-
ceSSion.
The canvass roof of the carnival palace con-
tains six miles in length of twenty nine inch
wide twelVe-ounce ducking, and weighs seven
and a half tons. II was no easy job TO raise 1t
to its place.
The city has made it unlawful for teams to
cross Twenty-fourth street during the hours of
the tournament exercises, and the Grant ave-
nue. crossing of the same street will be closed
during such exercises.
t. S Tod, the slayer of Pat Desmond, will
not take in the carnival The Jury at 4 O'Clock
yesterday morning, rendered a verdict of vol
untary manslaughter, the penalty for which is
five years Imprisonment.
The fire alarm system was being tested yes
teruay afternoon. Alarms were turned in from
each Of the stations, and the bell in the city
hall towerl5ept up an almost continual ringing
The system is now said to be in perfect working
order.
Reserved seats for the entertainments in car
nlval palace are going of like hot cakes The
building Will seat II, 090 people and there is no
doubt that it will be tilled 10 its utmost ca
paclty; yet il VIII be well 10 procure reserved
seats as early as possible.
The BARRIERS of Ogden made up their minds
10 raise their prices during the carnival. \
committee of the city council waited upon them
and told them that if they did so they would
hereafter be required to pay license TO carry
on their business. They will charge only the
regular rate next week
The best advertising medium is THE HERALD
A carload of copies of the Giant of the
. Rockies will be distributed free on Ogden
streets next week. There will be enough SO
that everybody can get copy. THE HERALD's
reports OF carnival doingS will be as complete
as those OF other papers.
J. S. Painter, attorney for T. S Tod who shot
Pat Desmond, ana whom the jury found guilty
OF voluntary nIaaslaughter, gave notice that he
Wouiq move Tor j new trial On the ground that
part of rOdS testimony read to the Jury
after they had gone OUT, and in the absence OF
the defendants attorneys.
A committee OF the Rex organization Will be
In session at all hours during carnival week IL
the Chamber Of commerce rooms. TO hear COM
plants OF eXtortion practiced upon visitors.
Inc people who are coming here to enjoy them
selves must not be robbed with irnpunity. No
true OSdenite viii rob them.
The ice dealers of this city have raised the
prices OF that commodity, but at the advanced
price il is still cheaper than in Salt Lake city.
They claim that owing TO the increased cost CT
delivery, on account OF the growth of the city,
that the prices ut which they have been selling
LETT them no margin, but entailed an actual
loss.
Only two or three restaurants have refused
TO sign an agreement TO charge only regular
prices Tor meals curing the carnival. A Inst of
those who have signed the agreement will be
published for the Information of visitors who
viii avoid being imposed upon by patroniziug
only those whose names appear in the pub
lished list.
Ogden's population is officially declared to be
1858, and if this be correct 1t shows II gain Of
over 100 IN about Il year and half, which is "A
remarkably good showing. That the population
OF the city does not exceed Il 800 Is almost GER
tain. No one believes that the enumerators
failed TO get the names of 1,0)0 bona fide clti-
zens of Ogden. We want al that we really have
and no more, and the talk about Ogden having
population OF $4,000 is the veTiest boSh.
At least one policeman ought to patrol each
oil the streets in the city, day and night, next
week. People should not leave their houses 10
come down town. without leaving some one IN
charge, for il they do il is very probable that
thieves viii get In and steal. In such crowa
as viii be here during the carnival there viii be
more than sprinkling OF the worst class of hi

tune. Ogden will protect ner respectable viz
ltors ana her own citizens but Il VIII be well

niutuality OF interest in seeing that everything
goes On smoothly and ag1eeably.
