intoto with extraordinary diligence it is |
believed that MIR. Adams Can be brought |
through with his head on.
The leading stock on the exhange is
Utah Oil and though there has never been
barrel of petroleum produced in this ter
ritory there it lively barTer on the belief
that is peradventure may exist. In the
vernacular of the street this is specula-
ton.
The men who would give capitalists all
it asks without asking any questions like
to go with q loose rein. If the horse gets
in the ditch the devil they care.
The old secretary and new secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce have never been
very cordially disposed towards each other
and the deep creek that now separates
them cannot be bridged. Really these are
tripping" times.
1t is claimed that with Harry McCallum
at the head of the Times, the excursion bus
mess will be greatly stimulated.
Secretary Pollock goes to Bingham to-
day to worship-a mine.
j. r. Walker is not only great reader
of books, but philosopher. When gazing
into the excavation at Third South and
Main streets and watching the workmen re-
move the earth. he exclaimed How
feeble are our efforts, compared with those
of nature. 1t takes weeks of time and
thousands of dollars in money to dig this
hole, and yet it is but scratch, compared
with the immense ravines which nature
rent in single convulsion. One mountain
of stone will supply all the buildings of the
| world. l have been reading Stanley" he
said, land am impressed with the great re-
sources of that country. 1t is better
timbered and better watered than the
American continent, and some day will, no
doubt, be inhabited by the white races and
| its vast resources developed. do not be-
lieve that the sun is any hotter there than
it is in many parts of our own country"
| Miss Kingsbury has certainly reason to
feel elated over the number of prizes and
honorable mentions" she received at the
hands of art judges at the fair. While all
her work displayed intelligent effort, and
some of it considerable technical skill, the
selection of her subjects has much to do
with the awards. Sea sketches, while
common enough in point of interest,
awaken reponse of the ''wild wave'' in
every human breast, and the homely lilac
is the most companionable of ali our gar
cen flowers, and takes the s'colors" with
better effect The sWrestlers,' ,, in strength
of action, is unsurpassed, and two "Her-
cules in Combat at once attracts attention
and commands Favorable mention" from
AL -nlF c., r
able to play the role of connoisseur, | saw
more strength of beauty in the more quiet
figures of the male and female forms
drawn by J. T. Harwood. Be this as it
may, Miss Kingsbury has shown what a
superior young lady can do with her odd
moments by the genius of application.

politan, and Mr.. A E. de Ricgles are both
musicians of the classic school, and play

The corps of public school teachers has
been gamer by securing the services OF
Miss Tyner, whose fine womanly qualities
cannot but have marked effect on the
young minds that are shooting their ten
, drills into such character nutriment as
Principal Millsbaugh furnishes IN his Sc
lection OF teachers
And here l wish to say, enent the pub
, lie school teachers, that entirely too much
: reliance is placed on the text books and en-
tirely too little on strength of character
The moral instruction OF the public school!
is more absorbed than taught and the
moral growth of the school children O.
y this country Is in a great measure shaped
, by that of the teachers. Children of schoo
! age are as initiative as monkeys, and i
! their teachers would hang about on tn,
branches in a prehensile way, the pupils
I, would follow their example. II you woul(
l have your school children stand on thei
feet rather than on their heads, you mus
:, give them the right kind of character ex
! ample. But this may be introducing re
J ligion into the secular schools, a thing quit
shocking to the free school idea.
