LIFE IN TOWN.
The appearance of our streets this m orn-
ing is one of notable life and activity. The
opening Of court as we'll as the large beyy
OF men who are beginning work for Rhodes
Brothers on the water mains, has a tend
ency to lnfuse considerable life into the
town..
A PRACTICAL JOKE.
Considerable hilarity is exhibited over
the Initiation OF Mr.. Dugdale of the En-
qlLtrer to the Travelling Mems association
over in Tintic. He was put thro Ugh a Sc
we're course of evolutions which he will re-
member for many days. This Enquirer
man is not the witty portion of the staff
and Is unaccustomed to practical joking.
ATTRACTIONS.
Theatre goers are disappointed at the
non arrival of Lewis Morrison. He is a
favorite with Provo people and would have
drawn crowded house. There will he a
lull in amusements until SATURDAY. when
Forepaugh's circus will take possession of
the town There will be people from an
far as southern Utah to witness the per-
Torrance and the combine alton will I'M
doubtedly relieve this section of country of
considerable amount of bullion. There
is strong counter attraction, however in
the appearance of Keene at the Opera
house whom the people are very DESTROYS
Of seeing.
A FUNERAL JOKE.
The joke is out on Leet, of Stephens 4,
Leet, the undertakers, and if any one saws
'cadayers" in his presence 1t must DE with
all eyes open. Last week be took notion
to try matrimony for change, so armed

he took unto himself q wife. gave q nice
lat home" social, and after all the guests
had gone, retired as he supposed to rest.
but There's no rest for the wicked.n nor
undertakers either, 1t seems. He had lust
fallen into comfortable dose when a loud
ring was heard, in response to which word
came that death had just occurred at the
asylum and required his immediate
presence. Suspecting nothing, Leet hastily
prepared to respond, and on arriving at the
livery stable to get his horse, made the
appalling discovery that he was the victim
of joke. Well, of course, he was a little
wrathy; but not satisfied with this, another
man came and disturbed him again soon
after, and required his services at the side
of his deceased child. Throw him into
the street," 81 won't Gomez and other
pleasant commentaries were showered on
the applicant, who turned away with CON
siderable surprise (as Mr.. Leet is well
known to be most efficient and sympa-
thetic gentleman), remarkiug: ssAll right:
L guess can get some one else.!'
After this Leet was disturbed no mora
until morning, when he learned to his dis
may that his last applicant was most sor-
rowfully in earnest, and Notwithstanding
the apologies and explanations made.
Murry stephens and Leet have lost their
nrst Gus toner and Leet feels like hiring a
small boy 10 get step ladder and kick
him.

THE UNION PACIFIC DEPOT
The Union Pacific depot has just had a
new coat of paint and a reshingling-a
much needed Innovation, as it was getting

very inferior depot for city of Provo's
