Bed Rock Reached.

The huge drill at the Ogden gas and oil
well is fast descending into the bowels of
the earth. Manager Goodrich has had
hopes of striking bed rock for several
months, but not until night before last did
his wishes become realized.
The drill was down 51l feet last evening.
The rock seems to be black granite and
MIR. Goodrich says there are splendid indi-
cations that natural gas will soon be
reached.

A Baseball League.

There is no reason why baseball league
should not be organized in Utah, nor why
this city should not furnish an efficient
club to form the northern end of the organ
ization. Were all the larger cities of the
territory to organize a club and arrange
ball ground where an admission fee could
be charged, the people would soon become
educated to the glories of the great national
game.

Something Must be Done.

The Bristol News says An
investment that will pay Bristol
more than the establishment Of
two iron furnances will be to
build some roads, SO that the
people can get TO town in the
winter. The people we have
are worth ten car loads apiece
of Dagos and Hungarians; let's
encourage them to stay. There
never was a town that had a
lassing prosperity with the roads
leading into il a series Of i'm
passable quagtnires.
The Lynchburg Advance says:
The same remarks are equally
applicable TO Lynchburg, for
all the thoroughfares leading
into the city have been next to
impossible for several months.
An empty wagon is about as
much load as an ordinary team
can draw on a level, while the
hills are practically ono thoro-
ughfare." The city has been
almost isolated from the out
side world all the past winter,
greatly to the injury Of busi-
ness, and Inconvenience Of the
country people.
That something must be done
to improve the roads is a self
evident proposition, unless il is
contemplated to make no fur
ther efforts in the direction Of
progress and development
IL will cost q great deal Of
money, but il could not be more
advantaneously expended.

The Farmers Behind.

ALAMANcE, March 23rd.--
Most of the tobacco planters
availed themeelves of the few
fair days of last week to burn
plant beds, and a greater sur
face than usual has been burned
mot with the expectation of
an increased acreage; but as
in most cases the land was too
wet. Each one desired to make
sure of a crop by having plants
in time; and should the month
of April be. wet, there will be
plenty of plants. Little or no
plowing has been done since
Christmas, many farmers have
not run a furrow for either corn
or tobacco, and it is already
corn planting time. New
grounds, in many instances are
not burned off. The logs for
many barns and storage rooms
are still lying IN the woods
Take it altogether, our farmers
were never known to be so back
ward with their work.

oLleago,s Mheat Exeltement.

Chicago's Wheat Excitement.
CHICAGO, March 25.--The
morning papers gives the fol-
lowing as the cause Of the pres
ent ex itement in the wheat
market here: That there are a
number Of wealthy men who
are largely interested IN May
wheat. There can be no doubt
but that their intention con-
sists Of letting go in a graceful
way Of their present hol Iings.
IL they are buyers from now on
it will simply be to run up prices
so that they can sell at higher
figures. These men have been
long on May wheat, and IN the
present state of the market they
would like to dispose of all Of
their holdings. Early in 0cto-
Der a number of brokers, acting
for these millionairs, began
buying : December wheat, and
so successful were they that be-
fore the end Of the month their
holdings ran way up into mill
lions OF bushels. Then the
financial panic came on, and it
was found impossible to sell,
SO they had to carry it over to
May.
Yesterday was the first time
these holders could see daylight.
This was the cause of heavy
sales in the pit. They have by
no means gotten rid of all their
holdings, and it is probable that
the market will be allowed to
get back to its normal condition
before any more is sold.
They are desirous of creating
the impression that an attempt
is being made to corner May
wheat. and when the prices re-
vive sufficiently they will let
the remainder of their holdings
go. If necessary they may APP
pear in the role of buyers.

Mid daisies white as curds,
And in the swaying pear and

disease, he only tipped the scale
at 293 pounds. His tusks meas
ured two inches in length. He
was always of a surly nature,
and but for the weakness shown
by all animals born in captivity
when afflicted with curvature
of the spine, would have been
much more dangerous.
For the first orty-eight hours
after he was put in his cage at
the Zoo he, fought desperately
and tried his best to break the
strong iron bars, but they prov
ed too much for him and he
sullenly quieted down when he
found himself helpless.
For the past two years Jim
has shown signs of failing
health and tuberculosis set in
with kidney trouble.
The keepers watched him care
fully, but the disease proved to
have too strong a hold and Jim
gave up the ghost. Immediate
ly after his death a number of
artists sketched
and made casts of different
portions of his body. Superin-
tendent Arthur S. Brown and
Head Keeper p. j. Byrne per-
formed a post mortem: The =
skeleton will be given to the
biological department of the
University.
This is the first one of the cat
family to die from tuberculosis.
