NEPEHTo
A KELLEY PATIENT.


The following letter was recently handed
to your correspondent, with the request
that it be published in the Nephi depart
ment of The HERALD:
AS so many of my friends are curious to
know how the famous Kelley treatment IS
acting upon me, have decided to answer
some OF their numerous queries through
the columns of TEE HERALD.
Yes, 1t Is positive fact that George
Hickman has been permanently cured of
the appetite of strong drink" and, strange
as it may seem, l now have positive ao-
horrence for even the smell OF intoxicating
liquors. In less than forty eight hours
after | entered the institute in Salt Lake
city, the appetite for liquor mad been sub
dued. and l felt for the first time in many
q long year that had been freed from the
clutches of the most fierce and merciless
prosecutor known 10 the human family
My health, too, was greatly imp owed dur
ing the tlme of treatment, and after had
been there one week many OF my most in
innate friends who visited me declared
that, in looks, l had grown ten years
younger during that short period-
| was allowed to go when and where
chose and as had many old friends in the
city it 10 needless to add that | was often
thrown IN the path OF my old enemy
(iquor) but as his power over me was for
ever broken | met him with feelings OF
contempt which were beyond my power to
conceal.
There were about forty men from var
ious parts of the territory taking the treat
ment during my stay at the Institute and
among these not one was TO be found but
who felt that henceforth he was to be a
new man. There the best of feelings pre-
vailed the whole time. l never heard ga
unkind word spoken during my three
weeks stay Beardless youths and middle
aged and gray-haired men enjoyed them
selves together and talked of their future
lives as # all felt that kind Providence had
rolled back the wheels of time that all
might don the garb of youth and together
work for the salvation of fallen friends
until the world shall be rescued from the
power Of the liquor fend.
DR.. Kelley has indeed given the world
q boon for which every lover CT temper
ance and virtue will yet be sincerely
thankful. w. G. HICKMAN.
THE wATERwoRKs.
Work on the city water mains still con-
tinues and completion OF the two and
half mile extension is being pushed by all
the energy possessed by 100 0rawny labor
ing men.
Councillor Hyde's resolution instructing
the superintendent of water works to hire
none but bona fde residents mas been car
ried out to the letter, with the result that
our taxpayers feel that they have but cast
their ''bread upon the waters" and that it
has already returned unto them.
Since the extension of the water mains
began, dealers in service pipes, hydrauts,
hose, lawn sprinkIers, ETC., have had
veritable boom.
THE PUBLIC SPILLS.
The action of the city council in closing
up all the public spills is freely condemned
by citizens who live away from the water
mains. They MAINTAIN that it is better to
benefit a hundred families through the use
of two or three spills, than to prohibit
dozen families who live on the mains from
getting water free.
KICKING REPUBLICANS.
Our Republican friends all seem to be
terribly down in the mouth since the
Minneapolis convention got its work in.
A few of them ''kic6n because the Lbs
were admitted, but the most of them en-
phaticelly object to the fungus upon
''grandfather's hat" They had fondly
hoped that the leaders OF the G. o. p. had
long since completed their feast upon an
pointmeuts and served by Presbyterian
writers, but it seems they have been cruelty
deceived. One prominent Republican was
heard to remark just after the news ar
rived eff l had vote l would surely
cast it against that combination. The
Democrats will have an easy victory this
year"
