BRIGHAM BRIEFS.

The Home Dramatic club, of Salt Lake
city will appear here Saturday, April 10
and %. This will be treat to the people
of Brigham City.
There is considerable sickness among the
children just now, whooping cough being
the principal complaint Several deaths
have occurred.
If everyone eligible for life insurance in
our town is not insured it is not for the
lack or scarcity of agents, as the town has
been well supplied with that class lately.
George L.. Graehl, jr., our city recorder,
had rather painful experience on Monday
afternoon. One OF Mr.. q s neighbors made
tFe to burn up some rubbish, and the
children crowded around to see the blaze,
ana Mr.. Graehl's little girl got too close,
her dress being igpited by the fire. George
hearing the CHILDREN screaming ran out to
see the cause, ana bsheld his daughter ali
IN blaze. With rare presence of mind he
succeeded in putting out the fire. The
child's clothes were burned and part of her
hair. In putting out tins fire George burned
his hand severely.
On Wednesday evening a number of our
business men met at the county court
house to consider the question of organic
ing board of trade for Brigham. E. A.
in
waite secretary of the meeting. After
talking the subject over, the following
committees were appointed: Rules and reg
ulations-A. II. Snow, M. L. Snow and
j. H. Smurthwaite; mem bership- w. a.
Wade, j. b. McMaster, Wen Horsley and
L. L. Price. Another meeting was called
for next Wednesday evening to hear these

city.
Last Friday our city council met and
passed resolution on bonding this city for
putting in g system OF w&terworks. This
resolution Yves passed in accordance to
sc Miners decree bonding the city for
S24, OO0 Judge Miner examined the reso-
luton, and as it complied with his decree,
dissolved the injunction.
On Monday ths city council met again
and finished up some of their preliminary
work on the waterwork system. All the
pipe has been ordered.
David james, OF Salt Lake city, will have
charge of the construction. The digging
CT the trenches will undoubtedly commence
next week This means Considerable
money spent here the next faw mon this,
which will be of considerable benefit to
our merchants, which means a general
benefit to the whole town.
There has been considerable agitation
created by certain parties in this city on
this waterworks system. These certain
parties have got certain grip on certain
| newspaper in this town, and these certain
parties are very careful to paint every
thing and everybody connected with the
waterworks question, blacker than HaGes
is presumed to be. Theae same parties
seem TO thiRk that no one has any brains
or intellect except those who think as they
do. To one of these certain parties we
wish to say that there Is an cid adage
(Which is also true one) that reads some
thing like this: People who live ia glass
houses should never throw stones" He
should also remember that certain things
like chickens come home to roost"
GIVE would not mention This matter, but
as falseheo and misrepresentation have
gone forth from our town in various ways,
we know of no better medium to correct
the same than through the columns of THE
HERALD. A certain party here who has
had considerable of grip on the people in
the past, and WHOSE record is rumored not
to be spotlsss white, IS accusing certain
parties OF combining for their own welfare
TO the loss of our city, or, in plain terms,
OF combining to make money out of the
system of wat rworks.
The characters of the mon accused by
this pusedo man will be held in esteem
while the latter's will be hid in the dust of
oblivion.
A Joke was played upon our genial
sheriff, G. c. Lovslaud, and Policeman
Alex Bair last Tuesday evening. While 8
joke is all right In it's place, we depreoate
such actions where there is liability OF
serious results occurring from the sans.
We do not think 1t right and just In speak
ing of the affair, because sr eftlcer nay be
Little excited 10 accuse him OF cowardica
when his past career disproves IL.
Reports coming la from the different
mining camps Of Box, Rtdsr county are
