Theoretically sealed-for the present at
least. Up to date no arrangements have
been MADE for the future management,
although everything seems to point TO an
early settlement and D. II. Perry, jr.,
assuming control. No decision which
could be arrived at would give greater sat-
isfaction to the theatre going public of
Ogden and under Mr.. Perry's manage
ment the Grand would beyond doubt be-
come what it has never yet been-a first
class house. No other person in Ogden
possesses the peculiar ability-and cash
necessary to pull the theatre out of the
very deep hole into which it has fallen.

There was rumor to the effect that the
Union Pacific contemplated lengthening
the time on trains between here and the
river. The local officials sifted the rumor
down and found there was nothing to it,
and that if any change is made it will be
in the other direction, as the trains are

he would have told you that the first volume OF
the latest edition Of the Encyclopedia Britain

FOR EIGHT MONTHs
ANSWERS.

( It is very simple matter We have arranged
! with the Publishers of the Americanized Enjoy
! clopsedia Britannica to take large quantity OF
this work of their hands, thus securing remark
ably low price as well as singularly easy terms.
| We propose to give the whole advantage OF this
transaction to our subscribers, and offer to de-
liver the entire set of the Americanized Encyclos
pSed1a Britannica on payment of $500 and your
signing contract to pay $3.50 month for 10
months. $50 In all. This offer is made only in
connection with years subscription to this
paper at regular subscription rates.
Just SO. But you see, in these days ofsteam
and electricity, and labor-saving machinery,
great deal can be done for eight cents day, es-
pecielly when twenty or thirty thousand people
club their money and each puts his eight cents
| into common stock.
You can Be thankful that you didn't accept
his offer, If you'd done so and seen the Ameri-
cani2ed edition afterward you would have felt
like kicking yourself. Isuppose your canvass-
ing friend told you that the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica was simply the most complete work OF
its kind eyer published?
So it is; ne was right enough so far It's Q
monumental work and cost more than a million
dollars to get up. But there are spots on the
sun, you know, and there are defects even IN the
Encyclopedia Britannica. Did he mention TO
You that you might look for Ulysses S. Grant
| IL it and not find word about him?
OF course he was, or pretty nearly SO. But
the Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't mention
him for all that. And it doesn't say word
about Sherman either, nor about Sheridan, nor
Hancock, nor Blaine, nor Cleveland, nor Harri-
son, nor Harriet Beeoher Stowe, nor Julia Ward
Howe, nor Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, nor Charles
Stewart Parnell, nor Bismarck, nor JEFF Davis,

Editor Rhodes was seen tonight by a
HERALD representative and denied that
any changes were impending. Two of
the owners stated, however, that every
thing is not on satisfactory basis and
they have decided to take the paper. The
