The Evening dispatch. [volume] (Provo, City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1894-03-17

OSCAR YOUNG went to Salt Lake this
morning to be in attendance upon the
funeral services over the remains of
his sister, Mrs. Spencer Clawson, whose
death was announced in these columns
the other day.
SOME over $4,000 was taken in at
the box office yesterday for the Sousa
engagement. A large number of peo-
pie were present from Payson, SPRING
vile and Spanish Fork.
Mr.. PARKER of Salt Lake, director
of the union band, came down yesteT-
day to hear the Sousa concert and ac-
company the band on their way to the
capital, where an imposing reception
awaited them.
GARDENING was the order of the day
Yesterday, but this morning 1t looked
as though we would get some sleigh
riding. Now we. have mud, and ga.
loshes and slikers are in demand at the
stores.
a vERK creditable appearance was
made by the Provo choir, and also the
children with flags at thd Sousa con-
cert, and they did some admirable
work. Prof. Giles is well deserving of
the many compliments he has received
for the good work he did.
THE opera house management an
| nounces as its next attraction, Ellie
Ellsler, and actress who commands the
esteem and admiration, not only of the
regular habltues of the threatre, but
also OF that portion of the public that
| is seen there only on rare occasions.
Miss Ellsler also occupies high posi-
ton in dramatic circles, the result of
many admirable performances, but as
Doris, the heroine of Robert
Drouet's play Of that name, she is cred
tied with surprising all previous eff
forts. A recent criticism says: The
third act is very powerful, almost great
in conception. 1t is here Miss Ellsler
reaches higher level of sustained
power than she has ever been seen to
attain before. Her work is triumph
and the few greatest actresses OF the
French and English speaking threatres
could not much, if at all, excel her
work In this exceedingly strong scene"
The play is also spoken of very highly
and the company, with Frank Weston,
Robert Drouet and G. w. Couldock is a
very strong one.
THERE is move on now that is
bound to result III vast amount of
good to the farmers and producers of
this county. 1t is the organization of
fruit and agricultural society. The
idea of forming such an organization
as this has been uppermost in the
MINDS of T. j. Covert and some Others
for a long time now, and during the
past week or SO Mr.. Covert has ap-
preached very many of the Provo
farmers aDd his proposition has met
with hearty and warm approval. AS
a result of his work already has forty
or fifty of ProYo's prominent farmers
signed a roll signifying a desire to join
such an organization. A desire to
make the organization county affair
has been parellel with the desire for
organization and a notice for a meet
| ing to be held in Provo on March 9th
has been drafted and is now published,
1t can be seen elsewhere in this paper.
To undertake to state only briefly the
many benefits to be derived from
such an organization would take
column after column of space. United
efforts that would be effectual could be
taken to improve all crops and to in
crease the output, Through the organ
lzation the best cash markets could
also be found. Canning factories,
creameries, sugar factories and numer-
Gus other industries could be establish
ed and maintained and in many other
ways could the farmers and producers
be benefited.
