COMPLIMENTS OF R. $. HINES.
The Boys of the Fire Department and
Scores of Friends Enjoy Grand Ball.

1t will be a long time before the
Provo Volunteer fremen forget the
grand reception and ball accorded them
by our well known and esteemed citi-
zen, r. S. Hines, which took place last
evening at the Southworth hall.

of the department were clad in elegant
new uniforms and made a striking ap-
peaTance as they meandered about the
dance hall. Their coats are Of dark
navy blue trimmed with velvet and
gold with white collars and cuffs.
Chief Withers, of course, displayed a
uniform more attractive than the 9th
ers and was one of the gayest of the
throng of dancers. L. S. GlaZier, D.
R. Beebe and II. J. Maiben of the fire
department were not present, being
away from home, but they were re-
membered. Z, E Thurman was de-
tanned at home, one of his children be-
ing sick. D. LoveleSs was on duty at
the station house. Brereton, A. Love-
less and VIM, Beck were also absent
for reasons unknown to the reporter.
The wives and sweethearts of the fire
ladies were all there and scores of
warm friends,
1t was soon after s o'clock when the
Coleman orchestra played the first
piece and the crowd gathered rapidly
until nearly two hundred people were
participating in the seductive whirl.
Among them were Mayor Lafayette

Willing to Work.

The people of Manitou were entertain
ed the other day by the spectacle of man
carrying stone around a triangular
track, letting it drop and shouldering it
again at every turn. The performer was
man who has reputation for disin-
clination to labor, and the incident was
the outcome of a wall he was making
about the hard times and his inability to
get work. A citizen told him he would
not work if he got the chance and offered
him so cents an hour as long as he would
carry the stone. To the surprise of all,
he accepted the offer and held out for five
hours. A large crowd gathered to watch
the performance.-Denver Republican.

The gold scare as Nephi is not o.
huge Dimensions although there is g
whole mountain of the stone in which
the gold is found. Some two or three
years ago John w. MorehOuse, well
known in many circles, had an assay
made of the sand stone located just at
the mouth and on the west side of the
left fork of Salt Greek canyon some
five or six miles from the town of
Nephi, and Immediately on the line of
the Sanpete Valley railway. Parties
who have been through the canyon will
perhaps remember the needles" lust
below the jenkins rock salt beds. ANY
piece of that sand stone will assay in
the neighborhood of $500 per ton in
gold. The GOLD can be washed out but
is exceedingly fine and light and diff
cult to save. AT the time MOrehouse
had the assay made IL was thought
there was not gold enough in the rock
to pay for working. This winter there
has been SO much talk of the cyanide
process and other cheap ways Of work
ing gold ore that prospectors have gone
again to tnat location bent upon in
yestigatlng and ascertaining whether
or no the rock cannot be worked pro-
itably. VIM. II. Hyde was among
the first to go. He dug into the side

A New Use for Bicycles.

Shullsburg Pick and Cad.
Bicycles evidently have other uses
than for mere pleasure riding. On
Monday last horse belonging to
Johr March became frightened at the
sudden collapse of one of the wheels
of the buggy to which it was hitched
and ran away, up Judgment street,
dragging the buggy with the three re-
naming wheels. Messrs. John =.
Williams and Dell Blackstone mount
ed their bicycles and pursued the flee
ing animal, which they captured after
it had run some distance. The Misses
March and Vickers who occupied the
buggy at the time of the accident, es-
capped without injury, but the buggy
was badly demolished. We suggest
that the city council organize corps
of bicyclers for rescuing purposes.

LOCAL PRETS POINTS
Stricken with Paralysis.

Lancaster Herald.
Mr.. Hugh A. Moore, one of the old
est and most widely known citizens of
this county was stricken with paraly-
sis last Friday afternoon. The entire
right side was affected and he was de-
p-ived of the use of his right arm and
limb, but these have so far recovered
their strength that he can again use
them to some extent. He was also
deprived of the power of speech and
is not yet able to talk with anyone.
There now seems to be no immediate
danger, but in cases of paralysis seri-
Gus results are always to be feared.

Moral Reform.

BY The Mineral Point W. c, I. L,
The Law and Order League of
Connecticut has now local branches in
about fifty cities and towns in the
state. They are directing their efforts
mainly against Illicit liquor sellers. y
plan has been perfected for organizing
into a single body all the temperance
and church societies of the state for
the purpose of suppressing vice.
Woman'S cause which is also mans,
is marching on in "Old Kentucky" rs
in every other state. The Governor
has signed the Husband and Wife bill,
giving married woman owning
property apart from her husband,
power to transact all business connect
ed Herewith, as if she We're single
woman. The new law also makes
eurtesy and dover equal for husband
and wife. In fact it gives the women
of that state all, that for six years
they have been asking of the legisla-
ture. With such encouragement from
their chivalrous law makers, the
women of kentutky will, we hope,
ask, Oliver Twist like, for more.

continue his active crusade against

what of Womnn.s Future.

Several scientists have recently written
articles to prove that within a century
women will be taller. heavier and strong
er than men, and that the position to-
ward women that men have occupied in
the past will be almost reversed. The
developments Of the last half century do
TO a certain extent point in the direction
Of this theory. IL is not 50 many years
since the sight of a woman walking with
man shorter than herself attracted at
tentiOn 50 much that both the short man
and the tall woman were reluctant to ap-
pear in public. Now the sight is so COM
mon that on auv fashionable thorough
fare many if not half, the women are tall
er than the men.
The modern girl has none of the bad
habits of the modern man. She does not
drink cocktails. smoke incesSant ciga-
rettes play poker uneil all hours of the
night and engage in the modern forms Of
dissipation. She is too closely watched
for that. The system Of advanced chap
eronage holds her, as l. does the French
girl in a close, watchful grip, which does
not relax until after matrimony. But on
the man no such restraints are thrown.
He is loose 10 look after himself at an

1t is true that this process has its effect
on young married women in the sudden

change Of life which it brings to them,
but by that time their physical habits are
formed. and they have their growth.-St.

Prof. J. W. Spencer says that the first
conjecture as to the age of Niagara Falls
was made by Andrew Ellicott in 1890. Eli

of the falls as $500 years. All of these
estimates were pure c0njectures, but they

fails, says that a little stream draining
the Erie basin once fell about 200 feet
from the brow Of the Niagara eScarpment.
This stream was not over one-fOurth the

sequently eXcavated the gorge at a much
slower rate than at present. During the
early history of the river the waters of
the three upper lakes emptied through the
Huron basin by way of the Ottawa river
The hight of the falls increased several
times. The first episode, represented by q
small river falling 200 feet lasted 1.0OO
years Then the hight of the falls was
increased to 400 feet, and took the drain
