The Progress appeals to the express
company, in behalf of the people of
Fillmore, to locate an office here or re-
move the wouid-be agent at Juab and
put a man in there who viii attend to
business. It is outrageous the way our
people are treated by the express COM
pany or their agent at that point, and
they will certainly not stand it much
longer. We give our 4th Of July sup
plement this week Gust fourteen days
late) on account of carelessneSS on the
agents part, who let our express lay
at Juab since June 30-telling the stage
drivers that there was no express for
Fillmore We could mention several
other cases similar to ours, but is is
unnecessary If our patrons can get
any satisfaction out of our supplement
at this late date they are welcome to
it.-Millard Progress.

was passing through Springville an old
gentleman jumped off to buy some
apples. Loading himself up he attempt
ed u board the train just as it pulled
out and managed 20 grasp the wrong
rail, which came very near sending
him to kingdom come with the apples
still held tightly in his arm: The
prompt action of one of the depot en-
ployees s all that saved him.-Spring-
vile Independent.
The northern end of Sanpete was
the scene of an uncommon atmospheric
phenomena on the 18th instant. High
above the mountains on the west of
North Bend appeared a tremendous
slack cloud having the shape of an
inverted pyramid, about mile long
and a half a mile wide. Out of the
soWer center angle of the cloud, when
about a mile from the ground a fun
nelshaped water spout descended and
within what seemed thirty feet from
the crest of the mountain seemed to
burst the center, having the appear
ance Of an aerial mirage. The sharp
crest OF the mountain divided the
water, thus providentially prevent
ing a disastrous inundation of the vail
ley below.-SpriLgvill Independent.
