The athletic association which was
recently formed in Provo had their
opening night last evening. when the
well furnished hall on I street was
thrown open. The society is in a
prosperous and flourishing condition
and bids fair to do good among the
younger men of the community.
A SCANDINAVIAN conference from all
parts OF the state is being held in the
Utah stake tabernacle today. Apostle
John Henry Smith is in attendance.
NOT THAT KIND.
Whatever else may be said, this is
true: The Heraldfs Provo correspon-
dent never promised to be at the drug
store" in order to keep out of the
penitentiary. Did the alleged editor
OF the alleged newspaper ever do
so in order that his 200 pounds Of beef
he carries around, be kept out of Jail?
Let the people Of Provo judge.
