HOW BUSINESS is.

Yesterday, in conversation with
Postmaster Islaub, about the condi-
ton of trade and business, that gentle
man remarked that notwithstanding
the talk about hard times the post
office receipts for the year ending
March 81, were greater tran at any
time since the establishment of the
Office, with the single exception of the
year 1S91-2-the year of the boom. F."
At that time there was no free delivery
system and, consequently, the rental
from boxes was much larger.
Now, the condition of the postal
business is generally conceded to
be about the best indication
known as to prosperity amongst all
classes. 1t is the one business which
comes in direct touch with all sorts
and conditions of people. Especially
is it true of all classes, except the
wealthy, as they are more apt to use
banks for the transmission of money,
and to some extent the telegraph for
the mails. However, here in Ogden
the records of the postof1ce show that
more money was sent through the mail,
than any year except the one noted.
This certainly does not justify the
lugubrious talk about hard times,
which some people indulge in SO loud
ly and so frequently.
1t may be remembered that some
time ago, this department published a
statement from the representative of
the great commercial agencies to the
effect that business had really made a
substantial Improvement and that
much of the talk about hard times was
really due to force of habit. Further
more about two months ago men,
Der of one of the largest retail dry
goods stores in Ogden told the writer
that his company had had one of the
best trade years since it's establish
ment. Other cases might be cited to
disprove the statements being con-
tinually made that prosperity under
present conditions is impossible.

Kinney of this city, connected with
the Honduras Trading company of
New York, has just reached home af-
ter trip 10 Honduras, and brings
news of the murder of an American
named Walton E. Stalee. Mr.. Kinney
met Stalee on board a ship while bound
from New Orleans to Honduras. On
arriving at Puerto Cortes they landed
and travelled together about thirty
miles inland. Then Mr.. Kinney went
forward to the interior while Stalee was
to go into the mountains. This was in
September last.
Two weeks ago Mr. Kinney passed
through Puerto Cortes again on his
way home and there met William Lit
tie, the American consul, who informed
him that his companion on the inland
trip had been murdered Stalee was
found dead not far from Puerto Cor
tez with a bullet hole in his head. He
is supposed to have been robbed, as he
is known to have had $4,000. and this

Some commercial traveller, whose ideas
of hunor do not jibe with the dictates of
common sense, thought that it would be a
good Joke 10 pour some sort OF disinfect-
ant on the register of the Templeton yes
terday. Daley, the day clerk, noticed
shortly after that there was q, tired
glamour in the atmosphere around the
lobby, and began an investigation. In
fact every porter, bell boy, guest, bum
mer and everyone else investigated, and 1t
will go hard with the young man whose
humorous bump has become so largely
developed should he show UP at the
| hosiery within the next sixty moons.
Meanwhile Dailey's note book did duty
as register, while the real book took an
airing.

come to light as to who put out the sign

but not so.
