rest were brought down from Mon
tana and inferred in the Brigham City
cemetery. The deceased was daugh-
ter of Robert K. Wilson, saloonkeeper
of Brigham. She was married to Mr.
Forrest about a year and half ago.
Mr.. Forrest was formerly a Brigham
boy, but for several years has been
laboring liz the mines of Montana. A
few months ago he took his young
bride back with him, expecting to re-

a few days later her spirit followed ner
little ones into that unknown kingdom
beyond the river The SorrowlnS rela-
tiVes are generally sympathlzed with.

OF the Oldest inha oitanJs of this city,

Sunday evening OF heart trouble The
terrible news came so suddenly and
Unexpectedly that several of the grown
daughters were completely unnerved
and Frustrated by the shock. The ser
vices Were held at the family residence
ana few except the nearest relatives
were present. There was a profuSlon OF
bautitui fresh flowers. Apostle Frank
ling D. Richards delivered the funeral
smoke nearly hOlT. Of
ferinS many kind words of encourage

The years 1865 viii always be known
in the history of Brigham City as the
pioneers death year, for during these
two years more deaths have taken
place among the old folks than probably
any ten preceding years. The older ele-
ment has been passing OF at sur
prisingly rapid rate, so much so, that
it seemed almost to have become in
fectious. Sweet peace and rest TO the
sacred ashes of all our tried and proven
gray haired old fathers anr mothers
who have been called to sleep beneath
the sod.
Wednesday the county commissioners
were in session in Brigham City. Dur
ing that day they made history for
themselves and Brigham City. 1t seems
that some TOUR or five years ago a
movement was set on foot and success
fully generated through, so that cur
town had been divided into four school
districts almost before the people were
aware OF it. But the people soon saw
the mistake. The movement of reunit-
ing the districts into one has been gain
ing strength ever since until recently
a petition signed by 352 residents OF
Brigham was presented to the county
court, asking to have the school dis
tricts united. Monday the court grant
ed the request. The following trus-
tees for the town were there appointed:
c. Hoist, .. n. Stohl and Mrs. Marie
Forsgen. The other nine trustees were
thus done away with and ordered to
deliver ali moneys, properly, etc, IN
their possession over TO the new board
In order 20 pay off the existing indebt-
ednesS, as an incident TO the consol-
idation, a special school tax was as
sessed in the four former districts each
wear for seven years as follows: First
ward Fourth DISTRICT 31a mills; Sec
ond ward, So mills; Third ward, S12
mills; Fourth ward, "a mills
This is considered by the educators Of
the town as a noteworthy and lmpor-
tant move in the direction OF securing
a good central school system for the
city.
This week saw married at the Salt
Lake temple, j. NJ. Jensen, jr., son Of
ex-Mayor Joseph Nj. Jensen and wife Of
this city, and Miss Roena Haws, dauSh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Haws of Bear River

Renewed interest is being taken in
the mines in and around this section;
from the promising claims in the west
ern part of the county to the once no.
torious camp Of La Plata on the east.
The mines four miles north Of Brigham
and the mines at Willard are also re-
ceiving their quota of attention.
The Democratic county convention of
Box Elder will be held in the court
house tomorrow and a lively time is
looked for There are lots OF nominal
tions TO he made and lots of good. re-
rnunerative Offices to be filled. There
are lots of candidates mentioned and
lots of them will get left, but on the
whole il looks as though it will be a
good natured fight; that the victorious
ones will modestly accept the victory,
while the defeated will as good humor-
edly swallow the lump of defeat; turn
right over and work zealously for the
election of their more successful oppo-
nents A united Democracy only means
success this fail: if it is not so, the
party win go down TO defeat
About election time the Republicans
of this county are usually in a pickle,
but this fall their pickle is such a whop-
per that they are fairly paralyzed. The
silver question has completely upset
them. They are in great doubt of mind
as TO whether they are really standing
politically on their feet or poised on
their heads. They have become so used
TO shouting for silver and that the
only hope for silver was in the Re
publican party, that it is painful for
them to give up this catchy phrase and
acknowledge The real situation in favor
of Democracy. Their aspirants for
office are dreadfully mum on the silver
question. They are afraid to commit
themselves either way. They are wait
ing 10 see how things turn up. But
when the pinch comes they are sure
TO trampie down all their former plat
forms an dvote straight for Mckinley
and his yaller dog.
