THE HACK ORDINANCE.
1T WAS APPROVED BY MAYOR
GLENDINNING YESTERDAY.
Public Vehicles Must Now Have
Their Licenses Exposed to Public
View.

Mayor Glendinning yesterday APP
proved the ordinance passed last Tues
day evening and relating to licenses for
hacks and vehicles of other descriD-
tions. The new measure requires every
outside so the license collector can de-
termine whether the permit has expired
or not.
The ordinance in full is as follows:
Section BE it ordained by the city
council Of Salt Lake City, state of
Utah, that section 81 of chapter % of
the revised ordinances of 1892 be
amended so as to read as follows: "All
drays. trucks, vans, express and job
hacks, omnibusses, or other public
passenger vehicles of any description
or name whatsoever, licensed as here
inbefore provided, shall have the Ii
cense number framed and covered with
glass and securely attached to the We
hicle on the right hand side thereof in
SUCH manner as to be exposed to pub
lie view.
Section THAT section A of chapter
% OF the revised ordinances of 1892

amy person licensed as aforesaid US
ing wagon, cart or other vehicle of
any description or name whatsoever,
in the business of peddling or hawking,
shall have the license number therefor
framed and covered with glass and Sc
,cureIy attached to the vehicle on the
right hand side thereof in such manner
as to be exposed TO public view"
Section 3-All ordinances and parts
thereof in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed.
An ordinance similar to the above
has been tried in many other cities
and turned out to be a miserable fall
ure. The operation of it here, viii be
watched with some interest though the
present outlook is not particularly en-
couraging.

LEHI NEWS NOTES.
Sheep Shearing the Principal Bust
ness-Good Beet Crop.

Lehi Banner: Shearing sheep, selling
and hauling wool has been the princi-
pal business in this section for some
time and local sheepmen have been
kept pretty busy, as the wool buyers
would not give them rest until the
wool was disposed of. Last year there
was a strong disposition to hold it for
an advance over the miserable price
offered and wool buyers were about as
scarce as hens teeth; but conditions
have changed this year and the sheep
men are selling the wool now. Quite
a number of teams have been engaged
hauling it from the shearing corrals
to the railroad. Up to the present
there has been nine cars shipped over
the o. S. L. and three cars have gone
over the r. G.. w, making a total of
u cars from Lehi. Counting on $4,000
pounds to the car, this means 2SS, 900
pounds at IL cents per pound (many
have got more) shows that $31 $50 will
be brought into this district from wool
alone. This is not all for there is more
yet TO ship and considerable has been
hauled to Provo by team.
Never since the sugar factory started
has the prospects for an excellent beet
crop been better. They are coming up
and the fields in the various districts
are looking fine. Mr.. Austin goes north
today to inspect the fields in those
districts.
Some old settlers say that there are
more seagulls around this spring than
for many years.

Ogden, May G.

The G. A. r. fair was an attractive
place yesterday and good many more
tickets were sold. Nevertheless it
looks as though the merchants have
been more liberal in donating presents
than the public generally is in patron
izing the fair. A large list of costly
prizes, ranging in value from 500
down, are on exhibition at Thomas
hall and some scores of people are to
be made happy ct the final drawing
tonight. Yesterday the zouave drill BY
Il young girls in costume was given
in the afternoon and again in the
evening. This bill is without doubt
one of the prettiest of drills ever seen
in Ogden. The 'zouaves' marched
entirely unaided by music and went
through the most intricate evolutions.
The girls participating under the direc-
ton of Colonel Lew Ginger are: Edna
Webb, Pearl Snyder, Pearl Taylor,
Lulu Stevens, Daisy Huss, Bessie Gar

Provo, May 5.-Pearl Esther Dongan,
a we'll known Utah actress residing IN
SpringviIle, came before Judge Dusen-
berry, this morning and secured df-
Vorce from William c. Dongan, who
is by profession an actor, and plays
the parts of heavy villain. From the
evidence produced in court Dongan is
very successful as a villain in real life,
having committed almost every Of
tense against 1he wife Of his bosom that
could be committed without actually
taking her life. 1t was in the year 1891
THAI Miss Esther gave her heart and
hand TO Dongan, and they were mar
ried IN Denver. For some time they
played together in the same company,
but he soon manifested signs of dissl-
patton, and became very neGlectful,
spending his time in saloons, gambling
houses and houses of ilI-fame. Several
times he struck Mrs. Dongan, one
blow leaving a scar upon her face.
Three years ago last December, the
woman was deserted and the heavy
villain has not so much as written TO
inquire about her health, which was in
a precarious state.
Summons mas been published in Titan
and Chicago and Omaha, and San
likely TO be found, but has never been
answered. He was seen about one year
ago in Salt Lake City by Miss Ruby
Ether, but suddenly disappeared A
little sunnY-haired boy of 3 summers
is the result of the marriage.
The decree awards TO the plaintiff
the custody of the child, s25 per month
alimony and $50 attorneys fees. A. q.
Sutherland represented the plaintiff.
