better attended than the matinee. The
lecture given by Madam Won Finkels.ein
Mountford no doubt drew heavily on
our theater goers for some sixty persons
went from here to Provo TO hear that

home company but it Is no indication
that the people have grown tired OF them
by any means When the curtain was
raised a little after. eight O'Clock satul-
day night the stage presented the
prettiest scenery to view ever beheld in
the opera house. 1t was tastefully ar
ranged and most artistically painted
causing all the Environments 20 appear
in pleasing and different light, aud it
with pleasure that we state that Mr.
Elvers has shown much taste and design
which indicates that he is a master hand
at his business. The rendering OF the
play was in keeping with the home com.

Should the Utah legislature decide to
place the statue OF Brigham Young in
the rotunda of the capitol at Washing
ton, there will be no reasonable ground
for objection. Brigham Young would
stand in bronze or marble in the capitol
as the pioneer and founder of Utah. He
led not a handful of hunters and trap
pers, but great army Of men, women
and children into distant desert and
built there an abiding city and surroun-
ded it with fertile fields, one OF the most
remarkable feats of settlement and COL
onizatlon ever performed by man. After
this Brigham Young served, not by the
voice OF the Mormon Church, but by the
commission OF the United States, for
years as governor OF the territory. The
historical reasons why Brigham Young's
statue should not stand in the capitol
for Utah outweighs any conceivable
moral reasons against it.-Kansas City
