Logan Lines.

Logan, April And still we are
looking in vain for spring, as it has
been showing all day. Our nursery
men are getting a little discouraged, as
there are quite a few kinds of seeds
that should have been planted ere this.
This kind of weather is quite a back
set to business, as a number of our
townsmen are trying to build, but prog
ress is slow.
Mr.. Gates. OF the Logan Dry Goods
company, is making fine improvements
on the r. K. Thomas block. He has
been back east and purchased a fine
stock of goods. This firm only carried
dry goods before, but they have added
hardware and groceries to their depart
ment.
Mr.. Nelson, our Third street furni-
ture man. has moved his business into
the building that was formerly occu-
pied by the Eliason sisters.
The funeral of Mrs. Beach is being
held today in the Second ward meeting
house.
Our city at present is well supplied
with gypsieS and tramps. A band of
the former camped within our borders
are trying some Of their old-time tricks
on our unsuspecting citizens. They
visit from house to house, trying to sell
their wares for old clothing, and while
the lady of the house is looking up
some of the cast-off clothing they steal
all that is lying about loose, but if,
Ferchance, they do not find anything of
value, they never seal a bargain for the
old clothes.
The next attraction here at the
Opera House will be the Salt Lake
Opera company in Patience"
The B. Y. college ball last evening
was a grand success. The A. c. boys
give one tonight. 1t is examination
week at both colleges.

BICYCLING TOURISTS.
What They May Reasonably Expect
If They Go Abroad With Their
Wheels

Washington, April 2.-Tourists intend

ing summer viii shortly be able to Sc
cure from the department of state a
copy of an exhaustive report just re-
ceived from Consul Chancellor at Havre,
giving a detailed statement of the rules
and regulations which now prevail in the
cycles and cyclists. Some of the chief
points of interest are briefly as fol-
lows:
France-A deposit of about % cents a
pound to cover the import duty must be
made which is refunded when the wheel
leaves the country. There is an annual
tax of 81 for every wheel. Wheels must
have bells and lanterns and there are
strict rules about riding. Bicycles go as
baggage on railways.
Germany-The duty is cents pound
but no deposit is required.
Austria-A deposit of $40 must be
made.
must be deposited, members of touring
clubs of France being exempt.
Denmark requires 10 per cent deposit
and Egypt per cent and in all cases. it
is essential to preserve the receipt for
deposit.
England charges no duty.
Italy compels a deposit to guarantee
against sale of the bicycle, exempting,
however the French touring club which
is a good organization to join apparently,
as it only costs 81 a year and embraces
as many advantages in Europe as the
L. A. w does in this country.
In nearly all the remaining countries
deposits are required and in Spain a
six months license, costing 20 cents, is
required.
Consul Chancellor points out that mem
bership in bicycling organizations abroad,
as at home. carries great advantages, re-
duced hoted rates and repairs and
courteous treatment generally

grammes.

joyabie.
At the Oquirrh school over 100 well

ton.

Miss Mavne, Miss Mckenzie and Miss
Carney, teachers of the school. in able
manner. and this was followed BIZ an
Informal discussion in which many of
the patrons participated, and Lille
Weimer gave a selection on the guitar,
banjo and mandolin, which added va
riety to the proceedings, and Miss
Cochler and Thomas each favored the
audience with piano selections.
A particular feature of this gather
ing, and one deserving especial mem
ton, was an able address by Mr.. j. P.
Meakin. one of the patrons He dwelt
upon the Importance of care in bringing
up children, the responsibility resting
upon parents and teachers, and the
immense good secured through follow
ing proper methods and bringing out
all that is best in the pupil. Education
was an absolute necessity. Children
should be taught from the first that all
toll is honorable. The matter of home
study deserved careful consideration;
the peculiarities of. the child should be
observed and such plans followed as
would bring about perfected manhood
and womanhood. which implied the
equal development of the mental, moral
and physical powers.

She'll dance through life's dull may

In just the self-same happy way,

In her pure heart Love reigns always.
