OahIahu IuDllc ScnOOl Enterta1nmen t.
The public school entertainment
given on last Friday and Saturday
evenings in STARTERS Opera House
was grand success in every particu-
lar. The attendance was large and
all present expressed themselves de-
lighted. Our people are still talking
about it,
Long before the hour of opening
eager throngs of people were seen
pouring into the opera house. 1t
can be truly said that our schools
are the pride of our town.
There was not single failure in
the numbers of thes program from
first to last. Every department of
the school was representation the
pretty little tots in the primary
department to the pretty young
ladies and handsome young gentle
men in the high school. We never
witnessed prettier scenes than the
drills. Every movement was grace
full, showing clearly that thorough
work had been done. Surely great
credit is due both teachers and pupils.
Enough money was realized to pay
for a new organ for the use of the
school. Prof. Sanner has filed a re-
ceipt for payment in full with the
secretary of the school board. After
paying for the organ there is enough
money yet in his hands to secure
books to the value of twenty dollars
for the school library.
We publish in full the programs as
rendered:

istered at the Clerks office in the
presence of few attaches and one or
two friends of the new Mayor.

chamber His Honor the Mayor ad
ministered the official oath to Messrs.
Austin Brown, George l.. Bosley and

ly elected as members of the Town

lions and are thoroughly competent

The Mayor, shortly after the orga,.
nization of the Council, sent in the
name of Mr.. Frank Coddington as

rejected. The Mayor then sent in
the name of Mr. William Hinebaugh

held under advisement by the

There are number of applicants for
the position, among them being

1t was proposed at the meeting
Monday night that a night police be
employed at salary of $35 per month,
whose hours for service will be be-
tween 6 p. m, and a. IN, and that
two time clocks be installed in differ
ent sections of the town where the

the same as the night officer, $35 per
month, and the hours for service will

The current number of the Noun
tam NeaOS contains the following
notes of improvements made and
being made at Mountain Lake Park:
Joseph Rembold is hauling lumber
to his lots, on the corner of Baltimore
avenue and H street. The erection
of a two-story house on this lot will
improve greatly that section of the
Park.
The past year or two six or seven
houses have been erected on and
north of Baltimore avenue. For a
time the building conferred about the
Auditorium. But now houses are
being built all over the Park.
The Johnson cottage is undergoing
such a transformation that it will
not be recognized as the same place.
P. T. Cartwright is doing good work
in remodeling this cottage. 1t will be
twice the size of the old house.
Philadelphia avenue from G to l
street has been very much improved
by grading, laying off cutters, put
ting in culverts and filling several
low places. Oak street has also been
much improved, especially opposite
the Mumford cottage. The trees
that stood in the street have been
removed. H street, between Balti-
more and Philadelphia avenues, has
also been put in attractive shape.

An Afflicted Family.

The hand of affection has been
heavily laid upon the family of Mr..
and Mrs. William g. Barrick, of near
Elk Garden, West Va. Death has en-
tered the home and in the short space
of ten days borne away three of their
children. Their deaths occurred in
the following order March 10, Car
roll, aged five years, two months and
one day; March 49, Robert, aged three
years, two months and one day; March
%, Mabel, aged one month. The two
boys died of diphtheria. Mr.. Barrick
is well and favorably known in the
vicinity of his home and the commun-
ity sympathizes deeply with the
afflicted family. Three of their bright
est eatherly treasures have gone to
that land from which none return.
II take these little lambs,'' said he,
'And lay them in my breast;
Protection they shall find in me,
In me be ever blest.

would like every voter here, when he
goes home tonight, to reflect upon the
situation and decide for himself what
substantial benefit can possibly accrue
TO the people of the state through the
election Of B. H. Roberts.
Another thing I desire to allude to
in my contact with the people l have
found in some quarters an impression
that the dominant church had in Some
way committed itself to the candidacy
of the Democratic nominee, and that
the adherents of that church would
stultify themselves if they voted
against HMM other words, that a
vote against Roberts is vote against
principle vote against the church.
But such cannot be the case, because
the question of poiyganly is not on
trial-that fight has been fought long
ago, and was settled by the manifesto,
and if the principle promulgated by the
recent manifesto of the church with
reference TO church discipline is meant,
a vote for Roberts is no vindication of
that principle, as the state and church
are absolutely separate-so declared by
the constitution, and no man has a
right to seek for vindication of q re-
ligious principle through the suffrages
Of the people of the state. The state
and church are utterly disassociated,
and it is declared in the constitution
that they shall ever remain so. To vote
for the Democratic candidate for con-

Railway Notes.

General Agent Choate of the Union
Pacific left for the east last night.
Traffic Manager Babcock is now in
Chicago. 1t is not known just when
he will be home.
The Short Line is doing heavy bust
ness in transporting sugar beets from
Cache valley to the Lehi factory.
Western roads have agreed to make
homeseekers' excursion rates to points
southeast on Nov. Is and Dec. 6 and 20.
E. A. Stiefel, travelling freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific, with headquarters at Helena, was
in the city on business yesterday.
Rio Grande trains are now running
over the new bridge spanning Lambs
canyon, and the time between here anG
the Park shortened some 10 or 20 min
utes.
By a recent order of the Chicago
Great Western, the office of a division
master mechanic has been created and
established in Dubuque. c. E. SlaytOn,
well known among western railroad
men, has been appointed to the po-
sition.
The Missouri Pacific is the only line
in the Western Passenger association
which has agreed to make a reduced
fare for the Farmers National con-
gress and Pan-American Agricultural
parliament, to be held at Fort Worth,
Tex, Dec. to II. A rate of one fare
plus 81 has been announced by this
line.
In yesterdays notice referring to the
change of time on the Sanpete Valley
branch, the road should have been the
Rio Grande Western instead of the
Short Line, of course. The Rio Grande
train will leave here at a. M, arFiY
ing at Manti at 1890, making one hour
and Is minutes better time than for
merly. The returning train leaves
Manti at l p. m. and arrives here at
5:25 in the evening.
The rolling stock of the Utah &, Pa
cific will be augmented today by the
addition of a locomotive and two cars
from the Short Line which have been
undergoing repairs at the shops here.
The engine is for heavy freight serv-
ice and viii be very useful at this par

schools the duty of citizenship, who
themselves do not take sufficient inter-
est in political matters TO register and
vote.
E. NJ ALLISON.
E. NJ Allison, -"the humanized steam
engine of Republicanism of northern
Utah, began by referring to the mixed
state of Weber county politics, which
was too tangled d web, he said, for
him to attempt to unraveL Mr.. ALI
son then reviewed the past political
history of the state first Democratic,
then Republican and then so over
whelmingly Democratic that the Dem
ocratS now assumed to own the Re-
publicans, body and soul. He sent up a
howl because Democrats hadn't given
so-called silver Republicans a share Of
the offices since 1896; the Democratic
party had been inebriated with sue
cess and was still in that condition. He
then undertook to tell why the Demo-
cratic party had adopted the free sill
yer plank and read extracts from the
Salt Lake Herald of several years ago
going to show that the silver question
was the only issue before the country
at that time. Mr.. Allison then went
into a dissertation on the beauties of
cratic party because it was so old and
talked lot of silly twaddle meant to
be funny, but nobody appreciated it
except Mr.. Allison.
HAMMOND WAS INTERRUPTED.
1t was at this point Colonel Trumbo
was caught sight of behind the wings
and Immediately the house went into
an uproar of demonstration. Governor
Wells introduced Secretary of State
Hammond, who came forward, but the
audience would not listen to him.
"Trumbo," ''Trumbo," same from all
parts of the house. What's the mat
ter with Trumbo?" squeaked voice in
the gallery.
He's all right" was the thunderous
assurance from several hundred voices
in the main portion of the theatre.
Secretary Hammond bravely held his
ground while the people eheered, and
only when Arthur Brown and Wesley
Walton raised their hands as if to in
vite quiet was the speaker enabled to
proceed.
Mr.. Hammond said he had been con-
WINGED this was a Republican year be-
cause the people We're enjoying pros
perity and would no doubt show their
appreciation by voting for the Repub-
lican candidates.

mote-hamlets come here to do bust
ness. Therefore, after considering
these measures and many others, forces
the conclusion still more forcibly upon
my mind that what was to the inter-
ests of the people of this city was GER
tainly to the interests of the people of
this state. And therefore any policy
that would tend to foster the industries
of the state and encourage the develop
ment of natural resources of our great
and growing commonwealth would be
of interest to the people of Salt Lake
City.
"The questions which have been be-
fore us the last few weeks are of vital
Importance to the people of this state.
True, we have been told by the speak

of this state during the last few weeks
and 1 am simply surprised at the pros
perity enjoyed by the people They
have been having big crops and good
prices and are in a better condition
today than they have been for years, -
he said.
He also said there was a great de-
mand for labor, declaring nearly every
fence and post throughout the length
and breadth of this great and glorious
commonwealth was covered with no.
tees of laborers wanted. The speaker
then in turn discussed the tariff, gov
eminent by injunction, bonds, and fin
ally came down to the last Democratic
legislature, which he censured for fix
ing the minimum fee for incorpora-
lions at $780, By reason of this, he
said, the Oregon Short Line and the
Union Pacific railroads saved $4,000,
which might have gone to the people
of the state had a Republican legisla-
ture been in power.
Professor John P. Meakin, who had
been sitting on the stage, was called
for and was received with cheers. He
made few introductory remarks. and
then recited, 1.-The Flower of Liberty

encore gave 1.-THE Man With the Mus

HON. ALMA ELDREDGE.
Mr.. Eldredge was introduced as
Utah's next congressman. He was re-
ceived with some applause, and spoke
as follows:
Mr.. Chairman. Ladies and Gentle
men: L am pleased for the privilege OF
meeting with so many OF the citizens
of Salt Lake City this evening.
During the remarks of Mr.. Allison of
Ogden, when he made reference to the
age. of the Democracy, it brought quite
forcibly TO my mind a circumstance
that occurred when / was speaking
over here in the eastern portion of this
state. l had occasion to refer to the
age of that doctrine and fixed it at the
period Of Thomas Jefferson. A gentle
man setting over in the far. corner of
the building rose to his feet and says
that the Democratic party is q great
deal older than that, Mr.. Eldredge.' /

through the state. I made a visit in
the interests of the Republican party
and of my own election. if you please
and, still further, to learn something
further concerning the industries oil
this state. And on my return I was
convinced more fully Of the important

The High School and University
Teams Practicing.

The first game of the series between
the Elks and Y. NJ. C. A is scheduled
for $3.50 this afternoon at the fort.
The contest will, without doubt. be a
battle royal. The Eiks, formerly the
Crescents, have never suffered defeat.
while the Christians have vanquished
every opponent during tine past four
years. and have never been beaten by
local eleven.
Each team is confident of victory. but
realizes that it Will require the most
strenuous efforts to overcome their ad-
versaries.
1t is difficult to pick the winner, but
on paper the Y. Nj. c. a. appear to
have the advantage. Tney outweigh
their opponents, both on the. line and
behind it. The average weight of the
Elks on the line is 164. while that of
the Y. NJ. c. 4. is 176. Rack of the line
the Elks average only 1lg. syhile VIII
son brings the weight of the y. NJ. c..
a. backs up to 1872
Both elevens have been practicinr as
siduously of late. and have worked
themselves into a splendid physical
condition, and are fit to play the game
of their lives.
