At Charleston Wednesday night the
Hon. Geo. A. Smith and Fred Turner
held full sway, and we are Informed
that they had very satisfactory
meeting. Georges reputation as
speaker is such that it always insures
him a good crowd, and there were
many who came out to see Turner
with his X-ray machine. Smith gave
them facts and figures and other in
formation in a convincing way and nc

on the Republican party.
The Carbon block now owned by
Robinson Bros, who have been re-
modelling It, will soon receive the fin
ishing touches that will make 1t Of a
much better appearance. The stair
way that has been placed in the north
side will open up the two upper floors
for use. Jeppeson's orchestra is 60
ing to furnish the upper story into a
modern ballroom. The dressing rooms
and reception hall will be the most ell
egantly furnished apartments of any
ballroom in northern Utah. A new
floor Of hardwood, finely polished, will
be placed in, and with the music this
orchestra is noted for, should make Of
this enterprise complete success.
The members Of the A. c. football
team are feeling greatly encouraged
over their recent showing against the
Colorado team, and believe they can
give the U. Of U. team a run for its
money. Prof. Campbell is working the
boys for all there Is in it and hopes to
have them in the best of condition by
the time for the championship game.
The excellent showing of the team in
the last game has aroused a great en-.
thusiasm among the students and
faculty and many of the town people
as well, and the boys can now feel
that there is something worth fight
ing for. BY their good work they have
won favor and it is only by good work
that they can stay in favor--conse-
quently there will be no quitting" in
the future.
This morning as Willard Vaughan
came up our back steps with two
buckets Of coal, he remarked: "If the
vote should turn out right, the janitor
at the court house will do this for me
this winter, but If the votes 60 wrong,
III continue packing coal as content
edly as ever" We then put the ques-
tion to the house: "All those who be-
lieve Mr.. Vaughan will continue to
carry coal this winter please say aye"
and one little capital II" was heard
to drop down into the 20" box. Gan
who believe the court house janitor
will carry coal for Mr.. Vaughan this
winter please hold up your hands,"
and this was the result.

a man walking in the middle OF the street,

walked any great distance in the middle
of the streets today.

the health deparement and notified DIR.

who. he supposed, was suffering with

That the suspect has got lost or is con-
