A Miss Adamson of Richmond was
taken to the hospital at Salt Lake
Tuesday for the purpose of having ar
operation performed. She has beer
suffering from abscess of the stomach
Lewiston's petition for incorpora.
ton was considered by the commits.
sioners on Tuesday, but they denied
the application, for lack of the proper
number of signatures.
The o. $. l.. has the material on the
ground for new depot at Smithfeld,
and we are told that it will be ready
for occupancy ere the snow flies. They
need a first-class station there very
much, and this improvement is com.
ing none too soon. The old depot will
be used for freight house.
Funeral services of Mrs. Dorothea
Jorgensen were held at the tabernacle
at noon on Sunday. Many friends were

respect to the deceased, who was a
much-loved woman. w. w. Vaughan,
Andreas Petersen, Orson Smith,

Look out for total eclipse of the
moon on the 18th inst. The time
given out Is $3.50 p. m, and the eclipse
will last for about four hours, although
not total for that length of time.
Although 1t is not given out Officially,
1t Is generally believed that this is an
indication that King and the Demo
cratic ticket i'm Cache county will be
totally eclipsed on the 4th of Novem-
Der.
We made our first visit to Richmond
Tuesday and while not impressed with
the n'shustling, bustling qualities,
we were led to believe that it is a
community of citizens happy in hav-
ing what is theirs. Fine streets and
magnificent buildings are all right for
towns that can afford them, but these
seldom bring greater cOntentment
than is the portion of citizens in
smaller towns.
1t is said by those who were pre-
sent that Judge Botkin's speech at
Wellsville last Thursday night was a
hummer. The Judge is an excellent
talker, good reasoner, and the way
he went after Judge Kings spiel of
the night before was satisfactory to
the Republicans at least. 1t could
hardly be expected that the Demo
Gratis would relish such dish. Post
master Murdoch drove over with him
from here.
Republican headquarters are open
now in the Thatcher Bank building,
This is very desirable location and
of easy access to all. Republicans i'm
the county, or elsewhere, when in
town should make II a point to at
least visit the place. Daily papers,
and considerable campaign literature
is on hand, so that you can pass very
pleasant hour. Mr.. VIM. Brangham,
one of the old Republicans of the val
ley, is in charge and will always be
found there.
On Wednesday Miss Imogene Mel
son of Greenyille, and o. A. Follett Of
Hyde Park, were united in marriage
Miss Nelson is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. 9. NJ. Nelson, and is known
In Greenville as charming young
lady, loved by all who know her. Mr..
Follett Is regarded highly and the
union will no doubt be happy one.
In the evening reception was tend
cred to the young people at the home
of the brides parents, at which host
of friends extended congratulations.
j. +. Wright of Hyrum is circulat-
ing petition, with the view of Undue
ing the commissioners to open up the
old road to the LaPlata mining camp.
The petition is being very literally
signed, and from all the information
at hand we are led to believe that the
rood should be reopened. 1t was
thought that the camp would he en-
tirely abandoned, but recently Bos-
ton syndicate took hold of the matter
and are pushing the mine. If the
road should be built from the Ogden
side, great deal of the trade that
comes to the Cache valley would go to
the city down the line, and this is
hardly the way to build up the valley.
The LaPlata district may yet prove a
very rich one, and Cache valley can
hardly afford to throw away the posi-
bility that may be there.
The recent Conference at Salt Lake
was probably the largest in the his
tory of the church. The reports
