DIR. Middleton las called wednes-
day evening to sIe Miss Hyatt Of
Parowan, who was employed in the
family of II. II. Palmerof this city,
and who was believed to be coming
down with smallpox. The doctor
found the patient in the first stages
of the disease, which by afternoon on
Thursday had developed into we'll
defined case of smallpox.
The young lady had a sister attend
ing the Branch Normal at the time
the case developed, and as she had
been exposed, she was quarantined,
together with all the inmates of the
Palmer residence. Tho victim In all
probability contracted the disease in
Milford, where she went to spend
Thanksgiving. Charles Parker, a
Normal student from Kanarra, had
been keeping the company of the
young woman and had been exposed.
He has been placed under quarantine,
as has also his sister Esther and Miss
Clara Haight of Cedar.
AS the case was discovered in its
early stages, and prompt quarantine
regulations enforced, the physician
states that he epseehends but little
danger of the disease spreading.

Our local farmers institute seems
slow in getting into operation this
winter, and yet there has never been
a time since the town was settled
when there was more need of such an
organization, than at the present. If
our part of the safe is ever to amount
to very much from am agricultural
standpoint, it will be through united
effort on the part of the r. who
follow that calling. While the pos
sibilities are doubtless good for in
creasing the yield of our fields that
are under the irrigation bitches by a
more economical and wise applica-
tion of the water to the soil, it is to
the comparatively new system of arid
farming that we must look for the
growth in agriculture that we should
attain in Iron county. We have
thousands of acres of land that
possess all the requisites for good
arid farms, and under the stimulating
influence of good live farmers org
aniZation we have no doubt that some
measures could and would be taken
TO introduce this new and profitable
system of farming. There are three
months at least of winter weather
before us, with tho long evenings
incident to this season of the year,
and our wide-awake farmers ought to
be together one night every week
uniting their wisdom in contriving
means to get something more out of
the situation than we now are getting.

The presentation of "Hazel Kirke"
and "Hick'ry Farm at the opera
house this week .by the Inland Rep,
ertoire company was far above the
average of such performances as reach
these "of the railroad" points. The
company was greeted both evenings
by crowded house, and everybody
seemed agreed in saying that they
received full value for their money.
Mr.. Christensen, the stage manager
of the company, is deserving of a
place with the professional class.
His Interpretation of the harsh, hard
hearted old farmer character in
"Hazel Kirke' AID the kind. forgiv-
ing old man in "Hick'ry Farm" we're
well-nigh faultless. He was supper
ted by an unusually strong cast in
each play. Mr.. Farnsworth did some
creditable work in the roles of ju-
venile and heavy, while Morrison,
who, by the way, is victim of the
"print shop" having worked with
George II. Crosby on the Southern
Censor at Richfield for some time, did
some extremely clever acting in the
role of the Irish alderman, in Click
Try Farm" In fact, his portrayal
of this part was one of the triumphs
of the evening, and would have done
credit to any professional character
comedian. The ladies of the com
pany were quite up TO standard, and
the speciality work by Miss Salisbury
was greatly appreciated.
