OF the lake spreading out once again
below the pavilion, The recession OF
these waters has caused many an eye
TO dampon when they looked forth and
beheld the sandy bottom where Ave
years ago three feet OF water stood.
The rainy season Of the past winter has
enormously Increased the amount OF

feature of Real Estate day Nas the
enthusiasm displayed by the people for
the cause of the advance Of Salt Lake
real estate. Everybody there was a
shouter and enthusiast on the subject
Of Salt Lakes municipal advance and
the pushing forward of Utah states
interests. The crowd contributed nobly
through their enormous purchases OF
tickets TO the fund which the Real Es-
tate associa ton Is endeavorlng to ac-
cumulate with which TO advertise Salt
Lake and the state, Many plans are
being proposed for this advertising, but
when II Is finally done 1t VIII be done
In scientific and thorough manner
and IN such a way as to bring results
Of lasting benefit TO Utah and Salt
Lake The time has passed when
municipal advertising should simply
recount the glories Of the state and be
worded In such way as TO be read
only. A better plan is to construct the
advertising in such way that the
reader will bp obliged after reading the
article, to read up on the geographical
location, history and products OF the
state and salt Lake city. This can
best be accomplished by Offering gener-
Gus prizes 10 those who answer the
advertisements and who best describe
these fundamental advantages Of salt
Lake city and Utah.

Indian Summer.

The air is soft and balmy and full
Of hazy threads, the first sharp
frosts are over, the leaves are turn
ing red, wearing their most beauti-
full clothes before leaving; the flow
ers look brighter than ever as
though reckoning the beholder to
enjoy them, as but few days more
remain. The crops are in and the
farmers now turns his attention to
the apples laughing brightly in the
sunlight, while the children scam
per to the woods to head off the
squirrels in gathering nuts. This
is the Indian summer the incest
time Of the year in Wisconsin. In
former years the red man strolled
listlessly through the forests while
the squaws gathered the crops,
preparing for the long and cold
winter The red man is gone,
but whenever this time of the year,
SO dear to him, arrives, it seems as
though his white brother has the
same longing for the woods and
those that have hurried and wor-
ried all summer, expecting the
time to visit nature to last forever,
notice that it has almost slipped by
and rush out for few draughts of
pure air, before the icy blasts con-
fine them to the house. The sun has
lost it's sting and steals mildly
through the red and golden leaves,
the air is still, the birds are prepar-
ing to leave us, the squirrels are
chattering and peace and quiet
prevails. 1t is time to make one
forget the hustle of the work and
enjoy natures beauty. But few
days more and all will be changed,
so all that can, make haste before
the opportunity is over.

ANOTHER HOTEL DEAL.
Grand Central Sold to Dakota
Man.

A deal was closed the latter part
of last week whereby the Grand
Central hotel goes under a new
management. The establishment
had done we'll under Mr.. Jelde's
supervision, but he and his wife
found the duties which the care OF
it imposed were too exacting for
persons of their age and state OF
health. For some time Mr.. Jelde
has been looking over Dakota lands
with view to purchasing or trad
ing his hotel property here. Through
the efforts of J. P. Smith, bargain
was finally closed which puts Mr..
Jeide, in possession of five hundred
and thirty acres of South Dakota,
land, and Mr.. J. M. Guy becomes
the new landlord of the Grand
Central.
Since Mr.. Jeide has been prop
rietor the hotel has greatly in
creased in favor with the travelling
public, and during the past summer
has Accommodated a large number of
regular .boaders. Mr.. Guy is man
of long experience in the hotel busl-
ness, and will, no doubt, keep up
the prosperity of the hosterlry. He
intends putting in steam heat and
new plumbing throughout, which
will add greatly to the comfort of
the guests. The new proprietor ex-
poets to take charge in about three
weeks, when Mr.. and Mrs. Jeide
will rent a house here until such
time as they can make other ar
rangements.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Lewis of
Lancaster are this week sending out
invitations to relatives and friends
for their fiftieth wedding annivers-
a1y, which occurs on November
10th. Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis passed
the active part of their married life
on beautiful farm in Patch Grove
township, and consequently they

The Governor At Bloomington.

A pretty story comes to us from
Landlord Donnelly, of Bloomington
which shows to us that some people.
ministers included, are somewhat
mistaken in Governor LaF gillette.
Joe says that after the governor
had gone to his room on his return
from the hall, he took up pitcher
of icewater to the room, and was
asked to sit down and visit. After
some conversation, Bob asked him
if he was going to support him, but
Joe replied that he could hardly do
that, being one of the delegates who
nominated Peck. Bob then inquir-
ed in regard to DR.. Lewis, saying
''They say he is against me-" Upon
being told that it was SO, the gov
ernor, pacing back and forth in the
room and shaking with rage, ex-
claimed, "J---s Cit
Wouldn't that kill you9 How did
they get him?" We may not have
the exact words, but as reported the
oath part was in it alright.
We would not believe this story
were not Joe Donnellys word as
good as his bond, and we print it
just to let some people who preach
that the governor has all the NOR
atty Of the state on his side know
that there are others.
In connection with this same
story, the governor asked DR.. Lewis
next morning to give his reasons
for refusing his support. DR.. Lewis
gave as his explanation this state
ment: II had always been a La
Toilette man and when two years
ago you promised that you would
give your support to Judge Baensch
this year for governor, l presumed
you meant it. Accordingly when
Judge Baensch asked me for my sup
port this year, I freely promised
and gave it to him." DR.. Lewis did
not further say to the governor
what he has to others, that the an
swer made by the governor to the
question propounded by DR.. Lewis
at aFollette's Lancaster speech,
concerning the two thousand dol
lar book scandal, was so evaseive as
to give rise to grave suspicion in
his mind as to the governors sin
certify; and that further Irregular
ties in the conduct of state affairs
have caused him to wholly re-
nounce his fornysz allegiance.
