OGDEN LETTER.

L
Glasmann is losing his mind, and close
acquaintance have suggested the idea
of having a commission de lucendio
inquirendo sit in judgment on him and
determine whether or not he should |
be sent to the hospital for the insane |
at Provo, until such time as his gray |
matter ceases boiling and resumes its |
normal temperature. Bill was ap- |
pointed postmaster some weeks ago, |
but has not qualified yet, and has an,
nounced that he will not enter upon
the duty of licking stamps and reading
postal cards until after the fall cleo
tons. Inasmuch as the salary of the
place Is $4,000 per annum, and the
time Bill lays off Is something like
one-fourth of year. the sum of money
he will lose is something to marvel at,
when it is considered that during his
entire career he has never let any
thing get away from him. Because of
permitting several hundred to escape
from his clutches in the manner sug
gested, Bills close acquaintance have
arrived at the conclusion that he is
nutty and that his head needs fixing.
Those who have watched his career
closest say there is nothing to it;
that Glasmann has something in sight
elsewhere, or he would never have
passed the salary up. AS Is well
known, pOstmasterS are prohibited
from entering the field of politics, and
Glasmann having sworn in court that
he is not the editor of his twin papers,
the billtwins, as the State Journal
designates them, and that the editorial
management Is vested in Frank Fran
els exclusively, he could not very well
do anything for any of his friends
without mourning the displeasure of
the administration, and Bill does not
want to do that at this time. So he is
going to lay off until after election, in
the hope of pulling the legs of several
candidates for a sum larger than he
would have drawn had he entered the
pOstoffice. This pleases Ogden people,
because the day when Bill takes pos
session will be one of regret.
Because of his action in foisting
upon Ogden Glasmann as postmaster,
Joe Howell is liable to lose the dele
cation from this county. Farley p.
Christensen thinks he has it all right,
puI tnlS Hldu rlSHDurn, from up IN
Box Elder County, has been here and
he is going to have some strength
Howell will doubtless get some dele
gates, because Former Bishop and
Present Patriarch Mckay, who used
to own Huntsville and the balance of
Ogden valley, has been supporting Bill
and will do anything the baldheaded
ex-editor says. Mckay will doubtless
go to the convention as a delegate,
and so will Judge Howell who is a
nephew of the congressman, unless the
boys head him off, and they are work
ing. But in any event Weber County
will not be solid for Howell. And
when the convention meets there are
going to be some performances calcu-
lated to make Glasmann wish he had
hair so he could tear it..

Billy Wilson, who runs the Hermit
age and is county commissioner,
wants denomination this fall, but
there are several scalping knives out
after him, and the probabilities are
they will secure a bunch of his hair.
That Billy will have to run the race
of his life is evident, and if he wins
1t will be by the closest margin ever
man won by. Oscar Madsen, the
other commissioner, is going to have
some fun, too, and if he drags out he
will have tO take SOmapna oIca'c duet
