ROBBERY.

Some one in need of something
they had not much use for broke
into a house on Meadow Valley
st. in which Harry Pierce was
sleeping, stole the mattress and a
valise full of clothes; the mattress
was found the next day by the
old Meadow Valley No. 2. and
on Wednesday afternoon, the
cloths and letters that were in
the valise were found dumped
behind large sage brush below
the No. 5 works, but the robber
took the valise. AS the valise
contained some good clotes and
few nice towels, it is evident
that the robber is a stranger to
the wash basin, or else he had
plenty OF clotes of his own
and only wanted the valise to
pack his duds out of town; but
what use he could make of the
mattress or why he took it out'of
the house is hard to unravel.

DEATH OF MRS.
CULvERwELL.

Mrs. Eliza A. Culverwell, sur
wing widow of William Culver
well, died at the home of her
daughter Alice, at Caliente, on
Sunday morning, April Both. The
cause of death was pneumonia
from which deceased had suffered
q number of attacks during the
past five years.
Mrs. Culverwell's home was at
Santa Cruz, Calf, from which
place she came to Caliente in
June last.
An undertaken was summoned
from Salt Lake on Sunday and
the remains were embalmed and
prepared for shipment to Cali
fornia. Mrs. Bennett, a sister
of the deceased, arrived from
Santa Cruz on Sunday also. The
remains were shipped on Tues
day, accompanied by Alice
Culverwell and Mrs. Bennett,
and interment was expected to
take place at Santa Cruz, today,
During their years residence
at Caliente, both deceased and
her daughter Alice, made many
friends, and were highly thought
of. The close companionship
which has existed for so many
years Between mother and
daughter, and which was so well
recognized by all, makes the
blow to the daughter a severe
one, and the sincerest sympath-
les of friends both at Caliente,
and at this place, where Miss
Culverwell was we'll known; go
out to the daughter in her
bereavement.

TOO BIG CITIES.

Go0QWln'S weekly mas the
following to say--The calamity
in San Francisco causes men in
thought to recoil in contem-
plation of what a kindred cal
amity would be were it to strike
New York. The horror of ii
would be something inconceivable
Compared with New York, San
Francisco was but z village.
Suppose an earthquake should
take its march under New York's
walls. The result would pretty
nearly paralyze the business
world of the United States, be-
cause there is the great center of
wealth; it is the clearing house
for more than one nation, and if
the death of one rich man can
lower stocks on the stock board
of New York, what would hap
pen if the city itself should be
wiped from the earth?
1t awakens the thought that so
much wealth ought not to be
gathered in one small space,
that so many ought not to be
gathered in one small space. 1t
would be better, too, if they
would spread out; it would be
better to go into the country,
select a favorable site, and build
up a little community. 1t would
be better if New York could be
made just a sample room for
wholesale business, the main
stocks to be kept outside, the
resident of New York, who is
able, ought to get him a home in
the country, outside the city, be-
cause in such a wreck as that of
an earthquake the selhshness of
men takes possession of them;
women and children are liable to
be neglected or forgotten, and
earthquakes are no respecters of
places. They frequently come
where none were ever heard of
before, and they give no notices
of their approach.
After all. the worst horror in
San Francisco was not the earth
quake; it was the FIRE. But what
would New York do if she be-
came involved ina great con-
fiagratien? All the structures
would go except the steel ones,
and they are comparatively few
and there would be such loss of
life and such suffering as can
not be described.
We were going to say that
forty acres and a mule would
make the right thing, but we re-
frain, as an accident policy would
be needed against the mule.
But, really, we think some of
the cities .of the country are
growing too great, unless the in
telligence of the people can keep
up with their greatness and
provide against all possible catas-
