AN IDYL OF THE PAST.

Gree upon time there lived
man who said he was an inventor.
He was a man of many aliases. At
one time he called himself Augustus
Howard, at another Plunger Hill, yet
other times Godfrey, Mason, Smith
and many other names. This man
came to we town of Salt Lake and
then he called himself Albert Hays.
When he came to Salt Lake he repre-
scented himself as the inventor of
a most remarkable light, which he
said was produced from a fixed gas
made from coal oil, a palpable false
hood on its face, because it is no
NOR" possible to make fixed gas
from coal oil than it is to make but
ter from the atmosphere. Blu. no
matter this inventor Howard, Hayes
or what not met Judge CD Colborn,
now president of Salt Lakes much
revered Real Estate association and
the leading hot air dispenser of that
most delectible aggregation. Mr..
Hayes, Howard, Smith, etc, made
the acquaintance of Judge CD Col
born and without very much effort
persuaded the learned judge that his
invention was o. K. The judge md
the inventor went in "cahoots." En-
gines were erected with secret and
well disguised power conveying pipe
lines. Theirs was patented inven-
ton, at least it was so alleged, and it
was guaranteed to produce light at
cost less than the sunlight and ex-
ceeded the sunlight in power and

such calamity! He says he will

arms against the administration. The
Tribune represents the worst element
of the party. 1t wants Mr.. Halloran

saloon keeper who ran a mike Fitz-
gerald kind of a joint up in the north

Salt Lake and found his affinity in
Ex Senator Kearns, and his gang.
He promptly became a power in the
Real Estate association and later was
made president Of the Commercial
club and a member of the board of
public works. He enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the boss rent booster of
this village. The Tribune wants him
for mayor of Salt Lake.
The better element of the "Ameri-
can party pin their faith to Mr.
Bransford. They hope he will pull
them through. The fact is Mr.. Brans-
ford is great deal better than his
party, great deal stronger than his
party and altogether too good a man
to be in such company. He carries

everything however bad and wicked,
but as long as it fights the Mormons.
it can count on the Ministerial asso-

There is big row among the few
democrats that are left. The Dick
Morris faction and the Fernstrom
faction are at daggers points. Mr.
Morris dosn't want Fernstrom re-
elected to the city council and Mr..
Fernstrom doesn't want Morris
for mayor again. Some dem
ocrats, good many of them in fact
want Mr.. Morris to accept the nomi-
nation for mayor The reason for
this is that Mr.. Morris would draw
a big Mormon vote which Otherwise
would go the republicans, and as
