This paper is literally filed
with interesting items but there
is just one more that l intend to
read to you, it is this: Miss Flor
ence Hitler is returning from a
tour of South Africa where she
has been engaged in missionary
work. She will soon leave for
Egypt where it is her intention
to pursue the same line of work
and incidentally to ascertain the
density of the largest pyramid.
She has no idea how the work
should be performed but never
theless is certain of success.
You can plainly see that the
Linotype, which Mr.. Oday advo-
Gates so Justify, must indeed be
a wonderful machine when it
can record the happenings six
teen years from the present date.

Independent, the subscribers of
which receive their paper one
day before the date of publica-
ton.

JUDGE HENDERsoN's DEATH.

The death of Judge n. p. Henderson,
which occurred in this city on Thurs
day night, WAS a sorrowful event. The
Judge came to this city in 1856, under
appointment of President Cleveland to
be Justice Of the Supreme Court Of
Utah, and District Judge. He at once
took strong position and made many
friends. So that when his term eX-
pired. he had no difficulty in taking
high standing AT the bar, and form
ing professional relations which have
kept him, with his own extensive at
tainments, at the forefront of practic-
ing lawyers throughout all this region.
Judge Henderson was a many'slded
character. He was able TO take broad
views, and 10 see and appreciate all
sides Of questions as presented, lie
was useful citizen, and gave freely
of his great abilities and effective ser.
vices to the public. OF late years he
has been distinguished as member of
the Board of Education in this city,
and was its president at the time of his
death. In that position he gave un-
grudgIngIy Of his time and energy, what
he could spare from the exactious of
his practice.
He will be much missed from the
board, in his profession. and AS citi-
zen. The community is the poorer in
his loss, in that there is none in sight
TO fill his place and act IN The
many capacities in which he was relied
on for personal service in deed and in
counsel. IT is community loss. that
for the time creates a marked void.

of tho State on all accounts for the
month of May were only $4I ,43s.l0;
while the expenditures amounted to the
enormous sum Of $19S. .499.2S. a deficit
for the month of $l57 7,56o.1s. OF the
total expenditures. Sl31 ,56015 was
from the general fund, and the chief
other item OF disbursement was 500

is no reason at all for singing one out
