name of the post office was changed under a Republican administration and now the very best thing our Democratic friends can do for us before they step down and out is to undo that wrong The city is Brigham the depot is Brigham the commercial business is Brigham but thepoatoffice is Box Elder and there is scarely a day passes but that complications complica-tions arise because of this confounding of names Our freight goes to Box Elder Station U P Railway Kansas or is held at Missouri River points until advices can be sent forward i express ditto If a postoffice money order comes to Brigham the postmaster will not cash it if an express money order comes to Box Elder the agent will not pay it and so it goes We want our old name the name by which we were christened restored to us through the postoffice department and we want it right away APOSTLE SNOW Judge Smith and Elder Watkins were the speakers at the obsequies ob-sequies of Bishop Abraham Hnnsaker whose death has already been heralded in the peoples paper A great man has surely gonen noble spirit has taken its flight such was the testimony of those who knew him best and longest Shortly before his death the spirit and office of his calling came upon him and this modern patriarch like Abraham of old called his family about him laid his trembling hands upon their heads and blessed two wives seventeen eons eight daughters nine daughtersin law three sonsinlaw nine grandsons and six granddaughters Total in family fiftyfour He also blessed five of his neighbors who were as near and dear to hm as his own flesh and blood Some of his children were living so faraway far-away they could not be notified in time One son Elzarns living near Rock Creek Idaho learned of his fathers death the night before the funeral He rode 110 miles changing horses three times and got here just as the last shovelful of earth was being thrown over the sacred casket of his sainted father One characteristic of the deceased was punctuality II Al was be on time was his motto We were pleased to see that example emu l lated by his sons at the funeral The body was brought twelve miles fol lowed by twenty ht vehicles and reached the tabernad at tbe appointed time Buhop Hunsaker was one of that body of Sclfacr ficing patriots called the Mormon Battslhon He fought for his country and remained true to its best interests as he also was true to his God He was in his seventy seventh year THE street parade of the Antiques and Horribles on Thursday to advertise adver-tise the fancy dress ball was no tame affair The procession
