Secretary Blaine is credited with hav-ing converted President Harrison to his views regarding reciprocity, and it is said that the president is preparing a message to congress on the question. This, if true, is a great victory for Mr. Blaine, as it makes him without doubt the leader of the administration as well as of the republican party. Everything now seems to point to Blaine as a presi-dential candidate. It is Intimated that ho will have nothing to do with the force bill, but let it take its course under the direction of Speaker Keed, who is its champion. Blaine is well aware that this bill is unpopular, and he hopes, no doubt, that Reed, by push-ing it, will lose his chances of the pres-idential nomination to which he aspires. Mr. Blaine has a very long head. WANTS. If you want help. f you want to rent a house if you want to sell a lot. 1 f you want a situation. If you want anything, Advertise In THE Times "Want Column.

America WHERE A STAT IS HAS FAILED. Nebraska, which is a pretty good sort of a state and which grows a lot of corn, has failed utterly in one of the essentials of civilization. It hurts to say it, but it must be said. Even poor old Missouri quite outstrips her in this particular and that is saying enough to break the proud Nebraska heart. - Two young farm hands iu Hebron clubbed together and decided to rob a train. They had followed bay mules witn blaze faces over plowed ground with the sun giving the backs of their necks appearances liko unto crimson nutmeg graters for two months,. and they were getting fired of it. They wanted to go to tho circus. They yearned for ginger-bre- d and were fed upon bacon. So they hatched up n scheme. They purchased tickets ami mounted Ihe train and then their nerve gave out: It was nice to Ihinkof but when it came to facing a Cincinnati drummer with a sour mash breath, which could bo chop-ped up and used for ' kindling wood,' they found it a different sort of thing. After working through the entire train they quit with just $33 iu thoir posses-sion. And that's not the worst of it. These amateurs got lost on tho prairie and hiring a farmer (o carry them to town were given up by him tj the authorities. Now they view the dark, sombre world through the bars of a county jail. All this is rough, very rough on Nebraska. It shows that thieving is yet iu its infancy and enterprise lias nut been born yet. A country which produces a $33 train loatl of passengers ami then makes such a wild light to get that $33 back must be in a poor finan-cial condition. The politicians want money issuod to tho amount of $44 or more per capita, and yet here comes an entire vestibule express train across the horizon bearing just $33 as the aggre-gate wealth of all the passengers. Perhaps the reason for the stale authorities following up theso boys, who worked very bard for very little, is to avenge (he exposure of the condition of Nebraska's finance.

Tha Council Meetn and Transact! a I.arir Amount of Bulnewp. Park Citv. Aug. 7. Special corres-pondence. Mr. N. Treweek came up from .Suit Lake last evening on a busi-ness trip, returning this morning. At an early hour yesterday morning a lire broke out in a stable near the On-tario mine, and before it could be a horse belonging to Joe Mutt, a miner, was cremated. Mi'. A. B. Richardson of the Park City bank, and Dr. U. U. (jiegor left this morning for a ten days' hunt in the mountains. Our city fathers met in council last evening and the following business was transacted. On account of the absence of the mayor Alderman Kimball tilled the chair 'in the fore part of the even-ing. After the reading and adoption of the miuutes, the bills were read and ap-proved, and by order of the committee the several amounts were ordered paid. The recorder and treasurer's re-port was read, which showed a cash balance on hand August 1st of The bonds of the city assessor and city marshal were then presented to the council, and after being duly examined by the prosecuting attorney and acted upon bv the proper committee, Alder-man Williamson moved that the bonds be received by the council and placed on tile. Carried. The alderman then read a petition signed bv I,. Mitchell and others asking that a certain nuisance be removed from near his dwelling. Petition referred to committee on public health. A recess was then declared for ten minutes to give the committees on peti-tions and bills time to report. After recess the committee on streets, alleys and bridges reported favorably on the petition of Brausford and others asking that Norfork avenue be graded. The committee on licenses reported favorably on the petition of M. H. Quirk asking a rebate for his unused license. Report of committee accepted and an order drawn on the treasurer for the amount of $125. Alderman Berry, chairman of the committee on lire and water, stated that the lire apparatuses or-dered had come and that they were all in , good order. lie stated also that ho had visited tho Lackawaxan lakes, and thought there could bo nn adequate supply of good water brought from this source at very little cost; also that should the council not sec tit to investigate those resources they should put several cisterns along tho line of pipes already in use and pur-chase a lire steamer to draw the water from this source in case of lire. Under the head of unfinished business the resignation of Alderman Richard-son, on tho grounds that he had moved from tho ward in which he was elected, was accepted. Under the head of new business Alderman Williamson put in nomina-tion Mr. C. A. Tewksberry to fill the vacancy in the council caused by the resignation of A. B. Richardson. Mr. Tewksberry was elected. Marshall Bennett requested, that the salary of city scavangcr bo placed at $75 a month. Granted. On motion of Alderman MeDonahiigh the city council were instructed as a whole to visit the Lackawaxan lakes before tho next meeting night with a view of ascertaining the feasibility of utilizing the water iu the, lakes for' the uso of the city. The council then set apart Aug. ''() as a day to meet as a board to hear objec-tions from taxpavers. On motion of Williamson the meeting then adjourned. .. Mr. Fred Walker and party were in the Park triclay cn routo for Brighton. The t son of Mr and Mrs. Geo. Wilkinson died yesterday morn-ing at 10 o'clock, of pneimionia. Fu-neral will take place tomorrow. The following are registered at the Park hotel: John A. Condon, Ben Fox, B. H. Petton, E. Strauso, Prof. Andre, K. O. Howard, G. II. Wilson, James Millow, J. O. Connors, N. Treweek, Dr. E. Mantor, .Salt Lake; T. F' Home, Mil-waukee; Geo. E. Carpenter, J. Beatty, Omaha; E.JB. Smith, St. Joe; M. Sulks and son, Chicago. . A recent visitor to the Ontario mill desires to acknowledge the courtesy and intelligent explanations given o'f the workings of the machinery by Mr. Daniel Bader. He has much experience iu this line, and visitors whom he shows through this immense mill will go away with a satisfactory understanding of the general process by which ores are treated. CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. Tho Twelve Apostles is the name of the great war vessel of 8.200 tons which the Russian government is just about to launch at Sebastopol. A larger ves-sel called St. George the Conqueror, is being built at the sumo place. A Paris. 111., dispatch says:, Ihe little town of Ransom's Ford, layingsix miles south of here, is much alarmed and puzzled over a natural phenome-non which is just now being exhibited there. On Friday last, a short while after sun-rise- , a cloud coming from a northeasterly direction and descending from agreat'iiciglit. moved with rapidity, stalled down upon the place, and has remained undispelled ever since. Ihe atmosphere is so dense with the mois-ture from the cloud that objects are wholly undiscernible at a distance of less than two feet; but the remarkable feature of the fog is its intense cold, which is such as to render Jires neces-sar- v to prevent tho people and animals from freezing to death, while all vegeta-tion in the town and in the country about for a quarter of a mile around, and, indeed, wherever the fog rests, has been killed. M. Got. the doyen of the French the atre, sheds some'original light upon his profession. He says: "You ask mo iU comedian requires intellect iu order to succeed. None whatever. I would go even further, and say that the. less intellect he has the belter he will get on. Actors without , intellect and heaven knows there are plenty of thein rush forward without fear, full of while if they were intel-lectual they would be continually afraid their interpretation of such and such a character was wrong, and fearful of having made a mistake, would lose their confidence. Speaking broadly, there-fore, it is best that the actor should not be possessed of a great intellect. Many artists are in exactly the same position. For my own part 1 know many sculp-tors and painters of real talent who, outside of their own line, are as foolish as geese." A German merchant in London has a servant girl who is excellent iu may re-spects, but was very forgetful. This fault was especially annoyi :g at meal times, when something essential was sure to bo lacking from the table. One day the family were seated at tho table and the bell was rung as usual. The girl hurried to the diniugroom. "Mare," said Her B., "just run and fetch the big step ladder down from the attic and bring it here." Marie, who had been dinner, gave a grunt of dissatisfaction, but ran up the three flights of stairs to fetch down the heavy ladder. In about livo minutes she returned to the room panting with her exertion. "So now," said Her B., "put it up at that eud of the room and climb to the top." She did as she was told. and when she was at the top Her B. quietly observed : "Ma-rie, you have now got a better view we have; just look round ond tell us if you can sec anv salt on the table. My wife and I could not find it." That did the business. Marie never forgot the lesson. Five and Forty Year Ago. There were twenty-seve- n states in the union Tho total population was about 30, 000,000. James K. Polk was president. John C, Calhoun was secretary of George Bancroft was secretary of the navy, and was preparing plans for a naval academy. Webster, Benton and Cass were in the senate. There was a debate on tne Oregon boundary. Texas wat admitted to the union. California was a Mexican province. Expenditures of the United States government were $21,81)5,370. The slaver Spitfire was condemned in Boston. Washington Irving was minister to Spain. John Howard Payne was consul at Tunis. Edgar A. Poe had rocently written "The Raven." P There were 14,183 postofliccs in the United States. Jefferson Davis was a representative iu congress. Robert E. Lee was a captain of engi-neers. Charles Sumner, lawyer, delivered an oration July 4, in Boston, on "The True Grandeur of Nations. " Nathaniel Hawthorne was writing "Mosses from an Old Manse." J. , L. Motley was secretary of the American legation at St. Petersburg. Horace Grcely was editor of the d Tribune. W. C. By rant was editor of tho Even-ing Post. James Gordon Bennett was editor of the Herald. James G. Blaine was in Washington college, Pennsylvania. Benjamin liarrisou, James A. Gar-liel- d and Grovor Cleveland wero boys under fifteen years of age. San Francisco had 500 inhabitants, Omaha and Denver none; Minneapolis. St. Paul aud Kansas ( !itv a few hun-dred; Chiongo about 10,000. There were 4633 miles of railroad in the United States. Thcro were passenger packets on the canals. Tho first telegram was sent a year before. Thomas Edison was not, born. Whale-oi- l lamps and tallow candles were the chief illuminators. Wood was the chief reliance for beating. Sowing machine were not in com-mon use. Mowers and reapers were iu experi-mental stages. Rubber snoes were coming into uso. R. M. line was thinking of a "rotary printing press." Quill pens were still much used. Genesee flour was the standard. Hand lire engines wero tho best made.. 1 ' ' State banks furnished the currency. Shillings and sixpences were tho sil-ver change. Gold product of the United Slates was $1,008.37. There were no telephones, electric lights, steam elevators, sleeping cars or typewriters. Abraham Lincoln was practising law at Springfield, III. William II. Seward was practising law at Auburn, N. Y. Honry Ward Beecher was preaching at Indianapolis. Uiysses S. Grant was a lieutenant in the Fourth United States infantry. William T. Sherman was a lieuten-ant in the Third United States artil-lery. Til', street sales of Tun Timks last cning amounted to 1300 copies. F,i,i:t'iut)t!tiit)N shocked not only Kemmlcr but tho entire country. The New York papers denounce this method of execution, ami demand a repeal of the law. Every bank in this city ought to be a member of tho clearing house associa-tion. Tho amount of the clearings would be ni:tterial!y increased, ami the showing would prove a great benefit to Salt Lake. AtT'niiOlNU to the census, Portland, Oregon, has a population of 35,8(11. It was generally supposed that the city had about 7(1,000 people. However, what it lacks iu population it makes up in wealth. Tun complete list of tho victims of the Johnstown Mood has been compiled and published by one of the nowspapers of that place. There were 2187 people drowned, and there were 131!) botlies recovered and identified. Mu. Ikci-ES- . who was recently ap-pointed the Union Pacific general freight agent iu this city, is making an excel-lent record in his new position. Tho Union Pacilic could not have selected a better man for the place. TtiKinan who tries to treat a news-paper representative as a bill collector, is tho one who roars loutlest and pro-nounces tho sheet's doom on occasions when it neglects to inform a panting world that he has sold his dog. ,) TENSIONING Some weeks ago a republican con-gressman from Nebraska introduced a bill providing for the pensioning of and it was stated that it would receive serious consideration. Natu-rally enough tho democratic papers, as well as quito a number of republican papers, jumped on the bill with both feet, and scored the congressman for having introduced it. Mathematicians at once began figuring out what it would cost to carry out the provisions of the measure, and. they found that It would require a fabu-lous sum. The Nebraska congress-man finally admitted that he introduced the bill by request, aud that it did not originate with him. It now transpires that the bill was drawn up by tho editor and proprietor of a dem-ocratic paper in Omaha, and he de-clares that he is in dead earnest in the matter, and did pot intend the bill as any hot weather joke. Nevertheless, it may be regarded as one of the incidents of the silly season. It is now in order for the democratic papers to score this bold genius who no doubt had racked his brains in devising this plan to de-plete the surplus aud bankrupt the country. Siorx City, la., is jubilant over the acquisition of a sausage plant to Us commercial industries. Those who have wondered from what source sau-sage really comes, need wonder no longer as they consume the dlcclable vegetable. - THE NAME ON THE DOOR. Loulne Chandler Moultou. It la only the name on the door-W-hy should there be tears iu my eyes! But I never shall knock there more ; And sorrow Is not otherwise. I lined to go up the stair When the day was wearing late, And come on her unaware As she sat aud dreamed by the grate. And then, like a sudden flame, My welcome flashed from her eyes, Aud her lips grew warm with my name. And we saw Love's star arise. Sometimes I but held her hand, Aud never a word said we We could always understand With never a word, you see. Sometimes she chatted like mad. And laughed I can hear her now. Shall I ever again be glad? I think I've forgotten how. It is only the name on the door, Where I used to come aud go ; But never to knock there more-W- hy, the world seems dead, you know. The collector of customs at Astoria, Oregon, has been in the habit of issuing cci'tillciites to alleged CliincHO merchants ami other Chiuumeu leaving tho United States with the iutcntiou of returning. This practice has been ordered stopped by the treasury department with tho view of making it ditlicult for those Chinamen to this country. Artemus Ward's Last Joke. New York Sun. Joseph Jefferson, in his autobiography in the forthcoming August Century, re-lates what was probably the last jest of Artemus Ward. When the famous wit lay dying in Southampton he was tended' by 'his de-voted friend "Tom" Robertson, the English playwright, who was also a friend of Jofl'erson. "Just before Ward's death," writes Mr. Jefferson, "Robertson poured out some medicine in a glass and offered it to his friend." "Ward said, 'My dear Tom, I can't take that dreadful stuff. " " 'Come, come' said Robertson, urg-ing him to swallow the nauseous drug; 'there's a dear fellow. Do now, for mv sake; you know I would do anvthiu'e for you.' " '"Would you?' said Ward feebly stretching out his hand to grasp hi's friend's, perhaps for the last time." " '1 would indeed,' said Robertson." " 'Then you take it,' said Ward. The humorist died a few hours afterward." The Dcuver Times has made very rapid strides to the front. One year ago it hud tli3 smallest circulation of any paper in Denver, and today it claims the largest, and proves it by the ligures. The Gait Lake Times is fol-lowing suit. Four mouths ago it had the smallest circulation in this city, and today it has the largest city circulation. Within one year it will have the largest general circulation. The plan of Indian Commissioner Morgan to send Indian children to tho public, schools, where it cau be conven-iently dune, is a new idea, and will probably result in a satisfactory man-ner.' 'There are several reservations in Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington and elsewhere that ate located at a short distance from white settlement s. The association of the Indian childreu with white pupils will be of great benefit to them, and will no donht civilize them much quicker than if they were kept in separate schools. Leading 1 p to It. Chicago Tribune. "Anything wrong with the coffee this morning, John?" "No; it's good enough." "Biscuits all right?" "i haven't any lault to iind w ith the biscuits." ".steak cooked about right?" "I don't see anything Avrong with the steak." "No complaint to make about " "No." "John, I wish you would let me have 50 cents to buy some ribbons." UTAH NOTES. Ogden has laid the corner stone for that university. Tho Fourth of July bunting and flags are still "up" in Provo. Free postal delivory is one of the lat-est inaugurations at Logan. The editor of the Logan Journal isn't "stuck" on Count Tilstoi's "Kreutzer Sonata." It was a Juab county girl who. in speaking of a doctor, caliod him a dis-ciple of erysipelas. It is considered almost ns much "honor" to belong to the Monte Cristos at Ogden as to be a member of a man-dolin club. An enterprising burglarbroke into B. Terns' jewelry house Tuesday night. In Ogden. lie got away with every-thing iu sight except the safo and counters. After deliberating several hours, an Ogden jury came to tho conclusion that the placing of a pistol by one man against the body ol another'and pulling the trigger was intentional murder. Providing the man died. Dr. Hardy has issued a card asking that Provo people refrain from donating pastry, sweetmeats, etc., to "Joe," the Indian who was injured by being thrown from a balking horse, and give nothing except plain, everyday food. There is one thing which will insure the average Provo citizen to a corner lot, with free water privileges, in the celestial city, and that is tho largeuess of his heart. "Our wife is visiting her folks near Grand Junction, Col., this week," says the San Peto Growler. "We do not publish this fact as an item of news so much us we do to explain tho crushed appearance of our new plug hat last Tuesday morning and the wrinkles iu our now Prince Albert. The same cause holds good also for our sleeping on the frout porch Monday eveuing. It's the first time our wife has visited her parents since we plucked her from the bosom of the family circle, and the shock was too groat for ouf nerves. It it better in this life of ours to forgive and forget such little occurrences, any-way." f COLORADO NOTES. Lyons has a sidewalk boom. The senatorial bee is now feasting iu clover. Pueblo has erected a scheme to add Bessimer to the city's incorporations. Kiowa county ainco the drouth has the appearance of an overdone pan-cake. There are 335.300 acres of surveyed government laud in Archuleta eaunty, subject to entry or filing. Pueblo presents the peculiar spectacle of a city too big for its laws. It wants a change in the statutes relating to municipal laws. The reported sale of the Denver News appeared on the streets of Pueblo the other day with a two weeks' growth of beard on its face.
