Show There havo been many Strikes of gas in boring in thla valley, and so goop was the ildw of the wells up near Farmlngton at ono time, that the gas was piped into this city and used in the mains. But the wells clogged, and never wero- driven down so far that they remained in permanent flow. And now a great flow has been tapped in a new well at Brigham City. It was so strong that tho earth was rlppedup and tho gas could not be confined We trust that tho flow may be as permanent perma-nent as it is1 strong, and that the strike may provo the beginning of a gTeat natural gas field and supply. Brigham la a good town, and deserves a)l the good things that can come to her. We .fear that that Cleveland couple who took an oath as a part of their marriage mar-riage ceremony, that they would not apply for a divorce, did not really sense tho words of the marriage service. If they had, they would have seen that the antl-divorco oath was quite eUper-Huoub. eUper-Huoub. As Jt is, the added oath is liable to work on their mlnd3 and lead them to apply for divorce, on tho same principle that a man is said never to long sb much for a drink as after he has pledged himself not to take one. The finding of twq dead bablea in this city in one day is evidence of a depravity de-pravity that is shocking. To the credit of tho human feeling that exists ex-ists here, it is seldom indeed that anything any-thing of that kind happens, It is all Uie more deplorable, therefore, -when it happens doubly. The natural ma ternal feeling that exists In the human breast ought to be strong enough to prevent the horrible and deteBlablc crime of which these dead infants arc tho proof, it la bad enough In all con-Eclenco con-Eclenco to bo caught In the situation that suggests such atrocious murder hut tho dreadfulncss of It ought not to be added to by the moro horrlblo offense. of-fense. Jt is an awful commentary on human depravity to havo such evidences evi-dences of selfish coldhcurtedncss and callous brutality.
