Show TRUTHS Arnold G. Giauquo is receiving the congratulations of his many friends on his elevation to tho bishopric of his ward. Mr. Glauque Is an honorable,, upright gentleman and will bo an honor hon-or to the important position to which ho has been raised. Wo nre now told that tho sower extensions ex-tensions planned by the late city administration, ad-ministration, which were to cost $150,-000, $150,-000, will cost $250,000. Is the present administration paving tho way for another an-other grab? If things go on nt this rate we shall soon hear talk of another issue of bonds. Fortunately, how ever, that is scarcely practicable Unless Un-less the nssessed vnluatlon of city property Is raised, the municipality has reached tho limit of indebtedness it can legally Incur. Tribune Reporter to City Editor I havo Investigated that complaint nbout Postmaster Thomas and thero is nothing in it, nothing that reflects on tho postmaster. Business Manager That's not what we want. Roast tho postmaster; no matter what tho facts are, roast the postmaster. That's what wo are paid for; those aro the orders of the Senator, Sen-ator, and they must be obeyed. City Editor Fncts be damned! Roast Thomas. It's all right, too. You know a package went through tho malls containing somo homeopathic pills. Those pills might have been poisonous poi-sonous and have caused the deaths of a lot of people. It was the postmaster's postmas-ter's bounden duty to havo nnalyzed those pills and to havo satisfied himself him-self that they were harmless. If Thomas neglects his duty so flagrantly wo may all be poisoned. Roast the postmaster. What of it If a man mnlled a letter without addressing it? The postmaster should have known to whom to send it and should havo delivered de-livered It in person In Now York or San Francisco, or anywhere. Roast Thomas. Boss Kearns hates Thomas. Ho pays our salaries and Thomas must bo roasted. The Bell Telephone company has not taken up tho challenge of tho Independent In-dependent company. The Bell company com-pany claims that It has 10,000 subscribers sub-scribers In Salt Lake. Tho Independent Independ-ent company offers to donato $1,000 for charitable purposes If tho Bell company will prove that Its subscription subscrip-tion claim is true. It looks as if the Boll Telephone company as a subscription sub-scription liar Is equal to tho dally papers pa-pers of this city. The taking of testimony In the Smoot case will bo resumed, in n few days, when tho Senator's council will present testimony to refute tho statements state-ments made before the commltteo by the Wolfo nnd a few others a short time ago. It Is almost unnecessary to contradict by others tho testimony given at tho recent hearing, the witnesses wit-nesses thero oxnmlned having sufficiently suf-ficiently contradicted and discredited themsleves. Tho names of those who will be subpoenaed for tho final wind up of tho cause celebro nro C. E. Marks, John Henry Smith, B. F. Grant, R. T. Shields, Isaac A. Clayton, General Gen-eral Geoghcgan, James Clove, Edward H. Holt, Wm, K. Henry, Georgo S. Taylor Tay-lor and James II. Llnford. Water, water overy where nnd not a drop to drink! That's tho condition which obtains In tho cheap priced variety va-riety theatres in this town. They sell salted peanuts, cnndles nnd other stutt at prices 100 per cent above that usu-nlly usu-nlly churged for such questionable luxuries, lux-uries, nnd when those who delight in such things have acquired a burning I thirst thero is no way It can bo slaked j but by ginger nle, lemonnde and sim- liar decoctions which nre also dlspens- I ed at top notch prices, but not n drop of water can be had for either love or money. i |
