A SUDDEN FLURRY OF VIRTUE. City Propones to Reform a Hitherto . Objectionable Element. Four Arrest Made and More to Follow. For some years past this city has supported, rather against its will, a small number of individuals known in the vernacular of the West as "tinhorn" gamblers. As to the extent ex-tent of their operations nothing definite defi-nite can of course be known, hut their fame was by various means spread abroad, and was the one blot on the otherwise fairly clear moral record of Springville. The city authorities, who took control con-trol on last New Years, evidently had ideas of their own in regard to public and private virtue. Following the tightening of the screws on the liquor traffic came a rumor that the gambles would receive attention, The rumors increased in numberuntil the matter culminated last week in the arrest f several of the "tin-horu" fraternity. The first catch of the police dragnet drag-net was O. L. Ihrig, who had departed depart-ed for Salt Lake. Marshal Gemmell secured his man in that city, Friday, and he was brought home to face a preliminary examination Saturday morning. VicDallin, Riley Roylance and J. A. Mercer were also gathered in, lhrig and Dallin were to have been tried Tuesday, but the trial was postponed until tomorrow. Ihrig has a charge of keeping a gambling house to face also. It is reported that other arrests to the number of twelve or fifteen are to follow. The gambling fraternity are loud in their denunciation of this move of the city officials against them, and are threatening reprisals. They say that the city has permitted the holding of raffles during the winter past, when it should have prosecuted the conductors con-ductors (if ihem.under ,. the same ordinance which was invoked to cinch the tin-horns. There seems to bo an opportunity for quite a bit of excitement before the affair is over with. To (Jure A Odd in One Day T;ikc Laxativ Hi'Oino Quinine Tafolottj.

Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking .of Dr. King's Sew Discovery says that last winter his wife was attacked at-tacked with La Grippe, and her case grew so serious that physicians at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for her. It seemed to develop into hasty consumption. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in store, and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home, and to the surprise of all she began to get better from the first dose, and a half-dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well.

On Board the "Coos Pay," 1 Feb. 2(5, 1898 Editor Independent- Having written an article to yolir paper concerning this part of uric coast in summer, I think its read rs may be interested in hearing sotee thing of how it looks iu the win! er time. I came on this morning at board a steamier, Newport ... after having spent a week on the w de-spreading, de-spreading, sandy beach at that p( nt. The train runs down there f ora Santa Ana, bringing grain, fi ,tit, nuts, raisins and other produce md there it is loaded on the 1 uge steamers and sailing vessels and carried to other ports, This ste racr has fourteen car loads of barley, iree car loads of barrels of wine, anc one car of oranges and nuts, which vere taken on at Newport, and st wed away in the hold, so it is evident : hat we do not need to take on anyl ling extra for ballast. We have now left the whar and cottages of Newport far beh id in the hazy distance and we are sk mining min-ing lightly and noiselessly ov the waters of the broad and blucP clflc, now riding triumphantly on thi crest of a mighty wave, now rilling smoothly down in the trough between two of these huge billows ol the mighty deep. Far out in the distf ice 1 sec the water being lashed i co a foam and the dark shiny heal and body of some huge black monsl'jr of the sea, every now and then n .king its appearance above the surlt.ee of the water. As we come near t I sec it is a school of great, bla them c fish, with a head some what like a pig, and they look to be twelve or fourteen four-teen feet long. The captain tells me they are poopoises or sometimes called sea hogs. Resides these we were treated also to the sight of a number of whales swimming quite close to the hip and spouting' numerous streams of water huh into the air. My destination !s San Pedro and now that port appears in sight and the huge steamer begins to bear in towards the shore, preparatory to entrring the harbor when it will cast analior fora short time and then re-Mii re-Mii its journey to San Francisco. We are into the harbor now and along side the wharf and the great ropes are being thrown out from both the bow and the stern and soon we will be moored fast and the gang plank will be lowered over which we will step onto "terra tlrma" mice more. It is now six o'clock p. m. and I find myself in the beautiful seaport town of San Pedro again. It Is a mystery to me how the people here tell their winter from the summer, a the town has exactly the same appearance ap-pearance as it had wheu I was here In the month of August. The sky is a cloudless blue, the birds are chirping chirp-ing and singing and the geranuims, fuchsias, roses and calla lillies arc in bloom all around the houses afhd along the side walks, while the trees are In full leaf and some of them in bloom. Thore are seventeen large sailing Tessels lying in the harbor and it looks like a forest of masts towering up into the blue sky. These vessels bring cargoes of lumber from northern north-ern parts, and as soon as they are unloaded u small steam ship called the "Falcon"' tows them out to where the wind will catch them, and then they unfurl their sails like great white birds spreading their wings, the freeze fills them and away they go and are soon lost In the distar.ee. This is a very busy port and I think it will yet be connected with Utah, by the proposed railroad from Salt Lake to Los Angeles.

The Ladies' Republican Club of Springville commenced reeling and spinning the products of their cocoonery cocoon-ery last Friday. The reels and spinning spin-ning machinery are located in two of the rooms in the bank building. The work is under the management of Miss Pyper of Salt Lake, who was down here last spring teaching some of the ladies the art of reeling and spinning. The club has raised ninety pounds of the finest kind of cocoons, which was produced from one ounce of silk worm eggs. This Is an im provement on what they did the year before last. The club that year raised 104 pounds of cacoons from 1! ounces of eggs. The ladies are giving the silk industry a fair test, and by their untiring efforts they hope to be able to demonstrate to a certainty that it can be made to produce a great deal of wealth for Utah, and thereby open another avenue for the employment of the people.
