The stone work on the federal building being constructed in Salt Lake City is nearing completion. Bpringville is to have a new business block, which is to be used for lodge rooms and business purposes. The Eiks of Salt Lake City have decided to entertain the orphans of the city on Purple day, August 14, at La- ' 2,000 out-Bid- goon. A representative of the Salt Lake City Saivation Army has been in Lehi soliciting financial aid and is obtaining good responses. The infant daughter of Mrs. Willard P. Punk of Salt Lake City was so badly scalded that the little onb died the following morning. Boss Wells, of Sait Lake City, while riding homeward on hiB bicycle, was run over and trampled on by a runaway team, sustaining painful a. The people of Nephi are taking considerable pride in the progress of their young band, which consists of twenty-lou- r members, ranging in age from 13 so 19.

Bush valley is being devastated by , Ihe cricket scourge, millions, of the pests having scaled the mountains between Bush valley and Death canyon and Skull valley. The Lehi city council has granted a franchise to B.

Andrew Jacobsen, a miner from Arizona, while attempting to beat his way to Butte, was run over and suffered the loss of bis leg by a Short Line train in the yards at Ogden. Adjutant General Burton of the Utah national guard has issued an order fixing thn time of holding the state encampment August 22 to 28. The place of holding it has not yet been decided.

Plans for the Black Hawk reunion, to be held at Manti on the 17th, 18th and 19th of August, are being perfected. The seat of the Black Hawk war was in Sanpete and Sevier counties. , Harold Olson, a mason, while working on the school house at Chester, was sunstnick and fell from the top of the building, breaking his leg, and, it is feared, sustaining internal injuries. in Salt Lake City last week, a child pushed a screen from a window and fell, but fortunately the screen lodged on a chair and the child fell upon the screen, thus probably saving it from serious injury. Peter Otteson of Ogden was run over by a train and sustained , injuries that proved fate!. Trainmen saw Otteson on the t'a:k and called to him to get oft, but he became confused and was run down. Director Hyatt's weekly bulletin reports crops generally good in Utah and making rapid growth, the exception being in the southern part of the state, where the prevailing dry weather has been of long duration, causing the supply of water for irrigation to run very low. Clarence Kenney, aged 38, a Salt Lcke street car man, attempted to kill Mrs. Mary Nichols, aged 40, stabbing her several times with a pocket knife, because he had become infatuated with her and she refused bis advances. The Mormon church has just issued a pamphlet giving th- names and ad dresses of the church otflcials and mission presidents throughout the whole worldThis is the first authentic directory of this nature that has been issued for many years. Governor Wells bas appointed dele gates to the American mining congress, which will convene in iu seventh annual session at Portland, Ore., August 22.
