Yes, can von blame me for feeling bad? Now Newsy, honestly, we cannot win the fall election if we are not united, and to think that our beloved leaders are fighting. Oh, I cannot bear to think of it. Of course I know what it was about. Reed, Ed. and Wise Jimmy were on the lawn down at Reeds home when the trouble came up, and I am glad that we were not where any one else could hear us. I dont mind telling you though, Newsv. You se, it happened like this: Ed. went and sold Ginger with (lie expecta tion of going out of the horse race business and entering the governor race. Reed had already promised the governorship to one of the Federal bunch, maybe Curly Cal lister; yes, thats what Burl Armstrong said. When lited told Ed. that he could not have the governorship, he got hot, and I thought for a minute that Ed. was going to soak Reed. Gee, if those two fellows had got to scrapping with their fists it would have made Cutler, who sat at the presidents left, ashamed of his encounter with his poor W hen they got the hottest, I acted as peace maker ad told them to remember the high calling they hold in tin machine. Tney got quieted down, but the matter is not settled yet, Now Newsy, you can understand why Ed. would not go to Chicago. The matter will have to be settled or it will play thunder with us. Well Newsy, I would just love to tell you more at this time, but I must go and get some advice from Cicero Willey. He is such a kind, mushy, mixie fellow, that I believe that be can help to settle the trouble between Reed and Ed.

That Provo is getting to be the mining center of Utah is shown by the big improvements made by the mining stock brokerage firm of W. H. Kay & Co., which has this week installed a private telegraph line connecting their office with the Salt Lake Stock & Mining Exchange. The office is being fitted up in the latest and most fashion, up-to-d- J 27 II Mrs. Life i0. and is equipped with a complete telegraph system, which enables the brokers instantly to report every sale, bid and offer that is made on the Salt Lake exchange, together with accurate quotations on every one of the stocks. Owing to the danger of making mistakes by the use of the telephone, the boys have installed a telegraph system, so that their business may be handled accurately and with the least j)ossible delay. Traders in the different stocks can know from the second the call is opened in Salt Lake on any particular stock whether the tendency is up or down and all about what business is being This will enable transacted on it. a person interested in a certain stock to trade on it a dozen or more times in one call and know within a minute after the sale is made just how much the stock was bought or sold for and all the Conditions of the market. They will also con tiuue their telephone service, but will do the main part of their work by the telegraph system.
