For several months past he walked the streets of this city in a sort of dream; a condition from which he would oc-- 1 casionally arouse himself to greet an old friend, and at those times his voice had the. same ring in it we used to listen ot twenty years ago. For be it known to those who associate him only with thoughts of his conection with the general land office here, that there were other days in his life; that there were times when McGrew was a man in every sense of the word; that he was a newspaper man of ability; that his opinion were courted; his society sought after by. all alike; his judgments worth listening to . But all that was before the political fever infected him; before the 'diseases which come from desire to hold public office, and . . He always wanted to come to Utah dimness of the eyes when they think of his passing. The man who so lives that others experience this sort of sensation when he dies, has not lived in vain. Had he remained in his old callit might have been different, but that organization, but failed. Some ing who can say? Poor old Me. If, beyond years afterward he was appointed reg- the line of shadows which we ever see ister of the land office, but a fight was ahead of us, there is a better madeb y Utah people, who claimed he existence, may the old brighter, was not a resident of this state, and fortunate than he was chap be more here, for it he was removed.

He dered him slaughtered him with an died in the poor house, whither he ax. Anyone can go to most drug stores went when his money was gone, for in town and procure deadly drugs his pride would never have permitted to kill a community without enough him to make an appeal for aid. Well, he did not achieve any great trouble. One can buy a pound of morsuccesses, but the world was the bet- phine or a gallon of laudanum. It isnt ter for his having lived in it . The sum right.

Drug stores are supposed to keep alcoholic liquors for medicinal purposes, not for the purpose of getting people drunk and making them insane. The average drug store whisky sold in this city is too vile for any one. No whisky drinker, unless he be a confirmed sot, will touch it.
