How funny this pollltlkul kolum reeds. It says Mr. Morris is tired ov these organizations planted In every hamlet in the land. Of course, Tom will foot the bills, buy the banners and attend to all the Incidental expenses. The first one of these organizations is to be established in the city of Ogden. The work will be undertaken as soon as Buffalo Bill Glasmann returns from St Louis. If the affair is a success, then one will be put in here. It is announced with much confidence that Bill has secured the services of that eminent reformer and former president of the Salt Lake Workingmens club, Scotty Rankin, and that as soon as Scotty gets through washing his dishes he will appear cn the street with a petition for a Kearns Workingmans club. o It is an old saying that six per Money cent men rule the world. out at interest makes a man independently rich quicker than anything else. One should always get good security when lending money. Never lend to a friend, because that leads to the loss of both the money and friend. The best security in the world is a real estate mortgage, on good improved property in a city like Salt Lake. There are firms which make a business of lending money for clients on such securities, and the business has' proven very successful and satisfactory for many years. McGurrin & Co., of Salt Lake City are the most prominent in this line. The owner of the money gets 6 per cent a year and holds the security himself. Besides the security of the mortgage, the bond is guaranteed by McGurrin & Co., so there is the double security. Write to McGurrin & Co. for further particulars. o John John L. Still Bostons Hero. L. Sullivan is again in clover. The once mighty champion was given another benefit at Boston and, judging from reports, it proved to be a hummer. It was figured that $4,000 was added Jawn L.s bank account. Regardless of his sprees and numerous fistic encounters with friends and foes alike, John L. is still the lion of American pugdom. The rank and file who read of his victories in the champions palmy days bear no ill to him. They overlook his dissipation, buy the tickets for the champions benefits and cheer him whenever he. appears before the footlights. This country can boast of other great fighters, but never in the history of pugilism was there a man so thoroughly admired a this same John L.

The school vacations .. have commenced and the pupils and the teachers alike are rejoicing at the prospect of a long rest during the delightful summer months. They have earned a vacation and Truth hopes they will all thoroughly enjoy it The school year just closed has been an exceptionally successful one. The standard of education has not only been kept up but has been advanced. Complete harmony exists among the teachers, the principals, the superintendent, the board of education and the clerk, and all can look back on a years work well done, and look forward to a coming year of increased usefulness. Superintendent Christensen is to be especially congratulated on the happy condition which he so largely contributed to bring about. The exceptionally good work of last year was accomplished under very unfavorable conditions at the beginning of the year for the reason that the finances of the board of education were then in bad shape and it required the utmost care and business acumen on the part of the board to extricate it from the slough of despond. By strict economy the desired end was accomplished. The financial condition is now satisfactory, which goes far to insure a successful year beginning next autumn. The members of the board are entitled to the thanks of the community for their able and faithful services. The school buildings are all The Lafayette in good condition. finest In the and the school, largest is practically completed and will city be ready for ocupancy next fall. in fashions that enthused the audience. Mr. Homer probably struck the keynote of tho situation the best when he said that Salt Lake people were not so dead as some of the other speakers intimated they were. Salt Lako, he said, was going ahead with a steady gait just as well as most other cities, and its growth was solid and substantial. The great work which the association should devote Itself to was to let the outside world know what we had in Salt. Lake and Utah generally in the way of resources and natural wealth; that done, the rest would take care of itself. The luncheon was served in the usual good style of tho Commercial club, under the personal direction of its able and courteous manager, Fisher S. Harris. o , 950,000 for Harness Horses.
