Show DEE-ELIGHTED. An incident occurred on Main and Second South Street the other day which caused widespread wide-spread surprise among the people who witnessed the occurrence, the aforesaid surprise being so profound that several of the spectators hastily left in search of a camera. The flutter and consternation were provided by Senator and Apostle Reed Smoot. Reverend Dr. Paden and Mr. J. Mostyn Owen were in deep consultation con-sultation and incidentally blocking the sidewalk, when the gentleman from Provo loomed up loftily and approached them with extended hands. The spectators were awe-stricken and were convinced con-vinced that they were about to ace an incipient riot. Their surprise was consequently intense when the outstretched digits of the po1'cal prophet were firmly and heartily clasped by the Reverend Paden and Mr. Owen. The conversation between the triumvirate continued for several mo- 1 ments, and the purport of it will probably never ( be publicly divulged, but will remain forever a 1 matter of interesting speculation. It is presumed, however, that Messrs. Paden and Owen warmly congratulated Mr. Smoot upon the fact that he had so long retained his senate seat, and that the senator in turn ardently thanked them for their hearty co-operation and the assistance they had rendered him in Washington. |
