Show LOCAL JOTS. .'. "Iolanthe" at the Theatre to-night. Wells, Fargo & Co. to-day received two Ken tuck gold bars, valued at $10,000, and one bar of Vienna bullion, $1,7"2:' total value, f 11,752. There will be an important meeting of the Congregational Church and Society at Independence In-dependence Hall at 7:30 this evening. A general gen-eral attendance is desired. The- official announcement of the appoint-meat appoint-meat of F. P. Shelby as assistant traffic ' manager of the Union Pacific, with head quarters in Salt Lake, was made yesterday. There are now twenty-three cases of diph-- diph-- theria in the city, and the yellow signals are daily increasing. But that is not all. What is the city going to do in the way of providing pro-viding the necessary means to check the . alarming scourge? I The children's party given in the Salt Lake Theatre yesterday afternoon and prolonged pro-longed into the evening was a merry treat to some 700 little ones, and quite a number of big children who could not resist the fasci nations of the joyous dance. Mr. W. A. Burke, accompanied by Mr. White, his late successor to the office of rail-l rail-l road pool commissioner at this citv, went to . Ogden this morning, where Mr. White will be shown a few points connected with the ; business of the principal station. .. Mr. Parley Williams stated to Judge Zane this morning that he had received an application appli-cation from Frederick Hopt, now in the pen-1 ! itentiary under sentence of death, asking the privilege to be allowed to come to the city to-morrow to consult his attorneys about his case. The Court granted the request. The long-established and ever-popular .. Home Dramatio Club of this city comprises much of the best local ability known to Salt Lake, and the simple announcement that they present "Confusion" Friday matinee and Friday and Saturday nights of this week Iis sufficient to secure a large patronage. Seats will be on sale to-morrow. The cranky critic on the Salt Lake Herald : receives another reminder that his musical i . eaucauon is not as perfect as he imagines, the strictures this time coming through the columns of his own Bheet over the signatures , of B. B. and Madame Young. After all, there is not much importance in the difference differ-ence between A natural and A flat to an individual bo regardless of "trifling facts" as is the Herald reporter. "Iolanthe" was presented for the first I time by the Salt Lake Opera Company in j the Theatre this afternoon. The large audi- ;' enoe were highly pleased and the manage ment of "Iolanthe" made proud. Every- thing moved with spirit, and Prof. H. S. 1 Krouse is to be complimented upon his suc cess. Seats for to-night and to-morrow night are selling rapidly. The City Council last evening approDri-ated approDri-ated $150 for the reimbursement of SI A. Kenner for services rendered. Thes9 "services" "ser-vices" were doubtless the work performed in the recent "L. and L." cases; but how about the salaries of Mr. Richards and Mr. Moyle? It would have been perhaps too j heavy a showing had all these salaries ap- ! paared under one appropriation. By the way, it may happen that Mr. Richards will have tne modesty not to apply for his stipend, inasmuch in-asmuch as he has been absent on church and personal business. Verily, it comes hard on the taxpayers of Salt Lake to carry on the arduous and responsible labors of prosecuting prosecut-ing the city's cases. |
