The Recent Heavy Rainfell There. Fruit Crops Generally Looking Favorable. Corne lence ¢f The Be Saur Lake Ciry, August 20,— Unusual and exceedingly heavy rains have occurred in various and widely separate portions of this region during the past two or three wecks, | doing much damage to saw mills and oanyon roads and bri and to fields and pastures in the valleys. Among the towns that have suffered are Alta, American Fork and Alpine in this neighborhood, Pinto and Or- deraello in the far south and in Castle Valley in the southeast. From the last named place it is reported that on Sunday last at Cottonwood Springs, on the railroad grade in that valley, acloud burst and washed away the entire mercantile store of R. R. Hop- kins, with its assorted merchandise and supplies.

There is a species of bird's eye birch, but i®is very scarce. An evidence of the| weightand solidity of the wood is the fact that it will sink after being a few days on the water. This is a slight drawback to the work of having it conveyed to saw mills, One of the prineipal means resorted to is binding 1t together with pine logs, and thu is brought to the mill, but pine can- not always be found where birch grows, and it is then necessary to haul it, sometimes a great distance, with the aid of horses—Toronto Globe, Aug. 12, cept a little steel. A cloud burst in Soldiercanyon, the main traveled road from the north to Castle Valloy, and waehed out the canyon road so that it is impossible to convey supplies. Another cloud burst near the county seat of Emery county, situate in this valley known Jas Castle Dale, and did considerable damage. The history of the washouts in other places is almost identical, but I am happy to say the loss of life has been smnl?‘ Yesterday morning Mrs, Betsy Ann Eldredge, the wife of General Horace J.

A fmrrible murder was 'committed at Moab, one of the outlying south- eastern settlements, a short time ago. A storekeeper named John Kelam- bury was murdered one evening when alone in his store. Certain citizens heard shots fired in the = direction of his building, and a number procoeded to the place, when, after some delay, they found Kelambury dead. Tt was found that three pistol shots had en- tered his body. 'Nu facts could be elicited at the coroner's inquest as to the cause of the crime or who perpe- trated it. ‘The heated spell appears to have passed, leaving but little snow on the highest peaks of the Wasatch range that surround this valley, and trom whence our city veceives its supply of water.

From a Very Old and Intimate Friend. Washington Correspondence New York Herald. To-day Captain Hsnry, Marshal of the District and an old friend of the President, talked with your corres- ondent about the patient's habits of [:fu, and more particularly about his dyspepsia. He was an old army friend s wuH, and the two men liave been intimate for years. ‘“The President,” said Marshall Henry, ‘“has always been a delightful table companion. He would eatand talk while the others ate and listened. No sooner did he comie to the table than he began to be entertaining. No one could interest a table circle like he, and his onelittle social vanity, if it may be so called, was that he delighted to shine in con- versation, and he always did. This was a trait of his earlier days as well as of the latter times. I think it was developed chiefly at college. Inthose plain New England boarding houses in collegiate towns they rarely gave more time to a meal than twenty, or at most twenty-five minutes, and as a rule they ate from first to last of the meal, and then got away from the table as quickly as possible. Thus while they ate. Garfield talked, bolting his food between remarks, and as a re- s1lt we find him to-day a confirmed dyspeptic.” “‘Did he ever talk to you about the condition of his stomach?” ““Oh, yes; we have talked of that often and often, and he has always readily admitted that his trouble grew out of his own carclessness. 1 said to him once: ‘Why do you talk so much while you eat? You do not masticate your food properly.’ He said he knew that, but would almost a8 soon have a badstomach as be quiet at meal times, He told me then that he was frequently required by the pressure of business to go direct from the table to his desk nmf forced toap- ply himself at once to the work in }mnd, and that as he leaned over his papers his head has burned and throbbed so that he had to lie down for an hour or two, and have his tem- ples bathed with cold water.” WANTS T0 GO TO MENTOR, monism. A bill has n introduced in the legislature of Georgia for the suppression of Mormonism in that state. The Mormon preach- ors have been very successful y late years in preaching in their in the southern states, and have made Georgia their headquarters. What special restrictions, if any, be inaugurated against the hoidan there is not yet decided. Good and pious politicians, and politicians neither good nor pious, have not been very successful, as a rule, in making a po- litical issuo out of the wrongs of Mormonism, Somehow or another the result never pans out as was ex- peoted. Mormonism is certaiuly ex- tending the area over which it con- trols & preponderating influence, but at the same time non-Mormons are growing in wealth and numbers in its strongholds, and areexercising an in- fluence little dreamed of by the ortho- dox saints a decade or so ago, Bruroxrn, Daring Attempt at Robbery, Correspandence of The Bee, Greexwoon, Neb,, August 22— Quite a sensation was caused in this ‘‘Have you seen the president since he was wounded?” ‘‘Not to talk to him at any length.” “Do you know whether he talked others killed it with their hoes axes, Since this last spell ho has not spoken above a whisper.

Nor did she on Tues- day give up hope when everybody else thought there was none. To-day she came from the sick chamber smil- ing. I know she has deep apprchen- sions, but she conceals them well, and certainly never has relinquished hope altogether.” e — Adventures With Alligators. Hawkinsville (Ga.) Dispatch A few days ago a party of citizens visited the Alapaha in search of fish, which abound in great numbers in that stream and are easily caught at this season. The party stirred up a hole with their hoes “and poles and seined out hundreds. In churning up the water a huge alligator was dis- turbed in his quiet repose beneath the still waters, and he began to make trouble for the fishermen. The fishermen were determined to *‘clean out” the hole and have fish or fight. Several of the party led by Jim Paul and commanded by Lawson Smith (who sat on the bank at a safe distance),went into the water to run the alligator out. Several of them scized the 'gator, some by the head, some by the body, and some got “‘tail hold,” and right out of the water they came with the amphibious crea- ture, which appeared as much sur- vrised as disgusted at its own weak- ness and the strength of its antago- nists, Out on the land they came, but in an instant the ’'gator made a grand effort, and, with one stroke of his powerful tail, knocked one of aen headlong back into the water, At this junctere of affairs several of fishermen jumped on the back of the the the the and The 'gator measured nine feot in length.

Mr. Howell thought he would stir him up so that he could pass. The alligator, on being aroused rom his peacetul slumber, made a hasty retrcat for the littlo branch, closely pursued by Mr. Howell, who was armed with half of a fence rail, and soon overtook and com- menced to attack him with the rail; Saurian, not liking this treatment, showed fight, and attacked Mr, How- ell with deadly intent.

Both are excellent tra- peze pertormere: but the burden of the work was sustained by Ella Zuila, whose petite figure is well rounded, and whose comely face was almost con. stantly wreathed with smiles. During a sories of aerial flights from a small platform in the gallery to the out- stretched arms of George Loyal, who was suspengded head downwards from @ trapeze near the ceiling of the thea- ter and close to the proscenium, she displayed much mnerve and graceful ease. She occasionally turned somer- saults, and subsequently, aided by Mr. Loyal, gave n great variety of difficult acts in rapid succession. ~ During one of these flights she was blindtoldea and a sack enveloped lher figure (save the arms) from the waist upwards. Their chief attraction was their clos- ing feat. Ella Zuila having ascended to a trapeze close to the roof of the theater, a large cannon, with its muz- zle in nearly a perpendicular position, was wheeled upon the stage. Mr. Loyal dropped into the muzzle, leav- ing only his head and shoulders ex- posed to view, and at once exclaimed ‘Fire!" when thecannon was discharged and Mr. Loyal shot upwards through the air and caught Zuila’s hands, while clouds of smoke ascended from the cannon’s mouth.” RHEUMATISM, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, Backache, Soreness of the Chest, Gout, Quinsy, Sore Throat, Swell- ings and Sprains, Burns and % Scalds, General Bodily Pains, | Yooth, Ear and Headache, Frosted Feot and Ears, and all other Pains and Aches.
