- . . , TfJ fltM . By F. M. KIMMELL. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. HEBE'ti a welcome to you , fair and prosperous Utah ! THERE is little to be reasonably expected from this congress. A CALL has been issued for more gold bonds to pay the rtm- ning expenses of Uncle Sam's household. EVERY genuine article has its spurious counterpart ; and patriotism - ism has not escaped the common fate. It is daily counterfeited. JOHN ; r. LAMBoRN of Indianola , representative from his district in the last legislature , is the newest candidate for state auditor.-Lin- coln Journal. IT would be difficult , perhaps , to decide which paper has the more fun and satisfaction out of the matter : The Culbertson Era in writing "roasts" of Rosewater , or the Lincoln Journal in copying , the same. Both seem to be having a gleefully hilarious time. And still Edward survives , and we wonder - der at crime and the financial sit- nation ! THE First National Bank of Lincoln recently celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary and at the same time very materially strengthened its directorate , which now embraces such men as C. E. Perkins , president of the C.B. & Q. ; G. B. Harris , vice president of the C. , B. & Q. ; W. R. Kelley , general - al solicitor of the U. P. , and other men of means and position. SOME of the newspaper gang insist that Congressman Meikle- john is hopelessly Jonahed by the Slaughter ter and Ed. Rosewater in his gub ernatorial aspirations. And the Bee asserts that Regent Merrill prizes his six years regency bird in-hand more highly than he does E the two years governorship bird S in-the-bush. But it is early , very early yet. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . , NEITHER Congressman Reed or Senator Allison seem to suit Supreme - reme President Traynor of the A. P. A. ; but either of them will go with the G.O.P. He concludes an official circular by adding , that in the event M any indication of the Republican party "truckling to Rome" , that "a new party should and must result" . All of which is important , if true. Also sad. CHICAGO newspapers are inveighing - veighing against the ' fads which have attached themselves to the public school system there. It is asserted that pupils are surfeited with fancy frills under the name of public instruction , and leave the schools unable to spell or reader or cipher properly. Such comment - ment is applicable to the Omaha schools , as The Bee has often pomted out.-Omaha Bee. TYRONE. Roadniaster Kimpton went to Indianola , Monday. Some of us are anxiously waiting for a boarding place in the proposed - ed county poor farm. J.C.Moore has bought the northwest - west quarter of section 17. Consideration - sideration X800.

School was resumed in district 1 , last week , the diphtheria having disappeared. Charlie Schaefer has been visiting - ing his uncle up in the Curtis neighborhood. A skating party , last Saturday night ; enjoyed the ice on the Republican - publican river at this point. . Gabie Longnecker sustained a slight dislocation of her elbow as the result of a little scuffle with a schoolmate. Nathan Tubbs' new house was properly warmed by a dancing party , Saturday night. The party was small , but a pleasurable occasion - sion is reported to have been had , for even the sedate Mr.Tubbs par- ticipated. New Year day over thirty invited - ted guests enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. John Longnecker. A royal good time was had , the enjoyment of the company being marred alone by the fact that Mrs. Longnecker herself was too ill to participate in the festivities. We are very sorry that a mistake - take of ours added to the deep grief of Mr. and Mrs.Taylor Quig- I-ey at death of their little daughter - ter Mabel. We were informed that the little one was scarcely ill and retired without attendance ; but this was a mistake : She was carefully - fully watched fiver all night by her anxious parents and a few moments before her death was discovered her mother had placed her in a more comfortable position , but so easily did the little life go out that the father at her bedside saw not the change until after it had really taken place.
