and curiosity. when there is such magni6-
cent scenery in this country. in Colorado.
Montana. Idaho. and other Western Ter
ritories T? We are afraid it will be ssv-
eral months before the people will benefit
by acting upon the Journals lint. A
spell of sea sickness during . voyage
across the Atlantic. aggravated by an oc-
cssional gale. may be unpleasant; the ne
cessity for procuring pass to enter France
and other refined countries. may be in
convenient; and tumble of several thou.
sand feet down an Alpine precipice may
be uncomfortable, until one gets
used to it: these are some of the
discomforts of trip to Europe
There may be deal of curiosity. but moi
much pleasure. in making trip across
the plains. where the opportunities to pro-
cure food and rest. or shelter from storms,
occur at intervals of twenty-five to fifty
miles; where one is liable to swap off his
scalp for half an ounce of lead at any
time; where it is daily occurrence fol
"road agents" to relieve tourists of theil
surplus funds. and kill them for Their
promptness in complying; where one

ard bowie-knives, out of pure sport
and numerous other slight inconvsnien.
ces. such as SHOWS sixteen feet deep. cold
weather that cannot bs measured by any
thermometer, water strongly impregnated
with alkali, etc. These are some Of the
pleasures of trip to the Rocky Noun
tain regions. This is partly the reason
why some people do not 60 there.

LIABILITIES OF STEAMBOATS, AS CAR
RIERs.-A case of some importance as
concerning the liabilities of steam boal
owners for money or valuables stolen
from passengers. baggage. was decided
in the Circnt Court of this district or
Saturday. In September a soldier nam,
ed Aaron Stewart. who had been paid
of at Fort LsavenwoHh, took passage
for this city on the steamer Mollie Dozier
He had placed his money. 1902. in his
carpet sack. which lie gave to the porter
OF the boat, receiving therefor q checf.
Upon arriving here he fonnd that his car.
pet sack had been ent open, and the
money abstracted. The owners of the
boat contended that they were only liable
for reasonable amount of baggage, and
could no. be held liable for money thus
insecurely conveyed. Judge Moody in
structed the jury that the giving Of a
check was equivalent to an express con.
tract. and that the plaintiff should recover
any amount he could prove to have been
abstracted from baggage covered by the
check. Tie jury found virdict of 1902
for the soldier.-&. Louis Dispatch.

Johnny Hook, bawling "Beef" in the
Revolution, seems to have had q prolific
progeny. The Jonny Hooks abound in
every city, village and cross road. If all
the Johnny Hooks were in the ranks and
made such charges as they make upon
their own couutrymen, the Southern Con-
federscy would establish its independence
ID six months. In sunshine or darkness,
victory or defeat, they would raise one
etsrnal cry of "Beef Beeff" He Is not
alone q Jew who is one outvsrdlv. If
one of our modern Spectator had been
with the Jews in the wilderness he
would have been up in the morning
before they were awake, collected
the mama, and sold it to the chill
dren of Israel for five dollars an ounce. If
he hrd gone to spy out the promised land
he woul1 have converted the grapes into
wine and sold it at three hundred dollars Q
gallon. Is he had been priest he would
have sold the sacrifices to the highest bid
der. If he had 8 soul he would sell it for
a mine pence, and, being acquainted with
the market value of the article, would
rightf0lly eonclude he had made 8 good
bargain.

Nothing seems more iacoagruouE with

This railroad, though to be only forty

probably be able to reach by steam every
