IN th0 Public.

wish to state q few facts in re-
gard to various rumors which are aaoat :
First.-There has been no reduction
in the Centennial rates at any place.
Second.-A rumor is in circulation
that the X. P, do not reduce their fare
any on account of the Centennial. Sew
eraI parties have purchased local tickets
to Kansas City, and taken Centennials
from there. The fact is, it costs just
four dollars and forty cents more Tor
every passenger purchasing tickets to
Kansas City instead of taking through
tickets from Saina. The K. 2. deduct
% per cent.-the same as oil roads-on
Centennial tickets.
Third have tickets over all the
routes that any agent has, land the fare is
Just the same for all, there being no COM
petition at Kansas City, st. Louis, Chi
cago or any other point.
Fourth.-Some weeks since there was
short war between the roads going
east from Chicago on regular tickets,
and the fare run down 50 to $40 be-
tween there and eastern cities.
AT the same time, however, there was
not a cent cut on Centennials; simply,
on tickets one way, but finally COM
promise was reached and the fight was
over. The only advantage was to par
ties going east to stay longer than the
Centennial tickets would allow.
The reduced rate tickets are only
good for and days, and not good to
stop off at oil, SO the war is of no &C
count to any, except such as can go
through withou: stop, and who wish to
stay over 60 days. In word, the cheap
est way TO go east is to purchase the
regular Centennial tickets from Salina
to Philadelphia, or New York and re-
turn.
Fifth.-There will be no reduction in
the Centennial ratio at any ono place un-
less there is at all points, and should
any be made or any change in the limit
of time, ETC., shall be very happy to in
form our patrons at the first opportu-
nifty.
In conclusion let me say, that any
desired will be cheerfully
given, and can be obtained by address
ing or calling on the undersigned, and
for the benefit of all concerned, | would
suggest that all persons wishing through
tickets, either Centennial or otherwise,
should make their purchases the day
before starting, when we can have plenty
of time to select routes, and be sure of
obtaining just what is wanted.
Respectfully, FRANK G. Jackson.

NOT MICH.

Col. Inman, of the Ellsworth Reporter
in the last issue of his paper, comes out
in long article in opposition to Col
Phillips for Congress. One Of his ar.
guments is that $50 long as Ellsworth
and Salina are to each other in the rela.
ton of rival towns, just SO long hcr
Congressman cannot and will not do
anything for Ellsworth" We claim the
privilege of knocking that argument in.
to a cooked hat by asserting that Salina
and Ellsworth are not rival towns. In
the first place Salina has three times as
many inhabitants as Ellsworth. Salina
does more business in 4 week than Els
worth in O month. Salina is the great
grain center of the West, and Ellsworth
can in no way make pretensionS to that
claim. We wish it distinctly understood
that Salina has no riUdt west of Topeka.
The Colonel may have just cause to OPP
pose Col. Phillips, but the ground for
that opposition cannot be based upon
tho point we have mentioned.

Death of Iules Ecoaey.

" ~ Z
jules Eeoffey, one of the earliest
pioneers Of this section, died Sunday
afternoon at his ranch near Fort Lara
mie. Mr.. Eeoffey was sent TO this
country when the American Fur Com
pany extended its trafhe throughout the
great northwest. He ealne with our
old friend, Colonel Bullock, and Adolph
Curry, and there are not three men in
the whole west who enjoy a wider ac-
quaintance than these. For several
years past Mons. Ecoffey has been pro-
prietor of a ranch ON the North Platte,
between this city and the Black Hills,
and his house has been a favorite
stopping place for the gold-hunters.
His death is believed to have resulted
from injuries inflicted upon him by a
worthless hummer known as nStone-
wall,'' who attacked him here some
three months ago and administered a
terrible castigation. We never heard
the facts of the encounter, but there
a woman at the bottom of the
trouble. The remains of the dead
pioneer IN 10Y en- route to this city,
and.will be inferred here.

The storm.

Shortly before noon ON Sunday the
lowering sky redeemed its stormful
promise, and softly-falling flakes of
feathery wilderness filed the rarifed air,
covering the dry and dusty face of
mother earth with a damp and spotless
mantle. Rapidly increasing in inten-
sity, the storm prevailed throughout the
afternoon, night closing down with
no apparent subsistence. Daylight of
Monday found the snow still falling,
and 1t continued up to a late hour in
the afternoon, when the heavy clouds
began breaking up, but slowly, as
though the storm king We're reluctant
to desist from burying this wicked
world.
The storm extended over a vast re-
gion, and the fall was heavy, being here
about a foot in depth, and about the
same depth along the railroad between
here and Laramie City, while to the
eastward the depth decreased, there
being but three inches at Pine Pluffs,
43 miles away. Reports from Denver,
LOG miles south, and Pueblo, 226 miles
south, show the fall to have been as
heavy there as here.
There was little OIL no wind with the
snow, so that the railroads have not
been troubled, all trains arriving and
departing on time yesterday. Should
the wind rise to-day there would no
doubt be a slight blockade west and
south, but if to-day prove pleasant the
will not bother trains at all, as it
will have melted and solidified too
much to then be drifted by the gentle
zephyrs which occasionally prevail here
abouts.

Cloud Peak, Big Horn Range.

Travellers have agreed that Cloud
Peak is the highest mass Of the Big
Born mountains, but they have never
described its peculiar outlines. The
abruptness and grotesqaeness of the
contour of the topmost crag Is the fea-
ture by which Cloud Peak should here
after be known Its sister peaks are
more symmetrical; no. other in the
whole range is ragged and broken in
form From the indications apparent
from an examination made through a
telescope it might be concluded that,
after its ~upheaval, it had cracked and
fallen asunder, leaving a wide gap be-
tween b two fragments, whose edges
have been dulled by natural erosion.
There are two great knobs, the north
ern one the larger and higher; and be-
tween them drifted SNOW lies hundreds
of feet deep. The form of the noun
tain from its base, for half of its height,
is that of a bulky cone; but cliffs then
rise vertically at least 1000 feet without
a break where snow could lodge to
v the gloomy granite. On the
northern side of the main knob a pom
derous block of frozen snow overhangs
the precipiee. and casts a black shadow
to the rugged depths of a canon.
Northwest of Cloud Peak is another
summit nearly as lofty, with features
indicative of ancient volcanic action.
There remains a circular rim like that
of a crater. Minor pinnacles bear the
apparent evidence of having been cast
in molten granite and having cooled
before the commissions Of the igneous
masses beneath the earth crust had en-
tirely ceased. They retain almost fan
tastic shapes.

A vigilan. Officer and His Work.

When Deputy Sheriff Joe Fisher gets
after an eyil-doer, there is no such
thing as failure in the air. On Thurs
day last a certain nan was robbed of a
watch, revolver and some money by
Thomas Riley, a soldier, and a civilian
named J.. w. Pshaw. On Saturday Joe
Fisher heard of it, and before night
both the thieves were in durance vile
and the stolen property had been
restored. To-day indictments are pre-
pared and the culprits will soon suffer
the penalties of the law.
On Monday Joe received a telegram
from Sheriff McPhee, of Sweetwater
county, stating that a prisoner named
Cole had escaped from the jail at Green
River, and had robbed o man of $3.50,
Twenty minutes after the receipt of the
telegram, Joe "a locking Cole into the
county Jail here. Comment is super
fluous. +,

As the troops are withdrawn from
the Kansas frontier, SO step by step the
redskins follow up the retiring blue
coats. Less than two weeks ago Fort
Riley, n of the frontier posts situated
near the mouth of the Republican river,
vas virtually evacuated. Company c.,
of the Second Artillery, which was the
only garrison of that post, was ordered
to Washington, and several hundred
thousand dollars worth Of stores, as
well as the frontier settlements along
the Republican river, were left with
just one lieutenant and two enlisted
men as a stationary garrison. The
result of this policy of withdrawal of
troops from the several military posts
in the Indian country is just beginning
to be felt.
The killing of young Diemer, men,
toned Sunday, was done by a band sup
posed to have just come from the Black
Hills, as they departed southwark after
doing the deed, and were met by two
scouts who saw Diemer's clothing and
horse in their possession.
Cattle-raisers from the section of
country infested express the opinion
that there will be much trouble on the
frontier with the Indians during the
coming winter and spring. The Utes
are getting very troublesome and are
''showing their teeth'' again. The
Cheyennes, Arapahoes and Sioux are
coming down from the Black Hills, and
having failed to lay in their usual
amount of buffalo meat during the
hunting season, are looking for any
thing they can pick up. They appear
to be well armed and mounted and
holder than before. They are at present
engaged in killing what few buffalo
they can find on the Republican, but
they seem to be making their way
southwark. The Colorado cattle men
have already taken the field, and will
assist in driving out the troublesome
Indians. IS
