Railroad Racket.

The Utah Central r. r. Is building
a handsome depot at Salt Lake City.
The grading of the National Park
branch of the Northern Pacific rail-
road is now in progress.
The Oregon & California railroad
becomes an integral part of the
Northern Pacific under lease for
80 years.
The people of Missoula closely esti-
mate that the western end of the
Northern Pacific will reach that city
by July 1st.
It is now reported in railroad cir.
c}es that the regular trains will not
run beyond Bozenlon until the track
lay ers reach Townsend.
The Union Pacific officials are dis
cussing the feasibility of shortening
the time Of the express trains be-
tween Omaha and Ogden. They al
so talk of reducing the time of the
emigrant train from four to three
days. - -
The Northern Pacific track reached
'Gallatin City on the 18th inst, but
as the railroad runs on the opposite
side of the river from the town, and
as there is no bridge between, Gala
tin City will not be made a forward
ing point for freight.
The highest trestle on the line of
the Northern Pacific is that across
Coriacan defile, about twelve miles
west of Missoula. When finished
the track level will be 800 feet in air.
The length of this tressle is 2, 400 feet.
The height thus far is 125 feet.

More "Gag Law"

The aspect of affairs at the Malta,
and North western mining claims
has been somewhat threatening ever
since the arrest of Joseph Ellis, John
Jones, Frank Forquer, James Burns
and Edmun Williams last week on
the complaint of H. G.. Bodley, joint
owner with A. c. Witter Of the
Malta mine, on the charge of unlaw-
full interference. Both parties have
seemed determined to hold the fort,
and beth have occupied the disputed
ground with a large force of men.
Although the owners of the North
western were already under bonds to
answer to the previous charge OF
violating the ''gag law" the owners
of the Malta yesterday had their
foreman, T. c. Miles, enter a new
complaint against them under the
same law. Warrants were issued
and the men were again arrested last
evening and taken before Justice f.
A. Nichols, who admitted them to
bail in the sum of $3.50 each.

Freaks of a Female Maniac.

ATCA1sON, April 2O.-A sensation
has been created here. A woman
named Clara J. Wilson was taken be-
fore the grand jury of Harrison coun-
ty, on the charge of arson. As she
refused to testify she was sent to jail
for contempt OF court. She escaped
from there and was lost sight of. To
day the chief Of police here received
a letter from the prosecuting attor-
ney of Harrison county, in which.
among other things, he has made the
woman say: II have burned more
than one building and before
Wednesday night some of .Atchison
will be in ashes, like 8. A. Dahle's
house. Nobody knows my name and
will burn half of Atchison and kill
all l can, and then 60 to some other
place and kill ana burn more. / will
be as mean as I can" As several at
tempts have been made during the
last two weeks to. start incendiary
fires in the business part of this city,
this gave the clue and to-day the
sequel came. Dan Weeks, who is
lessee of the exposition grounds,
came to the city on horseback saying
that the stalls and barns on the
grounds were in flames, and that he
had chased a woman who set the fire
over fields and prairie. The officers
started. to find her, which they did
after a long chase and as she sunk
exhausted in a ditch. She was
brought to town and placed in jail
where she is now a raving maniac.
The woman also fired earlier in the
day the main staircase of an apartment
of. the exposition building which
was extlnguished. She also fired Col.
Browns granary which with his
fences were destroyed. Her people
have been communicated with, and
it is expected they will take her home.

Schwatka and the Ducks.

Lieut.. Frederick Schwatka, COM
mander of the late Franklin search
expedition, is detailing in the New
York Forest and Stream some of his
Arctic hunting adventures. He tells
this funny story of his surveying ex-
perience in North Hudson's Bay:
"The compass is a sluggish, unre-
liable instrument in the northern
part of the bay, and it became neces.
sary to establish good long north
and south line while conducting my
surveys, and for reasons unnecessary
to explain, I fixed upon the expedient
of doing so by the elimination of Ju-
piter. My north point was fixed near
camp, and the south one approxi-
mately about a mile away across a
lake; and one night l sent Henry to
it to fix it as accurately as possible by
this method. l gave him a small
torch to define his position, and then
expected to put him on the meridisn
by signals at the instant of culmina-
ton which l kn.w. My shotgun
case contained a duck-caii, and l
fixed on it as good instrument to
be heard a Ion Z distance, and
told Henry that one Qu0ck
meant the right, while two meant
the left. The night came and Henry
took his place, and I could see that
he would be out of the way even a
quarter of an hour ahead; and gave
a Quock that sent him nearly as far
out of the way On the other side.
Qudck, Q,.ack, was sent to him, and
he had just gone about half way back
and nearly where / wanted him,
when tn ere came floating over the
lake quack, quack. That dragged
him way out again. A single
signal from my call to rec
tify this was answered by
about half dozen single and double
calls all over the lake; and l soon
found that I had stirred up about q
hundred ducks, all of them fully edu-
Gated in the art of surveying, and
most strenuous rivals in superintend-
ing this particular job. I at once
gave up the quack method and re-
turned to the standard rules of the
regular school, but I wasted bag of
shot on that lake next day, and we
lived for week on Jupiter birds, as
Henry called them"

SANDS g. BOTOE.
Our Sunday Morning Chat.

We wish to say to the numerous
readers of the Sunday MINER, that
our spring stock is now about COM
plete in every department. If you
haven't been to see US within week,
you haven't seen much of this new
stock, for it has nearly all come with
in the time mentioned. It is the
largest and most attractive stock we
have ever had at this season of the
year, and prices are in your favor.
We mean that the wholesale prices
of some goods are little lower than
they have been and that we have
made corresponding reductions. We
are always glad to make reductions
when we can do so, for it stimulates
trade.
Two lots of Newport sashes came
and went before many of you knew
we had them. We could have sold
as many more if we had had them.
Yesterday we received our third lot;
SO now we can supply you. We have
them in all the desirable evening
shades, and no other article of. =
lady's dress is more appropriate for
the theatre or skating rink. It
would puzzle sailor to understand
the various ways in which this sash
can be tied and adjusted, for it can
be so arranged that it will make any
figure as perfect as though chisled by
a sculptor.
Another large lot Of ladies' neck
wear has been received which dis
counts any previous lot for beauty
and style.
Silver ornaments for the hair are
here, and each is a gem. There is
nothing for so small an outlay that
looks so well. 1t is such little orna-
ments that give the finishing touch
to dress. They don't cost much, but
they at once captivate the eyes.
We have received during the past
week an elegant line of cashmeree in
black and colors, and there's perhaps
nothing in the way Of dress-goods
that looks so we'll for the price, nor
nothing more fashionable.
We have at last found medium
priced black silk that we will quar-
antee not to cut nor wear shiny.
This guaranty amounts 10 this: If
the silk should cut or wear shiny in
any reasonable time, bring it back
and we will refund every cent you
may have paid for it. That's what
me mean and that's what We'll do.
We have some elegant costumes
and wraps in our suit department,
that have been received within the
last few days. There are too many
of them to particularize and they are
too pretty to attempt to describe.
SANDS & BOYCE.
n. B.-This is the season for tents
and wagon-covers, and please re-
member that we have them in all
the usual sizes. If you wish to buy,
probably we can save you money.

Efforts to Recover Judge McCo-
mas Son.

FORT SCOTT, Ks, April 2O.-The
Monitor OF this city has received a
letter from Mr.. i. F. Ware, brother
in-law of Judge McComas, recently
killed by Indians near Silver City. 1t
gives an outline of the situation in
the Indian country and the efforts be-
ing made to recover Charles McCo-
mas, the little son Of the Judge, who
was captured by the Indians when
they killed his parents. The good Of
fees of the governors of Chihuahua
and Sonora, Mexico, have been Sc
cured, a large reward has been offered
and photographs of the child circula-
ted throughout the entire Indian
country. The whereabouts OF the
boy are not known, and but little
hope is entertained Of his re overy
during hostilities. Should truce
occur he may be obtained; but should
the party in whose hands he is be at
tackled by our troops or by the Mexi-
cans, no doubt he would be killed at
once. The letter says: The feeling
against the Indians among the people
throughout Arizona is very intense,
and they are strongly opposed to al
lowing any Indians on the reservation
to remain in Arizona"

Dynamite in Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, April 20 The Amer
lean express agents of this city to-day
discovered a package of dynamite
weighing 125 pounds, which was
shipped from Newark, New Jersey,
by Adams express. and turned over to
the American company on Thursday
at Chicago. It bears no mark to in
dicate its deadly contents, but WAS
directed to the Milwaukee Cement
company. When delivered by the
American express company, Dover,
the officer in the cement company's
employ, said it was dynamite. The
package was returned to the Amerl-
can Office, where it was laid on the
sidewalk till ten o'clock. The cement
company claims it is only lot Of
fuses, but experts say the amount is
sufficient to blow the express train to
atoms or the whole block. The pack
age is 18 inches long, 81 wide, and. 8
deep.
Geo. II. Paul, president Of the c.
ment company, said tonight it was
not known whether the box contained
fuses or dynamite. He spoke of the
matter lightly, saying it was common
to send all kinds of explosives by ex-
press, though more usually perhaps,
by water. He said the quarry COM
panies throughout Wisconsin were
in daily receipt of Poland and Her
cules powder. The box received to-
day was part of an order and would
not have been shipped unless con-
sidered safe. The express agents say
the case will he investigated and the
responsible parties brought to justice.

their productions upon the

hours, and other manufacturers
put a proportionate number of
their productions upon the
market each day. Among
others, which appeared to your cor
respondent as great wonders in ma
chinery, were the mammoth saw
mills of Wisconsin. One which he
visited at Necedah, owned by George
B. Burch 4 Co., saws its 100000
feet of lumber each twelve hours of
day time during the running months
of the year. And this is done with
out board being touched by hand
until it reaches the yard some dis
tance from the mill. Automatic
machinery takes the logs from the
water, carries them to rotaries which
size them, thence through gang OF
thirty-two saws, then to the clipper
and trimmer, which makes each
beard precisely the same length and
width, and then loads the lumber on
trucks for the yard
But time at my command and
space at yours forbid, at this time,
further mention of the marvellous
works of machinery which may be
witnessed here. The fruits of these
works are seen upon every hand.
While they have cheapened the price
of their productions, they have also
cheapened the price of labor, built up
powerful monoplies and aristocracies
in the land and dug a, chasm be-
tween classes in society which
money alone can bridge. Whether
the world has gained in happiness as
much as it has in prosperity by the
application of steam to the econo-
mics of life is left to the scholar in
general ethics to determine.
