THE MERCHANTS, HOTEL.
A Few Of the Improvements Recently
Made and Contaminated.

Several improvements have recently
been made to the Merchants Hotel.
First, a new addition was built on
bullion street. This addition is two
stories, and contains five rooms. On
the lower floor are two sample rooms,
with broad shelves going clear around
the rooms. The smaller room is in.
tended for whisky and cigar drum
mers, and the larger one for drummers
in other lines of goods. On the sec.
ond floor there are three rooms ar.
ranged in suites, the parlor being com.
mon to both.
Over the range in the kitchen a
wide ventilator which carries all the
fumes and smell of edibles has
been erected, the we'll included and
The kitchen thus made twice as roomy
as before. The dining.room has also
been greatly improved by having the
wall repapered and the floor covered
with new carpets and oil cloths. Six
urge rooms have also been made for
the use of families.
The town is quite lively now, nights.
Night before last rs persons ate al
the Merchants dining-rooms between
s O'Clock p. m. and a. M, and this is
but sample of the night trade. In
future che Merchants Hotel will re.
main open continually, and the men
in the Office and bar-room will work
in eight hour shifts. r. e. Teeple,
a mixologist who has been at the
Broom Hotel, Ogden, since that place
opened, has been captured from that
institution and arrived this morning,
He is said to be as good barkeeper
as can be found on this side of the
Rockies.
Nor are these all. In few weeks,
carpenters and painters will be put to
work-the first at Notwithstanding
and the second at painting and paper.

made what it has been intended 70,

The Chinese who have been pack

This is at the rate of $40 per month ;

THE d. & r. q. X. Il.

River Next Year-The Aim of the
Managers to Follow the U. r. and
Compete With 1t.
A gentleman who has studied the
railroad situation thoroughly, during
the past summer, expresses it as his
conviction that the Denver & Rio
Grande will surely extend it's line to
Wood River, next spring and summer.
This gentleman, who has intimate bus.
mess relations with the President and
other high officials of the Rio Grande
road, says that for months past the Di-
rectors Of that company have discussed
the feasibility Of following their great
rival-the Union Pacifc-along the
route of the Oregon Short Line, aud
recently they decided to begin build
ing operations as early as practicable
next spring. In the meantime an
agreement already outlined, by which
the Central Pacific Railroad Company
agrees, under certain conditions, to
permit the Denver & Rio Grande to
lay third rail between Ogden and
Cor,nne, will be signed. This will,
in effect, bring the temporary ter
minus of the ID. & r. q. to Corinne, in
stead Of Ogden, Utah, where it now is.
From Corinne the road can be built to
Wood River in time for next falls
trade.
But the object of the d. & r. G..
in extending its line is not only to
come to Wood River, but to follow in
the wake of the Oregon Short Line
and take advantage Of whatever mis-
takes it may make. For instance, in
building the O. S. l.. along the Snake
river lava fields the Union Pacific
Managers left all the mining section
to the north of that line (such as the
Smokeys, Rocky Bar, etc., open. BY
shooting across the lava fields to
Crichton, on Camas Prairie, the d. &

mining districts from the o. S. l.. A

successfully disputed with the Woo
River branch of the o. S. l.. This
the TIMES informant says, is the pro
gramme agreed upon for next year.
The coming Of the d. & r. G. road
this gentleman says, will cheaper
freights considerably as, such is tn
cheapness of operating its mario,
gauge road, the y. & r. G.. can max
money on rates at which the u. I
would lose.
This is not a new departure c
change of policy on the part of tn
Managers of the D. & r. G.. roat
Years back, before the L. P. con
pany owned any road besides it's mai
line, the struggle between the d. &
G. and the U. p. companies began. b.
the Z. P. did not feel the compe
tition very much then, because OF til
great volume of its through bushes
Since then, however, other transcor
tinental lines have been constructe.
and the L. p. has been forced t
adopt the policy Of building feeders {
branch lines more extensively. 1t W.
this that led to the construction of til
Oregon Short Line. But, as otht
companies contested the through con
pany trade with the L. F., so the d.
Il. G. is now contesting with it for il
local trade; and to do this success.
fully it must lengthen its reach in pre-
portion as the L. P. extends it's line
The building of a competing line t
Wood River and Camas Prairie
therefore determined upon, and a,
other year will see the second road i
here.

She makes her bow to st. Paul audience

ton of this very trying part the Ohio State
Journal says:
Mile Rhea scored brilliant and hearth
ly recognized success by her rendition OF
Adrienne Lecouvreur at the Grand Opera
house last evening, and fully sustained the
reputation that has classed her with Mod
jeska, Janauscheck and Bernhardt. The
play is one that calls for a fneness and q
power of action that lie in few actresses,
and Mile Rhea, it may be safely said, sur
passed the highest expectations of her au-
dience. and won for her tho oft repeated
plaudits of one of the most enthusiastical-
ly appreciative assemblies that has gath
cred in Columbus in long period. At the
endings of the fourth and fifth acts she
was each time recalled twice, and when
the curtain fell at the close of the play
she was again brought out.

of wonderfully pathetic power and of

The Triumph of the Season - Hundreds
Unable to Gain Entrance TO the Build

The Opera house WAS altogether too small to
accommodate the crowd who desired to witness
the performance of CALENDARS consolidated col
ored minstrels, the house being fairly packed,
seating and standing room all occupied, and
hundreds turned away. And the performance
was worthy the immense audience, being fresh,
sparkling, new and full of merit from
beginning to end. The solos in the olio were
well sung, especially Wallace Kings "Will the
Roses Bloom Again. Dick Littles "The Banjo
Now Hangs Silent at the Door," and Billy
Green's ''The Raft" while Billy Kersand's
pretty Lips threw the audience into convul-
sions OF laughter. One of the gems of the
evening, if not the gem, was the lightning
Zouave drill and bayonet exercise of a
corps Of ten performers under the direc-
ton of Sergeant Simms, and concluding
with exhibitions of battlefield pictures: Await
ing the attack; skirmishers; the defense: rally
by fours; charge, and the dying Zouave The
three picanninies-lads of about twelve-in
songs and dance; accompanied by banjo and
tambOurine, won two hearty encOres as they de-
served. The se1tet also secured most en-
thusiastic recall, while Bob Mack supported by
averitable little bantam game cock, in his barn
yard sketches, furnished genuine
novelty. The closing scene preseni ed a
realistic sketch of steamboat landing on the
Mississippi, in which the company let them
selves loose, winding up the entertainment with
q carnival of fun, music and dancing, of the
genuine old plantation scene, with passing

Funeral Grafton.

A Teacher Who Objects To Bob IngersOIl's
Funeral Grafton.
The teacher in the Spring Valley high
school having requested the pupils to
select pieces for defamation, a son OF
Judge Farmer of that town, having com.
nitted Col. Ingersoll's celebrated address,
entitled "Where and WHITTIER" delivered at
the grave of Harry, little son of Detec.
tive George o. Miller, at the congressional
cemetery at Washington, he was ref used
the liberty of declaiming it by the
teacher, and suspended from the school fol
the violation of rule 8 of the Spring
Valley public schools, which reads as fol.
lows:
ABSENCE FROM EXERCISES pupil who
shall be absent from any composition or specia
exercise, or examination, and who fails to rem
der satisfactory excuse for such absence, shall
not be allowed to return to regular school work
until such part has been performed satisfactorily
to the teacher.
Judge Farmer demanded that his son be
reinstated, but his demand was refused
whereupon he appealed to Prof. Kiehle
superintendent of the board of public in
struction, giving the circum-
stauces, copy OF the aQQreSS committed
by the boy and his opinion of the merits
of the case, the document being quite vol
luminous and covering thirty pages
Of legal cap.
Prof. Kiehle in turn submitted the case
to Attorney General Hahn for his decision
who cited the opinion of that department
on May 2, 1882, on this subject, viz: That
in the absence of regulation on the subject
under consideration, the pupil being re-
| quired to declaim, and no selection hav-
ing been made for him, it would reason
ably follow that the pupil was
expected to and had the right to select his
own piece, subject to the rule that it should
contain nothing immoral, obscene, vulgar
lbelous or abusive.
The attorney general after taking the
points of Judge Farmers opinion into
consideration point by point, asserting in
his deductions that the right to make
pupils declaim was undoubted, and that
really there was no absolute right for the
pupil to select his defamation any more
than his studies, gave the following decis-
ion in the case:
ION evidence submitted to me there does
not seem to have been any violation OF
rule 9-and that is the only rule claimed
to have been violated; therefore, in my
opinion, the board were not justified in re-
fusing to re-instate the pupil"

Railroad Decisions.

CHICAGO, March lin the case of the
trustees Of Fosdick 81 Fish, against the
Chicago, Danville & Vincennes road, Judge
Blodgett of the federal court to-day made
a number of rulings. The road in ques-
ton was bought Under foreclosure, and be-
ing operated by the Chicago 81 Eastern
Illinois road, the court denied the motion
of the stockholders in the old Danville d
Vincennes, that the property be handed
back into the hands of a receiver, on the
ground that the Chicago Eastern Hi
nois is responsible for the operation. The
court also denied the motion for referee
to the master in chancery, pending hear
ing of the case, in which the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois is defendant, also a motion
to strike the bill from the files, on the
ground that the Chicago Eastern Illinois
claimed to be bona fide purchaser, and
might base right to decree.
