A First Railway Ride.

A young lady well known on Wood
river, who was born and raised in Idaho.
and had never seen q steamboat or rail-
way car, recently left for trip south,
and much interest was EXPRESSED here
By her friends as to her first impressions
of the onter world. She always evinced
such an even demeanor that many friends
believed she would pass as an old trav-
eler, but a letter just received from her
escort proves that a young lady, even
one of Idaho's fairest, and one that can
calmly regard the wild Indian on the
warpath, is unequal to the occasion of
calmly passing through the surprises OF
modern progress.
She became skittish at the approach of
the evening lightning express, with its
great bull's-eye headlight, and actually
pranced when the train neared the de-
pot and blew long, shrin whistle. Her
friends could not quiet her or coax her,
and finally, rather than be left, they
blindfolded the young lady and by main
force landed her safely on the train.
The letter remarks it was fortunate the
windows were SO small as she frequently
attempted to get out, and could not be
convinced that the telegraph poles, the
hills and houses were not all whirling
past her as she sat in the car, and every
time they crossed bridge she shut her
eyes, believing the cars were flying in
the air across the rivers. Wood River

Mr.. Edward Clinton, chief clerk of the
grain department of the Erie Railway,

respect due to the majesty of the law.

Clinton hurried to the justice to beg that

that of the boy. But Themis was inexor-

Adah Isaacs Menken's Husband.

Picking up a quarter here, half
dollar there, when he is fortunate enough
to meet some one who knew him in his
better days, D. K. Russell, once we'll
known commedian, manages to exc out
out a miserable existence. Partial
paralysis had almost deprived him of the
power of speech, work being thus put
out of the question for him. He is to be
seen occasionally around the Lindell
Hotel, and the fact that he has not
starved to death is largely due to the
charity he has received there. Sickness
and hardships have made him wreck.
''He has been well-known actor in
time, . said one of his acquaintances one
evening. "He was one of Adah Isaacs
Menken's husbands-I believe the first.
For awhile he ran theater in Kansas
City. For several years he PLAYED in ST.
Louis, in the old Deagle's varieties,
which stood On Sixth street, between
Locust and st. Charles. He is very
anxious now to get to the Forrest Home
in Philadelphia. He is really a worthy
object of charity, and deserves anything
that can be done for him. st. Louis

The deserted wife to whom the hus-
band, short time before, had disclosed
the secret of his success, determined to
disclose the affair and bring her faithless
spouse so the death-biock. Accordingly
the officers of justics were informed, and
it was freely circulated that Maxcslly
had robbed the miser Pedro. There, be-
meath the cellar floor, as described by
the wife, was found the skeleton of poor
Pedro, and as circumstances stood, with
no witness to the contrary, he was also
accused of the murder.
After a lengthy search, this man of
fortunes favor was found in the CITY of
Edinburgh, enjoying life-o of ease with
Saise. He was brought to st. Lo, ac-
companied by his wife, and there found
guilty of theft and murder. He loudly
protested against the conviction of mur-
der, acknowledging himself thief, to no
avail, for he was heheaded before his
wife and children. He kissed them each,
and then bent bis head to the block.
His pretty Saise fed from France, and
was never heard from again. The de-
serted wife condemned herself deeply for
the thoughtless revelation she had made.
All the property was claimed by the an
thorities, and the wife and children were
left without means to procure bread.

for the little ones, became insane. Dur.

Crime OF Farming.

After all, perhaps it is we'll that Frank
James is to be proved innocent. As long
as he was thought to be guilty, he was a
sort of hero in the eyes of the vicious
class. His supposed deeds of bravery,
his reckless daring, his expertness with
the pistol, his wild. hunted life on the
highway elected the warmest admira-
ton OF the rougher element of society.
Now that he is to be cleared, interest in
him and his exploits will wane. The
roughs will consider him no more than
themselves, and will transfer their affec-
tions to someone whom they know to be
a desperate. Mr.. James declares that
he viii not lecture when he becomes q
free man. It is we'll. Nobody would
desire to see him. While people might
go in droves to see a man who had been
a murderous highwayman for twenty
years, they would not evince the slight.

had been farming in Texas Atchinso

Westerfield's bill providing

killed by unanimous vote in
tho House yesterday, because
the bill gave the printing of the

For the past week the Nevada

obvious reasons. The Printing
Committee will offer substitute
tomorrow providing for the
printing Of the statutes at home.
