Rum orcd Railroad War That
May Benefit Somebody.

1t rumored that the Denver &
Rio Grande Railway Company
and the U. p. folks are engaged
in a war at Ogden. 1t is said
that the Denver & Rio Grande
Company laid their track into
Ogden sometime during Tuesday
night, and that the u. p. people
tore up the rails the following
morning. The wires were cut,
and serious trouble anticipated.
The L. P.'s hostility is supposed
to be due to the fact that when
the Denver d Rio Grande
make a connection with the G..
p. it will make that company
strong competitor for the eastern
passenger and freight traffic,
and will force the q. p. people
to make rate with the G. F.,
which will be of incaiculable
benefit to the Pacific Coast and
particularly to Nevada.-Gazette.

SUNDAY Closing,

The merchants of this city
have decided to close their
stores on Sunday. This is done
to give the clerks a needed rest
and from the fact that the Sun
day custom is not worth while
opening at all. Aside from this
it shows the necessary respect
for the day of rest which is
needed in this section.

A Word of Warning

Yesterday Miss Ida Marshall
died in this city OF a most ma
lignant type of scarlet fever.
She was young lady highly re-
spacted and much beloved ia
in this community, having re
sided here almost from child
hood. Under the circumstances
nothing is more natural than
that large concourse of friends
should pay their last tribute of
respect by attending the funeral.
Yesterday the writer conversed
with several physicians of this
city upon the degree Of con-
tagien produced by scarlet fever.
They Said that the deceased died
frsm the most malignant type
of the disease known and that
they considered it worse than
smallpox. \ large public
funeral would almost certainly
result in more deaths and would
be 4 risk to all who attended.
Therefore none can afford to
place themselves within reach of
the contagion which might re
suit-in fact would almost sure
ly result-in carrying death and
desoiatinu TO other households.
This is a delicate matter to ad-
wise people upon, and the AP-
PEAL hopes than the friends of
the deceased will accept it in
the light Of Il warning rendered |
under the circum-
stances.

An Unfortunate nan.

The Phoebe Record says the
man who so strangely and sud
denly died while going down
on the cage a: the Horn Silver
mine at Frisco, was johnson,
the man who eloped with Mrs.
Sharp, and who was 80 unmer-
cifuliy beaten at Benefits
Spring by the Sharp girls and
two men. Mrs. Sharp says that
Johnson had his skull cracked
by a club in the hands of one Of
the men, and that after they left
Benefits Spring they proceeded
to Salt Lake, where johnson
was placed in charge of Il ply
stefan. johnson got much bet
ter but he was never completely
cured, his mind being somewhat
affected at dimes, and he had Il
running sore on the head. Mrs.
Sharp after arriving in Utah,
married Johnson, yet she had
never been divorced from Sharp.

of Managers seem to think that
Nevada is a great cotton country.
While it has produced a good
deal OF Gotten in times past, the
lack of rain along the eastern
slope of the Sierras this spring
has retarded the crop to such an
extent that Nevada will not have
enough cotton of the first

REHEARsINo WEDDINGS.

But almost equaling the engagement
romances is the practice that has sprung
up of rehearsing weddings. Every
bishop and prominent clergyman in
Philadelphia who participates in fash
ionable wedding has in every instance
to attend a full-dress rehearsal, and
sometimes two, as part OF the per-
Torrance. The church is lighted, the
organist is in place, the ushers take their
positions, the whole bridal party forms
in the vestibule, the signal is given, they
march up the aisle and At the alter the
whole ceremony is gone through with
except answering the questions. The
bride and bridegroom are instructed not
to say "Yes" at the wrong time, told
when to kneel down, when TO get up,
and go through the difficult and gener-
ally trying operation Of putting on the
ring. Sometimes the bride and bride
groom go up the aisle dozen different
times, with steps and degrees of rapidi-
~, before they hit upon what their cir
Gle OF relatives and near friends think
the correct thing. The bride often tries
half dozen positions and many more
expressions. In one position she leans
little forward in another she walks
erect. Whether she carries her head on
the right or the left side is considered
important. The way the veil looks

other in the presence of the congrega-

BE NEIoHBoRLY.

A few neighborly, kind-hear,ed citi-
zens will transform gloomy villageinto
an earthly paradise. Selfishness is apt
to color even our thoughts, and he who
begrudges kind words and pleasant
smiles is a miser. The happiness and
comfort of each individual member OF
society is SO thoroughly dependent on
the bearing and disposition ofhis neigh
bor that it becomes at once the duty,
as it is the pleasure, Of each person, to
strive to contribute his quota ofgenerous
feelings and considcrate actions TO the
common fund of human happiness.
To be pleasant, neighborly, good
natured is not necessarily connected
with an outlay Of money; sympathetic
look and an encouraging word will often
accomplish a far higher mission than
dollar bill could hope to reach. A
hearty shaking of the hand and frank
good morning, sir, akind feeling that the
clink of silver would quickly dissipate.
One who is suffering from or writhing
under misfortune receives vastly more
comfort from a neighbor's kind Offices
and general sympaihies than any pecu-
MARY gift could bestow. Society is held
together by the mutual forbearance Of
its members. Did each one assert his
rights by physical force instead Of mu
iual forbearance and consideration for
the rights OF Others, cities towns and
neighborhoods would be impossibilities,
since peace could only be procured by
widely separating the contending fac
tions.
Aside from the satisfying and elevating
influence of neighborly acts Of kindness
and social enjoyment aside from the
quiet, peaceful atmosphere Of an unself-
ish, self-sacrifcing community, such
qualities have 4 mercenary value
Value of real estate, desirability ofcertain
localities for residence, depend largely
upon the reputation OF the community
for generous and commendable neigh
borly qualities, and even public spirit,
as asserted in good schools and churches,
has its origin in an enlarged neighborly
feeling and desire to see all about the
happy comforts and inestimable bless
ings OF happy, pleasant homes.
