Renshaw Opera House.

Last night the "Belles Of the Kitch-
en-" was given for tho first time in
Butte. It is almost needless to say
that the play scored q success from
the start. Certainly a more pleasing
and varied web of mirth, nonsense,
ludicrous sayings and situations has
never before been given US. IF ap-
plause is any criterion of success,
the house will be packed this even
ing. Messrs. Herne and Roscoe did
some Of the neatest specially business
we have seen in a long time. These
gentlemen stand at the head of their
profession. Rutledge took the house
by storm; his representations were q
revelation, and evoked round after
round of applause. His transitions
from character to character in differ
ent costumes were certainly a mar
vel. The same bill will be repeated
at the matinee and tonight. We
advise all who enjoy a hearty laugh
at harmless mirth to attend.

Railroad War at Ogden.

Some excitement in railroad circles
transpired in Ogden on Sunday night
and Monday morning. It appears
that.the Denver & Rio Grande has
arranged for a third rail on the Cen
trail Pacific track on the east side of
the depot, which rail has been put in
place, but on Sunday night a narrow
guage track was strung along on the
west side of the depot, between two
Central Pacific tracks. This was done
between 9 o'clock and early morning.
During the progress of the work
the Union Pscific had some cars run
in and dumped on the ground, but
these were soon cleared out. After
the track had beenlput down, a Un-
ION Pacific locomotive was fastened
to it by chains and the rails and ties
drawn along some distance, then sep
arated and piled up to one side. Since
this all has remained quiet, and at
this writing it is difficult to tell what
the outcome will be.-Salt Lake
Tribune, 18th.

President Willard has said that

The Canadian Pacific Railroad
Company claim to have advanced
their track at the rate of three and
one-half miles a day for sixty consec-
utive days, Sundays not counted.
On Monday last the track layers at
Shoshone, Idaho, resumed their work
westward on the main line of the
Oregon Short Line Railway, and
they expect to reach and cross the
Oregon lire and unite there with the
Oregon Navigation 4 Railway Co.'S
track west of Snake river next fall.
The Union Pacific passenger traffic
to idaho and Montana will probably
be diverted to the Oregon Short line
within the next twenty days. On
the entire road from Granger wsst,
things have been put in shape for
through trains. and most of the en-
gines and coaches r ready for use.
There is no longer any doubt
about the Union Pacific building
through from Salt Lake to San
Francisco. The Utah Central and
Salt lake 4 Western are links in
this great enterprise, and if the COM
pany build as energetically as they
did the Oregon Short Line
the metropolis of the Rockies will be
connected with the Golden Gate
within two years.-SaH Lake Tribune

Painful Approximations.

A party consisting of James Nc
Cloud, M. Mcmillan and w. r. Mox-
ley, started from this city on April
18th, bound for the new gold fields OF
Alaska. Since their departure moth
ing has been heard from them. Their
friends and relatives are extremely
anxious for their safety, and are ap-
prehensive that they took.passage at
Portland On the Inflated steamer
Grappler, which was burned off Sey-
mour Narrows, and are among the
lost in that catastrophe. This is mere
conjecture, however, and it is to be
hoped that some change of plan or
route may account for their silence,
and that the boys may yet turn up
all right.
