WHAT THEY SAY.

The Hlawatha messenger OF sept.
%, says under dramatic Notes.
"The Tennessee Scout drew four very
large and appreciative audiences at
the q. A. R. Armory last week not
withstanding the fact that Waits
Union Square Theatre Company were
offering good attractions i'm the Opera
House every evening. The largest
audience ever assembled in this city to
witness any play gathered at the Ar
mory on Thursday evening and had it
not been for the cold, disagreeable rain
on Friday night the large Armory
would doubtless have been filled to its
utmost capacity.
1.-THE labor devolving upon Capt.
DObbs in bringing out the thrilling
drama SO creditably in the short time
allowed for rehearsals with fifty anna
tours on the stage, is inconceivable to
those who were not behind the scenes,
and is a triumph that he may well be
proud of, and fully sustains the opin-
ion that We expressed of his manage
ment Of the "Spy of Atlanta" in June
and July last-that he has no superiors
and few equals as stage manager.
The management of the whole play
not only devOlved on him, but he very
successfully and creditably acted two
very heavy and difficult parts, viz:
Capt. Thompson, of the Confederate
army, and Capt. Brady an officer
killed in Libby prison, and in the lat
ter demonstrated his ability to act the
tender, emotional character as sue
as has long been conceded in
regard to his ability to act villain.
1.-The people of Hiawatha will al
ways be glad to hear of his success;
and should he again visit this city at
any time to givean entertainment will
be greeted with full huuses. He left
last Monday for Falls City, Nebraska,
where he presents the Spy of Atlanta
Oct. 4th. 5th and 9th, and quite num-
Der of our people intend going up to see
the play"
The Kansas Democrat says: GAS

in plot and pleasing situations. In its
portrayal of scenes incident to the late
war, it is true to life, and will be popu-
lar wherever presented. While the
sad phases of the events of those try

through it that the Spy of Atlanta

SOME INTERESTING tables relat-
ing to suicide are published IN an
insurance paper. From these it
appears that during June, July and
August of this year, AIS persons
committed suicide in the United
States, against 514 in the same
period last year. Of the suicides in
1888 $50 were males and
121 females. The most fire.
quent cause was insanity, after
which in order came sickness, FAM
lily troubles, dissipation, love and
business troubles. The number of
husbands who took their own lives
was 1919, of bachelors 12S, of wives
81, of maids 81, of w.dowers 81, and
of widows Is. The faYorite method
used was shooting, 147 deaths having
been thus caused, while there were
10 cases of poisoning, 104 of hang
ing, So of drowning, and 80 of cut
ting the throat. Of the whole num-
Der $40 were Americans and Ger
mans, the former leading by 46. The
ages vary from 6 to "a years, the
greater number having occurred at
the age of so.

THERE CONES an intimatieA that
an eastern road is about to an
nounce a forty-cent freight rate
from Chicago to this city, or a re-
duction of more than one>half the
present low rate. Should this fur
thor cnt occur, those merchants
who have been crazy to fill their
stores and warehouses before the 50
cent rate from the Missouri river
was discontinued, will feel that
their "previousness" has gotten
them into more trouble than they
were likely to experience from
overstocking, which latter promises
to be bad enough. 1t is quite prob
able that the freight rate will 60
lower before it does higher, and it
is said to ne not at all presumable
that rates will ever again reach their
former height.

BELL, THE new supervising arch
itect of the Treasury, finds the de,
partment in sorry condition, and
as a beginning in the purifying
programme that he has set before
himself, he will make a wholesale
discharge of clerks. Under his pre-
decessor, Hill. all ssrts of corruption
has been carried on, the bureau be-
ing a den for thieves and rogues
who have plundered government of,
thousands. A Washington cores
pondent says the modelling room is
believed to be one of the most cor
rupt branches Of the establishment.
A Frenchman is in charge and he
has surrounded himself with a
corps of his countrymen. English
Is never spoken about the place.
The men, all of whom
draw full salaries, spend their
time experimenting with all
ships, underground telegraph and
other private inventions, daily
thanking heaven that they are not
citizens of vulgar, unstable gov
eminent like this. Bell has been in
charge only few days, but has al.
ready discovered that Hills wrong
doings were much greater than were
even charged before the committee
that investigated him last summer

THE HERALD AND RAILROADS

Somebody who expresses interest
In THE HERALD, but who forgets OF
neglects to attach his name to the
question, asks why The HERALD is
not a better friend to the railways,
and intimates that we have been
too severe, and. in his opinion, IN
just at times in criticlsing the con-
duct of the roads. Anonymous
communications, as a rule,
are thrown aside without
consideration, for the reason that
people who have anything to say
that should be said, are not afraid
to let it be known who they are.
However, in this instance. we will
disregard the rule, merely for the
purpose of gratifying our evidently
interested questioner. AM, first,
we will ask him, in the nature of
Yankee reply to his query, to point
to one instance where The HERALD
did not show itself the friend to
railroads. From the first. its history
is that of advocating railways, of
encouraging roads, of urging their
construction and support. No paper
in the great interior west has done
more for railways than THE
HERALD, and it proposes that none
shall, for it realizes that railroads
are the great civilizers and develop
ers OF the country. Without them
Utah would be in sorry condition
to-day. They have been the agents
through which the Territory has
grown rich and prosperous, and are
doing more for her industrially,
if not socially, than anything else
within our Dor ders. THE HERALD
wishes there was railway across
every county and to every town and
village in Utah; and if its encour>
aging efforts can bring it about, the
near future will find the railroad
mileage in Utah twice or thrice
what it is now.
The HERALD, on occasions, has
found it necessary in guard
ing the rights of the people, to criti-
else the unjust conduct of railroad
managers, and protest against un-
fair and outrageous Determinations
against individuals, local Industries
and communities. If The HER LID
has spoken in plainness at these
times it 10 glad Of it, for that was
what it tried to do and what it in
tends in future whenever occasion
demands. We do this because the
paper is the friend to Utah and the
people, as well as the advocate and
supporter of the railroads. We be-
lieve railway, managers make mis-
takes, and that they are frequently
unjust, and unwisely so from the
railroad point of observation; and
thus believing, The HERALD. not
withstanding its keen appreciation
of the Importance of the roads, can
speak freely and plainly, without
assuming the position of an enemy
to railroads.

Reliable news reached Tombstone
Saturday that Mexican courier had
arrived from the direction Of the head
quarters Of The Mexican army at Ono

Ind an engagement with large body
nj Indians near Guacanopc, in the
Sierra Madr,s, last week. Crook Lus
sent forward a portion OF tho San Car

body. a general advance was then
made by :he entire force, driving the
hostiles from their intrenched position
aud killing thirty, when tho remainder
broke and fed. Crook immediately
took the trail and started in pursuit.
1t is imposed tia: Crook is pressing
