The railroad bridge at the fourth

The railroad bridge at the fourth
crossing is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. The false work is mp. and one
span Of the iron is ready for use- The
other span will soon be in and then we
may look for great changes in the time
OF trains on the Short Lima. Just what
the effect will be upon the Haley branch
is hard to say. The probabilities are,
however, that it will be night run,
leaving Ketchum In the evening and re-
turning at an early hour in the morning.
Lycurgus w. Jackson, formerly well

sonal property, were taken. The other
man escaped and gave the alarm. A

erly of Mountain city, found the body
and brought it to Tombstone.

climbing into the zenith In the West.
During the present week the legisia-
lure OF Massachusetts, by the over
whelming vote of nearly three to one
has decided against allowing women
the privilege of voting. The wise men
in the Iowa Senate, on the other
hand, have adopted a woman suf-
frase amendment to the State Consti-
tuition which, if it passes the House,
will be submitted to the people next
November. The old Bay State thus
Loses her proud position As the adj

fact is, the old Commonwealth is he
coming conservative in her sere and
yellow leaf. With Plymouth Rock
against the ballot for women her
cause is hopeless.

The Tastes of Different Nations
Fleshy Dellcacies of the Table.

Five thousand cats are said to have
been eaten in Paris during the last
siege. According to the same author
ity the cat is downright good eating.
A young one, we'll cooked, is better
than hare or rabbit. 1t tastes some-
thing like the American graysouirrel
but Is even teDderer aud sweeter.
One thousand two hundred dogs. it
Is stated, were eaten in Paris during
the late siege, and the flesh fetched
from 2 to 8 francs per pound. Ac-
corning to Pliny, puppies were e
garded as a great delicacy by the
Roman gourmands.
The bear supplies food to several
nations of Europe. and its hams are
considered excellent. The 6e.h Of
the brown or black bear, which ia
eaten by the common peonIe Of Nnrs
way, Russia, and Poland, is difficult
OF digestion, and is Usually sailed ard
dried before it is used. Two bears
were eaten in Paris during the siege,
and the flesh was supposed to taste
like pig. the Indian tribes of the
Interior of Oregon eat bears. The
hedgehog is considered a prjncelv
dish IN Barbary, and is also eaten in
spain n Germany. 1t is frequently

GOVERNOR BUM.

The newly appointed Governor @
Idaho, William NJ. Bum, receives
handsome send off from the Phlla
delphia papers, of which city he is
resident. His father was a cottor
spinner, we are told, and in hi
early years William worked in thu
factory. He was born January LIST
1872, and at the early age Of seven
teen entered into politics. From
ward offices he rose to the position o.
register of wills, and then he was
elected guardian Of the poor. Dur
ing the war be enlisted in a Pennsyl'
vania regiment, and was wounded
and captured at Savage Station, Wiz
ginia. Seven years ago he adopted
Journalism as a profession, and dur
ing this time has been editor of the
| Nlndou q. unscrpt. The Phila-
ue phia Dispatch says of the new
appointee:
"While ~disposing of the Phila-
delphia Offices, the President adds to
the satisfaction of this city by select
ing a philadelphia for another con-
spicuous Federal position. The
appointment of William N. Bum al
Governor of Idaho will CRAFTY hosts
Of friends, secure a very capable
representative of the Government,
and open a bright career for a re-
markedly bright young man.
"Colonel Bum has hada great deal
of experience in politics and public
affairs, and he has come out of it all
with q level head, a sound heart,
and worthy aspirations. He had
the strength to grow and the sense to
understand. Underneath the inf.
mite JEST and the 'most excellent
fancy" which are familiar to Phila-
delphia. there is an earnestness of
purpose aud a breadth of grasp which
give the brightest promise. The
new Governor is not merely gifted
with brilliant wit and unfailing |
humor, but possesses quick aptitude, |
great versatility and unbounded re-
sources. Best Of all, he has man
fully sought this place with a full
sense Of its responsibilities and with
IN honorable ambition to make q
name for himself, and he has
Doth the capacity and disposition to
meet the best expectations Of his
'rieDds.

MORE THUNDER THREAT
ENEO.

The Gentle organ of Salt Lake
the Tribune, goes into ecstacies ovel
a private dispatch received in that
city announcing that the House
Committee on Territories has de-
cided to report favorably on Mr.. Cas-.
sidy's bill to create d Legislative
commission for Utah. 1.-THE ball has
opened" says our exuberant cotem>
porary, land the thunders will
presently begin" The trouble with
our neighbors in Utah, is there is too
much noise and too little Zeal work.
The Edmunds law was hailed as a
specific to solve the Mormon prob
lem' 1t outlawed polygamists, de-
priving them of the right to vote at
elections, to hold public office, and
to sit on juries where polygamy cases
are on trial. 1t also created an ex-
ecutlve commission to take charge
Of elections and see fair play. With
such a law there was nothing to hin>
der the prosecution and punishment
OF the plural wived gentry, and the
ultimate extinguishment of the sur
viving twin-relic. But the fact is
apparent, that, Notwithstanding the
%unceasing clamor against this Utah
abomination, the Gentiles are
not in earnest in their desire to
lay this foul presence to rest. Should !
the courts enter upon q vigorous cru
SADIE against polygamy under the pro-
visions of this stringent law, a terri
BILE howl would 60 up from the poor,
prosecuted Saints, and alarming
threats of resistance would be made
0y the truculent priests. This would
paralyzing to business, and tourists
would give a wide berth to Zion for
fear of having their Threats cut. The
bankers and mine-owners
in that Territory understand this fact
IN advance, and therefore the law OF
Congress designed to deal effectively
with polygamy is not enforced. Now
hey are looking for the creation of a
mother commission vested with
to make laws for Utah but
What good Is to come of this sur
