The Citizens Band and number Of
our non-musical people went down to
Arapahoe, Friday afternoon, to hear
Senator Henderson, who addressed an
enthusiastic Republican mass meeting
at that place on Friday evening. All
are unanimous in the verdict that our
Junior senator made a superlative speech
and were disappointed at not being able
to remain and hear him out-being
compelled to return on No. l. The
Senator made number of happy hits,
among them being his summary of this
country, when he made his first journey
through it, quite a number Of years ago.
He illustrated his first impressions" by
repeating the story of Wade, who, liv-
ing in the far west, in the mining coun-
try, became greatly Disguised with
things in general. An old miner re-
monstrated with him, and proceeded to
depict in roseate colors the advantages
of the country, remarking that all the
country needed to make it a veritabie
paradise was plenty of water and good
society. Wade replied that those same
physical conditions would make hades
an acceptable summer resort. But the
senator's "frst Impressions have been
greatly modified by this visit to the Re
publican Valley, where evidences Of fine
crops and general prosperity are to be
seen on every hand, upon which he grew
oratorical and COMPLIMENTARY.

Opinion among car-builders seems
to be setting in favor of large wheels for
trains, especially fast trains. The AZ
inch wheels, which have been used for
some time on several Northern roads,
have given entire satisfaction. Perhaps
few of our readers realize the difference
gained by adding ten inches to the cir
cumference of wheel; yet it gives a
gain of ten miles an hour. The speed
which carries 33-inch train 80 miles an
hour will carry 42-inch train at least
SO miles an hour; and without seeming
to 90 so fast, for the small wheel need:
to turn very much faster than the large
one to cover an equal space thereby
heating the journals, making more
noise, etc.
On the other hand, the larger the
wheel. the higher the axle, and the
greater the unsteadness. But this
needs only good workmanship and we'll

although the law has been successfully

same upon the preaching and practice of
pOlygamy has not been to improve the
tone of the former or materially diminish
the latter For II year or more after the
effort to enforce the law was initiated
pOlygamic teachings from the pulpit were
rarely heard and there were indicatinsO
that the practice of polygamy might he
expected to 1T least mcasuredly decline
But during the present year there appears
to have been Il pOlygamiC revival. The

\ CELEBRATED CASE.
The American Bell Telephone Company
Wins Its suit.

mthe United States Circuit Court at Phil

rendered in favor of the American Bell
Telephone Company in its famous suit
against the Drawbaugh Telephone Com

action of the Drawbaugh Company in en-
deaVoring, it is alleged, to use the general
telephone system patented by Prof. \.
Graham Bell, and now used by the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone Company. The Draw
baugh company will probably appeal from
this decision and the case will be carried
before the United States supreme Court.
