The Most Economical Stoves.

Those desiring a soft coal heating
stove should examine our "Den mark
and "Perfect" retort base he eaters.
They are elegant in design and per.
feet in operation. We guarantee that
no coal gas can form IN the stove;
hence tho great objection to burning
soft coal is done away with. They
are powerful heaters, and the judg-
ment OF J. A. Rupert and DR.. Mckay,
who have used them, is that they do
moro than is claimed for then, and are
the most economical OF fuel Of any
stove they have ever used. We have
the "Todd," "Gold Coin" and box.
wood. heaters, Universal" and "Per-
fect""Base Burner" "Canon" stoves,
etc., for coal, at prices which will GER
tainly please our patrons. Call and
examine our stock and we will save

THE TOURIST TRAVEL.

1t should, and Can Br, Diverted to
Wood River.
Over 800 tourists visited the Sho
shone Falls this summer. and this mum.
her is expected to be four times as
large next year. Now there is no
good reason why this crowd Of visitors
or \ part Of it, anyway-should not
be diverted this way.
With the opening of our new hotel,
next spring, and the probable i'm.
provement in the local mining out
look, it ought not to be difficult to in.
duce large number Of these pleasure
seekers to visit US. We have a. grand
mountain scenery, a. fine fishing
streams, as excellent mineral springs
rs can be found anywhere. 1t is
therefore evident that the only thing
lacking is to make these attractions
known properly, by means of PAM
phlets, and the thousand .and.one ways
known to successful advertisers the
world over. This cannot be done by
any single individual, but collectively,
by al interested.
Will the parties referred to take
this hint, and act upon it? 1t would
he very much to their advantage if
they did.

WHAT A FALL WAS THEREl
The Price Of Apples Tnmbles from 4
Bit 10 Five Cents Per Pound.

For week or so past, quite feel

dealers of Boise and HALEY. Hereto

suit, NJ to quality, size and price, that
everyone knows 1t had been i'm.
possible to secure choice apple at
almost any price, while for such as
could be got bit pound was the
ruling rate.
Some time ago live business man
of this city determined to supply the
demand for choice winter apples, and
took a trip to Oregon for the purpose
He found that he could get the very
choicest ha"d.pickcd winter eating
and cooking apples, and land and de
liver them here, and make money at
five cents per pound. He ordered ono
carload for = test. This carload
arrived yesterday, and was ALL SOLD
before it was unloaded, at Eve cents
per pound, spot cash.
All day to-day the enterprising
dealer has been compelled to refuse
orders, because he Gears that he has III.
ready sold more than he has on hand !!
The experiment has therefore
proved as remuncrative to the import
or as it has to the consumers; the for.
mer has made fair profit by just turn.

Grant and johnson.

We published last week letter from
Chauncy M. Depew, of New York, re-
ferring to the conditions which existed
Immediately after the war and the relations
of Gen. Grant with President johnson.
Numerous murky statements have been
given from various persons protesting in
innate knowledge of the views and inten-
lions of President Johnson, which conflict
in their conclusions with the recitals con-
tanned in the letter of Mr.. Depew. We
give below a statement from Ex-senator
]. B. Chaffee, Of Colorado, in support of
Mr.. DepeW. We do this because the whole
subject is a matter of historical interest
and should be preserved, in some form or
another. Mr.. Chaffee writes from Denz
yer, Colorado, as follows to the n. T..
Tribune;
During the last four weeks have been
writing some recollecti0nS OF General
Grant and what he said to me in regard
to public affairs at different times during
the last four years OF his life. Since the
written by Chauncey M. Depew is being
discussed in the press of the country, [
have concluded to send to you for publlca-
tion what have written upon that SUBJ
iect. I did not make any notes of it at
either of the times that General Grant
told the story to me, but it impressed me
wildly, and am certain am correct as to
the main points. have many times urged

Fatal Railroad Accident.

AS one of the effects of tie heavy rain
which fell on the Goth, the following &C.
count of an accident on the Richmond &
Allegheny Railroad, will be read with sor-
row by many Of our citizens, as the Mr..
Williams mentioned married Miss Chap
man, daughter of the late Alfred Chap
man, of this place. and a granddaughter Of
the late VIM. Kinney of Stanton, Mrs.
James Ker is sister of Mrs. Williams,
and she has several single sisters living
here
The engine Of No. % passenger train of
the Lexington branch of the Richmond
and Allegheny railroad, went down with
the bridge at South river late Tuesday
evening, taking with it the engineer and
fireman, and disappeared under the high
and raging waters of the stream. The en-
gineer was John Williams, of Lexington,
and the fireman Richard Tyre, of Lynch
burg. Williams stood high in the esteem Of
the officials, and was regarded as the most
careful engineer on the road. Tyre was
the main support OF widowed mother,
who lives on the upper basin, near the
Natural Bridge Station, on the Shenan-
doah Valley railroad. The high water
washed the track for some distance.
IsoberD Lueade, the track Waterman, see
ing the track was unsafe, tagged down a
material train and got on the engine.
The engineer ran the engine slowly, and
endeayored to get oyer the dangerous
place, but before he had gone far the track
gave way and carried the engine into the
river. Lucado was standing between the
engine and the tender when it was thrown
into the river. He was not injured, and
could have. escaped had his clothing not
been caught in some way. He was
drowned. VIM. Brown colored, the en-
CINE Waterman. was killed, and Engineer
Wolfkill seriously injured. The cars were
overturned, and fire broke out in several
places. It is repo rted that six of the
negro workmen who we're in the cars were
badly burned. and that several cars were
destroyed. The Shenandoah railroad is
badly damaged in several points. There
were no trains over the Midland road to-
day. Three spans of the bridge at I've
river were washed out. The only train
soJth of Tye river is No. So, which ar.
rived from Danvile Thursday night, and
was kept here today. The superintendent
did not reach the bridge until this after
noon. 1t is not thought that a transfer
can be made until tomorrow morning.
