who had been preparing for few days
met at my mammals house will, cakes and
goodies and marched to the schoolt,ousc
and requested Mrs. Caldwell to give the
scholars and herself holiday. Mrs. Cald-
we'll was taken wholly by surprise, as she
was not aware any one knew it was her

NICHOLIA (IDAHO) LETTER.

TO the Editor Of the Dillon TRIBUNE:
The smelter at this place has been run.
ming for week, but not SO good as it is
hoped TO be before long; there seems to be
some trouble with the engine and other
fixtures which will gradually be toned
down.
The tramway (said to be the longest in
the world but one) is running, but has to
have considerable work done on it yet, for,
owing to the unevenness of the grade, i.
would not touch several Of the stations,
and these are now being built higher.
Nicholia is quite quiet at present. The
merchants and caterers are having a fair
trade. The saloons are full Of gamblers,
but no disturbances Of any note occur.
There are quite number If men here
who have not succeeded SO far in getting
work. 1t is very uncertain to depend on
the Company. One report is that lots Of
men will be employed at the mine this
winter. while from another quarter we
hear that those already there will be turned
off soon.
PROJECTORS are beginning to find mar.
ket for their ore.
There is little matter connected with
this place that think should be corrected.
\. Shot, foreman at the mine last sum-
mer was discharged on account Of do.
mestic difficulties and was generally de.
nounced us terrible husband, but now
that the other and true side Of the story
is revealed, those who know begin to think
that after all he should be pitied instead OF
getting the cold shoulder turned to him.

The Thousand Mile Ticket.

A Dubuque travelling man, writing to a
Chicago journal, advances various object
ions to the action of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St Paul railway company in
abolshing the thousand mile book hth-
crto issued to commercial travellers at two
cents per mile. There has been substi.,
tuted, therefore, he says, a complex sys>
tenn. 1t requires the travelling man TO
procure from headquarters a general or
der which authorizes all local agents to
sell him the special triple ticket at the
rate of three cents per mile. The ticket
agent retains one coupon from this ticket,
the conductor of the train gets one, and
the third is held by the purchaser to show
that he is entitled to rebate of one cent
per mile, which he can only secure at such
time as he shall have accumulated cou
pons representing $1,000 miles of travel.
He predicts that one third of the
money now paid for 1000 nile books
will 90 to the conductor for cash fares
Seven tcnths of the travelling men, he
thinks, will pay cash fares instead of
buying tickets, and the reasons he gives
is that there are thousands of men using
mileage books who travel on freight as
well as passenger trains Many OF them
carry light samples, end use every spare
moment for business. and only start for
the depot when the train whistles. How
much time have such men to trife with
thick fingered country ticket agent
Every old travelling man is familiar with
the work of Catching freight" and say
ing many hours by doing So When
| freight trains that carry passengers arrive
and depart from many country depots the
agent is in bed, at breakfast, dinner OF
supper, or he is over at the freight house
unloading a car. 1t is safe TO say that
eight times out of ten he is absent from
his office.
In many Iowa towns the railway runs
through the main or business street, and
the statesmen are frequently in store
with one eye on the customer and the
other on the local freight which i,
switching" at the time and liable to start
at aud moment. 1t requires every min
ute he can gain to complete the sale OF
five barrels of sugar or ten half chests Of
tea, and only closes case and rushes of
to the train when the bell has sounded
and the conductor has shouted al
aboardW With the mileage book he car
make the train and get out of the town
by the triplex system he loses it, and pos
sibly whole days time.

A couple of men were seen crossing
the river this afternoon from Davenport
to this side They were picking their
way very carefully and pursuing zig
gag course, and 1t took them fully an hour
to get over. 1t is dangerous business to
cross the river in the present condition of
the ice which has become honeycOmbcd
and is quite thin in places. No doubt
some foolhardy chap will keep trying to
cross the Mississippi on the ice until he
breaks through and crosses the river of
life, then other people will 60 around by
the bridge and give the ice rest.

The Toll Bridge .

A good many citizens think that the
city council should have granted the pes
tition presented to that body on Monday
night, asking for a uniform price of ten
cents for the round trip for teams cross
ing the Milan bridges. The petition was
certainly signed by number of the most
influential citizens in the city The pc
tition was referred to a committee, and it
remains to be seen what kind of report
the committee will make. There is not a
particle of doubt that the majority of the
people in the county would like TO see
the bridges free, but as there Is more or
less expense attached to keeping them
up, a little revenue comes handy, but it
could be reduced one half with profit to
the city. This profit will be felt in the
increase OF country patronage by our
business men, This question has been
agitated heretofore, but not with such
unanimity as at present

sired ends.

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 8.-The speakership
contest is still in decidedly muddled
condition, and it is hard to predict the
final outcome The action of Haines yes
terday shows that he intends to be as
troublesome as possible, but nevertheless
the democrats stood by Cronkrite at am
other caucus held last night. Halnes
would not enter the caucus and claims
that he will not vote for Cronkrite. The
republicans have held out various offers
to Haines, but he treats them as inditfer~
emily as he does the democrats. Kruger
has gone back into the republican camp,
as his various wishes have been yielded
to, and his friends have been promised
fat offices. The house may effect a tenn
porary organization today, but nothing
permanent can be done until Haines joins
one side or the other.
HAINEs TEMPORARY SPEAKER.
SPRINGFIELD, III, Jan. s. Special T.
The house was called to order by Secre>
tary Dement, at half past eleven o'clock.
The roll was called on the election of q
temporary speaker Haines did not vote.
Sittg voted for Haincs, which caused a
CONSERVATION among the republicans.
The result was that IIaines received n,
Messick, (rep.) "A, and Hiatt, /. Haines
was declared elected He said he could
not accept the position yesterday because
the vote for him was partisan, but as he
had got one vote from the other side, he
could occupy the place as. a
non partisan. He then declared
the election of clerk in
order and turning to the democratic side
recognized Linegar, who nominated Will
Banks for clerk, and the other democratic
caucus candidates. Mowers presented
the republican caucus nomination, includ-
ing Magee for clerk, as substitute.
Sittig voted with the republicans and
Haines with the democrats. The demos
cratic candidates were elected 1t was
noticed that the democrats presented
their caucus nominees for permanent Off
GERS as the temporary officers. Under
this arrangement the temporary officers
will count the vote that may make them
permanent.
1t is certain that Iaines will never get
out of the chair, but will compel the
democrats to keep him there. The Cron
krite people are very angry and some
agreement has been made by which cer>
! tain republicans will support him on con,
dition that he vote for Senator Logan.
