THE CosT OF THE CHANGE OF GAUGE.
1t has at last been figured out that
the net cost of the change of gauge
on the 12,61S miles of lines is ST.
350,126, While this is large sum
of money; it is small in comparison
with the benefits which will result
from the expenditure. This amount
would build and equip only fifty-four
miles OF new road, at an average cost
OF $25,O0O per mile, and yet many
times this sum has been sQuandored
IN building parallel roads which the
country did not need, and whose con.
struction resulted in permanent loss
OF existing roads. The establishment
OF a practical uniform gauge through.
out the country will be worth MANY
millions, particularly to the South
and Will be paid for in n comparatiyolJ

no candidate may make himself La

havo decided to give you a few dots.
There are some good farms in this
corner, which havo been in the back
woods, but since we have the new
road from Easley to Dacusvillc, also
the ono from Mr.. Joseph Loopcr's, to
Cross Plains, we have II splendid out
let. Crops are looking very well, con-
sidcring the wet weather, which still
continues. The land has been too
wet to plow, most Of the time, for two
weeks.
Some of us take the blues some
times, but let me say right here, it
wont do to give up. Lets commence
right now to save al the manure we
can for M early wheat crop, plant less
cotton, moro corn and peas, soryltm
cane and potatoes. Plant less NUM-
Der OF acres, use more home manure,
and cultivate better.
The late sowcd wheat in this sec

RATHER A SLICK BURGLARY.
Some Bold, Bad Man Abstracts
$372.5O From E. II. Clute,s
Office.

One of the most adept burglaries com.
mitted hereabouts was performed on E.
r. Clute's coal Office, on Main street, last
night, and resulted in loss of 1872. so to
Mr.. Clute. Mr.. Laron Cummings had
just finished balancing cash, and had
put the money and checks in a canvas
bag. with the intention of placing the bag
in Remington, Johnson & Co.'s safe.
Before starting out with it, however, he
remembered having occasion to step into
the barber shop next door, and accord
ingly left the valuable parcel on the
desk. He had been in the shop but a
moment or two when it occurred to him
that he had been somewhat careless in
leaving the money so exposed, and he
Immediately fastened back to his office.
1t took him but a minute to discover that
the bag with its contents was gone, and
and he rushed around almost bewildered,
in search of it, but all to no purpose, for
it had been effectually removed.
Mr.. Cummings feels certain that the
thief must have been watching him while
ne put the money away, and that on his
leaving the Office had popped in and out
again with all possible haste. A great
1eal OF the money was in checks, and Mr.
Cute has notified the banks not to paw
my of them if presented, and by this
means it is hoped the guilty party may
De traced up and caught.
MIR. Clute was seen at a late hour to-
lay and stated to a reporter that he had
lot yet succeeded in obtaining even a clue |
% the thief or the whereabouts of the
Missing money.

dog. This morning the Dunyons were on
their way to Salt Lake with several
friends ip their wagon when young Nc

double barrel shot gun at the party and
aemasndedthat the Dunyon dog which was
IN the wagon should be delivered up.

adoption may, with the Government set.
ting the example, obtain considerable
momentum. On previous occasions when
this subject has been presented to em.
ployers 1t has been resisted with more or
less earnestness, but it is certain that
now IN great many lines of industry No
great opposition would be made to #
Where the piece system does not nre.
vail at it would come into force immedi.
ately after the change in the hours of
work, and thus, while efficient men
might make as much in eight hours as
they do now under the day-work plan
large number of employees would find
their earnings materially curtailed. In
such Industries as do not permit of piece
work, wages would inevitably adiust
themselves to the eight hour plan # II

lose nothing by it and the workingman
would gain nothing.

The piece system has obyiated many of

event of any general demand for the i
eight hour policy it would probably come |
INTO more common USE. The attifude of !

uch that no very serious troubles likely

THE PEOPLES REFORM TIcKE1
Another Richard in the Field fol
Municipal HOnOrs.

The Peoples Reform Ticket, which has
been in course of preparation for several
DAYS, has at last been completed and is
given below. AS will be seen, it con-
tains number of material alterations
/ from the straight-laced ticket which IS
graced with the name of Alfred Solomon.
The Dry Benchers have two representa-
tions-one Councillor and one Alderman
and if the statements made by many
citizens be true, they will be supported
by an almost solid vote of the residents
OF the north bench as we'll as by the nu-
merous sympathizers residing in those
wards. The ticket contains one or two
names which could be left off without in
jury to anything but the feelings OF the
parties themselves, but Is, taken alto
gether, much better ticket than the
other one in the field. The retaining of
Alderman Speirs and the dropping OF
Alfred Solomon are two of the most de-
sirable changes made and the sub
stitution Of the names of John
A. Groesbeck. William Fuller, Henry
Heath and some others is good move,
and one that ought to count at the polls.
1t is understood that the ticket has re-
suited from well-organized action on the
part OF the reformers, and has been care
fully made up after a thorough canvass
among the classes who are expected to
support the nominees at the polls.
As an evidence OF how indefatigably
the movement has been pushed, it need !
only be mentioned that several cool
headed members OF the Peoples Party |
the firm opinion to-day that |
this new ticket would be elected by good |
majority.
1t appears that there has been great |
deal Of quiet but effective work put in
where the most good could be accom-
plished, and there is little doubt but |
Monday will witness closer and more
election than Utah has ever
seen before. Here is the ticket

DEMENT, AND THE REPORTERS.
The Surveyor.General Telegraphs
That He Still Has Truth and
Honor ON His Side.

Since the wires have brought from
Washington the account of the state
ments made before the Senate committee
by several newspaper reporters, the sem
sation created by General Dement'S first
reported interview has been famed into
genuine flame of excitement. Knots
of men were grouped ON the corners and
all along the business streets discussing
the subject, and it was exceedingly rare
that word of favorable. comment was
heard for the Surveyor General. The
excitement became so manifest last night
among number of Federal officials and
other prominent gentlemen here, that the
Tribune telegraphed General Dement, to
know whether he would make
statement in reply to the dispatch
concerning the reporters interview with
the Senate committee. The following
answer was received, which would seem
to further complicate the vexed question
WASHINGTON, February ITO the Tribune:
In response to your kind request for state
ment, desire at present only to reiterate
my statement before the Senate Committee.
I am confident that I shall soon be able to
show that this is but an infamous plot or
ganized for the sole purpose of defeating my
confirmation to the Senate It is an UNEQUAL |
fight, but l have truth and honor on my side, |
and these are sure friends, though they may |
be a little slow sometimes. Tell my friends |
to be patient and to trust me just little !
longer. r. S. DEMENT,.
Quite number of officials and others
have been asked, since the above dis
patch was made public, as to their opin-
ons on the subject, and the majority have
said: 81 think Dement, has got his foot
N it, or, Clement is in devilish bad
oox;;" and these were among the most
of the expressions, too.

Dement'S Detective Work.

Surveyor-General Dement,, of Utah, is
now dining sumptuously on dirt pie. He
first gave the correspondents a detailed
and startling account of huge land frauds
in which Senators, Representatives and
many other high officials were alleged to
be implicated, and for day posed as a
mighty detective and wondrous worker
in the cause of reform. Then he was
called before the Senate Committee on
Public Lands to make good his charges,
but instead he ingloriously backed down
and declared that he had given utterance
to no interview on the land question. and
that the correspondents had lied. Now
the correspondents are prepared to prove
that Dement, not only furnished the pub
llshed statements, but also supplied the
paper on which they were written. De-
ment is certainly up to his eyes in trouble.
His ears, of course, can't be over-topped.
