"A VERY REMARKABLE SERMON" is what
the New York SIM calls the discourse de
livered In New York on the 18th inst. by tha
Rev. DR.. Dix. Among other things quite
as pointed the reverend doctor said
appeal, o woman to your pity for mans
weakness If you have no shame left to appeal
to, that you will try to remedy the present i'm
modest manner of female appareling. Shame
must have died in you that you can dress So
Think Of the men to whom the very sight of
you so arrayed gives rise to lustfil passions.
GAS to the conventional evening dress
for women,n says the Sun, 'it is not i'm.
modest unless carried to an extreme, which
always provokes unfavorable criticism, even
where II does not excite positive aversion.
1t is costume, too, to which society has
accustomed itself from time immemorial,
and we fear that the denunciatlon OF DR..
Dix will not produce any very preceptible
reform" The Herald says:
DR.. Dix made no new discovery, and his ser.
mon was, indeed, no more remarkable
than the truth ever is when It is presented
with conviction and earnestness. He pro-
claimed the sentiments of countless number
OF pnre. good women, who bitterly censurc the
fast growing popular fashion of semi.nudity.
Society has not accustomed itself to the in.
decency oi the evening costume 1t only toll
crates its weNrers, while blushing with shame
at their shamelCssncss.
This is plain talk from both pulpit and
press. Possibly it may have some per-
tinency outside Of New York.

than that of any other region round
about
being asked if the Chicago &
Northwestern road, which is built
over halfway across Wyoming, was
really headed this way, Mr.. Young
said he really knew nothing about it;
but Mr.. Sherman was more communi-
catlve, and said that there was no
doubt but that the road was seeking
an outlet to the Pacific Coast, and
that its course was through Idaho.
But just exactly what line it would
seek to reach the Ocean no one could
tell, as this was still undecided. An
other year would tell, however
Regarding the prospects of mar,

need not worry. Such road was
bound to be built, and by this time
next year, if not sooner, it would be
under way. If John Gilman did moi
build it, some one else would.

THE CHIMNEY EXCURSION.v
A Man Who Knows More About II
than Patsey Does.

"Say, you goin' to Portland on Kin
ney's tramp" asked know-it- all
young man, yesterday afternoon, of u
ZINES reporter. The reporter had
heard talk Of "free excursion" which
1t was said the Democratic nominee
for Sheriff would run in case of his
election; and was glad to meet some
one who could give him a few point
ers; so he reversed matters and became
the questioner, instead of the oues
toned, as that was more to his STYLE.
In answer to questions the well-in-
formed young man said: "Why, GER
talnly, kinney is going to run a free
excursion to Portland, as a reward to
the people of Al,uras for electing him.
1t will consis. of four first. class
coaches and two sleepers, and the ex-
cursionists will have more than a
day in Portland, for the train will
leave next Wednesday, getting into
Portland on Saturday morning, so
everybody can take in the town on
the busiest day of the week, visit the
theaters at night, or see the elephant,
and have nearly all Sunday to stroll
around, see the fine residences and
gardens, visit the city park, 90 sailing
or rowing on the Willamette, or div
ing to the White House, or the Ore
gon City falls, or the military head
quarters of the Department of the
Columbia at Vancouver, or the-'
The TINES man, fearing he had
struck a monograph that would never
let up, unceremoniously cut off the
string of verbosity with hearty thanks
for such generous stock of informa.
ton, and started for Fatsey Kinney
whom he saw up the street.
"No, know nothing about the ex
cursion," said Mr.. Kinney. "This is
the first l have heard of it. ] am moi
going to run an excursion to Portland
or anywhere else. 1t might have
done before election to carry away
lot Of Republicans and leave then
there-but it's no politics to give al
excursion after election"
So it seems that Mr.. Kinney vii
take no stock in any excursion-un
less it be up Salt River if the returns
from outside precincts keep cutting
down his majority.

Milton E. Pinney, of this city, has
secured the contract, for one year, of
keeping the new mill Of the Bannock
Mining Company, at Era, supplied
with ore from the company's mines.
In fulfillment Of this contract, Mr..
Pinney has purchased teams and
wagons sufficient to haul 80 tons per
day from the mine to the mill.-a dis
lance of a mile and half-and has
already delivered over 1000 tons.
The mill has a crushing capacity of
only about 20 tons, but its bins will
hold 1900 tons, and Mr.. P:nney pro-
poses to keep these full, SO that if
there should be a spell of bad roads
and unfavorable weather, he can give
his men and teams a rest.
While admitting that he has no
positive knowledge on the subject,
Mr.. Pnney is quite sure that the ore
mills from $50 to *75 per ton. The
mill having a capacity of 20 tons, thi:
would give yield of $1,000 to s150C
per day-which the managers of the
Bannock Company expect TO keep VI
indefinitely. @f.- rr =

THE FAMILY SAFEGUARD.
An Illuminant that Is Better than an
Insurance Policy.

Now that the Elaine oil is again
offered for sale in Haley, the ZINES
deems it but right and proper to state
some Of its points of excellence over
all other brands of coal oil or petro-
leum.
1t is the safest, the Board of United
States Underwriters rating it as safe.
1t is free from benzne and paraf-
fine, and will never chill in the coolest
temperature.
1t has no disagreeable color.
Its light-giving power is extraordi-
nary.
1t flows freely up the wick and
burns without 'incrustation, thus
avoiding the frequent retrimming so
annoying when other oils are used.
In Pittsburg, where the variou.
brands of oil are properly rated, the
best Headlight sells for liz cents pei
gallon, while Elaine sells for 154
cents-a difference of 35 per cent
This is for spot cash.
Elaine being the brightest, cleanes'
pleasantest, it is therefore the BEST
bv great odds and should be uset
by all.
But the principal reason why i
should be used everywhere, either il
the family, the store, the mill, or else
where, is because it is the SAFEST
and deserves its name OF 1.-The Faniil,
Safeguard"
If people would use Elaine oil AM
no other, this would be the very hes
insurance policy, and FIRE caused b,
coal oil would he an impossibility.
