The railroad managers of st. Louis do not
seem to have any grave fears of trouble on

They refer to such reports as having no fouu-

that were they true they would not create much

Alleged Valise Theft.

Yesterday morning, a young man
aged % years, named George Lee, was
arrested at the Central Hotel by Officer
Chambers on the complaint of Mr..
David Dunsire, resident of Grass Val
ley, Garfield county, on the charge Of
having stolen valise from the U. d n.
tran, belonging to him.s 1t appears that
Mr.. Dunsire for some time past has been
working in a mine at Cariboo, and
boarded the train at McCammon on his
way home. Lee was also on the train,
sitting near the door Of the car, close by
where Mr.. Dunsire placed his valise
along with several others that
were, already there. On the ar
rival of the train at the Ogden de
pot, Mr.ADunsire assisted lady with
several children to remove her baggage
from the car before paying any atten-
ton to his own. When he had gener-
ously performed this service, he
returned for his valise, but it was
non est. He Immediately laid the in
formation of his experience before
Waterman Riley, who caused search
of all outgoing trains, in the hope that
someone travelling through might have
taken it in mistake for his own, but the
valise was not to be seen. A telephone
message was then sent to the City Hall,
and search of all the hotels in the city
was made, when the missing satehel
was found at the Central Hotel, and in
quiry showed the name of the individ-
ual, who was supposed to be the owner,
as George Lee. The gentleman, how
ever was not there, and the police officer
waited his return. On getting back to
his lodgings, the alleged thief was taken
into custody, and Mr.. Dunsire identi-
fed him as passenger on the Utah &
Northern south-bound train. and the
yalise as his own. As Mr.. Dunsire has
been working as foreman at the mine,
it was supposed that his vslise would
contain money and valuables, and this
is thought to have melted TO its theft.
He was brought before Judge Thomss
d. Dee. yesterday, and was committed
for ninety nine days in the city jail.

LABOR.

Is it any wonder that our laboring
classes are dissatisfied with the i'm
p~ortation Of foreign labor, and the
continued flow of immigration to our
shores. Think of nineteen thousand
pauper emigrants being received in
New York in one day, the 4th of May,
to take the places of our honest labor
ers, whose skill is their only means of
subsistence. Is it not time to call a
halt ? If we have protection for the
American manufacturer and trades
man, we must have protection for the
American laborer and farmer. We
cannot discriminate. Every farmer,
mechanic and laborer should write to
their Representatives in Congress and
insist upon a law being passed to regu'
late immigration. The American me
chanic will consume twice the amount
of farmers products, and pay better
prices for them than any imported
| pauper laborer that we have ever seen
We have sold our farm products
direct to all classes, and we know
what we say to be true, from expert

MRS, CLEVELAND'S PONIES.

The president has SO far relented
from his original determination as to
buy for his wife a pretty phaeton, with
a seat behind for the groom, and a
pair of small brown horses for her ex-
elusive use, and thereby hangs a tale.
A man in Richmond wrote a pathetic
letter to the president not long since,
which by some ~inadvertence on the
part of the wise "prlvate secretary,
fell into his own hands. In it the
man went on to say that he had mar
ried a young and beautiful girl three
months before, and had bought for
her, with many fond anticipations, a
pair of horses, for which he had
searched the South over, and she drove
them for a few short weeks, and then,
on returning from a drive n after
noon, died suddenly in his arms from
heart disease. He could not bear to
see these reminders of a happy past
any more, and Mrs. Cleveland was
the only woman into whose hands ne
was willing to have them fall. lie
concluded by saying that he was toe
poor to give them to her, but ne
wanted her to have these treasures OF
his pretty dead wife. The president
without having seen the horses at all
telegraphed to have them sent on, anc
in a letter following enclosed a CHECK
for them. They came, saw and con
ouered at once as they are pretty
gentle little animals, and smiling peact

four weeks.
The oculist is often asked: "What

have to say that there is no method of
accomplishing this when nature has
decreed otherwise, but such dlsap-

which follows as a result of cutting
them. A little white vaseline applied
in a very small quantity occasionally
may increase the beauty somewhat by
preventing excessive dryness but be-
yond this the eyelashes should not be
interfered with in any way. The most
frequent cause of diminishing beauty
of the evelashes is disease Of the eye
