Grated her feelings at some time in the

| The old saying that lightning never strikes
| twice in the same place" is falsehOod, for we
have been hit no less than five times in the way
| of 4 libel suit, and twice since we have been
| turning The Landmark crank. We now have
one of these choice tidbits on hand, this time by
| favor of Mrs. Selma E. Boutelle, or her next
friend, W. B: C. Suckney, Prohto!tton State At
| torney for the great county of Windsor. Mrs.
| BOuteIle wants $4,000 to soothe her lacerated
| feelings and we don't blame her bit; that is
just the amount we are after, though not from
|
| if In no other. She sues for the rather lengthy
| item we published one year ago relative to her
| matter. With that $4,000 she can, when she gets
| it, set up in business and flourish like green
bay tree. AS is usual in such cases folks are be-
| ginning to be awfully worried for us in advance
of our setting the example. Would it not be
well for all such to refrain from shedding tears
until are begin TO flourish our handkerchief In the
region Ofthose shining orbs that fash out like
calcium light from our "dome Ofthought?"

If l could write anything of interest /
would be glad to do so, but to try to fol-
| low professors in the attempt would seem
tame to your readers. We, Mrs. B. and
myself, have had fine, fast run by way
| OF the 0IdHu 1Eunh. u ID. ~ " anu Tie
| u. P. railroads, all of which are first
class in every particular. Political feel
ing is running high, as is shown by spir-
| tied discussions on all trains and in all
circles. One test vote taken on the G.
B. &c Q. train last week showed 49, for
Harrison and Morton and l6 for Cleve-
| land and Thurman. Crops, and especial
| ly corn, west of the Mississippi river are
the heaviest for many years. Denver
must be known as the banner town west
of Omaha. with its 20 different lines of
railroads, its 1000 people, seemingly
all employed. its magnificent public and
corporation buildings, claiming the finest
opera house in the United States, shows
plainly that Colorado mines and eastern
men and stamina have combined their
forces to advantage, and no doubt have
located more wealth here than any town
east of the Pacific coast to the Missouri
river. We go to Leadville tomorrow
by way of the Midland Colorado railroad
and thence to Salt Lake City. Should L
think could interest your readers L will
write when further on. | only regret
you are not with US on the trip from here
| west.
