The tendency of life is to make
us greVel, our better natures being
overcome by the earthiness that en-
compasses them. For this reason
there is constant need of noble
thoughts, lofty aspirations and devo-
ton to good works. To think of the
things that are true, honorable,
righteous, lovely and of good report,
is absolutely necessary, if we are to
escape degradation.

A GEoRGIA EDIToR's SALCTAToRY.
The Star of Fort Gaines, Ca, has
a new editor, and a passage from his
salutatory is as follows: 1--WE feel like
we have claims upon the people of
Georgia, having been preacher and
pastor for forty-four years. and hav-
ing in that time baptized over 1000
people, we feel as Paul said, if any
others have claims we have more,
having labored more abundantly.-
But now being too old and ugly long
er to be a pastor, we turn in this di-
rection hoping still to be able to do
some good in the world, and to make
an honest living for ourself and FAM
lily. There will be, SO soon as we can
get under way, religious corner In
the paper for Sabbath reading"

THE Rdiiiody Age has lust published
the new railway statistics for the first nine
months of the current year. These figures
show that few long lines are in process OF
construction anywhere, but that an un-
usual number Of short lines are under
way. In thirty nine states and territories
1912 miles of new track have been laid
upon pa different lines, an average OF a
little less that Is miles to each line. Geor-
gIs leads with 233 miles on 10 different
lines; Washington comes next with 2i4
miles on II lines; Texas third with l79
miles on 8 lines; Virginia fourth with
1865 miles on 10 lines; Tennessee fifth
with ITO miles on s lines, and Pennsylva-
MIA sixth with ISL miles on Is lines.
The states in which not a mile of new
track has been laid are Vermont, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Iowa,
and Nevada. The territories OF New
Mexico and Arizona also fail to report
any new railway. The greatest increase,
Of course, is in the South-eleven South
cru states, including Texas, ~aggregating
LAS miles, or nearly As per cent Of the
total The anti railway politicians tf
Iowa have put a stop to railway extern
sion in that state.
The work in progress and ready for
new track indicates a total of new track
for the year>of not less than 5000 miles.
The total new track for 1855. was 1000
miles; for 1887. nearly 1900; for 1886,
$500; 1882, II. 1900, and 1881, $500. In
no Others years in the history of the
country has tue new track exceeded the
promise Of 1889. On the whole, there
fore, the track laying record for the year
shows a good average, and the active OPP
e~rations IN progress augur well for a very
considerable increase in 1890.

the streets of that city in his buggy hi:
horse took fright and threw him to the
pavement breaking his leg and thigh and
fracturing his skull. He is in a most dan,
gerous condition and his chances for life
are very slim. Mr.. Davidson is well
known in this city, being a member OF the
G.. A. r. post and is a most excellent
gentleman respected by every one.
The accident occurred last Tuesday and
its victim passed away the day following.

The Union Pacific Ry.. also known as
The Overland Route, has lately added to
its service a number Of new cars (which
by the way are built by the World famous
Pullman Company entitled Colonist
Sleepers, and which for convenience and
comfort are but little behind the hand
some Pullman Palace Car. The cars are
designed for the use and comfort of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV
ing West to grow up with the country.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies' and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing headboards and heavy damask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular first-class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and a good supply of
water are also to be found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of
the passengers. and no smoking is al
lowed. 1t certainly seems,that tor cheap
and comodious sleeping Accommodations,
while travelling these cars cannot be ex-
celled.

HercuIean strength

Continually on the strain, or overtaxed at
intervals. is far less desirable than ordi-
nary vigor perpetuate1 by rational diet
and exercise, and abstention from excess.
Professional pugllists and athletes rarely
attain extreme old age. As ordinary vigor
may be retained by a wise regard for san
itary living, and for the protection against
disease which timely and iudicious medi.
cation affords, SO also it may be lost
through prolonged sedentary labor, unin.
terrupted mental strain. and foolish eat.

THE LADDERS prediction that ono CT
the first moves of the new railroad COM
bination will be the completion of the
Cheyenne 4 Northern seems to be shared
by the Denver Republican, which says in
its issue of yesterday morning: "A spe-
cial dispatch from Rapid City, OAK, to
the Omahh Bee states that the Union
Pacific managers are making an effort to
secure an entrance to Rapid City and the
trade OF that section by way of the Elk
horn Valley road from the west. II con-
summated this arrangement will place
Rapid City and the Black Hills country
in direct connection with Denver and the
Pacific coast by way OF Cheyenne. 1t is
clearly evident that there are no flies on
the Union Pacific and its present nov
will clearly rebound to the benefit of this
city"

The Oldest House.

One Of the oldest houses in America is
the stone mansion on the Stats farm,
about four miles below the village Of
Greenbush, on the river bank. The
building was erected of blue stone and
brick in 1850, and at present is occupied
by Lawrence and Philip Stats, and is in
a splendid state of preservation. The
house faces south and west, and COM
mands an extended view of the Hudson
and surrounding country. Hard by the
ancient dwelling, IN a pleasant knoll, is
the family burial ground, which contains
the remains of generation after genera
ton Of the Stats family, who came to
this country when New York was set
tied by the Hollanders, about 1914. The
Stats farm and the three farms adjoin-
ing to the north were occupied when the

Tin in Fremont County.

There has been considerable excitement
here during the past week over the dis
covery of immense veins of tin on Gold
and Mill creeks eight miles west of South
pass. Over 100 locations have already
been made and the people from the sur
rounding country are fockipg to the
scene.
Tin was known to exist in this section
for a number of years but until two weeks
ago its exact location was not divulged.
Last spring a miner from Deadwood
named Collins prospected the country and
went back to Deadwood, taking with him
samples of what he supposed was tin.
At Deadwood he had them assayed and
returned here about two weeks ago and
commenced locating claims. The news of
his discovery soon spread and claims are
being located and staked off in a don't
want-to get left fashion.

A Pittsburger, who recently returned
from a trip to Europe, was relating SOM
OF his experiences to n group of relatives
and intimate friends the other night, and
the recital proved interesting enough to
all present, but particularly to an aunt
OF the voyager, an old lady Of 70 odd,
who had never been at sea.
81 think that nothing impressed me SO
much" said the traveller, "as n burial ut
sea which / witnessed on the VOYAGE
home. The poor fellow who died was a
sailor-he fell from a yard and crushed
his skull upon the deck. Tho funeral
service took place in the afternoon of a
warm June day. 1t was inexpressibly
solemn. The sea was as calm as the
Ohio is today-hardly n ripple on the
waves, hardly a cloud in the sky.
"a clergyman, who happened to be on
board, read the Episcopal service for the
burial Of the dead at sea, and very beau
tiful 1t was. The coffin lay In the middle
of the group of his fellow seamen, with
the passengers in a greater circle beyond
them. A gangway had been opened in
the bulwarks to allow the launching of
the coffin into the sea.
There the coffin lay, with the union
jack wrapped around it. The sea seemed
to have grown more calm than ever. It
was like polished glass. Not q sign of
life over it; not a ship in sight; not even
a gull or flying fish to break the barren
ness Of that great watery desert, only
the great steamer clearing her Way
But, John" broke in the aged aunt,

The irruption of laughter at his point
knocked a pathetic situation into a
cooked hat. The story of the burial at

THE LEGISLATIVE TACANCK

In all Legislative bodies whether munic-
ipal or legislative, the great need is for
practical men of affairs. The trouble
usually is hat too many laws are passed
instead of too few.
Mr.. Henry Altman. the Democratic
nominee. has been a member OF the city
council and as such has made for himself
n public record for honesty and practical
ability second to o With all due
credit to everyone who deserves it MIR.
Altman is mainly responsible for the city
park which can find no duplicate in the
entire West.
Mr.. Adams has already served one
term in the legislature. 1t was in the
last legislature and as n rule none
of the members of that body made such a
record as to cover themselves with glory.
Mr.. Adams was no exception to the rule.
We believe Mr.. Altman will be elected
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the res
i~gnation Of Mr.. Clark simply because he
ought to be. As bet ween the two men
the general public, irrespective of party,
will recognize the superior fitness of Mr..
Altman and therefore elect him.
