The Salt Lake & Sioux City.

The first public move that has been so far
made by the Pacific Short Line people to-
ward the building of the road was an
nounced yesterday. and long before the
press could scatter the report broadcast,
the business centers were discussing the
report and exchanging congratulations.
Everybody was happy, and it stiffened the
backbone Of the real estate market in
stantly. On the confirmation Of the news
prices came up in several parts of the city
and suburban property. The wholesale and
retail Uradesmeu were confident EXPIRES
sions. and, although the news had been eN-
uected for several days, people treated It

what it viii cost some Of the roads, the
Queen and Crescent route has lately issued
a tariff which costs $1,000. There Will
probably be twenty changes in rates in a
year, consequently it would cost this com
pany 100000 for this one tariff alone.
Referring to the cost of railroad pools,
the Philadelphia Press says that all told
these organizations cost in salaries and eX-
nenses 81, 223, 721. and to this must be added
the time given by railroad officers who at
tend them to aid some one else in minding
their own work This is estimated at
$500. COO a year. no overestimate. The total
cost of these Iuxuries was in 1883, 81, 800, 900,
or about 2 per cent. on the sum paid out as
dividends last year by the entire railroad
system of the country. The worst of it is
that last year these associations accom-
plished almost nothing. The fact is that
pools and associations are not wanted when
there is freight enough to go around, and
they break down when there isn't. Some
tirmer bond sanctioned by law is needed to
control our railroads.

The Enreka SPUR.

thirty teams at work by tomorrow morn

point about midway between IrOntOn and

said. made an offer to the company Of 5000,
provided the line be built from Silver city.
This the company acceded TO, but wanted
some water rights for their engines III re

Hence the selection of the terminus as now
agreed upon, and Silver will not bear the
proud title Of "Lhe Junction city"

THE HERALD'S exclusive railway
news. - writes correspondent from Salina,
..has created no little sensation here, and
the general expression is that Of extreme
satisfaction. When the railroad strikes
Salina it will find one Of the most valuable
spots Astounding in the natural resources, Of
which Utah boasts. in the west. We have
specimens of coal, mineral salt, beautiful
alum. marble and sandstone, all Of which
are in abundance within easy access and of
quality that will peer with the world, to
say nothing of the undiscovered mineral
and other resources that will in due time,
be developed. 1t would do the heart Of an
epicure good to see the beautiful white
table salt that is manufactured in Salina
by the primitive though etfectual mode Of
evaporation The chief salt man is Mr..
Francis Oliver. who says when the railroad
strikes town he will be rich man"

DEMOCRATIC AGAIN.
Chicago is Right Side Up With
Care.
DENVER IS NOT so FAVORABLE.
st. Louis Has a Democratic MayOr-The Re-
publicans Gain Some Places, but not
Very Many.

CHICAGO, April 2.-The municipal election
held to-day in this city closed one of the
hottest campaigns seen here in a number Of
years, not excepting that of two years ago,
when John A. Roche was nominated by the
Republicans and endorsed by the Demo
Gratis as the candidate of the Anarchists
and Unionists parties. The Republican
ticket this time was headed by Mayor
Roche and the Democratic by Dewitt {.
Creagier who was commissioner OF public
works under Carter Harrison.
Two weeks ago, the labor party nomin-
ated Samuel Gross, a real estate and cheap
home dealer, but his candidacy created dis
sensions, and he withdrew. The labor
party made no nomination thereafter, but
the Socialists named one of their orators,
named Orchardson. Their ticket, how
ever, seems to cut but little figure at the
election. The campaign fight between the
Democrats and Republicans was Waged
bitterly, charges being brought against
Creagier for lncompetency when in his
former position, etc, while bitter light
was made against Mayor Roche on
charges that he was opposed to tel
ephOne legislation and favored, and
was supported by, surface street car
mOnOpOlies and trusts. Charges Of know
nottingham were preferred strongly against
both candidates. and it would seem that
the efforts of factions III this direction
were largely nullitied.
Returns received up to 10o'clOck tonight,
from 330'out of 3Sl precincts, give Creagier
a majority of $3.50. His majority in the
whole city viii, probably, considerably eX
coed 10000. In both parties there was a
great deal of scratching, and the result Of
the election for other officers will not be
known until very late hour.
Returns at II 30 show that all candidates
on the Democratic ticket are elected by
pluraljtics averaging about 12,C00. The
north and west town tickets of the
Democrats GO ii and they secure the circuit
judge. i considerable gain of a number Of
Democratic aldermen is also conceded. The
only Republican success was in hanging on
to the soutn town Offices by d narrow

The Stomach pistil!s Acids.

These, if existent in natural quantity,
and unvitiated by bile play their part in
tle functions Of digestion and assimilation.
But the artificial acid resulting from the
inability of the stomach to convert food
received by it into sustenance, is the pro
Queer of fIatulence and heartburn, which
are the most harrassing symptoms OF
dyspepsia. The best carminatiye is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Far more eff
fective is it than carbonate of soda, mag
nesia or other alkaline salts. These in
variably weaken the stomach without pro
ducing permanent benefit. No man OF
woman chronically dyspeptic, and conse-
quently nervous, can be in possession Of
the full measure of vigor allowed by ma
ture Therefore, invigOrate and regulate
the system, and by SO doing protect it
from malaria, rheumatism and other seri-
Gus maladieS.

A Probable Reduction in wages.

G. w. Gushing, superintendent of ma
chinery of the Union Pacific, returned to
Omaha recently from a general tour of in
spection over the various lines of the Union
Pacific system. His trip was principally in
the interest of retreuchment, and that
there is TO be a general cutting down Of
expenses and salaries seems to be con
ceded.
The Union Pacific pays out about S15G,OOO
a month in salaries and it was deemed ad-
visable by the directors to cut down eN-
penses. Mr.. Cushing's reputation for re
trenchment and economy" said Union
Pacific official 'aided very materially in
securing him the position of superintendent
of machinery. He may be using the axe
~ reform too freely, but he regards it as
mis- duty to his employers to reduce their
expenses at every point possible. He
should not be blamed for it, He is doing
what he thinks is right and if there are too
many men on the pay rolls and too nigh a
salary, it is but proper to chop them off or
cut their salaries down.

The cost Of printing tariffs is one which
is proving a very big item of expense to
railroad companies, and especially so since
4be Interstate commerce commission has
TnIed that tariffs must be kept posted at all
stations One of the worst features about
tbe matter. however, is that the commission
viii probably make a ruling declaring sup
Elemental tariffs illegal. This TACT was
brought out by a conversation heId py
prominent railroad official with Chairman
Cooley in which the latter gentleman stated
that he considered every circular or amend
me- made to a tariff illegal, and that the
foaos should print a new tarln Tor every
change. The railroads consider this 81 eat
injustice, and say that if such a ruling is
made rates win have to be put up higher IN
order TO meet expenses. AS an instance OF

Assistant Commissioner of Patents.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Robel't j. Fisher,
who was to-day nominated to be assistant
Of patents, was born at York,
and is forty-one years of
age. In 1863 Fisher began the practice of

Since that time he has passed through
