The action Of the great lines Of rail-
roads in providing q way to stop cut
ting the rates on freight and passengers,
it seems to Us is for the best. In fact,
We imagine that it has been forced upon
the managers by the stockholders. The
cutting Of rates has, to large extent,
besn done by subordinate officials, and
the results upon the earnings Of tho
roads have been great. The results to
the people have also been bad. There
is not business man in the country
who does not prefer steady rates, SUCH
as he can always rely upon as being
uniform. To have freights up ore day
and down another demoralizes business
to an extent that only those engaged in
It can reslizs. What the business man
and the travelling public wants is rsgu-
larity in charges, and to know that his
competitor is paying the same rates that
he does. If that can be accomplished
by the combine" the mass of the peo-
pie will be satisfied. Tee people don't
wish the stockholders of the various
companies to suffer on the account of
ow rates. Neither do they want that
Individuals, lines and ''trusts" shall have

ever since the Haddock murder have sue
ceeded to an admirable degree, but it has
only been by the most constant and tirelees
work.
Recently the liquor element has grown

letter is surmounted by a skull and CROSS
bones.
Sioux C1TY.-Mr Phillip II. Grimm, At

have been aware of the order of White Caps.
You can therefore take due notice from this
warning. Liberal citizens of Sioux City
have come to the conclusion that you are g

city is demanded at once. It you do not
leave at once you can depend that we will
call on You. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Rich Mining Fields In Arizona.
A Tucson dispatch says that Ed T. Jones,
the we'll known cotton man in the Baboq.
moari, started for the rich strike in the
Harqua Hala mountains when the first
newspaper reports were published. He re-
turned to Tucson on Saturday boiling over
with enthusiasm over the new camp. The
original discovery IN the Harqua Halas was
made by Robert Steen, Harry Wharton and
Bob Sullivan, and they have located ten
aims that are rich beyond description.
Mr.. Jones put up monuments on ten claims
and says there are now about forty claims
located. When asked if he thought it O
permanent find he said:
"There is no doubt at all it is. Two
claims have been prospected for 5000 feet,
aud the ledge shows plainly the entire dis
tance and over $4,000 was taken out with
only picks. In another place the body Of
ore crops out forty feet wide. In removing
huge bowlder from the spot where it was
desired to sink shaft, it was discovered to
be full of mineral, and on testing it assayed
Sits gold to the ton.
There was taken out Of a six foot hole five
sacks of nugget iron and matted gold, the
hundred feet of the ledge first discovered
and on the same claim is a big carbonate
ledge from which lead can be melted on a
trying pan. The men who located the big
strike are watching their claims closely to
prevent trespassers from helping themselves
to the ore, which is 60 rich that many dol
lars could be carried of in mans pocket.

that six more Of the victims of the Cyclone
have been buried. They were John Reber,

The estimate is made that the loss to
property, cansed by the tornado in this city,
Is about 100000.
There has been no more deaths among the
100 injured.
The relief committee, in dispensing its
charity, has discovered about q dozen per-
