New Time b

In concluding a lengthy article headed:
New Tram Service" the Omaha Re
publican says:
The Union Pacific is also arranging to
make important changes. They propose
to fix it SO that the overland flyer will
leave here at 5 o'clock p. M, the slow
train at II a. NJ. and put on a Denver
train to go out about Ia. m. By this
arrangement the overland flyer" would
catch the slow train and pass it at Chey-
enne. 1t is believed that the morning
Denver train means the Northwestern
through vestibule. In the meantime the
Golden Gate special runs independent
and has a clear track.

lANSW VI SoA-l
A melodramatic farce was produced at
the Third Avenue last night. Melodra-
matte farces do not grow on every theat-
rical tree these seasons, but it seems you
can graft them if you possess the secret.
Mr.. Herbert Hall Winslow, a young man
from Chicago, who once wrote for the
newspapers, is the author of this most
peculiar piece. A Chip o. the Old Block.
He has within a brief period turned ort
three or four plays in which the farce ele-
ment has been unusually good. In a
Chip o the Old Block, seen here yester-
day for the first time, he has demonstrated
that he is a play builder with whom all
materials are to the purpose and nothing
too incongruous for some use.
You shift with Mr.. Winslow from a
topical song to gu abduction with sym
phonic music, from a medley to an at
tempted murder, and from the heavy VIII
lain last card to the heroic soubrette's
song and dance wind up.

the sentence is approved and will be duly
executed. 1t is not considered conducive

found guilty of so grave an offense."

WILL LAW RETURN?

Robert Law, formerly proprietor of the
Cozzens hotel and board of trade restau-
rant in this city, also a former employe of
the Union Pacific, but nov assistant gen
eral manager of the Northern Pacific, is
in the city says the Omaha Bee, and ru
of comforting with the management of the
Union Pacific with a view to his coming
back to the latter road. 1t is stated that
George Dickinson, general superintendent
of the Montana Union, and who is a
brother OF General Superintendent Dick
inson-of the Union Pacific, has rendered
his resignation and that Law is to be his
successor. The return OF Vice President
Holcombe is expected to-day, and in the
near future after ward it is intlmated that
the official guillotine will be set in opera
ton. That the coming of Law is a fore
cast of something of this kind is univer-
sally considered.
Another rumor hat has Just been
started is to the effect that at an early
udtc Ohc IcSlRudLlOu VI ueueTdl CupcTll-
tendent Dickinson would find it way to
the vice presidents table. 1t was stated
by Vice President Holcomb. when inter
viewed by a reporter for the Bee several
DAYS ago that the matter of abolishiug
the department of general superinten-
dent was at that time being considered,
but Just what the result would be or how
soon it would be accomplished he did not
state. 1t is stated at headquarters that
Laws mission here was for the purpose
of consulting Holcomb, but additional
information was cleaned to the effect that
the conference would most likely result
in MIR. Law connecting himself with the
management of the Union Pacific in the
near future. Whether he will be given
the position of assistant general manager
instead Of Mr.. Cumming, who formerly
occupied this position, is the point in
question.

evening, and while guarded in converse

to Wyoming people. Mr.. Mulaby said
that the company had many men in the

that there would be no cessation of oper-
ations GU account of weather. He is
here to gather some data at the United
States land office, and will return to Raw

a surveying corps, running lines between
the Platte and Sweetwater rivers. Like
everyone else he is satisfied that the COM

not need any Missouri immigration
We can hold our own without.
The Payette river is the lowest ev-

long, passed up Thursday morning,
Aug. lst, and was witnessed for an
hour by Catchall, who called George
Tregaskis and VIM. Hill, and all
could see them keeping the top of
the water in a boil, and could plain
ly see them as red as fish can be
Others witnessed the same. We saw
them in boat right in the midst oi
the school. Now, there.
There are heaps of fruit, but the
scarcity of water will make much oi
it imperfect.
Many of the Emmettvillians are So
journing in Long valley, and swear
they will stay there until water wont
boil in the sun down here.
We will start tomorrow for the
capital, thence to follow the crowd
to Long valley. Then ''Fruit Trees

pect some notes by the wayside.
