Mr.. Gould 3 health always improves IN

every one who has seen MIR. Gould lately
that there is every indication that he was

dinner with perfect satisfaction to him.
self. Mr.. Could first entry into the
directory of the Union Pacific involved
the exercise of much greater strategy
than that which attended his return to
the directory of the company OIL last
Wednesday. While the Union Pacific
was endeavorng to recover from the dis
astrous results of the panic OF 1873,
when the Ames family were forced to ask
an extension from the creditors o.
the various firms and corporation
in which they were Interested on &C
count of the enormous sums which they
had invested in the securities of this
company, MIR. Jay Gould was a power
in the Pacific Mail. He built the steam
ers City of Pekiug and the City of Toxic,
and then sent the City CT Picking on q
! junketing tour of the Eastern seaports,
such as was never known before or since.
There was music and feasting, and
| paclfic Mail stock went up as If in hearty
! sympathy with the champagne corks
which popped on the City of Picking,
| while Union Pacific stock went down
| just as so many vessels of the Pacific
| Mail company have before and since.
| While Pacific Mail was booming, Union
| Pacific WAS slumpIng. The City of Peh-
| ing having completed its tour of festIvity
| was loaded for San Francisco, while
! Mr. Gould was quietly loading up
| with Union Pacific, and getting out o!
/ Pacific Mail. The City of Picking, after
! her arrival in San Francisco, was pro-
| nOunced failure; the stock of the Pa
! cific Mail went down and Union Pacific
went up, and a little more than fifteen
years ago, MIR. Gould, rs he did on
| Wednesday, took q trip to Boston; voted
| lOO. 600 shares of stock in his own name;
elected his own board; and declared
quarterly dividend of one and one-half
per cent, the first dividend ever declared
by the company. The stock was then
selling around seventy-fve. On last
Wednesday Mr.. Sydney Dillon again
stepped into the presidential char of the
L MON Pacific railway company, which
he occupied fourteen years ago. MT.
Di Ion made large Tart OF his fortune
in building the road, ana mas never
severed his connection with 1t. Ii would
probably surprise some people TO learn
that in returning to the seat IN the board
which he iirst occupied, more than fif-
teen years ago, Mr.. Gould will find in
the places which they have held ever
since, three directors BESIDES MIR. Dillon.
These are F. Gordon Dexter of Boston,

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Jay Gould is

largest salt plants in this country. The
story comes from Kansas City that New
York the Diamond and the Pennsylvania
salt works in Hutchinson, Kan. were
conveyed TO the Missouri Pacific railroad
last week for consideration of $50, 600.
The purchase was made by General

then that road g competitors are forced
to do the same thing to equalize matters
and the result Is that the money Is spent
and no one but the agent derives any
benefit from it.
This practice is carried on to great
extent in Kansas City. Not only DO all
the ticket agents receive com missions,
but all of the ticket scalpers, and in many
instances all of the clerks in the differ
ent offices. A clerk sells ticket for an
outside road and the ticket agent gets
good sized commission and he gets
''cap' of fifty cents or more.

his good looks, winning ways and
small wages as q herder, to keep
wife on. Roysou's suit was fostered
by he old folks, but the girl did not
like him, and would not have him
around. At last the matter became so
hot that young Holland was ordered OFF,
and told to be sure to keep out of rifle
shot of the house for fear of stray bull
lets. The constant urging of the cattle
man and the coercion OF the parents
made life a burden for the girl, and the
lovers decided to be wed by foul means,
since fair ones

The girl gave reluctant consent to marry
Royson, and all the preparations for

had come and the guests were in

consequent upon the preparation for the
marriage, the girl and Holland slipped
away from the house, the lady dressed
in mans suit of clothes, and the two
mounted their horses and were aailoping
away before their flight was discovered.
A hot chase was soon inaugurated and

Holland were heavily armed. and when
