OGDEN, UTAH, Feb. 6.-Heav
snow storms are reported north

Short Line from Grange to Pocatel'

DENVER, Feb. 26.-The south
division of the Denver & Ric

blockade. Over two feet of snow
fell during the last three days.
Railroad cuts, where the snow
reached above the tops of the

Clark & Potts. Sale.


Clark & Potts, who conducted
the auction sale of horses at Mex
leo, Mo-, gave great satisfaction to
both sellers and buyers. They
used their best efforts to get the
full value of all stock committed to
them for sale, and transacted all
their business in a manly, honora-
BILE manner. There were no un-
reasonable charges for anything,
and buyers and sellers, when they
left Mexico, had none but the kind
est feelings, not only towards
Messrs. Clark & Potts, but towards
the citizens of that town generally.
We understand that these annual
sales have been established to stay,
and that every spring similar auc-
ton sales will be held. Those hav-
ing stock to sell will find good men
to conduct the sales, and those who
want to buy any class of horses
will find them at these annual
sales which ought to grow in ina.
portance yearly.

A Pretty Picture Of the En-.
President and His Charm.
Ing Wife,.
Blakely Hail.

Blakeiy Hall.
Mi. Cleveland's regular Sunday
visit to church always attracts a
certain number of sightseers. New
York has not as yet grown familiar
with his appearance, though he is
usually recognized by downtown
lawyers and business men. On
Sunday, however, he frequently
walks through the streets with his
wife, practically un~recognized un.
til he reaches the church. He Is
always promptly on hand. and af-
ter the service he and Mrs. Cleve-
land pursue their way steadfastly
and p~ersistently to the door.
A great many people attempt to
stop and shake hands with the ex-
President bat he moves steadily
ahead. He has no intention of
holding a regular Sunday reception
in a church. Mrs. Cleveland looks
a little taller than her spouse,
though this effect is doubtless due
to her physique. She is much more
robust than when she married the
President, and her face retains all
of it's early charm of girlish good
nature and contentment. Mr. leve-
land is the picture of a good, big
solid, substantial, unpretentioua
American citizen. Mrs. Cleveland
chatted with him all the time with
the utmost vivacity as they walked
along. Once IN a great while the
ex-P President would turn and answer
her with an afectionate CLEAN in
his eye or with a quiet smile, but
for the most part the wife carried
on the conversation by herself.
Mrs. Cleveland's unpretentious
and charming manner has kept her
in the grade of society in which her
position as the Presidents wife
originally placed her. She is still
very widely sought after by that
curious and unique section of hu-
manity known as tour best socie-

The Petroleum Output.

Since 1861 America has extracted
from we'll petroleum and its resolv-
ents to the value of 1896, 115 200.
The highwater mark was reached
in 1877, when the product was
valued at s61, 7S9, 43S, though the
quantity that year was but 1861
753 barrels of AZ gallons each. In
1887, the last year reported, the
value of the product was SAG, 1924
933 and the quantity 21,818,O S7
barrels, a decrease of about 4,OOO,-
600 barrels under the product of
1885. The supply is gradually de-

John TRACER, an Indiana man,

much in love that he didn't care

The stock market continues to show dimln-
ishing volume of business, and the trans
actions to-day were IN all probability the
smallest on record, while the fluctuations ia
prices and the interest taken in them were
strictly upon the same plan. The features
of the market were confined to the selling OF
Erie in the early dealers and the efforts
Texas Pacific down, meeting with only
slight success IN either. The bank state
ment was, if anything, more favorable than
expected, as some money was known TO
have gone out of the banks, while the rec
ceipts from bouds purchased by the treasury
were limited, and the increase of nearly
million dollars SO close to the LIST of April is
regarded as favorable to better business: and
the general opinion on the street is that q
broader and better market may be expected
between the 1st and the 18th of next month.
The efforts of the bears gave the market,
which had been utterly stagnant, rather
heavy tone toward the end Of The session, and
the close was heavy, though the final changes
bonds were equally dull and feat
ureless, and displayed dropping
tendency, though no movement Of
importance took place. The sales of bonds
for the week aggregated S., 967, 900. Govern
ment bonds have been dull and steady.
State bonds have been neglected. The Post
says: Altogether the bank statement did
not show quite so much gain of reserve as
was expected though the payment OF S6,OOO,-
QUO of the United states interest on April L,
besides the large payments on railroad and
other bonds on the same date is pretty GER
tain TO make much more favorable state
ment next week. But. SO far as the stock
market is concerned, there is now no longer
any serious apprehension OF tight money,
and if there was much disposition to specu.

they will probably creep up gradually from
month to month and remain more perma-
nently on higher level, un il some great
change in the demand for money advances
the rates of interest and consequently re-
duces the values of interests and dividends

kind can be foreseen in the present aspect
