FORT DOUGLAS FACTS.

Upon the question as to the right to fur
Tough and discharge under General Order
No. so, of a soldier who had served eight
years on August 10, 1890, the enlistment
having been make August 10, 1887, the ma
lor-general commanding the army an
nounces as follows: Gas the within-named
man enlisted August 10, 1857, he had served
less than three years under his present en-
listment, and is therefore eligible to all the
benefits of the law of that date He is en-
titled to discharge November 10, 1890, if he
shall so elect at any time that will admit of
his discharge being accomplished on the
day mentioned; after that date his right to
discharge lapses In the meantime he is
entitled to furlough for any period he
may desire, provided it shall expire not
later than the day upon which he becomes
eligible to discharge, that is to say, No
vember 10, 1890. In other words, while the
right to discharge is confined to certain
day, there is no specified day upon which
application must be made therefor. Any
DAY between the expiration of the third
year of enlistment and the last day of the
third month thereafter is suitable for the
purpose" We reproduce the above from
the Kansas City Times for the information
and guidance of re enlisted men at the post

Some Interesting Facts.

The report Of Statistician Adams, of the
Interstate commerce commission, shows
that the railway property of the United
States is controlled by 1,705 organizations.
The number of men employed is 704, TAB,
showing that 1863 men are employed for
every 100 miles of line. This evidences
greater efficiency than is attained On for
eign roads. For example, in England there
are 346, 426 men employed, which gives
LAS men for every 100 miles of line. The
efficiency of the men employed on American
railways is shown by the fact that each
engine has carried what is equivalent to
2,214, 455 tons of freight one mile and 3S2,-
1862 passengers one milc. The total num-
Der of passengers carried by rail in the
United States was 472, III ,34S The total
number of tons of freight carried was 539.-
639, 1888: the average haul for each ton of
freight was 1876 miles, showing a ton
mileage Of 6S, 121, 2223 LAG. The taDle show
ing the equipment of railways is especially
interesting. Il shows %, 036 locomotives,
OF which S,0s9 are passenger and 15 40 are
freight locomotives: Z, 10S passenger locomo-
tives and s, 143 freight locomotives are fitted
with automatic train brakes. There are
9J1, ll9 cars used of which y, 665 are in the
passenger service and S54, OBJ in the freight
service; 23,540 passenger cars and CSC, 5l3
brakes.
The statistics of accidents show that
during the year $50 passengers have been
killed and 9.146 passengers injured This
shows that one passenger mas been killed
in every ], 523, 1873 passengers carried. and
one passenger injured to every 220,0a4
passengers carried. The rate of mortality
in England for the year 1883 is one pas.
senger killed for every 6,932, 336 carried,
and one passenger injured for every 527,
577~ carried. This discrepancy may, per
haps, be explained by the fact that the
number Of miles travelled per ticket is in
this country much greater than in England
OF employees in the United States 81.
have been killed and 20,02S injured during
the year. These figures show that one
death occurs for every 357 employees an6
one injury tor every thirty five employees
Or if similar statement be made for train
men, that is to say for engineers, firemen
conductors and other trainmen, one dealt
occurs for every III employees and one in
jury for every twelve men employed.

The Rio Grande Western in the South.

That the Rio Grande Western will soon
make its entrance into Sanpete is now an
assured fact. The city council OF Mt.
Pleasant were called together in special
session lately to consider the proposition of
carrying into effect their previous promise
of giving right of way and depot grounds
to the company. Mr.. landlord, who repre-
sented the company, stated that it mea"t
business, that it was no paper railroad, ard
that the contractors only had two months
to have the grade finished into Manti, and
were now waiting for right of way. Mt
Pleasant had offered free right of way, pro-
vided that the company would run their
line along the lower street of the city.
While this could not conveniently be done,
yet they would do the best they could, and
run few rods below said street. TIE
depot would be built at the west edge of
town.
After some further discussion the follow
ing resolution was passed by the council:
Resolved, That it be the sense of the
council, as repre- sentatives of this city. that
they favorably regard the survey now being
made by the company, and that they are
willing to meet the promise already made
5000 and depot grounds
This over, MIR. landlord assured the
council that it would not be long before
dust would fly.

Denver and Rio Grande Movements.

1t is reported upon what we consider very
reliable authority that the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad company will Immediately
make Minturn the end of freight and pas
senger divisions. This appears very plaus-
ible upon its face from the fact that when
the through line is completed there will
have to be two divisions between Salida
and Grand Junction, and Minturn is about
midway. Rumor has it that round house,
with from eighteen to thirty stalls for
engines, will be erected and also that ma
chine shops will be built. A large hotel
will be put up by the company so that it
can be made an eating station. A large
number of men are already employed in
grading up the company's property for the
laying of extensive side trackage. Rad

Personal and General.

Mr.. Eccles, of the Union Pacific, is al
home again.
The New York Central has within the
past few years been investing in heavy en-
gines. both for passenger and freight
service. Some of the new passenger en-
gines are of enormous size, and nearly all OF
the new freight engines are either Moguls
or ten-wheelers. Heretofore the company
has favored the four wheeled connected OF
the American type. Now they have de-
cided TO sell all of the old engines which
have cylinders of less size than 17x22 and
replace them with large engines. At East
Buffalo haff dozen engines are now
awaiting disposal.

THE SURVIVAL OF THE FIITESI
Vast Fortunes Are Squanasred

annually in endeavors to force new proprie-
tary medicines into popularity, but not one
in hundred wins the public confidence. In
fact, only those that possess real merit are
at all likely to do so. The best evidence
that proprietary medicine deserves sue
cess is in IT'S creation OF a demand for it
through personal recommendations beyond
the field in which it is in any public way
advertised. A signal illustration of this is
afforded by the history of DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy. This medicine
was for long time prescribed by tho prac-
titioner whose name it bears with such
signal success that it became famous in the
river counties of New York state, whence
its repute spread to adjoining states, and
eventually people got to sending for it from
all parts Of the country, even before its
discoverer had thought of putting up as a
proprietary medicine, or, of course, adver-
Using it. Now it is the most popular med
icine in the country for the cure of all blood
disorders, and is justly deemed spscifi.
for even the worst forms of kidney disease.

A RIPE OLD AGE.

j. H Holcomb and wife, of Belcherville
Texas have celebrated their fifty fin
wedding anniversary, and are still hale and
hearty. The secret of their long life and
good health is that they correct any Sigh,
ailment promptly, and in that way avoid
serious sickness. Like most everyone
else, they are more frequently troubled
with constipation than any other physical
disorder. To correct this they take St
Patrick's Pills in preference to any other
because, as Mr.. Holcomb says, "They are
a mild pill ana, besides. keep the whole
system in good order. We prize them very

roof. dripping with moisture. would not
permit him to stand upright. He crept
on into the long black vault, half oent,
peeTSag from side to side, the mellow
gleam of his lantern flinging fantastic
shadows; but nothing met his eyes cx-
cept the green patches Of mold that
fu1Ted the walls and the black, fitting
shapes like gigantic bats that moved
before him.
His breath failed him as he moved.
Surely, his hand was upon the treasure
nowl 1t had cost him dear. 1t was
strange that in this final moment Of sue
cess he should remember, as never be-
fore, what it had cost him.
He turned over heap after heap with
his staff, but they appeared to be de-
cayed stuffs ard clothes, and crumbled
at his touch into dust. The darkness,
which his light duly broke, closed be-
hind him; he was shut III by it; thick,
damp, i'll smelling night; the horror of
it came upon hin--the horror Of dark
ness and cold. There was no joyful,
brave beating of his heart, no cry with
which the young man halls his victory
So worn cut was he, SO dead was every
nerve which would have thrilled with
triumph.
The ground grew Doggy under his
feet, the bricks having sunk into bed
of slime. He CROPPED on his way The
tunnel widened into narrow room, a
stone ledge ran about it, half way to
the roof. There was blackened heap
upon the ledge, overgrown with brown
and blood colored fungus. Heath put
down his lantern, his hands trembling
tore of the damp vegetable matter and
found a copper case, with a lid screwed
on tightly. There were some black
letters on it, which he spelled out
slowly:

HOW THE OFFICE HAS GROWN.
When she assumed control Vle Office
was of the third class and paid sal
airy of S., 900, a considerable portion
of which was consumed by rent and
clerk hire BY strict attention to duty
and fortunate combinations of cir
cumstances, she increased the volume
of business transacted, until July,
1887, free delivery was instituted in
East Orange and the three offices of
the town combined into one under
her direction.
Since then she has SO improved the
showing of her office that the salary
has grown from 81, 100 to So, 900. She
has expended a large amount from
her personal income TO make the place
more convenient and attractive, and
has placed the affairs of the Office in
an unusually systematic condition.
Her friends claim that, in considera-
ton of her extraordinary efforts she
should be allowed to remain until
next autumn A petition in her
favor numerously signed has been
carried to Washington, it is said, by
a Republican. That her cause will
prevail against so much hungry mas
culine opposition is extremely doubt
full, of course, but still not hopeless.
However, the business is concluded,
there will be many aching voids"
