/ EDITOR GLACIERI
J The east bound flyer was wrecked
near here few days ago 10y very
peculiar accident one Of the driver
axles broke where II enters the wheel
tipping the wheel under the engine,
The main rod plunged In the ground,
doubling up like jack knife, tearing
of the cylinder and literally stripping
one side of the engine, The engine,
mail, baggage and two coaches were
derailed but fortunately no one was
hurt. The popularity of the accident
is that the great steel axle eight inches
ih diameter had been gradually break
ing perhaps for years so that there was
only three inches square in the center
of the axle bearing the strain ut the
time it gave way.
Shoshone is ut the junction of the
Wood river branch and was once II
very lively place, having the division
and shops employing 100 men, but the
division has been moved and only Il
few hands are working at the old shops.
Twenty-Five miles out from here is
the great Shoshone falls, and one of
the wonders of America.
At some :time during the remote
past great river of fire ana lava burst
forth and coursed its way down across
the desert and while this great mass
was getting cool river of water came
down from the mountains and fought
for right of way across the bosom of
this lake Sf burning lava and melted
rock. This river we call the Snake
and as,we watch it coursing its serpen-
tine way down through broken aud
irregular masses of rock. We are sat
istied that it won the fight but that it
was an awful struggle. Roaring, foam
ing and fretting it goes on tunlbling
from ledge to ledge until in one mad
and desperate leap it plunges 2lO feet
lashing itself into mass of foam. 1t
is indeed a grand sight and as one
gaZes upon ii and the desert around he
can not help but wonder at the great
forces of nature in operation at the
time of its formation.
Not far below are the Blue lakes
taking their name from the color of
the water and the proprietor of one
of these has constructed IA road of
masonry winding down the steep de-
scent to the waters edge. Many
miles below we are told there is n cliff
rising from the river many feet high
from the face of which spouts thous-
and jets of water called the thousand
springs. 1t is not known from whence
this water comes but it is supposed to
be the outlet of Lost river or some
other subteranean stream and indi-
Gates fair probability of obtainining
artesian water which is very much
needed, for without water, South Idaho
is not worth elects square mile unless
some process can be discovered for re-
ducing sage brush and sand to valua-
ton. EQUALIZER.

The band boys are talking Of organi-
zing, and with u little encouragement
would probably do so. They need two
instruments and they need help to get
them. This they can easily get, pro-
vided they perfect a permanent organi-
zation. We suggest that they incOr-
porate, and then they will have no
trouble in making u success of the
band. Without something to hold
them together, neither the members
nor the public feel like doing anything
to put the band on good footing, but
the moment there is some perlnanency
to the organization, both will take an
interest in it and help it along.

jerry SImpson and Sam ZONES.

Sam Jones lectured at Wichita, las;
Wednesday night, and the Eagle was SO
stuck on his style" that il named him
1.-THE theological Jerry Simpson of
Georgia" We consider this as a com
|pIiment to Jerry, forced from the Eagle
at an unguarded moment. The Eagle
says:
"Sam Jones, the theological Jerry Simpson,
'of Georgia, lectured at the First Presbyterian
church last night at the rate OF a penny a sec1
'ond. In other words, every time he opened
his mouth almost q nickle dropped into his
Jeans pocket.
The CROWD was not large, but It was in har7
'mony with the Georgia gentlemans spirit, and
1t is doubtful whether any one present regret
ted his dollar. His subject was "Ohar-
|acter,' but he let the subject get away FROM
MIN after the first few sentences. His mind
went bushwhacking then and he never agaipI
returned to the subject till the closing sentenj
ices. After leaving Character" he launched
out into the deep and turbulent sea of prohibiI
|tton and thence into the ocean of politics ]
where he would anchor every few minutes tel
give not only the infdels but the Christians
hail Columbia" in his characteristic manner
His language consisted of about seven parts
slang, two parts plantation venacular, and oneI
part straight Queens English with q very
strong southern accent. His style of gestures
were also strictly southern.
He had not been speaking ten minutes when
Everybody in the house observed a striking
resemblance between his style of speaking andl
that style of oratory which characterizes the
|sockless statesmen of Medicine Lodge Rel
wore the same kind of smile; the same cute
remarks would escape his lips to tickle the
audience; his stories and those told by Jerry
were of the same parentage; he illustrated the
Inference between the two old parties i'm al
most the same words that Jerry Simpson hasi
worn threadbare, and his abuse of ''so-calledI
christians" bore very noticeable resemblance,
TO the language Jerry uses when roasting tn,
lold parties To sum the whole matter up, hei
liz to the pulpit what Jerry Simpson is to the
stump, with the exception, of course, that hei
has much higher regard for grammar thapi
Simpson has. He abused all the ministers irl

whom he paid very high, stereotyped trib
