Since our last issue Kansas has been
making history rapidly. On February
18th an attempt was made to arrest Ben
@. Rich for the purpose OF bringing set
Element before the courts. The attempt
was resisted The populists then under
took to lock the republicans members
from the Legislative hall. On the morn
ing of the 18th the republican members
proceeded in body and overpowering
the populists battered the doors down
with sledge hammers and then barriead-
ed the doors to keep the populists cut
The populists retaliated by shutting off
the steam by which the hall was heated
and by refusing to allow anybody to
bring them provisions. The republicans
telegraphed to neighboring towns for as
sistance and the governor ordered the
sheriff to assist in restoring peace, but
the sheriff refused. The governor then
ordered out the militia and they took
possession of the capital grounds. This
was the situation on the evening of the
10Th. Up to the hour of going to press
on Friday, there has been no material
change in the situation. That some sort
of adjustment of the difficulty may be
made is the sincere wish of all.

The TranscontinentaI Fight.


The Railway Gazette, in speaking of
the situation, says that there is no
change in the transcontinental passen-
ger situation. Western lines are power
less to settle it until the Southern
Pacific and Canadian Pacific adjust
their differences The latter company
is forcing the fighting by continued
reductions in westbound rates from
st. Paul via Victoria to San Fran
cisco. On November Il a round trip
rate of $65 was made from St. Paul
and $50 first-class and $23 second-class
one way. These rates added to the
locals from Chicago to st. Paul make
rates of $41.50 first-class and $500
second-class, as against 5000 and $47.-
30 via the direct lines. None of the
direct lines have as yet met the re-
duced rates and they say that they
will not, claiming that travel will fol-
low the direct lines rather than so
around by Victoria and steamer. 1t is
obvious however. that the Canadian
Pacific intends to keep on cutting until
a point is reached where the financial
inducements will draw the travel that
way, and the indications are that un-
less the Southern Pacific soon accedes
to the demand of the Canadian Pacific
to let it sell tickets to San Francisco
via the Shast route a general de-
morallzation will ensue.

FOR SWEET CHARITY.
A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT AT MRS
BROWNS HOUSE YESTERDAY.
Ladies Play Cards and Aid the Good

Charity Ball.

a novel and clever idea that origin
ated in the mind of one OF Salt Lake
city's leading society ladies, as we'll as
an active worker in several charitable
organizations, was carried out yester-
day afternoon when about sixty ladies
met at the home of Mrs. Arthur Brown
to play cards for charity's sake. Not
for stakes, however They chose a
more orthodox method.
According to the original plan GER
tain number of ladies was made res
ponsible for the card tables, each being
expected to furnish three players be-
side herself or be responsible for 81,
the amount to be contributed by four
players. each guest being expected to
pay % cents. Fifteen tables were
filled yesterday afternoon from 2
o'clock to o'clock and sixty ladies
had the satisfaction of knowing that
besides spending q. pleasant afternoon
each had contributed her mite to a
worthy cause. Beside the SIS realizeN
thus, enough was contributed by those
who failed to make up their tables, and
those who declined the change to
aggregate $40

first of a series, the next to be given
by Mrs Elias Smith at the home of
her mother, Mrs. Weller, next Wednes-
day afternoon There will be no prizes
given, and TO refreshments served. at
these parties. The proceeds will be
used for coal for the poor.

A CHARITY BALL.
1t Will Be Given at the Theatre
Soon.

Soon.
But the greatest of these is charity"
So thought fourteen representative
ladies who met yesterday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. M. C. Fox to consider
what should be done to further aid the
poor of this city.
No particular sect was represented.
1t was simply an expression of a desire
to help the cause of charity at this
time of great need, and it is a notable
fact that most if not all of the ladies
present are members of benevolent as
sociations.
After considerable discussion as to
ways and means, it was decided to
give charity ball at the theatre on
Thursday, the 18th inst, tickets for adj
mission being at regular theatre rates,
81, an extra charge being made for
supper.
Mrs. M. c. Fox was elected president
of the temporary organization, which
of course will have frequent meetings
to arrange the details of the ball; Mrs.
Wright, vice-president, and Mrs. w. 5.
Mccormick, secretary and treasurer.

Attention was attracted by the propo-
sition that has been sprung lately look
ing to the severing of the Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern railway and
the part of the line leased by the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company,
from the main line of the Union Pa
cific and many and various are the
comments made on the movement
The severance Of the Union Pacific,
Denver and Gulf by the decision of
Judge Hallett of Denver, has opened
the eyes of some of the interested par
ties in Salt Lake.
The lines acquired by the Union Pa
cific system under the lease OF the
Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern
extend from Salt Lake south to Frisco,
west to Stockton, north to Silver Bow,
Mon, taking in the line to Ogden,
thence to McCammon, Idaho, and on
north. The branches to Tintic and
Logan, as well as that from Weber to
Park City and the part of the main
| line running from Cheyenne, Wyo., to
Huntington, Oregon, are also included,
the lines having about 1900 miles OF
| trackage that drains a tributary coun-
| try unbounded in richness, whose
varied products should flow into Salt
Lake. For this region Salt Lake is
the natural point of distribution. But
while the system is controlled by the
heads of the Union Pacific at Omaha
no local rights of Salt Lake city will
receive recognition. The whole line
has been run for the purpose of bene-
fitting the Union Pacific main line as a
feeder and the claims of all contiguous
territory have been studiously avoided
whenever they have confiicted with the
interests of the fasteners who have
been in control.
The line naturally belongs to Salt
Lake and the capitalists of this region
should dictate it's policy. A severance
would result in the complete independ
ence of this line. as it could come
down to Ogden from the north with
freight from the SeacoaSt towns and
dictate reasonable terms to the lines
which would compete for its business.
Then reasonable rates could be made
on the local business. This measure
would result very beneficially to our
merchants who are now laboring under
the disadvantage of high rates. Then
there are manufactures here which are
beginning to extend their markets be-
lyond the borders of the territory. They
could compete more successfully with
the outside producers if some arrange
ment more beneficial to them could be
made
If the government assumes control
of the Union Pacific system, then the
territory need look for no sympathy
from the fasteners who will be put
lin charge OF affairs. The part that
belongs to the men of Utah will be
used to help bear up, as much as pos
sible, the load of debt that is to be
cast upon the system if such a con-
summation should be brought about.
The applying for d separate receiver
would make q, great stir and in case
the applicants should prove successful,
there would be a reorganization of the
