Why has Miss Prince gone to Bostonf
Would you really like to knows
It is not exactly pleasure trip,
Though pleasant, we hope, as things 90.
It happens this way. Our many friends
Have been very kind Of late,
That II 1t be possible, so to do
We their kindness would compensate.
Our dress goods getting very low,
In trimmings want the newest things,
Buttons and frnges, gimps and Jets,
And any novelties this season brings.
As the days grow short and windy and cold,
People will need warmer nsnnels and hose
And our stock Is sadly In need Of more,
For this year we haven't bought those.
Our blankets too almost all gone
And our stock Of shawls IL small
Cotons and crashes and hannels and ticks,
Oh, yes, we needing them all
Ribbons and ruches too, and gloves,
Corsets and necktes, light and gay,
Spool cotton and silk, needles and pins,
And such things you use every day.
All these and very much more need,
And this we think good reason,
Why Miss Prince went to Boston herself, to select
New goods for friends this season.
Very truly,

The Denver News publishes the fol.
lowing special from Washington
1t is no longer secret that Senator
John P. Jones of Nevada has determined
to abandon the Republican party and at.
filiate with the Peoples party, About a
month ago, in conversing with gentle.
man from one Of the silver States, in the
presence OF Senator Stewart, he was told
that he thought it his duty to abandon
his old party and openly unite with the
Peoples party. Senator Jones said,
"You do right"
Will you also unite with the Peo-
Piles partys' was asked in reply. Tho
Senator said Il will"
The gentleman he was addressing then
asked him If have occasion to write
upon this subject, have your authority
to publicly say that you are a Populist
and no longer Republican ?"
To this. without amy hesitation, Sena.
tor Jones replied, "You may"
The reason for the abandonment Of
the Republican party by Senator Jones
is that he finds the party unchsngeably
allied with the single gold standard con.
spiracy OF Wall aud Lombard stlssts,
and he is convinced that the only hope
for bimetallism is in the third party.
This party he finds organized in the field
and winning victories. and he believes il
to be the duty OF all true silver men t.
support it, both at home and abroad.

something will be fairly satisfactory to
the friends of silver. The hopeless feel.
ing Of yesterday and the day before has
given place to a sentiment that compro.
mise is inevitable and that by Saturday
some action will be taken by the Senate
which will permit the transfer of the pre-
sent condition to the House and to reach
an agreement through conference. The
plan Of the minority is the very simple
one Of merely holding the Senate in
session if possible until a vote is had.
The silver men expect to make but one
attempt to adjourn and after that they
will themselves take the aggressive and
there will be no adjournment until a
quorum is broken. The plan Of battle
will be as follows: After o'clock but
few Of the silver men will remain in the
Senate chamber and those on guard will
hold the floor. refusing to yield to any
motion to adjourn or take recess until
the majority confess that they cannot
hold quorum and that the continuous
session is failure. Meanwhile they will
insist on the presence Of quorum every
minute of the time their speakers are
occupying the floor. By this means they
expect to enforce the inexorable decree
of the United States Senate that nothing
shall be done which does not please the
minority. Their snswer to the objec.
lions of the majority is, "What are you
going to do about it :"
Yesterday Senator Squires introduced
an amendment to the repeal bill provid.
ing for the coinage of two million silver
dollars per month. the government to
retain the seignorage. .....

THE NEVADA SOUTHERN.
Steps Taken to Complete the Road
to Los Angeles.

A dispatch from Los Angeles to the
San Francisco Examiner says that Col.
I. w. Brooks of Pomona, who is now at
the Keystone mine in Nevada, on the
proposed railroad between Los Angeles
and Salt Lake, writes that the compile
tion of the Nevada Southern Railway
between the two cities has been decided
upon. He says: "As an item of in
formation supporting the above state.
ment, and a pleasing reception of news
by the struggling miners and farmers of
North San Bernardino county, Califor.
mia, Southeast Nevada, and Southern
Utah, who have so long toiled under the
heretofore insurmountable difficulties of
wagon transportation at the cost of $50
to 500 per ton freightage, the following
facts may DO of interest
"At the present time Mr.. Derworth,
chief engineer of the Nevada Southern
Railroad company, accompanied by Mr..
Pitcaithey, an English gentleman who,
in the interest of an immense capital, is
reviewing the survey of the road from
Vanderbilt and Milford, the terminus or
nonnsotion with the Utah Southern Rail-
road company. Mr.. Pitcaithey's exam.
iaation is carefully made, that his com.
pany may intelligently bid on the bonds
of the road when offered and these who
are familiar with the enormous coal fields
and iron deposits and the large extent of
mineral and agricultural territories, have
no question in regard to Mr.. Pitcaithey q
favorable report to his company. The
party will 60 on over the whole route to
Salt Lake City.
Another indication Of work ON the
road is seen 10 the movement of Messrs.
Bright & Crandle, the well-known rail.
road contractors. They, in company with
their banker, have just passed over the
roads survey, and are making figures
preparatory to extending their contract
of grading.
IF. w. Cove, cashier OF the Needles
bank, was in the party and visited the
mines Of the Yellow Pine district, where
he was most favorably impressed with
the rich free gold and silver ores Of the
camp and its prospects of future great.
ness. The preliminary work is approach
ing a finish, and the time of important
and active work is at hand.
president Blake, Vice. President A.
G. Scofeld of San Francisco, and othel
officials Of the road, are expected to ar
rive daily. They come with an earnest
purpose Of prosecuting the work to thu
completion Of the road, the closing Of tn,
gap, when upon mdground Los Angeles
and Salt Lake may meet, shake hand
and give the countersign and grip Of |
happy people, blessed with railroad DOM

A dispatch from Denver to the Sal
