A DENVER OPINION.

A gentleman writing from Denver to
a friend in this city, makes use of the
following language:
There is no use talking; we are not
in it with Salt Lake. We have been
over-boomed; our banks have failed; our
politics have gone to the dogs; our town
is filled with vacant houses, and on
every side there are undeniable evil
denees that it will take US years to re-
cover from the setback we have had.
On the other hand, Salt Lake has a
good credit, has no bad history, has
not been over-boomed, has large pop
ulation, splendid resources, great in
herent wealth, and is just entering
through the portals of statehood You
are going to have a wonderful growth
over there; everybody says so, and
everybody wants to go. sincerely be-
lieve that investment in your real es-
tate now Will return large profit"
This is a most significant letter, and
it is such letters as these that fill us
with hope 1t is because we believe
that the predictions of this writer will
be realized that we are urging invest
ment in Popperton Place. OF course,
great changes do not occur suddenly;
extremes are approached with modera-
ton. The signs are numerous that
there is to be an early revival in our
real estate interests, and people who
buy lots Of US will never regret il.

Second vfce-President and General
OFF AT SACRAMENTO.
Strikers Surrender and Unconditfon.
nIIv

Sacramento. Cal, July 1.-The medi-
alton committee of the American Rail-
way union held a meeting this evening
and unanimously voted to declare the
strike off Internationally.
They sent short notice to that eff
feet to Superintendent Fillmore. The
military will probably remain two or
three days yet, to look after a few
hot heads who have been intimidating
workmen.
AS superintendent Fillmore has al
ready declared that he will not treat
with the strikers, and that no one will
be discharged to make room for them,
the outlook for the A. r. q. men is
not promising.
The railroad company claims to have
enough men already to conduct it's
business. and probably many of the
strikers will not get back.
Just what effect this unconditional
surrender will have on other parts of
the state is not known, as the news
has not yet been received by other
lodges of the A. r. U.
In Oakland. there is every prospect
that the strikers will weaken now that
their stronghold at Sacramento is
gone.
When Oakland gives up the fight as
it Will probably do within the next
twenty-four hours the strike in Cali
fornia will be a thing of the past.
The action of the strikers in Sacra-
mento was brought about by a COM
mittee of citizens. who showed them
that their cause was now hopeless and
persuaded the men to try to get back
while there was yet a chance.

TO THE PUBLIC.

For over two years we have practiced
medicine in Salt Lake city. During all
that time we have, from our method of
advertising and business, been subjected
to the closest scrutiny. The envious have
watched us as well as our friends
Today not one word of calumny-not a
breath of suspicion attaches to our pro-
fessional social or business reputation as
a firm of individuals.
We are proud of this. We are proud to
deserve and to have the confidence of the
people of Salt Lake city.
Having this confidence. and desery-
ing 1T, enables us today to announce
to people of Salt Lake and Territory
that we Will hereafter accept and
treat all durable cases of diseases
at the rate of So per month-Medi-
cine furnished-and refund the
money at the expiration of thirty
days if yOu are dissatisfied.
This is a favorable season of the year
for treating catarrh and diseases of the
head, throat, lungs and stomach, and we
are determined to give every citizen of
Salt Lake and vicinity an opportunity to
avail themselves of it and to secure re-
lief from durable diseases.
We wish to reach every sufferer, and
this is our method to do so. We have
confidence in our skill and are willing to
take all the chances. We wish to show
you that we have confidence in ourselves;
in fact, show something FOR THE

Atchison Juggling in the Matter of
Rebates.
New York, July 21-The World. will
say tomorrow:
The meeting of the Atchison. Topeka
& Santa Fe reorganization committee
on Friday, developed an astounding
surprise.
It had been expected that Expert
Little would make his financial report.
which would about agree with the com
mitteee's estimates, and then the re-
organization plan could be put forth
complete in every detail.
Mr.. Little, however, did not make his
report. Instead he said that while
examining the books he found evidence
of figurehead juggling in the matter
amount was very large, and instead of
being charged to the proper expense
account had been shifted to other
channels, so the statements of income
and the earnings were incorrect An
explanation was Immediately demanded
and the fact ELECTED that two sets of
books were kept, one in the west and
one in the east Mr. Little had evil
IDENTIFY examined the western books
Where it was necessary the charges
were properly made on the eastern
books, on which the public statements
were based.
Upon receiving this reply Mr.. Little
was ordered to look int IL e eastern
books He hastily ran ever them and
late last evening the guarded statement
was made by Secretary Kobb, of the
re-organized committee:
"The secretary Of the Atchison re-
organization committee makes the fol-
lowing statement in behalf OF the COM
aaittee:
MIR. Little has returned. He has had
every opportunity to examine the books
of the company and of the receivers.
He has not been able to complete his re-
port. but he states that during the
period from July 1889, the date of the
last reorganization, to December, 1893,
the date OF the appointment of the re-
ceivers, the income of the company has,
in his opinion been overestimated on an
aggregate amounting to about $1,000. 000
He finds the accounts of the receivers
have in all respects been accurately
stated.

To EAST BENCHERs.

Why don't some Of the east bench
people buy a little ink and space to
corroborate what we have been saying
about the unusual advantages it offers
in the way of health, and about the
rare beauty Of it's situation, about the
view from there, and about the cool,
summer breezes which constantly con-
tribute to the comfort Of the people up
there. There is not single resident
on the east bench who could be in
duced to move down in the city, be-
cause he knows he w ,uld surrender
advantages which he could not supply
in any other location. Popperton Place
is situated on the east bench, and has
its full share Of the blessings which
nature has seen fit to confer upon the
eastern portion of the city
