county selectmen to reduce the al
lowance for feeding prisoners in the
county Jail from Is cents to 10 cents
a meal seems i'll advised and shows
that the selectmen know very little
about the matter. The average num-
Der of prisoners in the county Jail is
fifteen, and everybody knows that fif-
teen people ann be fed as cheaply
per capita as seventy-fve, the average
number fed daily at the city Jail.
The help in the culinary department
at the county Jail costs $40 a month,
coal SO, making $50, besides the cost
of the provisions. The last two
months have shown a loss to the sher-
if on this account, and thai officer
says he will be very glad if the select
men will take the contract off his
hands.
In Butte, so cents per day per head
is paid for three meals. In Evanston,
so cents per day for two meals. In
San Francisco, where the number fed
is large, the rate is so cents per head
per day. In Omaha, where the num-
Der is also large, it is So cents and
% cents for a bread and water diet.
From these figures and facts. it
would seem that the rate in Salt Lake
is not exorbitant.

burlington People Disturbed Over
the Situation.

Omaha, June 12.-For a long time
past the Union Pacific has desired TO
equalize the westbound Utah and
Montana rates, but the Short Line
contention has prevented. Now that
THIS matter is settled, the Union Pa
chic decided to ~revolutionize the Utah
and has prepared tariffs to
go into effect June Is. The idea is to
reduce h rates from the Missouri
river to Utah common points on the
ten classes ana upon ~westbound COM
modit1eS to the rates in effect from
he Missouri river to Montana com
mon points, with present rates from
the Missouri river to Utah as a
maximum. There is no intention to
advance any rates at present lower
to Utah than to Montana. The ten
classes from the Missouri river to
Utah are: First, $3.50; second, s2.15;
third, S1.75; fourth, S1.45; fifth, SIPS;
A, S1.10; B, 90; c. 81; D, 70; E, 81.
While rates from the Missouri river
to Montana common points are: First.
S1.S5; second, $40; third, $3.50; fourth.
$1.4O; fifth. S1.20; "A, $1.1O; B, 80; C, so:
=, 20; E, SO.
This equalization means much for
Salt Lake and Ogden, but will play
havoc with present tariffs, necessitat-
ing changes in at least half a dozen
tariffs.
The Burlington people are much dis
turbed Over the situation, but declare
they will meet the cut As an instance
of what the decrease will amount to.
the saving on a 40 OG-pound a of
glucose amounts t $3.50.

of the supervisor it is stated that Bever-
edge is mistaken, but he insists that no
is right and will contest the payment of
the balance claimed to be due.
Emma DAZZLING, who has been arrested
and, xamined several times on account
OF insanity, was again taken in by the
police yesterday and turned over to the
sheriff. There is something peculiar about
a commotion, but when the physicians get
hold of her she appears to be perfectly
sane. Sheriff Hardy said last night that
had he known 1t was her he would not
have taken her into his care.

CANNOT AGREE.
Railway People With Ideas Very
Wide Apart.

Wide Apart.
Chicago, June 1.-THE committee of
the Western Passenger Lines, which
report, and it is suggested that the
lines go ahead n form an associa-
ton to the territory east Of the
river and ignore that to the west.
This plan was upset by Passenger
Traffic Manager White, of the Atchi-
son, who showed tina it was the
meaning of the executive officers when
they called the meeting hat the ter
ritory between Chicago and Utah be
under two associations.
Then General Passenger Agent Sc
b~astian, of the Rock Island, announced
that under present circumstances it
would be found difficult to form any
agreement and impossible to maintain
rates.
"A resolution was offered in this
meeting yesterday by the Burlington
road" said Mr.. Sebastian. providing
for the maintenance of rates by all
western lines. 1 have here the return
portion of a harvest excursion ticket
which was on sale by scalpers in
Kansas City before the ticket itself
had any right to be sold in Chicago.
Under such circumstances talk OF
maintaining rates is somewhat humor-
ous."
Then Mr.. Sebastian showed the re-
turn portion Of a harvest excursion
ticket issued by n of the leading
western lines.
Mr.. Payne, Of the Missouri Pacific.
made a speech of similar import and
laid down similar portion of tickets Of
the issue of another line. Both the &C
eused lines denied stoutly thai they
had been guilty of irregular practices.
and while they were telling how 1t
happened the meeting adjourned.
The committee on agreement was en-
!arged and will report tomorrow morn
ing.
