Re..onable Dress.

II has been said that a woman's
dress not only typifies her subject con-
dition, but characterizes her individu-
alism as we'll Allowing this to be
true and accepting it from tho philo-
sophical standpoint, we are forced to
believe that individualism must oft
times blush at her own caprices-at her
own tickle, frivolous and imperfect
portrayals, as she drags herself from
one extreme to another, offering at
each evolution some absurd and con-
Trajectory pretense. IT'S an age OF pro-
preston; tbs an age when intelligence
should proceed and prevail over vanity,
when women should possess the out
ward appearance of at least reasonable
beings, But clad in the manner which
extremists of fashion claim we should
be clad, with sleeves like the wings OF
angels and trains like the tail OF
kite. with hats bedecked with the
| stuffed bodies and wings of slaugh.
tered song birds, and No. s feet jammed
into No 3 needle-toed shoes, is it
wonder that individualism would fee
a little cramped, and at times blush .,
her own caprices?-Womankind.

Wants to BE a Brakeman.

Now comes Lieutenant Charles D.
Hine, of the Sixth Infantry, who has
resigned from the army to be a freight
brakeman on the big Four railroad,
with the understanding that promo
ton shall ensure if his services prove
meritorious. He is a graduate of West
Point, class 81, and it is safe to pre-
dict that if he escapes injury for a
time, he will be promoted. He will
continue to go up, while many bright
and able railroad men will stand still
in their old tracks, though particularly
fitted for such a dangerous sphere.
However the young aspirant for the
onerous and dangerous life of a brake
man must needs have a care, else he
will have a corner taken off some
time when not in to clear.

depression of the previous two years,
when freight earnings had fallen off
with the decline of numerous indus
tries, and the situation, with respect
to passenger traffic, was relieved only
by the exceptional movement of
Worlds Fair travel These existing
conditions were soon aggravated by
the formidable labor strike, which orig
mated at the Pullman car shops, and.
in spreading, involved the company's
lines in common with other roads at
Chicago and throughout the west, to
the interruption of communication
trade and travel, with corresponding
loss of revenue.
This disturbance was followed by
the unparalleled and almost complete
failure of the crops in Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota, and by less general
failure in other regions served by the
company's system of roads, and the
immense volume of tonnage dependent
upon the movement of agricultural
products, and the consequent prosper
ity attending the same, were lost to
the years business, and the result is
shown in the unusual decline of re-
ceipts, both in freight and passenger
earnings.
Notwithstanding the larger curtail-
ment of expenditures in all depart
ments, as compared with former recent
years, made necessary by the serious
falling off in tonnage movement and
passengers, the amount of material
and labor expended has been sufficient
to maintain the property in good con-
ditiOn.
1t is gratifying to add that at the
time of the issuing of this report the
prospects of q fine harvest are good,
and a recovery from the unfavorable

chicneo & Northwestern Report.

President Marvin Hughitt, of the
Chicago & Northwestern, is out with
the thirty-sixth annual report for that
great property, and an interesting ex-
tract from it runs as follows:
The company owns 1,O1O locomotives.
and the total car equipment consists
of 36,23S cars. The total sales in the
land department amounted to Is, 755
acres and 467 lots, and the receipts
therefrom were $751; 76. The average
price PAD for land in Minnesota was
S1015 per acre; 1897 in Michigan; $3.50
in Wisconsin, and S1.97 on the Ashland
division.
During the year the total amount
paid in wages to engineers and fire
men was 81 ,904, 937; to freight conduc-
tors, $4S7,61S; 20 freight brakemen,
$673. S66; to passenger brakemen, $685.
172, and to dispatchers and engine
wipers, $266,2S2.
The net earnings were sufficient to
pay a per cent dividend on the pre-
ferred stock, with the additional sum
of S273, $50, taken from the undivided
surplus of previous years, and per
cent upon the common stock, the total
amount paid in dividends being So
125, $40. The total miles of road oper-
ated by this company is 5000. In clos
ing the report, President Marvin Hugh
lit says:

port was marked by series of ad-
verse circumstances. which greatly re-

clay with a pointed instrument Such
were the manuscripts of the Babylon
ians and Assyrians. The Egyptian
hieroglyphics were made indellible on
papyrs. Upon this was written the
Book of Abraham. which was trans
lated by the modern seer.
The Book of Mormon was inscribed
upon plates of solid gold. The investi-
gator will be assisted by remembering
that the book is a compilation or
abridgement from other records, made
by the prophet Mormon.
Ancient men of God. the book
teaches, came over to this continent
They brought with them many
precious records. After arriving here
they recorded on separate plates until
a late century their secular and eccleS-
iastical history.
The Latter-day Saints believe that a
record of the Lords people here should
be as valuable as a history of those
living in other lands. Just before his
final ascension, Christ told his Saints
that he had other sheep which were
not of that fold and That them he
must bring. The Redeener was the
universal Savior of all mankind He
died as a ransom for all and his saving
grace extended equally to the inhabi-
tants upon this land.
Just before a war of determination
among the people on this continent the
prophet Mormon was moved upon to
abridge the records of his forefathers.
Having accomplished this, he handed
the precious charge to his son Moroni,
who laid them away in the hill
Cumorah, to be unearthed after the
lapse of many centuries.
Christ appeared after his ascension
upon this land. The doctrines in
each book or stick exactly
correspond. The sermon on the
mount is almost identical with the
Biblical rendition. He called upon the
people to bring their halt and blind

inhrm, whom he healed of their

and infirm, whom he healed of their
infirmities.
While ministering on this land, he
made an expression of joy which was
somewhat remarkable. Biblical
scholars say that such was Christ's
sorrow while in Judea that he was
never seen to smile. While in this land,
however, at the time when many had
been healed of their Affections, he said
his joy was full.
Many antiquities attest the divine
truth of the book of Joseph. The first
colony who arrived in America came at
the time of the confusion of languages
at Babel. Afterwards they developed
into an influential aud mighty people.
IN the reign of King Jedekiah in Ju-
dea, the Lord, in his providence, raised
up Lehi, a great prophet in Jerusalem,
and after long journey, full of
strange experiences, he arrived with
his family upon this blessed land
Commencing as a little OandE th,ey
became a great nation. War and con-
tention soon began, and as a curse for
evil deeds, the red skin was placed
upon them. Yet they are told that they
are Josephs sons and a destiny full
of promise is before them.
The Book of Mormon perfectly full
fills these ancient prophesies. Why
should not the record be believed? It's
translation was effected through in
Spiration and is entirely without in
terpOlation or error
Many of the Lords promises are be-
ing verified. Paul said that in the
last day all things in heaven and
earth should be gathered together in
one. Isaiah and jeremiah prophet
cally foretold that Israel should be
gathered from the four winds and
from every nation. This prophecy is
even now being remarkably fulfilled.
God will bring to pass the dream of
Joseph in Egypt, in which was mani
tested the time when he should rule
over his brethren. This land is to be
the Lords threshing floor.
The Latter-day Saints have, besides
the Bible, the guide of revelation and
this later work. With this res
toration of truth came also the
bestowal of Gods holy priest
hood. John the Baptist and other
holy men of old administered to Gods
servants in this day the authority
they possessed while ministering in
the flesh The faith of the Latter
days Saints does not come through
misty past. Their faith is based upon
Gods revelation and is strengthened
by innumerable evidences of his
divine favor. The Saints should be
types to the world of charity, hon
esty and long-Suffering and in this
way be prepared for the day when
we shall see as we are seen and know
as we are known.

The Burlington will, on August Is,
close up its Butte office, and Fred A.
Sears, the present agent, will be sent
to some other point.
The Butte people are at a loss to
know the cause of this action, as the
Burlington got a large percentage of
business in that section. Il may turn
out to be the case that our Dick

prove the Butte office a useless APP

From this it viii be seen that Salt
Lake as against Denver has 1914 miles
the shorter haul to Grand Junction, a
town that should largely come within
the circle of trade allotted to Salt Lake
jobbers.
To Delta, a f1ourishing little town,
Salt Lake has thirty-One miles the
best on haul and should be also classed
in with Grand Junction.
On Aspen business Denver has but
fourteen miles less to her credit. On
GlenwoOd Springs fourteen miles and
on MOntrose eleven miles, and it would
seem that a distance of eleven or four
teen miles could readily be abridged
so TAR as 10 cut even on rates from
Denver and Salt Lake.

ton and viii no doubt be attended to

its merits.

turn we would be privileged to say
