KING SOLOMON's NOTION
That There Is nothing now under the
sun" does not always convey the truth.
Especially is this true as regards the
new composite cars now operated
daily via tho Chicago. Union Pacific
and Northwestern line between Salt
Lake City and Chicago.
The handsome buffet smoking and
library can are entirely now through
out, of latest design, containing all
modern improvements, and r we'll
supplied with writing material, the
leading daily papers. illustrated peri
odicals, magazines, etc.
The fact that these cart run daily via
''The Overland Limited" and that the
Union Pacific was the line west Of Chi
cago to inaugurats this service should
itself to all.
See that your tickets read via The
Routa."

KILLED R HORSES.

On complaint Of John Alsop, a war
ant charging Terrence Fee with kill
ing three horses was issued by Justice
Fitch yesterday and served by Con-
stable Hiskey. Mr.. Fee came to the
city today and is ready for trial. He
does not deny that he killed the horses
but says that he killed them with the
fun permission OF Mr.. Alsop. He says
they were scrub stations running on
the range to the detriment of every
ranchman who takes a pride in breed
ing good horses; that he told Mr.. Alsop
OF them and the latter told him to kill
them, which he did on about the Sth
day OF June. The value Of the horses
is fixed in the complaint at IS each.

The happiest man in town yesterday
was Agent Barney of the Rio Grande.
He was not only pleased with himself
but everything else and all because he
had succeeded in hoodwinking the I'm
ion Pacific Jut of a good one-third of
its North park cattle shipments for the
summer.
There were in the park a few days
ago something like $500 head or in
other words about $50 carloads Of cat
tie for summer shipments. all Of which
properly belongs to the Union Pacific
or at least hat road was under the
impression that they did until it found
out the reverse.
A few days ago Agent Barney came
to the park. Just prior to his arrival
the Union Pacific sent out notices to
local shippers of a raise in rates and
consequently when the Rio Grande
man met them and solicited their bust
ness they were quite ready to give his
rOad a trial. In short, che result of
Agent Barney's visit to the park cattle
men was that they contracted to ship
over his road 1000 head of stock
amounting to SO carloads. Included
among his patrons were Stockra,sers
Peterson, Norrell, Johnson, Trounsell,
Gedney, Mari and Monte Blevins. all of
whom have been in the habit of driv-
ing in and shipping at this point.
As soon as the Union Pacific became
aware of the fact thai the Rio Grande
people were liable to get away with
the baggage, an immediate II big
reduction in the rates of transporta-
ton went into effect. as already re-
ported in The Republican. but too late
to head off the Rio Grande people. AS
the rates now stand the charges of the
Union Pacific on a car of stock to Oma-
ha are SLIP. while those of the oppo-
si,ion road are 81 or Sc higher. By
making the slash the Union Pacific
hopes to bring back the business
which it has been gradually losing.
Park ranchmen say that the drive to
Wolcott station, the nearest point on
the Rio Grande, is only 10 miles. while
they are obliged to come 90 miles II
shipments are made at Laramie. An
other inducement made by the Rio
Grande is a fast run to market
Should North park ranchmen con-
tinuc to ship over the Rio Grande the
loss to Laramie will be a material n
as when trailing this way the North
park men have been in the habit OF
loading up with supplies at this point
before returning home. 1t is under
stood that Wolcott now boasts Of a big
supply store and when North park
ranchmen drive to that point they out
fit there before leaving and thus the
trade which l~egitimately belongs to
Laramie is lost to us.

PETERSBURG NEWS NOTES.
The CITY Sergeant and the Collector
of DeIipauent Taxes.


PETERSBURG. July 17.-(Special.)- AT a
meeting Of the Committee on Courts OF
Justice Of the Common Council, held to-
day. two matters OF interest referred by
tie Council for report were considered.
These matters were In the line OF re-
trenchnent. to which the Council has
committed itself, and embraced reduc-
ton In the Offices Of the City Sergeant and
the Collector Of Delnouent-Taxes. In
respect 10 the Sergeants Office, the com
mittce decided that the Council has no
Jurisdiction, and that this was a matter
for the action Of the courts. The City
Sergeant has two deputies and jailer
under him. The deputies are paid 500
each by the city. and 500 and $50 per
annum. respectively. by the Sergeant out
OF the receipts Of his Office. The pay OF
the jailer also comes out of the Ser
geant's pocket. In this connection II may
be stated that the pay OF the Sergeant
for the month OF July was only $40.
In the matter of the Delinquent City
Tax-Conector. the committee decided to
recommend that no reduction Of commits
sions be made.
POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.
There will be very little "bolting" from
the Chicago nominees by Democrats I'm
Petersburg, and practically none In the
counties in this congressional district.
The actual loss to the Democratic ticket
by boiling" will be far more than made
up by the accessions of free-sllver Re
publicans, and there are many Of these
who will vote the Democratic national
ticket.
There are still two Republican candi-
dates for Congress in this district--Mr.
Charles Gee and Mr.. =. It. Thorp-both
claiming to have been regularly nominat-
ed by the Farmville convention. and both
determined to fight 1t out to the end.
Mr. Gee stands squarely on the ST. Louis
platform for a gold standard; Mr.. Thorp
IS in favor Of free silver. The matter
VIII be brought before the Republican
National Committee, and II is believed
by many that Mr.. Gee will get the en-
do.sement and influence OF the commit
tee There are many gold Republicans
in the district who would not vote for
Thorp under any circumstances The ne
groes. who do not care n straw as be-
tween gold and silver. will support
Thorp.
