Pictured In the Dens Where Editors rad

Once upon time a wealthy proof
reader who possessed an entire box Of
matches was aecosted by an INDECENT
editor who wanted fire for his pipe and
possessed nothing but copy of the
''Light of Asia The proofreader thus
importuned declared he could give his
comrade no assistance, as his matches
were hard come by and he had nothing
but good, fat salary between himself
and heartless world. The editor de-
clared he was in the same fix, and the
proofreader ,relented and gave him one
neasly fugitive match with head on
it that was SO small it was only % PIN
pie.
"This MATCH" said the editor as he
struck it, :" which you have SO generous
ly donated to the relief of suffering hui
mainly has effected a marvellous revo.
luton in society fer SO small a thing. I
recollect my grandfather telling me Of
the trouble they used to have in obtain
ing lights in the old days-how he
would sit up in bed while grandma
would paddle around in her pretty bare
feet hunting the flint on cold winter
mornings, and how when she had found
it while she was knocking a spark out

CURED AFTER az YEARS.

Below we publish a letter from Mr..
Henry Jensen, postmaster of the pretty
little town of Mayficld, word for word
and letter for letter, as it was receievd
by Doctor Shores, with instructions to
hand It to the press. Mr.. Jensen is a
man the government of the United
States believes honest enough to ill a
responsible position Mr.. Jensen is a man
whom the people truSt-absoiutely incor-
ruptible and conscientious. Finding some
thing good himself he is anxious that all
the world shall know it. Read it very
carefully-you will be interested and i'm

method Of the man in his effort to aid

Mrs. Wray, residing at 291 South, Sew

Something over two years ago I took
my little boy, then aged nearly nine
years, to see Doctor G. W. Shores, to ask
his opinion and advice on the childs

time the little fellow had suffered terri

times the pain was so great that his
screams nearly crazed me, because I
could not help him He was deaf as a

to find something or somebody that would

phone message from Delmar just re-
ceived here saying that the passenger
train from Los Angeles due in this city
at 1910 has been wrecked near Delmar
and is now burning. 1t is thought
many passengers were injured but no
details yet.
There is no telegraph Office at Delmar
and UP to midnight it was impossible
to get any further information about
the wreck, by telephone. A special
train has gone from here to the scene
of the accident and will arrive there
about a. m. Pacific coast time.
Telephone message says the train at
Delmar went down a twelve foot en-
bankment and was. totally destroyed by
fire.
1t is reported that Conductor Kinney

A JOURNALISTIC FREAK.

The Salt Lake Tribune is known all
over the west as one of the ablest and
most persistent advocates of bfmetal-
Iism in the country. Its articles are
read by political friends and foes alike
with equal pleasure. 1t has given a
prodigious amount of time and labor
to most exhaustive discussion of all
phases of the financial question and
its effects upon the moral and financial
condition of the people. There is no
denying the fact that it has occupied
the position of chief educator of the
people within a radius of many hun
dreds of miles in extent, upon the sub
ject of silver as money and its relation
to the people. Thousands in Utah,
Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Nevada
read its silver articles and accord it
the praise justly its due. There is no
doubt that the knowledge thus dis
seminated has done a great deal of
good but not near the good it might
have done if the whole thing were not
marred by an inconsistency so glaring
as to challenge its sincerity in all this
multiplicity of declaration.
The Tribune is as well aware as any
one can be that the evils which aff1ict-
ed the country for twenty-five years
are contemporaneou with the rule CT
the Republican party. 1t knows that II
any one Of the political parties are
responsible for the destruction of our
silver money. it was the Republican
party. It knows that of all the parties
the Republican party has been the
most persistent in its determination to
keep silver down. It knows it has been
the arch enemy of silver and stands
today near unanimous in its advocacy
of the single gold standard. And while
the Tribune has for years declared
that the primary cause of our national
troubles were in the destruction of
half of our money, it continues to Of
fer aid and comfort and to contribute
to the growth and strength of that very
party whose continued life. strength
and success means the permanent and
unresurrected death of silver, and in
consequence, according to its oft re-
peated story, the continued woe of the
people.-Idaho Falls Times.

difficulties it was necessary to over
come. This statement contained an esti-
mate of the value of the properties re-
ceived in pay for the work at 60 cents
on the gold for each dollar. 1t was as
follows: SIS, 100000 in government bonds
on the basis of 60 cents in gold, $16,000,
600; 100000 San Francisco bonds, $780,
900; $10000,000 in land bonds, Sc 100000; $780,

He said the thirty acres of land on Mis-
souri, Bay had not been equal to the
value of the improvements on it, and
that the principal value of the Oakland
water front came from the Central Pa
cific improvements. He reverted to the
cost of construction over the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, told how coal had to
be brought from Australia and England,
how it was necessary to bring machin-
cry around Cape Horn, of the difficulty
of procuring water, and of protecting the
tracks against snow storms. In view OF
these facts, he thought anyone had
right to be able to see that the company
never would have been able to accom-
plish its work without good credit and
the exercise of the most rigid economy.
I'VE have" he said, done all this
work, and we have always paid our
bills, and we should continue to do so
even as to the great debt of the govern
ment, had it not given larger aid to con-
struct roads to the north and south CT
us that 1t did to the Union and Cenral
Pacific line, thus destroying the earn
ing's power of the Central line"
Still he thought it wise to build AL
these lines to police the country. Con-
Gliding he said: 1T does seem hard that
nearly thirty years after the work has
been completed, the representatives Of
this great nation of some 70.0O0,000 should
be asking the builders of these roads to
answer charges made by probably as
worthless a set of men as ever undertook
to block the wheels of commerce. or cog
the heels of an army of war or great
industrial army Ike that which works
