Salt Lake, July J

Salt Lake, July IS.
Dear Old Hal-Another week of heat
and politics-both at the boiling point.
Nothing whatever in the amusement
way worth setting down, but obedient
to your injunctions, l set it down just
the same. You say politics don't inter

Salt Lake half an hour, and listen to
the universal theme discussed on every
corner. Bryan, Bryan, Bryan; it's in
the air with silver, silver, silver. To

icenery and exceedingly clever stage

weird atmosphere necessary to make it.

He Wanted to be Senator From the

Colby, May 28.-This city is the scene
of carnival of politics unequaled in
the history Of the northwest. The Pop
ulists Of the Thirty ninth senatorial,
the Sixth congressional and the north
west appellate court districts are hold
ing their conventions here this week,
and the politicians are in their element.
Major Levi Pritchard, of Graham
county. was yesterday nominated for
state senator, defeating Tom Egan, Of
Cheyenne county, and Ben Rich, of
Trego county. who made a record as
chief clerk of the DunsmOre house in
the legislative war of 1893
The important convention, however,
win be held today, when a strong effort
viii be made to defeat Congressman
William Baker. There are seven can
didates in the field, with w. d. Street,
Of Decatur, and W. S. Wilcoxson Of
Thomas in the lead.
A growing sentiment in favor of a
new man and a farmer is apparent.

AWFUL PERIL OF AN ALTON TRAIN
While the storm was at its highest.
the passenger train of the Chicago &
Alton railway pulled out on the bridge
from the Missouri side. Tt was on it's
way east. Engineer Scott had only
proceeded a short distance when he
realized the awful danger which threat
ened the train The wind struck the
coaches, at first causing them to careen.
AT that time he was about half way
across. over head the poles were snap
ping tumbling into the river. while
large stones We're shifting loose
from their foundations and plunging
into the water. Realizing that at any
moment his train might be blown into
the water. or else the bridge be blown
away, Scott put on a fun head of steam

in an effort to make the east side shore.
The train had scarcely proceeded 200
feet and was about the same distance
from the shore when an upper span of
the bridge was blown away. Tons of
huge granite blocks tumbled to the
tracks where the train loaded with pas
sengers had been but a moment before.
AT about the same instant the wind
struck the train, upsetting all the cars
like playthings. Luckily no one was
killed. but several were taken out Sc
verely injured. The wrecked part of
the bridge is just east of the big tower
near the Illinois shore and extends east
for about 300 feet. The entire upper
portion, traversed by street cars and
carriages, is carried away, while the
tracks beneath are buried in the debris,
in some places eight feet deep.
AT the burning St Louis Refrigera-
tor and GutterWare house several in
jured fremen had been taken from the
wreck and three more were known to
be in the cellar dead. Three brothers
named Hardy We're seriously injured.
1T was said that prOba bly, seventy more
were still buried in the ruins.
AS the storm was at its height the gas
holder at Eighteenth street collapsed.
People were terrified by columns of
burning gas leaping high in the air.
The tank was nearly fun Mt the time
and the force of the wind caught it
and turned it over. The gas was ig-
nited and burned for few moments at
a fearful rate

after a most oppressively hot day. and
