THE PROMISED LAND.
Why the Tourist, Traveller and Student
Should Visit Utah.

why tno TOuklBt, Traveller 6Ru SGuAbnS
should Visit Utah.
There are two reasons, either one Of
which ought TO be conclusive with every
American citizen:
First-The trip from Denver TO Utah via
Rio Grande Western, "Great Salt Lake
Route" Is the grandest to be found any
where on the continent. No European
trip Of equal length can compare with II In
vOriety and grandeur Of scenery and wealth
Of novel interest.
Second-You should 90 because, when
you have made this wonderful trip, you
will find Utah at the end Of it-Utah, one
Of the worlds famous spots and land OF
gold, silver, copper, iron and coal; Of lofty
mountains and fertile valleys;of vineyards,
fruits and flowers. Salt Lake City, the
capital, Is Of great interest on account Of
its historical and religious associations.
Here are Hot Thermal Springs, Warm
Springs, Sulphur Springs, Sanitarinm,
Parks, Drives, Canyons and the most
healthful climate on earth. Great Salt
Lake with the new and beautiful SaltaiF
Beach Resort, Of Moorish design, has no
equal In America. Write 10 +. A. Wad-

ment in existence now In our midst,
which In all probability, if not checked
soon by a timely warning, will do US
great harm and eventually overthrow
the glorious cause that we started out
to accomplish. We have great battle
before US, and terrible enemy to sub
due before we shall be able to restore
equal rights to a doWntrodden and OPP
pressed people, where they belong. We
must bear in mind that old Satan has
been lOosed a little season, and is al
ways on the alert, ready to take all
undue advantage In his power, having
his hosts now in line, well drilled,
armed and ready for action, with great
breastwOrks fitted and prepared for the
occasion, and false password in each
subjects mouth called redemption. +"
The ambition of his existence has been
to deceive, to lie, to cheat, and bring
unto subsection all the true patriots
that he possibly could. He is great
schemer, and will do the bidding and
the dirty work of the whole European
shylock power, and has already taken
the contract and issued strict orders to
the Republican party relative to the
issues of the coming campaign, telling
those of the West to advocate the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver, at any
ratio, or on any terms best suited to
the locality, regardless Of international
conference, parity, intrinsic value, or
any other stumbling block that might
interfere with their success, giving
special orders to be a little louder
mouthed on the free silver question
than any Populist dare be, telling them
that the Republican party had always
been friendly to free coinage and
swearing by the eternal that they had
voted for the same in the past and
would surely restore it in the future.
But above all things be sure to vote
for Reed in case he is nominated, or If
Mckinley should be the lucky man, do
your utmost to have him elected. loot
horns, send up skyrockets, get passes
from the railroad company, send over
to Wall street for little pocket change,
and have a grand jubilee. Tell the
Populist that he is q Western man, and
will surely favor the free coinage Of
silver, and make them believe it If pos
sible. Take every weak -kneed Repub-
lIcsn out that has tendency to lean
toward the Populist side and admins
ter a little spplejsck mixed with

candidates should be defeated by the
old time-honored gentleman, Grover
Cleveland, stand by him like one
brother should stand by another. We
have in him a great finsncier, sound
money advocate, and one that will
never forsake the single gold standard.
Therefore let me give you your last and
final instructions which you are under
obligations and duty bound to obey.
Take q protection policy in your
right pocket, and free trade policy in
your left. When in a protection dis.
trict, use protection; when in a free
trade locality, be free trader; when
in a doubtful district, be doubtful;
when in the North and East preach

BOLT HIT The BLACKBURN
Police Boat Was Struck by Lightning
Opposite Broad Greek.
Pilot tRussellDean w as knOc ked SENSE
less From the Wheel, But Was
Not Injured.

Lightning struckt t he police boat oe Black
burn and knocked her pilot, Russell Dean,
off his feet Oh Tuesday last. The accident
occurred while the craft was off Broad
Creek. The Joe Blackburn stands in with
Neptune, but Jupiter is agin' her.
The weather was threatening when the
little cruiser pulled out her slip and headed
down stream and the weather eye OF her
| men saw trouble in the air. Yet the craft
and crew hesitated not.
She was bent en- business, and though
she is a frail craft when she got orders to
pail out she stood not upon the order OF CO.
ing but went.
At 6 O'Clock she was abeam OF Alexan-
dria and the wind was making thesea horses
prance. The Joe Blackburn rock ed nd wal
| lowed as the wind got full sweep at her
and the spray boarded her docks.
Wed better put into port till the squall
blows by" suggested one OF the crew, but
Commodore Sutton shook his head in a
negative way and the pilot held her into the
storm.
The clouds opened and the river above
poured into the river fellow. The Black
burn was in the midst Of waters. Batteries
doomed in every cloud and lightning flashed
till the waves around were lurid. Halos Of
fire played around the jack staff and the
golden truck OF the little boat was crowned
with blazes.
Every ounce of steam that she would stand
was turned on, till her cylinder hissed like
a demon and the hand of her steam gauge
pointed close to the pressure limit.
The wind swept down stream with such
velocity that Pilot Russell Dean brought
her about and put her head into the winds
eye. The brass and steel of the Blackburn
seemed magnet to the lightning, and at
times she was wreathed in fire.
Just as she came abeam of Broad Creek
a binding flash dazzled the men on the
boat and deafening crash stunned them.
A thunderbolt had hit her. -y.
The craft quaked and trembled under the
blow. She wavered from her course, rolled
from side to side, and seemed to have been
almost shattered by the shock.
Pilot Dean had been thrown from his post
at the wheel and hurled senseless to the
floor of the pilot house.
Lightning had struck the brass taffrail
on the port side, Just abaft the pilot house,
and twisted the ran and the steel post into
which it was bolted. Everybody on board
thought the craft lost. but she righted
herself and acted nobly.
Harbormaster Sutton and Harbor OF
fioers Lewis and Perry fastened to the
assistance of the unconscious pilot. Lewis
took the wheel and held the craft against
the wind, while Sutton and Perry applied
restora tives to Dean. He was found not to
have been seriously injured. and soon re-
covered. The beat was not marred other
wise than has been already stated.

and that when children begin to ride
great care should be taken to insure q
