SENATOR BERT HOME.

after Three Months Absence He Is
Delighted to Get Back to His
Native State.
State Senator Eugene F. Bert has re-
turned home after an absence OF three
months. During his trip he has visited
all the principal cities of the northern
section of the country. Starting from San
Francisco last May, he made circuit
through Washington, Dakota, Wyoming
and on to Minneapolis, returning by way
OF Salt Lake.
Senator Bert was delighted with his
trip, but for all that he was more delight
ed TO get home to his native City. at is
all very fine to take a trip said he, but
give me San Francisco with its fog in
preference to any of the cities that have
been to.
II have noticed business boom, 20 to
speak. There is growing contden ce
everywhere that the hard times have
passed and that the entire country will re-
sumo its usual prosperous condition. The
commercial world mas been waiting and
wa: ching for the action of Congress on
the tariff question. Now that 1t is settled
there seems to be nothing to keep the
country back.
"Siuce the Klondike gold discovery the
whole country seems to be fairly set wild
over the result of such store OF gold as has
been found under the Alaskan snow. The
excitement all along the line that | have
travelled was something wonderful. Every
person one would meet could seemingly
speak of no subject except that
of Klondike and the chances of get
ting there before the spring. This and the
rise in the price Of wheat will undou btedly
bring about revival of business from one
end of the country to the other, princi-
pally among the farming class, and when
the farmer feels happy and porous the
whole country shares in his prosp rity."

 suited in
 Failure.

This morning Dave Liehtbaeh, who WAS arrested and brought here from Texark ana Sunday, on q war rant that had been issued at the in- stigaiion of NJ. II. Benson, charging him with grand larceny for stealing some .sold love letters which Ben son valued at $500. was discharged.
 The ease was d farce from begin ming to end. and the warrant should not have been issued, for the result is that the county is out about $30 for costs.
 It is now said that Benson will have a warrant issued charging Lichtbach with libel, and the latter says that if he does he (Litchbach) will prove by witnesses that every thing he has said or written about Benson is true. The young men will do well to let the matter rest where it is.
 An effort was made to get Lieht- bach to sign a paper alleging that his statements about Benson were false, but he absolutely refused. say ing that he would rot ill prison be- fore he would make such state ment.
 Lichtbach, while he claims that joe Dante gave him the letters, de- nies that either he or Dante stole them Dante. he claims. was his best friend, and says that he would rather stay in prison the rent ainder of his life than to besmirch the good name of his dead friend,
