Tlllman is rapidly gaining n reputa-
ton for being one of those statesmen
who never open their mouths without
putting their feet in them" Up in
Rochester New York, the other day he
thought he saw n splendid opportunity
to hurl his anathemas at the rich, when
he esped a tally-ho coach in the out
skirts OF the crowd
The tally-ho was an offensive sight Ia
this prince of demagogues and so, met
epherIeslly, he pointed his pitehfork at
1t and hurled denunclatlons at the peo-
pie who occupied It. He regarded 1t, he
said, as a disgusting thing" an
"equipage which Is disgrace to our
country" intended for the "arlstocrats,'
and made Ito carry the rich, who are
the slave drivers of our land"
Tillman worked himself into a fury
over the presence of this obnoxious in
stitution at his meeting, thinking he was
making strong point against the
wicked gold bugs" he supposed were
there IN their splendid turnout through
curiosity, or to haunt their evidences Of
wealth in his face.
But TIllman used his pitchfork once
too often. 1t was suddenly transformed
into boomerang, and on its return
flight struck him amidships nearly

Somehow or other the free silver lead
ers cannot get together on the matter
Of the effect of the wheat boom on Bry-
anism. "Unle Dick" Bland, who is the
pioneer sllverite, and who is the biggest,
brainlest leader of them all, says the
wheat boom will undoubtedly strengthen
the Republican party, while Mr.. Bryan
declares that the effect will be to help
the free silver cause.
The silverite can take his choice If he
Is looking for opinions. Prejudice and
fanticlsm may cause him to accept the
cheerful nonsense of Mr.. Bryan; reason
will dictate to him that honest "Uncle
Dick" who was advocating the silver
hobby before Mr.. Bryan was a voter
and is himself a farmer who farms, may
be the safest adviser

Strenuous efforts are being made by the
idle miners to get the other fellows out

HIS WINNINGS 70 THE CHURCH.
Colonel Jennison Devoted Some of
His Gambling Gains to a Good
PurpOSe


Your tribute to the generosity of the
western Kansas gamblers" said an
old-time resident of Leavenworth
yesterday. reminds me of a little cpl
sode which fell under my own observa-
ton. One day in 1856 l was standing
near the Planters hotel engaged in a.
conversation with Colonel c. r. Jenni-
son. At that time he was in the zenith
of his gambling glory and had money
to throw at the birds AS we talked
three nice-looking ladies stepped up
and the spOkeswOman said:
Colonel JennisOn, We are soliciting
subscriptions to build a Baptist
church.
rs that SOP replied the colonel. as
he bowed politely Well where are you
going to build it,?
The lady pointed out the location Of
the proposed sacred edifice. and, while
she was talking. Jennison reached into
his vest pocket and drew out 800 bill
This he slowly twisted up in the form
of a taper, while a look half quizzical
and half shame-faced came over his
countenance. After the lady had
finished he said, in a hesitating sort of
way, which stood in remarkable CON
trast to his usual bluntness:
Well. madam, I have here a 800
bill which l won al gambling. If you
will take it for the church you are
welcome to it,
Colonel Jennison.' responded the
woman without a moments hesitation.
I think that money will do US more
she received the bill and departed as
smiling and happy as only woman
can who has done something for her
church"

bers on Sunday last. after a weeks weary
ride through the desert sands and box
canyons bordering on the rendezvous of
the BOOSTERS The gentlemen recite
, some thrilling experiences of the trip and
are receiving the congratulation of those
familiar with the gang on their fortune
in getting back at all. 1t was expected
when the boys had been away so long
that the robbers had either engaged them
as cooks or faro dealers or that perhaps
Lloyd was giving the boys Instructions
in stuff. while Anderson was retained to
wash dishes. but their return Sunday an
INITIATED all theories. LLOYD swaDDed
his cOckney cap for a SOmbrerO with one
of the outlaws and Anderson snapped his
worn out horse with another outlaw for
horse possessing sufficient strength TO
bring him home. The outlaws were as
hoSpitable to the boys as was Paymaster
Carpenter to them. and although they
gave no evidence of any desire for Lloyd
and Anderson to stay with them always
still their solicitation for their comfort
is well evidenced in the bargains they
bave on the hat and horse trades The
gentlemen ran into eight of the leading
citizens OF the Roost all hooked up
with guns enough to exterminate all the
niggers in FIT. Duchesne but after a short
interview returned to Price having no
desire whatever TO bring in any 50 600
scalps and giving little or no encourage
ment to their friends to entertain any
hopes of the bandits capture.

sor of bridge and hydraulic engineer
ing in the University of Wisconsin.
Speaking of methods of bridge cree
ton and rapid work in that line by
American engineers. it goes on to say:
Perhaps the most remarkab BILE achieve
ment on record to March, 1896, is found
in the erection of three Pegram truss
spans, 217 feet each. on the Union Pa
cific railway (the Snake river BRIDGE.
These three spans were erected, floor
system put in and ties and guard rails
furnished, Feb. S, 1896, the bridge gang
having arrived on the ground on the
evening of Jan. "a. Thus in II work
ing days the false work was put in,
traveller erected and the old Howe truss
spans removed and $50 feet of new
bridge erected and completed The
last span, not including the floor sys-
tenn. was erected in five hours and
twenty minutes. the material being
brought from the store yard 900 feet
away. On an average of 20 men were
employed, % of them being on the
traveller. Only one hosting engine
was used

BURLINeToN's NEW TRAIN.
Southwestern Limited" Consists of
Specially Constructed Coaches.

Chicago, May e.-The initial train of the
Burlington Southwestern Limited left
Chica=o this afternoon at $50 O'Clock.
smoker through to Kansas CITY: one
chair car to Kansas City and another
via St Joseph to Leavenworth: one
sleeper for Kansas City: one for St
Joseph and Leavenworth and one via
Hannibal and the Missouri Kansas &
Texas railroad for Texas, and a dining
car.
The train is new throughout and pres
ents several new features in equipment
and in construction. The platform on the
baggage car has been entirely dispensed
with and the extra length so gained will
be used for the storage of baggage. The
vestibues of the cars. sleepers ard
coaches are of new pattern and more
space is given TO them than has been
the custom heretofore. All the cars were
made especially for this train and will
not be used in any other service The
running of the new limited train will not
be faster than that of the trains which
the Burlington runs between Chicago and
Kansas City, but the train is finer than
the road has ever sent out of this city be-
fore.
A party which accompanied the train
came back from Mendoza on a. special
train which broke all existing records
for fast time. The distance from Men
dota to Western Avenue, 20 miles, was
made in 70 minutes, including one dead
stop, a slow uD through Aurora and
again over a mile and a half of new
grading. At one place AZ miles were
made in minutes.

At Eureka special effort was made
to entertain the excursionists, and the
people of this wonderfully rich camp
course visitors were received at the
Bullion Beck. the Centennial Eureka.
the Eureka Hill Gcdiva and Uncle
Sam mines. and while II is said that
seeing is believing" it is hardly pos
sible that those who We're fortunate
enough to inspect the great mines of
the camp could believe what they saw
On the return trip from Tintic- the
connection was made at Fairview on
time, and the excursionists were safely
returned to Salt Lake at S:15 pm, as
advertised.
It can be trutnfullv said that the
combined excursion was a success. 1t
was the largest one that ever went out
of Salt Lake City for days outing in
the mining camps of the state, and it
was ably handled by the two COM
panies under whose auspices ii was
given.
These excursions are. doing great
things for the mining interests of Utah
and reflect the enterprise of Utah
railroads; and as there are likely 10
be more of them in the future. the
enterprising people Of this city should
give them liberal patronage.
One feature that was particularly no.
ticeable regarding the excursion was
the LARGE number of ladies who went
out under the escort of husbands,
brothers and lovers. and they returned
to the city delighted with the trip.
