Another SET of harness was stolen in
this city last Thursday This time
Roadmaster Douglas was the loser.
How long this petty thieving will last
without any one being caught it is hard
to tell We advise our citizens to Sc
eurely lock all barns, coal houses, etc ),
to prevent the loss of their property.
Harry C. Kumamoto, manager of the
japanese track labor department of the
Oregon Short Line, says that the com
pany has restored five cents n day of the
ten cent cut in the wages of the Japa-
nese section men which caused the in
cipient strike the first of the month.
The Japs now get $l.2O per day and
wood and water free. There are about
400 of them employed ON the Short
Line

who are prepa ing to so away to school,

L is reported that Senator
Hanna had fund Of II, 100000
left over from the presidential
election and that it will be set to
work in the campaign in Ohio this

1896 per week and had To pay

Through the kindness Of Judge
Osmond we are enabled to give the
school population of Bear Lake
county, rs determined by the
census just completed, and also the
apportionment of state and county
funds to the several school dis
tricts, made a few days ago. Ths

ALL ARE RITTER IT.
SHORT LINE TO BE SOLD.
October lst SET as the Day
for the sale.

LOT LDS sale.
The Union Pacific railroad sys-
tenn will be sold on October 1st.
The sale Of the main line will oc-
cur at noon at the Federal build
ing in Omaha, and the sale OF the
Kansas Pacific will occur at tho
Federal building in Topeka.
Notwithstanding all repol is to the
contrary, it now looks as if there
is liable to be some spirited bid
ding for the immense property.
The first and most prumYnsnE
bidders will be the Pierpont Nor
gan system, which holds the first
mortgage and eight millions Of
stock of the Oregon Short Line, a
controlling interest. The great
combination of capital is expected
to make q spirited effort to get the
property. If it is successful, Oil
yer w. Mink of Boston will be
president Of the new company.
Another syndicate, represented
by Winslow S. Pierce of New York,
is in the field and has declared its
intention Of bidding for the road.
The plan Of this corporation con-
templates a through line from
ocean to ocean BY combining with
the Vanderbilts and the New York
Central and Central Pacific.
Another syndicate, which is said
to be Of formidable proportions, is
said to lave been secretly organ
lied in San Francisco and repre-
sents the Huntington interests.
They hope to secure the line from
Ogden to Omaha, but do not care
for the Kansas branch.
1t is not yet clear whether !he
court viii permit tire two lines to
be sold separately, though the pre-
sumption is that the road will be
sold any way the bidders desire it.
All the interests bidding, except
the Huntington, want both lines in
order to secure the other segregated
Union Pacific branches and thus
form into grand system all the
interests that formerly made the
Union Pacific road SO forfnidAiie
to competitors in the railroad buFi-
ness west of the river.
The indications are, however,
that the Morgan syndicate will
stand ready to put up more cash
for the road than the other syndi-
Gates, since it contests the first
mortgage and cant thus liquidate
the debt.
It is whispered in railroad cir
cles that a corporation is forming
to buy the road that will surprise
verybody, but tho exact informa-
tion is not made public. 1t IL
rumorcd the syndicate has the
Milwaukee lines as backing.

Utah points better protection at
McCamnon. That place is Il
rendezvous for criminals, and peo-
pie do not care to- take the chances
of being robbed or possibly muir
dered that they now have to. As
fall approaches the junction station
will become worse instead of better.
A good, healthy officer at that
point would be appreciated by all
travellers on the railroad and one
ought to he stationed there.
Montpelier has been running
along almost a month without a
peace officer OF any kind in its
midst. The town has no marshal;
Deputy Sheriff Ridd has been on
duty at Paris, and Constable Rob-
inson has been out haying. In
that time one attempt to crack a
safe was made and a store robbed;
three sets of harness have been
stolen, several fights have taken
place, cattle run ad libitum in the
streets, sidewalks are in need Of re-
pair everywhere, and countless
other matters have needed the
attention of some kiud Of peace
officer, and still Montpelier is with
out any one in authority. The
people pay so mills county tax and
5 mills into the city, and it does
seem for this they ought to have
some kind Of protection, either
from the city or county, it wouldn't
matter which. People pay taxes
to assist in protecting them from
lawlessness. They ought to get
something for their money.

In another column will be found
the state auditors report for the
first six months of this year.
Every taxpayer in the state should
read it. The report shows that
the auditors Office in years gone
hy was pretty rotten institution.
1t seems the books have been kept
in such shape that the state doesn't
know where it is at regarding the
amount due it from the counties.
Another thing is shown that is
strongly scented, and that is the
state treasurer had on hand July
1st over 1000, while the state
has outstanding warrants to the
amount of 100000. Now, the ques-
tion naturally arises, Why don't
the treasurer call in $4,000 worth
more of warrants and stop the in
terest OH them? Or does he get
more out of the peoples money for
himself by holding such a large
amount in some bank? If the lat
ter is the case the people would
like to know it.
Il would seem thai there will be
spirited bidding for the Union
Pacific when i. is sold on Oct.
1st. No less than half a dozen
big corporations want it. Il Pier
pont Morgan gets if, which seems
likely, he will no doubt consolidate
the Short Line with the Union
Pacific, and then everything going
east will be shipped through this
city. This order Of things would
be exceedingly beneficial to Mont.
pelier, for it would mean more
men employed at this point and
hence more money. This scheme
would be exceedingly welcome.
i Il is reported that Senator
Hanna had fund Of 81 100000
left over from the presidential
election and that it will be set to
work in the campaign in Ohio this
coming autumn. A better use for
ii would have been the distIibn
tion Of it among the families of The

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

Claims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes n man so oyerfows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vlgor. As
it costs nothing to try the experiment IT
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which Will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor, without which they continue to
live an existence Of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to H. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Olds that he may know how you came to
write him.
