Eastward 1hroughthe Rockies,
The Scenic Route.


The traveller, tourist or business
man is wise when he selects the Rio
Grande Western Railway "Great
Salt Lake Route" for his route to
the East. 1t is the only trans-con-
tinensal line passing directly through
Salt Lake City, and in addition to
the glimpse it affords of the Temple
City, the Great Salt Lake and the
picturesque Salt Lake and Utah
Valleys, it offers the choice of three
distinct routes through the noun
tains and the most magnificent seem
cry in the world. Double daily
train service and through Pullman
and Tourist sleeping cars to Denver,
Omaha and Chicago. Monday Tues.
day and Wednesday, of each week,
Pullman Tourist cars are run to
Boston via Chicago, without change.
Trains leave Salt Lake at 8.45 a. m.
and TAO p. m. daily.
For pamphlets descriptive OF the
"Great Salt Lake Route" write f.

extreme southwest corner of the
county, making the trip longer than
usual.
The Offices of Sheriff and Assessor
are separate now and Herman is a
candidate for Assessor. He has al
ready filed this Office several years
and so generally satisfactory that
no reasonable complaints have been
heard. Every taxpayer recognizes
g fairness of the man, knows that
he tries to do what is right, is will
ling to correct mistakes when they
occur, and that his carefulness and
good judgment have cleared the
Office Of many Objectionable features.
The general thoroughness of his
work, too, is attested by the fact
that for several years the county
Commissioners have found little or
nothing 10 equalize in his assess
ment rolls when submitted for that
purpose and that he is careful in his
work and needs no promptings to
perform it.
Such man should be retained in
service, for while changes in Office
are expected, yet too frequent SUBJ
situations in Offices Of this character
result more frequently than any
other ill damage to public interests.

FROM DELAMAR.

The fight going on between the
MESSENGER and the RECORD shows
that DeLamar is in the "supe" so
far as getting its share of county
official news is concerned. 1t looks
like a ring sure enough, only it's
a new one. The lists of voters that
are posted around town have got so
many mistakes in them that it

them is not printed in our own

The gasoline engine at the Mag

expert sent up by the firm from San
Francisco to start the engine after
the Magnolia owners had failed at
it for week, found that in setting
the engine up in the tunnel, the
owners had adjusted the parts SO
that the spark which furnishes the
power, exploded an inch or two
from the point intended by the
builders, and SO as to give no power
whatever. Twenty minutes work
and the trouble was remedied, and
the engine now is doing good work.

COL. NEWT URY SLIDES.
Gets Half Way Up the Statehouse
Steps Then Sits Down and Slides.

Col. I. n. Try of FIT. Scott, who pro-
poses to introduce the bill to CONSOLE
date several counties of western Kan
sas, made rather hasty trip down the
east steps of the capitol Monday The
manner of going may have been typical
of the way the colonel will fare when
the short grass members once get to
work on him.
take warning and pause and reflect ere
he sends his pet measure up to the
reading clerk.
Col Try started out of the Copeland
to go to the capitol. The wind was
blowing from the northwest and had
swept the loose snow that had fallen, off
of the sleet which covered the ground
and left everything a glare of ice.
Walking against the strong wind was
hard work, and the colonel pulled his
hat down over his eyes as far as he
could, turned uD his overcoat collar
and started out over the smooth, slick
ice, walking stiff legged and taking
short steps as every one was compelled
to do. The wind nearly blew him off of
his feet several times, but manfully he
struggled on like soldier climbing a
mountain to capture a battery at the
top.
When he got to the state house
grounds the walking was still worse
and the unobstructed wind buffeted
him with renewed force. Bending his
body and sticking his head right into
the wind, he struggled on with his eyes
SAA0t <AAlOA 5OlAS SOlIlG QlSldilCS lie
opened his eyes enough to see that he
was within 20 feet of the steps. With
q sudden impulse he started to run, as
if he would carry the building by storm
and began to climb the steps. The ter
rible cold and boisterous wind had beat
him around so that he did not see that
the steps had drifted nearly full of
snow The bottom ones had only a
narrow ledge of an inch or so on which
to secure a foothold, and the higher up
one went, the worse it got.
The frozen rain formed a hard crust
on the snow and the east steps would
have made one of the finest toboggan
slides in the world. Col Ury's sudden
impulse and determination to conquer
or die, carried him up the first II or Is
steps, and then there were no more
lodges on which to step, nothing but a
plane of ice confronted him, and it
sloped at the angle of 45 degrees. Paus-
ing and balancing himself for an in
slant. he surveyed the situation. He
could not go up, and if he attempted to
walk down he was sure to fall.
ReSolutely pulling the skirts of his
oVercOat close around him, he sat down
on the steps. When he stopped sliding
he was half way between the state
house and Santa Fe offices. He got
slowly up on his feet and looked around
to see who was looking, only to be
greeted by yells from the fellows in the
state house who had been watching
and who raised the windows to cOndole
with him. Col Try slowly started for
a tailor shop to have the rents in his
clothing, caused by the rough ice, re-
paired.

consider the ultimate possibilities of a

asked a question.
IF a million dollars were expended, -
said he, could the work which has
been so we'll begun, be carried on Wig

cured the services o& certain speakers

make up the million. There were rea-
sons why he thought that they might
fail-principal among them being the
bellef that arrangements had not been
made far enough in advance. In case
TINS proved true, then he proposed that
the work should be postponed until
next autumn.

HORSE ON STETSON'S TOMB.
Mausoleum to Kate Stokes and Hus-
band to Cost $4,000.

New York, Jan. 6.-"When die I am
going to have one of the finest mauso-
leums in the country and one that will
make those now in Woodlawn cemetery
look cheap in comparison" was a re-
mark that the friends of the late John
Statson used to hear him frequently
make.
A short time before his death John
Stetson gave his friends a general idea
be like. 1t is to be of granite, and will
have ponderous bronze doors On the
panels of these doors will be scenes
from the play from which he made a
large part of his fortune, and in which
his wife caDtivated the public heart
and showed that she was a charming
actress as we'll as one of the most dar-
ing bareback riders that ever entered
a circus ring. All the most effective
scenes from THE Crust of Society," in
which the late Mrs. Stetson, as Mrs.
ing lady, will be faithfully represented.
But the most curious of all will be
huge bronze horse, sitting on it's
launches, over the entrance to the
tomb. 1t will be a reproduction of
Mrs. Kate Stokes Stetson's favorite
trick horse.
The cost of the granite pile will be
between $4,000 and $4,000. c. B. Can
field has charge of the plans. The tomb
would have been completed by now
probably had there not been such q
| bitter strife over Stetson's will. The
appearance of two women in the courts
each claiming to be his widow, delayed
a settlement of the estate. Kate Stokes
Stetson's unexpected death, three weeks
| after the demise of her husband, gave
| rise to troublesome complications.

STRIKER IS A TERROR.
The Teacher Remem bers the New
Superintendent's Abstruss
Questions

The advent of State Superintendent
Stryker is looked upon with terror by
many Kansas teachers, because upon
the superintendent devolves the duty
of preparing some of the questions used
at the quarterly teachers examinations
The fear of superintendent Stryker
originated when he was on the state
board of education several years ago
He then prepared a set of arithmetic
questions which gave several thousand
teachers no end of trouble. Old teach
ers failed and Mr.. Stryker received no
end of censure and some commenda-
ton During his term the teachers
always dreaded to see the name Stry-
kerr at the head of the list of ques-
tons.
1t will not pacify the teachers to hear
that the arithmetic and history ques-
lions for the January examination are
now being prepared by Mr.. Stryker.

is TOPEKA FRIGID?
She Will Endeavor to Prove to Edi-
tors That She is Not.

An effort is to be made to entertain
the Kansas Editorial association which
meets in Topeka on Jan. 25. When the
association last met in Topeka the ed
itors were almost entirely overlooked
and they went home with their minds
full of malice toward Topeka and it's
citizens. That circumstance furnished
material for no end of editorial gossip
concerning the selhshness and frigidity
of Topeka people.
It was not long before people over
the state came to believe that Topeka
considered itself exclusive and did not
care a great deal what became of the
rest of the state.
This year an effort is to be made to
convince Kansas editors that they are
mistaken. When the annual assOcia-
ton meets in Topeka it is proposed to
have a reception committee to receive
the visitors, and Topeka people will APP
pear to them in their true light
The details of the entertainment of
the association have not yet been com
pleted, but the people of Topeka will
be asked to cooperate with the local
committee to make the editors feel at
home.
