WIFE BOUGHT WITH A TIP.
Polygamy Results From a Boating Trip
Up the Nile.

A high dignitary Of the English
church connected with st. Paul's cathe-
dral. went with his family to Egypt for
a holiday journey. He planned a boat
ing trip up the Nile. and hired a drago-
man to conduct the party. After their
return to Cairo he settled the bill of x
penses for the outing, gave the drago-
man an unusually large present in mon
ey in recognition of his services and good
conduct. The Egyptian received the
gift with eastern urbanity and with
many expressions Of gratitude, says
Youths Companion.
Not many hours afterward the good
man related his experience In his boat
ing journey to an English acquaintance,
and in response to direct questions ex-
planned how much the water trip had
cost. the tip the dragoman being includ-
ed in the estimate. The English friend
was surprised by the generosity OF the
lnal gift.

depend upon IL that the dragoman had
never received so large a tip before He
must have thought that you were an
American millionaire instead of a work.

The canon was somewhat disturbed
by this revelation Of his ignorance Of

THE R

General Manager Bancroft and party
Of the Oregon Short Line passed west
this morning en- route home from their
conference with the Union Pacific Of
ficials at the capital. In speaking Of this
conference the Cheyenne Tribune Of this
morning says:
One OF the most important meetings
between railroad men ever held in the
west was held in this city yesterday
afternoon and evening between the head
officials Of the Union Pacific railway
and the Oregon Short Line railroad.
The conference lasted from 4:30 to 10
O'Clock p. M, during which time traffic
arrangements between the two great
western roads were practically agreed
upon. The meeting, which was held In
a private car at the depot, was. most
friendly and the officials were highly
gratifled at it's conclusion.

STORM ON THE RAIL-.
THE BLOCKADE ENTIRELY LIFT
ed AND TRAINS RUNNING
ON TINE.
Something in Relation 10 the Remark
able Work Performed by Trainmas-
ter Culross and His Efficient Corps
OF Assistants on the Mountain
Other Railroad Matters.

The blockade on the Union Pacific was
raised completely yesterday afternoon
and trains are runnig pretty close to
schedule today. Trainmaster Charles
Culross returned from the capital last
night with the belated trains and is to-
day feeling like a man who has per-
formed his entire duty in the face OF the
most trying circumstances. On the hill
the storm was terrific in its violence,
but the road would doubtless have been
kept open in spite OF the elements had
it not been for the breaking Of an eccen-
trio on the snowplow engine at Red
Buttes Tuesday night. This caused Il
delay Of more than two hours and per-
miLted the cuts to become drifted full OF
snow and impossible except with the
rotary.
On Wednesday morning. although the
orders from headquarters were in oppo-
sition to the moving Of trains during the
height Of the storm, il was thought wise
by Mr.. Culross to take No. 2, which was
at Red Buttes, over the hill, and the mat
ter was left to his discretion. With the
rotary running a station ahead the train
was conducted safely to the capital, ar
irving in the evening. Yesterday No. 4
Of Wednesday, No. 2 OF Wednesday
night and No. 4 of Thursday were taken
to the capital making a total OF four
passenger trains landed at Cheyenne
from the west before one had arrived
from the Nebraska division, where the
storm was not SO sever as on the noun
tain.
Many of the cuts on the hill contained
drifts higher than the cars, and the
sides OF the cars were in some cases
scraped by the banks as they went
through last evening. The rotary pillow
makes u cut just a little wider han a
passenger coach, and the swinging OF
the cars caused them to strike the sides.
No damage was done in this manner,
however, but a strange sight was pre-
sented to the passengers within.
The expeditions name in which the
road was opened Is a matter Of surprise
to old r%uilroaders, but the trainmaster
Is disposed to give most Of the credit to
the efficiency Of the men employed in the
train service on the Fifth and Sixth dis
tricts. They al be absolutely depend
ed upon. he says, to do all that can pos
sibly be done in the most critical ex>
igencies. Good judgment, first class
men, first class equipment and hard
work are all essentials in the makeup
of a first class road like the Overland.
1t is now a real pleasure to reflect up
on the terrors Of a storm such as that to
which the railroad men have been cub
jected, but during its continuance 1t has
privations, dangers and hardships ter
rible to bear.
The Cheyenne and Northern 10 still
blocked and II ia not likely that a train
will be able to get over that line for sew
eral days. Superintendent Fitzpatrick
has made application to the Union Pa
ciic for the use Of the rotary to run over
the line, and this will probably be grant
ed. The Burlington east Of Cheyenne
is also blocked.

NO LOOP l. IN 1T.

General Solicitor Kelly of the Union
Pacific has received a full copy OF the
opinion OF the United States supreme
court in the Western Freight ~associa-
ton case, or what is now known as the
anti-railroad ase says the World-Her-
aid. When asked what conclusion he
had reached afer reading the decision,
Mr.. Kelly said:
Il learn from a close perusal of the
opinion that every question which has
been raised in the case has been carefully
considered and handled and that each
decision is in favor Of the government.
There is no loophole left whatever. The
opinion Of Judge Dillon, contains a full
statement of the effects Of the decision
on the RAILROADS Of the country, and as
Judge Dillon is the general consul Of
the Union Pacific receivers, his opinion
will be followed out by the receivers to
the letter.
THE result Of the decision Of the SD
preme court leaves us nothing to do but
to abide by its decision. A formal with
drawal from the different trafic asso-
Citations is not necessary; II is unnatural,
since the associations are illegal and
members thereof are the same"

ALL ARE IN.
The Parties at Hutton's Lakes and 9th
ers Return to the City.

The snow-bound parties have all re-.
turned to the city and no casualties
have been reported to date. Messrs.
Fairfield and Gilmore, who started to
the Wheatland sub-station, camped
Monday night at the Merryfield ranch.
and proceeded no further. There was
no one at the ranch, but they had the
use OF a cookstove. a good building and
there was plenty Of hay for their horses.
When the storm was over they started
for the city. leaving the ranch yesterday
morning. They were met on the road
by Messrs. Reed. Buffum and Gilkin-
son.
Messrs. Soule!Merz, Knight and Love-
joy returned from Hutton's lakes last
night, with a large number OF ducks, for
which they paid very dearly. The storm
at the lakes was very severe, but they
had plenty of provisions and fuel and a
good tent and therefore did not suffer.
The university boys, Emory Land, Neil
Sudduth. Robert Smith and Murphy,
who were also at the lakes, were not
provided with a tent, but took their bed
ding into the Hoge barn and were COM
Portable during the storm. They also
bagged a large number Of ducks.
The officers from Fort Russell who
are at the lakes hunting will moi leave
yet for several days, as they will 20 back
over the range, and travelling through
The drifts is not to their liking.
These parties report that Mr.. Hoge's
loss in stock was not very great, al
though n few head Of stock persisted in
the lake, going in after water and not
being able to get out. The men, with
ropes, assisted several Of them to the
shore and saved their lives.

The story of General Grant and

morning paper uses it, most appli-
cable. The niger was dead scared
when he was questioned by General
Grant and replied as to Lees troops
about thous'n millyin." 1t was
not The Star that drew the parallel
between the niger and the P. c.
AS condition of mind, but as that
journal considers it an apt illustra-
ton, why the rest of the community
must agree. Since the P. c.. A.
found its figures were exaggerated
it has swung round and is on to the
annexation side again. Nothing
like sticking to Mr.. Pickwick's
motto, which was "When YOU
meet crowd, shout with the big
gest. Three hundred is found too
small to shout with, but it was
case of touch and go. Had it been
"a thous' n millyin" as first reported,

oh the uneasiness of trying to sit

WHAT Is 1T?
The Russell Staple Puller
and Wire Splicer.

The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is a drop
forge tool, made of black dia-
mond tool steel, and embraces
six tools in one; weight, about
a pound, and can be carried in
the hip pocket with ease.
The six tools are as follows:
1. Double staple puller,
nails, etc.
2. Double wire cutter.
3. Double hammer, non
breakable.
4. Good wire splicer, for any
kind of wire, barbed wire in
cluded.
5. Good pair pincers, with
long leverage.
Good monkey wrench, for
plows, machines, etc.
The leading fence companies
throughout the middle and
western States have adopted
this tool for use in putting up
their fences, and recommend
it as the best tool of it's kind
in use.
1t is one of those tools that
while used in wire fence work,
yet might be called "house-
hold article" as everyone that
has used it claim they cannot
afford to be without it around
the house, barn and farm.
If other dealers tell you that
they have something that will
do ,as we'll and is cheaper
don't have it. Why? Because
no one or two tools are as
cheap as six.
