TRAINMEN DISCHARGED.


sudden Shaking Up On The Oregon Short Line
Trainmen on tho Idano and Mon
tana divisions of the Oregon Short Line
are described as in state of apprehen-
sion. Twelve of their number have
been summary discharged in the last
few days, and others are said to be fill
led with uncertainty, as it is not known
when or where the ak will next fall.
The trouble is said to arise from negli
gence on the part of freight trainmen
infailing to turn in cash fares collected
from boxcar occupants and others who
ride on freight trains.
So far the list of discharged men
that run into Pocatello numbers four
conductors and eight brakemen, but
several more are said to be on the list
and will get their medicine today.
Trainmen are afraid to see the call
bow coming, for they don't know
whether they are being called TO go
out or called on to the carpet 1t is
said that on the Eighth district, be-
tween Lima and Silver Bow, every
brakeman except one has been dis
charged and the one exception is in
the hospital at Salt Lake.
The present cleanup is said to have
had its origin in the revelations made
by brakeman at the Coroner'sinquest
over the remains of the victims of the
American Falls wreck. He admitted
taking money from the boxcar passen-
gers, and that he had returned all ex-
cept what he got from the men who
were killed. Since that time the com
pany, it is said, has been checking
the men up closely. Taking money
from boxcar tourists is in every in
stance the charge, and when called in
the men are confronted with days,
dates and amounts.
1t has been known for some time
that the trainmen ON the two north di-
visions were being checked up. Cur
rent rumors were to the effect that
some of the trainmen on freight runs
were in the habit of collecting
any kind of cash toll from the boxcar
tourists, who include all manner of
migrating individuals, A careful in
vestigation was started three weeks
ago by the company, with the result
as stated.-Salt Lake Tribune.

A LOTTERY CASE TRIED

court yesterday morning the trial of
Wong Chung for selling lottery tickets
was concluded and taken under advise
ment.
Police Officer Craig told how he had
purchased three lottery tickets. He had
gone into the shop, laid down his money
and was handed three blank tickets,
which he marked. These tickets he
handed to the Chinaman behind the
counter and received in exchange three
duplicates of them. He then left the
place and warrants were sworn out for
the Chinaman'a arrest. Craig was sub
stantiated in his statements by four
other men, who happened to be in the
store at the time These witnesses also
testified that they had many times be-
fore purchased tickets 1t the same place

teers, not drafted patriots. In 1861, when
soldiers were called for, 10000 loyal
Tennesseeans offered their services, and
amid the trials and terrors of the great
civil war, under conditions of peculiar
distress and embarrassment, her people
divided on the contending sides. But
upon whichever side found, they fought
fearlessly to death and gallant sacri-
flee. Now, happily, there are no contend
ing sides in this glorious commonwealth
nor in any part of our common country.
The men who opposed each other in
dreadful battle third of century ago
are once more and forever united to-
gether under one flag, in a neverto-be-
broken union.
The glory of Tennessee is not alone
in the brilliant names it has contributed
to history or the heroic patriotism dis
played by the people in some of the
many crises of our national life, but its
industrial wealth, social advancement
and population are striking and signifi-
cant in their growth and development.
Thirty-fve thousand settlers in this state
in 1890 had increased to 100000 in 1890.
and today it has population closely
approximating 100000. Its manufac-
lures, which in 1860 were small and un-
important, in 1890 had reached $72, 900, 900
in value, while its farm products now
aggregate more than s62, 100000 annual
ly. Its river commerce on three great
internal waterways, its splendid rail-
ways operating nearly 5000 miles of
roads, its mineral wealth of incaculable
value, form a splendid augury for the
future l am sure no better workmen
could be found than the people of Ten
nessee to turn these confident promises
into grand realities.
Your exposition shows better than any
words of mine can tell the details of your
wealth of resources and power of pro-
duction. You have done wisely in ex-
hibiting these to our own people and
your sister states and at no time could
the display be more effective than now,
when what the country needs more than
all else is restored confidence in itself.
This exposition demonstrates directly
your faith and purpose and signifies in
the widest sense your true and unfail-
ing belief in the irrepressible pluck Of the
American people and is promising in
dication of American prosperity. The
knowledge which this beautiful exposi-
ton gives will surely stimulate competi-
tion, develop your trade, increase your
output, enlarge your fields of employ
ment, extend your markets and so event
ually pay for all it cost, as well as justify
local sentiment and encourage state
pride.
Men and women I see about me from
all parts Of the country, and thousands
more will assemble here before the ex-
position is closed Let ourselves and let
them always remember that whatever
differences about politics may have
existed or still exist, we are still Ameri-
cans before we are partsans, and value
the welfare of all the people above party
or section. Citizens of different states,
we yet love all the states. The lesson of
the hour then is this, that whatever ad
verse conditions may temporarily i'm
pede the pathway of our national prog
ress, nothing can permanently defeat it.
