until all the resorts of the kind will have

Attention has been drawn to the resorts
run by Yves Stout on West Market street
and by Chris Zimmerman on West WASH
ington street by the fact that girls are often
seen in them. The police have arrested a
number of women as they have left the
doors, but the proprietors are undisturbed.

the Trojan war. Ulysses, recognized as
King, desires to be rewarded with the
crown of Immortality. and he wants It at
2nce. To this end he devotes all his en-
~ergies to finding a marriageable goddess
whose alliance would place him at once
among the gods of Olympus The story fol-
lows his fortunes along this line. as we'll
as those of his matrimonial adviser, Oudeis,
who although slave and an arrant
coward, has certain kingly and immortal
aspirations of his own. Taken as a whole,
the verdict of the first night audience was
that the success of the new opera was I'M
qualified. Especial individual hits OF the
evening were made by Mr.. Macdonald, in
the title role, Mr.. Barnabee as Oudeis,
Mr.. Brown as Nestor, Jessie Bartlett Davis
as Gree, Queen of the Sirens, and Helen
Bertram as Porphyra.

GILBERT THOMPSON SHOT.
Loses His Left Hand as a Result
of the Accident.

Last Friday afternoon, while out
hunting with Will Pomeroy, Gill
bert Thompson, son of Gus. Thomp-
son the miller, received wound
that has manned him for life. In
some way shot gun was discharg-
ed, the charge entering Cilbert's
left wrist, tearing hole through it
and completely shattering the bones,
making amputation necessary. He
was brought to town and taken to
the hospital at Durango on Satur-
day, where the operation was per-
formed Sixteen shot were taken
from his breast, eight of which had
entered together taking with them
part OF the undershirt, and it is
from this wound that the doctors
fear trouble, as inflammation may
set in and cause pneumonia. Two
or three shot were taken from the
little finger of the right hand. 1t
is a very serious accident and the
wonder is that he was not killed
outright.
Just how the accident occurred
no one knows, as what little has
been said by the two boys does not
coencide and neither of them seem
willing to tell. Gilbert is now in
the hospital at Durango, where he
will remain until he RECEIVERS suffi-
cien,ly 10 permit his coming home.
DR.. Haefeli, of this city, and doc
tors Mclean and Da,is, of Duran
go, performed the operation, Mr..
Thompson was with his son during
the operation and returned home
yesterday, DR.. Haefeli having re-
turned home on Monday.

IN RAILWAY CIRCLES
Meeting Will Probably Be Held at
Denver Shortly.
TO SETTLE RATE TROUBLE
THE SITUATION LOCALLY HAS
UNDERGONE NO CHANGE.
Short Lines New Mail and Passenger
Schedule Will Advance Northern
and Western Mails Twelve Hours
of Great Importance to Salt
Lake-Latest By Wire-Notes.

1t is believed the end of the rate diff
ficulties which have extended through
out the west lately is in sight and that
a satisfactory adjustment will be eff
fected within the next ten days.
Officials Of western roads are now
making arrangements for a meeting to
take place either at Denver or Chicago
next week In ali probability Denver
will be selected. SO far as can be
learned, all lines participating in west
ern traffic will be represented and it is
confidently expected that all rates will
be restored.
The situation in rate matters locally
is unchanged. The approaching meet
ing is looked forward to as the most
hopeful solution, though there are some
who think the war will not come to an
end until some line takes the initiative
and makes a big cut, something after
the manner of the September reduc-
ton. Such a cut, though injurious to
the roads, would be effective.
If the meeting next week does not
prove prolific of results in the direction
sought after, the Southern Pacific may
put a reduced rate into effect between
California and Ogden. This, however,
would be a last resource. The general
opinion seems to be that no such action
will be necessary.
