ACCIDENT TO A BArTBkYMAN.

A letter from Mrs. Abbot wife OF the
commanding officer of the First Rhode
Island Regiment, has been received by
q lady in this city. i'm response to let
ter sent to her few days ago, in which
Mrs. Abbot was asked To name what
articles were most needed TO benebt
Col. Abbot during his sickness. Mrs.
Abbot, who Is with her husband. writes
a list Of articles and then goes on TO
say that while the colonel has been a
very sick man indeed, he is now doing
well and Is slowly on the road to recov-
cry.
Nothing further has been heard here
concerning the equipment Of Battery
A. which 1t was generally understood
was to remain with the battery after
IL is mustered out Of the United States
service. and there is hope that matters
can be 30 arranged that the modern
guns now at the armory on Benefit
street will remain as a part of the
equipment OF the Rhode Island militia.
may Be Mustered Out.
1t is pretty generally believed now
in official circles that IL the PROPOSE
tion to muster out $4,000 more volun-
teers which the president has under
consideration Is definitely decided on
the First Rhode Island Regiment Is
likely to be one OF those selected. al
least so says q dispatch from Washing
ton. The acting secretary or war
Mr.. Meiklejohn. however. denies that
any further regiments will be mustered
out until the military commissions IN
Cuba and Porto Rico have made their
reports. or at least until the occupa-
ton of these islands can begin. Thus
the matter stands. and II seems TO DC
another case of guess again.
A rather remarkable thing has oc-
Cured at Camp Meade. I'm that Major
Hill, senior surgeon of the First Rhode

Second Division hospital. for this is
something that has never been done

UNION PACIFIC PAYS A DIVIDEND

First Money Stockholders Have Seen
for Many Years.
A dispatch from New York says that
the Union Pacific Railroad company
has declared a dividend Of IL per cent
on its preferred stock.
The announcement that the reorgan-
lied Union Pacific railroad had declar-
ed a dividend was very favoably COM
mented on by the few officials of the
Overland Route" now at headquarters
in this city. The dividend was not I'M
expected as rumors Of it's coming were
received from Wall street more than a
month ago. 1t is said to be the first
dividend the Union Pacific road has
declared since 1884, or ten years before
the commencement OF the ~receivership.
AS the company was only reorganized
February 1 OF tsis year the early
conversion of the great railroad prop
erty into a money arner attracts atten-
tion to the new administration and is
OF economical management

last seven months.-Omaha Bee.

M0NDELL At HOME
IMPORTANT INTERVIEW UPON
TWO VITAL QUESTIONS OF
THE HOUR.
Forests Will be Preserved and the CUT
ting OF Timber Regulated-Storage
Reservoirs for the Conservation Of
Flood Waters Should be Pressed to
an Early Issue.

Hon. Frank w. Mondell arrived fom
Washington yesterday and passed
through the city last night, en- route to
Evanston, where he will speak tonight.
Mr.. Mondel has been a very busy man
during the past thirty days, having had
complete charge OF the general land
office during the absence Of Hon. Bing-
er Hermann. the commissioner. On an
average he vas compelled to pass upon
and sign a very great number Of letters
per day. He was at his desk from 9 in
the morning till 6 in the evening and
from s till almost midnight. The work
in the general land Office has greatly in
creased of late, the mineral business
being very large and the homestead
filings on the increase. In the land de-
partment of the government. at least,
public office is not a private snap.
Speaking of forest reserves, Mr.. Mon
dell said: wyoming now has three
forest reserves, each in crarge of a sup
~erintendent, who have under them ar
aggregate of fifteen foresters. Although
the forest reserve policy was inaugur-
ated as late as July /, it is expected that
fires within the reserve will be almost
absolutely prevented this year. We
need legislation and appropriations for
the preservation Of our foests outside
of the reserves similar to that being in
augurated Within the reserves. By pre-
venting fires and with proper supervis-
ion of cutting on the public domain,
there is no reason why there should
not be a continually increasing supply
of timber in the state, and an increase
in the forest areas. This will bring
about a large and more constant flow
in our streams for %irr'sating purposes"
Referring to the conservation of the
flood waters he said: "If We all work
together earnestly along proper lines
I believe we can obtain federal appro-
priations for the building Of storage
reservoirs. This will require much
earnest work and we should profit in
TINS matter by past experience in our
efforts in this direction. Eastern con-
gressmen are very jealous Of appropr1-
ations for increasing the area of lands
brought under irrigation, and the south
Is against us on the ground that such
appropriations are unconstitutional.
We should conduct our wok in this di-
rection along the lines followed In the
past by our senators. and ask for ap-
propiations to conserve flood waters for
the purpose of preventing overfows on
the lower Mississippi. Besides my ex-
perience in congress I lave talked with
many members Of congress during the
past year as I met them in the general
land office. on this subject, and l feel
hopeful that a beginning in this direc-
ton may be had in the next congress-"

TALK OF CONSOLIDATION.
Union Pacific and Short Line Stories
Again Revived.

Union Pacific and Short Line Stories
Again Revived.
Rumors about the consolidation of
the Short Line and Union Pacific are
flying about in railroad circles 50 thick
ly That it's hard to dodge them, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. Some officials who
claim to be on the inside look wise and
say nothing when asked about the mat
ter.
history the Union Pacific will hold a
general stockholders meeting in Salt
Lake gives a tinge of color to the con-
solicitation stories. A. second coat of
color is added by the fact that the Short
Line holds its general meeting just one
day later than that of the other road.
The first is scheduled on October 18th
and the other for October 18th. The
only reason aside from the cOnsolida-
ton theory for the proximity Of the
two meetings, was advanced by a high
official of one of the roads yesterday.
This official suggested that the gather
ings would be held as indicated be-
cause MANY persons were stockholders
in both roads.
As the stories have Travelled they
have gathered details. 1t is said. but
without any apparent authority, that
the Short Line auditors office will go
back to Omaha. Another rumor has it
that one or two OF the Short Lines
geneal officers are to be let out and
others reduced in authority.
Both Short Line and Union Pacific
officials plead innocence Of any knowl-
edge Of approaching consolidation.
They say the present rumors are mere
ly the galvaniZing of stories Of the
long-ago. They declare they have
heard the "cry OF wolf" before and see
no reason to be alarmed this time. One
said, with a far-away look in his eyes:
81 don't know anything about it just
now. OF course I have heard things.
but if l knew positively all about it. I
am not in a position to give you the in
formation, don't you know"
Nevertheless. in spite Of all denials
and protestations, nearly every rail-
road man in Salt Lake believes there
is ONE significance in the fixing of
those dates for stockholders meetings,
and especially in the Union Pacific call
ing such a meeting in a city to which
its line does not run.

BREES- BEGAN
Marriage of a Former Laramie Lady at
Saratoga.

The following from the Saratoga
Tyre will be OF interest to the many
Laramie friends Of Miss Hattie Breese:
One Of the prettiest OF ealy autumn
weddings occurred on Friday Of last
week. when Mr.. James Deegan and
Miss Harriet A. Breese were united in
marriage by Rev. A. Robinson of Sara
toga.
The wedding occurred at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Pryor, relatives OF
the groom, and the house was tastefully
decorated with cut flowers.
Just as the clocks We're on the stroke
of Il, the bride, leaning on the arm OF
her mother, entered the parlor and
there met the froom, where, surrounded
by friends, they uttered the vows that
made them husband and wife. Little
Madelaine McPhail, a niece of the
groom. was the maid OF honor and was
dressed in a dainty gown OF white mus
Lin. a.
Following the ceremony a de-
licious wedding breakfast was served.
Mr.. Deegan is a very popular young
man. known for miles around, and
owns a ranch on North Spring creek.
Mrs. Deegan is the daughter of Mrs.
w. w. Breese Of Denver, and is much
loved by a large circle OF friends. She
was most becomingly attired in a gown
of white brocade, deliberately trimmed
with lace and silver passamenterie
and white lace, and carried a bouquet
of bride roses tied with white satin RIB
bon. She was indeed a sweet bride.
The happy young couple were the re-
cipients of many beautiful ard useful
presents, testifying the esteem in which
they are held. Among those in attend
ance were Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Cowan,
Mrs. G. s. Walker, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Wilson. Alex McPhail and family, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank White, Mr.. and Mrs..
A. Robinson, Miss Eliza Mclean and
Charles Roger.

RIDE.
Makes a Trip From Rawlins to Lara.
mie Behind a Coal Train.

r. Buckingham, master of t%ransporta-
ton Of the Union Pacific. yesterday
made a trip over the Sixth district be-
hind one of the heavy coal trains which
the company is compelling some of its
train crews to take from Rawlins to
Cheyenne. 1t is said Mr.. Buckingham's
object in making his present western
trip is to investigate complaints made
by the men, who are sometimes as
much as twenty-siX hours on the road
from Rawlins to Cheyenne. If the mas
ter OF transportation intends to judge
entirely by his personal experience, it
is probable that the complaints will
not receive much attention, as every
thing favored the train to which his
special car was attached at Rawlins at
4:4O a. m, yesterday. and he reached
Laramie at 4:15 p. m, having been
eleven hours and thirty-five minutes

Union Pacific Declares a Dividend.

The visit of General Manager Dick
inson to the vicinity OF Laramie has
stirred up a great deal of speculation as
to what the management proposes to do
in regard to the proposed shortening
of the Union Pacific road between Lar
annie and Rawlins. Among well-in-
formed people who are not connected
with the official family. it is believed
that the project whereby it was hoped
to save thirty miles in distance and
avoid some of the heavy grades on the
Sixth district has been abandoned,
though it is still said TO be the in
tention to avoid Simpson Hill by using
the Hanna branch from Allen Junction
ITO the coal mining town and building
an extension from there to the main
line somewhere in the vicinity of Dana.
One of the engineers who surveyed
a line from Wyoming station westward
to a point beyond Medicine Bow was
heard to remark a few days ago that
the country over which he passed was
about the toughest he ever
ed and that the building of a road over
the route would necessitate the filling
in OF many depressions a hundred feet
deep. and cutting through an equal
number Of hills a hundred feet high,
and at n point a bridge l47 feet high
would have to be built. Dale creek
bridge has the reputation Of being quite
a distance from the creek bed, but if
the n on the Sixth district is ever
constructed, the Dale creek structure
will dwindle into insignificence as far
as height is concerned.

Without a word of warning the groom
