Chicago. Dec. 22.-The Chronicle says:
There are strong indications that the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific roads
are figuring on extending their lines to
the Pacific coast. The absorption of
the Hawaiian and Philippine islands
by this country, it is expected by the
owners of these roads, Will open up an
immense transcontinental rail business,
both east and west bound. The recent
deal by which the Santa Fe will have
it's own line into San Francisco in the
spring has awakened the officers of the
competing semi transcontinental roads,
An officer of one of the western roads,
who has Just come from the coast ana
who takes a keen interest in railroad
affairs out there, says; would not
be surprised to wake up some morning
and find the transcontinental situation
further complicated by the announce
ment that the Burlington was to be
extended to the Pacific coast. The Bur-
lington is a, good deal nearer the coast
than most people imagine, and 1 I'M
derstand that this road has been sur
veying through Idaho all summer-one
line through Nez PerceS pass and an
other through Lola pass. I understand,
also, that two or three Independent
lines that are now being built in west
ern Idaho and northeastern Oregon are
intended eventually to form part of the
proposed western extension of the Bur-
lington.
''Another point of interest, in this
connection, is the fact that the Bur
lington is a large holder of valuable
terminal and dock property at Gray's
Harbor, which would be of great value
to the company We're it to enter the
Oriental trade. Such an extension
would also form short route from
Tacoma to New Orleans"
Denver, Colo, is now the western
terminus of the Rock Island, and Bill
lings, Mont, is the end of the Burling-
toms tracks. 1t has been reported that
the former company would soon pur-
chase the Colorado Midland. which
would place its terminus 400 miles far
Their west Billings, Mont, the end of
the Burlington, is 1920 miles from Ia
coma, or a little farther than Ogden is
from San Francisco. While President
Purdy of the Rock Island denies the
report that his company is figuring on
absorbing the Midland, nothing definite
can be learned regarding the Burling-
| toms intentions.

Some Favored Organizing a Branch
of the Church.
MOVEMENT UNAUTHORIZED
HIGH COUNCIL TAKES ACTION
UPON THE MATTER.
Decision Against the Division of the
Scandinavian People Belonging to
the Mormon Church-Meets With
the Approval of Practically All
Who Are Interested.

For some time past a movement has
been on foot among certain members
of the Mormon church, who are either
from Sweden or descendants of Swedish
parents, looking toward the organiza-
ton of a Swedish branch of the church,
on much the same lines as the Swedish
Methodists or Swedish Lutherans are
organized. 1t was suggested that per-
hans it would be a good thing to petit
ton the high council and get decision.
Before this matter was reached, how
ever, the high council had the question
laid before it, and yesterday published
the unanimous decision, which was
reached the day before.
The decision relates that che high
council of this stake and the presl-
dency of this stake do not recommend
a movement which will tend to divide
the Scandinavian people. 1t is further
related that the present organization
for the conducting of Scandinavian
meetings in this city is the only recog-
nized one, and as it provides for as
senbling where the Swedes, Danes and
Norwegians can be instructed in their
own languages, it is believed there IS
no necessity for making a change. IL
was also declared that the Scandina-
Wan Saints are to understand that no
religious or semi-religious meetings of
any kind are authorized or considered
legitimate for them in this city, unless
they are under the advice or the direc-
ton of the presidency of the Scandina-
Wan meetings, sustained by the Saints
in conference, viz, ]. M. Sjodahl, pres
ident; Martin Christopherson and Jens
8. Jensen, counselors.0
The members of the church embraced
in the three nationalities are strongly
urged to unite together in their assem-
blies under the guidance of the mem
beers above named, and cautioned
against following the leadership of any
others who may be pretending to as
sumo authority
This view, of course, meets with the
approval of all concerned, it being
stated that the plan did not meet with
the endorsement of many of the lead
ing Swedish members of the church.

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN
MEDICINE.
A Remarkable Successful Remedy
For Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.

DR.. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine, said: There is
none which is certain to be so valuable
and far-reaching in benefit as Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach
remedy; I say far-reaching, because
people little realize how important a
sound stomach and vigorous Digestion
is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Bright S
disease, diabetes, nervous prostration,
liver troubles; why is this SO? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue
in our bodies is created and nourished
from the food we eat. If that food is,
by reason of a weak stomach, COM
PEELED to lie for hours, a sour, ferment-
ing mass of half-digested food, it poi
sons the blood and nervous system, Gre
ates gas which distends the stomach
and bowels, causing pressure on the
heart, lungs and other organs, and Sc
riously impeding their action.
He says further. the point to direct
attention is not the nerves, nor heart,
nor lungs, nor kidneys, but the stom-
ach, the first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for Indigestion and
weak Stomachs is not some cathartic,
but a remedy which will digest the
food, increase the flow of gastric juice,
ABSORB the gases, ana stuart DySpep-
STA Tablets viii accomplish exactly this
result in any case of stomach trouble,
because these tablets are composed of
the digestive acids, aseptic pepsin,
golden seal and bismuth, pleasant to
taste, and not being a patent-medicine,
can be used by anyone with perfect
safety. 1 believe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form of indiges-
ton and stomach trouble except cancer
of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists al
80 cents or by mail from T. A. Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. A book on stom-
ach diseases, together with thousands
of testimonials, viii be sent by address
ing above or call on yoar druggist foI
them.

LIVE STOCK CONVENTION.
Western Makes Rate of $16 For
the Round Trim.

Everything points to the cattlemen's
convention at Denver next month as
one of the biggest events of this kind
ever held in the west. The entries are
many and exhibits will be made from
nearly every state west of the Missis-
sippi.
The Rio Grande Western yesterday
announced a special rate of SIS for the
round trip from Salt Lake to Denver,
the selling dates being Jan. % and %,
and the tickets will be good for twenty
days. This low rate will no doubt be
met by the Union Pacific, as all the
roads are interested in the project BY
reason of this low fare a good represe y
tation from Utah is assured.
While the event is sometimes termed
a cattlemen's convention, it is in reality
a stock growers convention in which
sheepmen as well will participate The
programme mapped out will include
discussions of needed laws and as near
ly every live stock organization in the
west has either become members or
made application for admission, the
good results of the meeting are obvious.

John A. Blythe, the prisoner accused
If heinous offense, made rambling
talk of half an hours length in the
criminal court yesterday, in which he
accused the court jury, witnesses and
attorneys of being guilty of conspiracy
to secure his incarceration and punish
ment.
One theme of his remarks was that
he had not been properly defended by
his counsel. He declared he wanted a
change and insisted that John M. Zane
be designated as his attorney, because
his counsel were not playing fair with
him. He declared Detective Sheets had
been poisoning the minds of his friends
against him and that the county attor-
ney was not doing what was right and
proper by him. In addition to this,
Blythe stated he had been informed
that the court had already prejudged
his case and was figuring on the num-
Der of years he would send him up for.
He then branched off into a statement
in which he declared he had been asked
to plead guilty to a lesser offense than
the one charged against him; that he
had been advised by officials to plead
guilty or commit suicide, and other
similar startling declarations.
Once the defendant became some
<what pathetic in his remarks, and
showed signs of mental balance. 1t
was when he declared he would not
plead guilty to the heinous offense
charged, on account of his little boy
He alleged he had paid his attorneys
in full, $500, for their services, and did
not want them any longer. The court
had to compel him to keep to his state
ments time or two, as he was branch
ing off in an incoherent manner.
At the conclusion of his address, Mr.
Lippman Of the firm Of Powers, Straur
& Lippman, who have had his defense
in hand, arose and said it was manifest
that Blythe was not in a sound menta
condition and a commission should be
selected with a view to determining hi:
sanity. Counsel said the firm had done
the best they could with the case bu
if the defendant was dissatisfied, il
might be well for other attorneys to b'
placed in charge. This view was cor,
roborated by Mr.. Straup, who was also
in court.
The court disclaimed any action
which would have indicated his frame
of mind toward the accused at the pre-
vious trial, and permitted Powers
Straup q Lippman to withdraw ant
selected Z. 3. Critchlow to defend the
accused at the next term of court, tbs
case being continued until that time.
All the jurors in criminal cases were
then excused until this morning, wheI
the trial of William Brodie, charged
with raising a check, will take place.

GERMAN W0MAN'S DREAM.
How Mrs. Rollinger's Death Was Re
vealed to Her Sister.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Dec. pa special
from South Bend, Ind, says: Mrs.
Ferdinand Nabicht of this city is a sis
ter of Mrs. Michael Emil Rollinger,
who is alleged to have been murdered
by her husband in Chicago recently
Thursday night she dreamed that she
was in her old home in Germany and
her father asked her if she had not
heard of her sister being murdered in
Chicago by her husband. In her dream
she was transported back to Chicago,
and on her arrival here she met her
sisters daughter, who threw her arms
about her and said: They're taking
papa away and are going to kill him
Just like he did mamma. Save him."
Friday Mrs. Nabicht wrote her sister,
and last night received a telegram an
nouncing the murder of Mrs. Rollinger.
The latter is said to have often written
complainingly of her husbands cruelty
to her.

A BAD BLUNDER.
A Freight Conductor Causes a Nasty
Mix-up.

Kemmerer, Wyo., Dec. 22-An insig-
nificant wreck on the. line of the Union
Pacific at Upton has been the occasion
of one of the worst mix-ups in passen-
ger traffic that ever hit railroad. The
collision of a switch engine and freight
delayed the overland limited No. 8, six
hours, and travel being heavy, No. 8
was run in two sections from Green
River. Through the oversight of the
Union Pacific people at that point, pas
sengers who held tickets to Portland
by way of Ogden were allowed to take
the train via Granger. A freight con-
ductor who was put in charge of the
second section of the passenger train
failed to notice the bluhder and took
up the coupons reading from Ogden to
Huntington. When the Oregon Short
Line conductor came on, he demanded
cash fares beside the coupon from
manned in the hands of the passengers.
Naturally, the passengers were para
lyZed and attempted to explain, with
the result that scene followed, with
excited men, women and children try
ing to argue with the conductor. That
official declared he would put off all
those who were minus the right coupon
when they reached Opal station. When
that point was reached the weather
was so intensely bitter he carried his
people on to Pocatello. When the mud
die was last heard from, the passen-
gers didn't know how they were going
to get from Pocatello to Huntington
without paying cash for the ride rep
resented by the coupons taken from
them in error.

ALL WANT FREE PASSES.
The Traffic Managers Are Bored BY
Applicants.


These are the days when traffic man
ayers are being bored with applica-
lions for free passes. It is really sur
prisirg how many people think they are
entitled to this courtesy from the rail-
roads, which seem to be regarded as a
sort of an accommodation affair."
Traffic Manager Babcock's desk yes
terday had a good-sized pile of an as
sortment of such applications from all
over the country. Traffic Manager Ec-
Giles of the Short Line, has also been
made a mark for free transportation
applicants, and the same is, perhaps,
true of every traffic official in the coun-
try Persons connected in some. way
with railroads of uncertain existence,
certainly many of them not heard of
before, think they ought to have an
nuals and make their requests as
though they were Chouncey Depews.
So far no passes have been issued, as
it has not been determined to what ex-
tent the free pass system will be main
tanned during the coming year. There
seems to be a sentiment among execu-
tive officers all over the country that
the number of pasteboards is altogether
too large for the amount of benefit re-
ceived, and it is safe to say that most
of the applicants will be given the
marble heart.

SHERIFF LOSES.
Auditor Not Proper Defendant, Says
Norrell.

Judge Norrell decided the case of
Thomas P. Lewis VS.. the county audi
tor yesterday in favor of the defendant,
by sustaining the demurrer to the ap-
plication for writ of mandate This
is an action where Lewis, as sheriff,
/ sued for a writ to compel the auditor
II issue a warrant for his salary, al
legged to be wrongfully withheld. The
county commissioners ordered the war
rant not to issue until the sheriff set
tied for the difference received for
keeping United States prisoners and
the rate paid by the county.
The court holds that a mandate to
the auditor would not remedy the diff
Guilty, but the commissioners are the
proper parties to determine the suit,
and an action will doubtless be brought
against them.
