TO BE OR NOT TO BEp
Will the Western Build Its Projected
Line to Park City.

OF the Westerns projected line to
Park City, through Provo canyon, the
Provo Enquirer says. editorially: The
great stir which was made over the
proposed railroad through Provo can
yon seems to have been of no avail.
The road has not been built, nor is
there any prospect of the railway n
plying with the terms of the franchise,
permitting the road to run through
Provo city The council should have
its eyes on the situation.
The great stir referred to means, no
doubt, the start the company made In
the direction of building this line last
year. Nine blocks of track were laid,
sufficient to hold the right-of-way,
though we are not familiar with the
terms of the city franchise. 1t is true,
there is but little prospect of the line
being built, especially since the Rio
Grande Western came into possession
of the Utah Central road from Salt
Lake to Park City. But, nevertheless,
the Western made a hard fight against
the Telluride Power Transmission COM
pany in a suit to hold a certain site in
Provo canyon, Hanging Rock
The power company above named Sc
lected this site for an enormous dam,
but, if thus utilized. it would necessi-
tate the Westerns building along the
mountain side at a higher level and,
naturally, would incur much greater
expense in construction. Thus far the
railroad has been successful in its suit,
though the case will be fought in the
supreme court.
Why the road should make this fight,
if it does not intend building the line,
is apparent. The road has an immense
traffic layout into the Tintic region,
great part of which is in coal from its
own mines. The Telluride Power COM
pany proposes to furnish electric power
for the Tintic region, and this would, of
course. be detrimental to the Westerns
market for coal.
But, as the power company is now
operating its plant in Provo canyon
with the use of a temporary dam, and
as it is building a line, now almost
completed, into Tintic, it should be a
matter of but a short while before the
railroads real intention in this matter
comes to view.

CROOKEDNESS AT OMAHA.

unless papers in the hands of the city
attorney, which the judge asserts be-

the question of bringing Impeachment
charges against Police Judge Gordon,

out of Office.
The board of education is investigat-
ing charges of corruption made in con-

a ring within that body is running the
city affairs for its own political and
pecuniary benefit A clash between
Judge Scott and the excise board is

have always rather disdained fads and
disliked Pigments of the imagination
but there are a few facts 1 can make
affidavit to.
From early childhood 1 have used
coffee. The taste was no doubt hered-
itary, coming from a long line of cof-
fee loving ancestors who bequeathed
me a complexion to match.
When others spoke of the Injurious
effects of coffee, smiled in a lofty sort
of way and took an extra cup, and
when a friend who is an excellent Judge
of the good things of this world, left
off coffee and tried Postum, l regarded
her as the victim of a fad and told her
so.
Finally my health began to fail, and
1 thought perhaps there might be some
truth in the statement that coffee was
at the bottom of it, so 1 tried leaving
it off, but the meals were no meals at
all.
That was not imagination, ne ther
was the headache, morbid listlessness
and general arrangement of the sys-
tenn. / found my coffee habit was not
to be lightly thrown aside, and became
very much vexed at my own weakness
TRY my plan" my friend said, and in
my extremity, 1 finally yielded She
gave me some Postum which I boiled
about five minutes and slipped it some
what disdainfully. The color was
good and the fragrance, but the taste
was fiat. When my friend inquired.
she Shook her head and smiled. Five
minutes, when 1 told you fifteen; oh
We of little faith. Let me make the
next cup for you" She did so, and it
was revelation
For a week l continued it's use with
great benefit, even the bad taste in my
mouth had disappeared. Humbly l
sought my friend and said, ''if YOU
will tell me where l can get Postum,
shall continue its use" She smiled
and remarked, 81 am afraid you are
the victim of a fad" l took the home
thrust as gracefully as possible, well
enough satisfied to be joked, inasmuch
as l have been SO very much helped by
the discontinuance of coffee and the

GENERAL KENT MAY TESTIFY
Before seventy-frst Regiment Court
of Inquiry.
New York Herald.)

In the Twenty-second regiment ar
mory the court of inquiry appointed to
inquire into the charges of cowardice
preferred against Major Smith and
Captain Whittle of the Seventy-first
regiment, reconvened yesterday morn
ing, after a recess of two weeks. Be
fore the court began its session Colonel
Bacon, counsel for Major Smith, COM
planned that the structures on General
Kent which ne passed in his opening
address had been stricken from the
minutes of the court. He declared that
the court had no right to do this, and
that, if necessary, he would make a
personal report to the governor on this
question.
Major Payne began his opening ad-
dress in behalf of Captain White as
soon as the court went into session. He
declared that the charges against the
captain were the outgrOwth of a polit-
ical and military intrigue by which
junior officers in the regiment hoped to
profit at the expense of the seniors.
Captain White took the stand in his
own defense, and remained under ex-
animation the greater part of the day
Captain Whittle was followed by Ser
geantS List and Schumacher of COM
pany A, Seventy-first regiment, who
corroborated the account that the cap
tain gave of his movements on the day
of the battle at San Juan. The court
will meet again this afternoon at 100
O'Clock.
The inquiry into the charges against
Major Smith and Captain Whittle will
probably be finished tomorrow, and the
court will then determine when il will
conduct the investigation into the con-
duct of the whole regiment, which was
ordered by Governor Roosevelt. 1
learned from Colonel WEIGH the presi-
dent of the court. that an opportunity
would be given to General Kent to APP
pear before the court and testify in re-
lation to the charges against the regi-
ment embodied in his report.
