SALE OF THE L, T. & S.
Was Once Operated By Union Pacific
and Santa Fe.

Topeka, Kans.. Feb. Judge Fos-
ter, in the federal court, has entered a
decree for the sale of the Leavenworth,
Topeka & Southwestern railroad. The
decree is TO satisfy a judgement of 81
705, 692 in favor of the American Loan
& Trust company of New York. The
sale will be conducted by Hiram B.
Dillon, special master in chancery, but
the date has not been fixed.
The Leavenworth, Topeka & South
western is an independent line running
from Leavenworth TO Topeka. 1t has
been operated during the past six years
by the Santa Fe and Union Pacific
jointly, but more recently the Santa Fe
has operated it alone as a branch line.
Neither road wants the Southwestern,
as each one has its own tracks into
LeavenwOrth, and it is quite certain
that neither the Union Pacific nor the
Santa Fe will bid the road in.
1t is said that the Maple Leaf, which
has a road into Leavenworth, and is
ambitious TO obtain a fOothOld in east
ern Kansas, may be bidder for the
property.

ENORMOUS LOSSES OF STOCK
SIXTY THOUSAND SHEEP DYING
IN SOUTHERN COLORADO.
Estimated That Half the Cattle In
Wyoming VIII Succumb to the
Cold and Starvation.

Denver, Feb. 1T is estimated that
$4,000 sheep in southern Colorado are
dying of cold and hunger. Many flocks
have been abandoned by the herders.
Another twenty-four hours of
weather such as has been sweeping
over Wyoming since Feb. l. and 80 per
cent of the cattle of Wyoming viii be
dead" said 3. Frank Hunter today.
The winter is without exception the
worst that has ever been experienced in
that part of the country. There is not
a shrub or bunch of grass Of any kind
visible between this city and western
Wyoming along the railroad. and IL
would be almost impossible for the cat
tie TO find anything TO eat. even if the
weather was warm enough to excite
them to such an attempt. All along the
line of the Union Pacific great white
stretches of endless prairie can be seen
dotted here and there with the car
cases of animals. Even should the
weather improve Immediately and the
snow clear off so that the cattle re-
naming can get something TO e2t. the
loss viii be almost incalCulabie. as
thousands of cattle are down already.
Those left standing are in the last
stages Of suffering from cold and hun
ger. They have reached the semi-con-
sciOus state. when they begin to look
for something as a support From the
car windows the cattle can be seen
leaning back against the fences. or
course, my information is only regard
ing the cattle along the railroad line,
but it is highly probable that the same
condition exists all over the state.
In eastern Colorado, 50 far as posi-
bue, range cattle are being fed. but if
the cold weather continues much lon
ger the supply of feed will be eX-
hauSted.

A New RumOr Anent the Short
Line.
IT'S REASONS FOR SECRECY
AN ALLEGED COMPACT NOT TO
BUILD SOUTH.
What the Result Will Be-Western
to Connect With Santa Fe-Work
On New Road Soon to Commence
Blockade Raised-Work of Pres
ident Jefery-Midland's Trouble.

An explanation of the great secrecy
maintained by the Oregon Short Line
in the Incorporation OF the Utah, Ne
vada & California was offered in rail-
way circles yesterday in the way of a
well-deined rumor, which, of course,
ended in vigorous denials by officials Of
the road. 1t was said that the Short
Line has broken an agreement entered
into with the Rio Grande Western, that
neither road should extend their south
ern lines within a certain length Of
time. That is, that the Western would
make no extension from Marysvale and
that the Short Line should do no build
ing south Of Milford.
That there ever has been such a COM
pact is strenously denied, but the re-
port certainly has color and this eN-
PLANTATION is altogether more Satisfac-
tory than that one 10 the effect that
the Short Line does not want the South
ern Pacific to know of its actions.
1t is admitted by those Of the new
road that there were reasons for not
delaying Incorporation any longer, pre-
Sumably because of a party of survey
ors now working in eastern Nevada,
but if the time agreed upon by the two
companies has not expired, the reason
for such secrecy is apparent The
names OF the real incOrpOratOrS We're,
of course, not affixed to the articles,
Short Line employees being substi-
tuted.
The road is one that has been under
contemplation for years past. but the
Short Line had not the money to build
until it again passed into the hands OF
the Union Pacific. Now, however, it is
stated officially that work will COM
mence as soon as the Utah q Pacific
reaches Stateline, which means that
the road through to the coast is not
far away.
1t was learned yesterday that when
the Utah, Nevada & California begins
work, the Rio Grande Western will. in
all probability, go ahead with the eX-
tension of its road from Marysvale- The
route laid out is from Sewer southwest
to a point about six miles from Beaver;
thence to Parowan, Cedar City and St
George, and, finally, across Nevada, to
a connecting point on the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, probably Ludlow.
The Westerns great advantage would
be in securing a direct connection with
southern California and the deposits of
iron, coal and sulphur along the route,
while it would give the Santa Fe an
other outlet of great Importance, and,
of course, that company is heart and
soul with the movement. A corps or
surveyors is now in TIE vicinity for the
Western, evidently prospecting for the
most advantageous details of the route.

Pacific will be abrOgated and the pro-
perty absolutely absorbed by the
Southern Pacific.

BLOCKADE IS CLEARED.
Has Cost the Denver & Rio Grande
Thousands of Dollars.

Denver. Colo, Feb. THE great snow
blockade on the Denver & ftio Grance
railroad in the canyon from the Grand
river has been broken. The company
is now accepting freight and passenger
business for Grand Junction and the
vest.
The blockade has cost the railway
company tens of thousands of dollars,
but at no time did the night cease, not
Withstanding the great difficulties pre-
scented by mighty winds and great
blankets Of snow which filled the air
for nearly a week past. Three rotarles
and nearly LOCO shOvelers, assisted by
a dozen powerful steam engines. were
necessary to break through the ava
lunches and clear the tracks.
The Denver & Rio Grande has had
nothing to compare with this great
storm since President Jeffrey assumed
CT arge of the system.
The Marshall Pass route IS also open,
and traffic is moving on the PRINCIPAL
branches of the Denver & Rio Crande.
1t is the opinion of the officers that
there will be no danger from future
slides this winter, as the loose snow has
come down, and has been thrown into
the river. Three special trains were
sent east from GlenwOod Springs to-
day, bringing all the passengers that
had been detained there, and they Will

The West minstrel troupe, after be-

The Colorado Midland has encOunt-

intense that men cannot endure to work

After weeks of toll the Colorado &
Southern has been forced to abandon
the effort to open the high line" be-

leading to the depots in order. The
matter was referred to the committee
on streets.
In response to a request from the
committee on public grounds, A. Schulz
thess submitted an estimate of the
cost of work TO be done. on Pioneer
square next spring. The cost of re-
moving trees from fence line. taking
up, planting and trimming trees, plow-
ing, narrowing and seeding for lawn,
and putting up a wire fence, Mr. Schulz
thess estimated at S435. He also rec
commended that man be employed
during the summer months to care for
the place.
After some discussion the sum of $500
was appropriated 10 improve the park.
The poundkeeper submitted his re-
port for December and January, as
follows: Stock sold, SS1.45; charges,
S1s1; damages, So. The report was filed.
Superintendent Game of the water
works department, submitted a report
showing that the expense in his depart
ment during January aggregated ST.
623.S1. Filed.
Clerk Diehl of the police court re-
ported that 20S cases were disposed of
in that court during January. The
amount collected from fines and forfeit
ures aggregated s1,4662O. Filed.
On request, Superintendent Game was
authorized to ask for bids for a carload
of pig lead.
Barnes introduced a resolution pro-
viding for the collection OF SIS. 1906 due
from the territory of Utah on account
of construction of the Capitol hill res
ervoir, the cost of which, it appears,
was to be borne equally by the city
and the territory. The total cost of the
reservoir was S22, 1854, of which the
city paid S15,O1427, being $S,7S6.05 more
than one-half the cost, which was
charged on the books of the city au-
ditor.
In passing the appropriation list
President Barnes voted negatively, for
the reason that it included an item of
$11.50 for LOCO letterheads for the
chairman of the board of public
works This bill a good many of the
members considered excessive, but in
the rush just before closing no one paid
much attention to the matter except
Barnes.

terday, at which Librarian Miss Chap
mans report for the month of January
was submitted.
Bills amounting to $5SO.22 were al

ance of $S51.S0. Practically the entire
tax levy for 1898 has been collected in

amount has been set aside for mainte-
nance. there will be quite q. handsome
balance available for the purchase of
books. The committee in charge of this
branch Of the work is now arranging a
new list.
The librarians statistical report
showed 63S6 books loaned out for house
use during the month, while 1888 were
issued for library use, making a gain in
circulation over the preceding month
of l ,0S5. The number of daily visitors is
estimated at 425. There We're $50 Dor

old petition" of the Utah Central Rail-
road company for a right Of way over
the state prison grounds. at a, cost OF
SIS. The printing of the petition was a
needless expense, even if authorized,
but no order for the work had been
given by the printing committee. Rep
resentaitive Jackson added that the
Tribune company claimed in juStifica-
ton that some one who pretended to be
Mr.. Jackson answered a telephone in
the petition Mr. Jackson disclaiined
any responsibility in the matter. The
facts revealed by the chairman of the

of the Tribune company.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectual Cure For It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompan-
led sometimes with sour or watery ris-
ings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs, and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and general
played-out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and, if the inter-
Tor OF the stomach could be seen, 1t
would show Shiny, infiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces OF the stomach To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have dis
appeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use, after
each meal, a tablet, composed of Di-
astase, AseDtic Pepsin, little NuX,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tab
lets can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and, not being a patent medi-
cine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion viii follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. J. Booher OF 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, MS, writes: 'Catarrh
is q local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane OF the nose becomes
infiamed, and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of stomach
without cure, but today I am the hap
