The importance of the announce
ment that all agree to the plan of
Central Pacific REIMBURSEMENT, can
not be overestimated. in the first
place it means that G. p. Huntington
has won, and the rumors that the
Vanderbilts would take the Central
Pacific or some other syndicate would
control it,, will go for naught. 1t
may have an important bearing also
on the new line to Los Angeles, for
now that Huntington has bought at
so high a figure, he will have to
adopt a new policy, that of bettering
the Central Pacific. With the latter
being pushed to the front, it means
that the local conditions will be more
closely watched by the Southern Pa
ciic, and as competition would hurt
both their lines, it may be necessary
for them to build that line, Long is
surveying.
All arguments in the past have
been given with the thought that the
Central Pacific would be lost by the
Southern Paci6 Tribune.

Accident to Wife of Utah & Pacific
Agent at Lund

R. L. Noef, agent at Lund is in the
city with his wife. The latter met
with painful and serious accident
on Tuesday night. She was lying
down reading, when jarring of the
temporary quarters used by the
agent caused a bit # iron to fall
from the ceiling and hitting her fair
ly in the eve, causing such wound
that it is very likely her eye will have
to be removed. The accident is de-
plored by the many friends of the
couple at the end of the track, as
well as their older friends in railroad
circles. s.-Tribune.

Utah mines are taking higher and
higher rank every day. Men are
dropping in here all the time from
the Eastern States, asking about
them; inquiries are coming in by let
ter every day, and, come to look
around, the fact is made plain, that
with the exception of Cripple Creek, !,
which is about all reduced now to
the control of settled companies,
there is not spot in the country on
which the attention of mining men
Is half so much concentrated as ii is
upon Utah. And the reasons why
are plain enough. The mines here
are more numerous and average bet

By April 18th. Escalante will be
reached and trains will therefore be
operated to that point next week.

Mr.. West announces quite little

was decided to create tho permanent

Milford. This is near the line but
in the State of Nevada and for the
Utah & Pacific to terminate there IT
would mean an extra Incorporation

Thoughts Of Able Editors Abroad.

The appeal issued to the
Governors, Legislatures and
Judicial officers Of the Southern
States by the Afro-American
Council of the Council of the
United States, ought to receive
the attention OF those bodies and
individuals to the extent of actual
work in ameliorating the con-
dition of the Negro in this
country, and especially in that
section to. which the appeal is
directed. We confess our short
comings and deplore and condemn
the acts of violence committed by
some identified with us. We have
been doing this.
There is certainly no reason
for lynch-law. all. things con-
sidered. We ask our public
officials to hearken to the appeal
of our brethren in our behalf. We
feel confident that the Christian
hearted white people will support
us in our efforts to secure peace
and order. You have told us to
lecture and warn the miscreant
class against violence. We have
done and are doing SO. Will you
aid us in obeying and advising
obedience to the law9-The

most of us have just that mediocre leg

II lies in the hands of each to improve

for there are selfmade men physically
as well as financially; those who, be-
cause of ancestral wastefulness, have
only a sixpence Of health and turn it
into fortune; and there are spend
thrifts of health who come to as sor-
rowful case as spendthrifts of gold.

An army nurse but lately returned
from Cuba TO Washington declares that
never again will she go to a country
whose language she cannot understand,
reports the Washington Post. It was
before hostilities had come 70 definite
end that she was startled one day by fhe
unexpected visit Of her Cuban laun-
dress. The woman was intensely ex-
cited. Anxiety sat on her brow and
sorrow dwelt in her eyes. She gesticu-
lated and she talked. The nurse knew
not word of what she said, but the
pantomime filled her with terror. The
Cuban's hands seemed TO speak of an at
tack on the hospital-of wounded men
butchered and nursescut TO ribbons. The
nurse was frantic. She must know the
worst. In the hospital was an officer
very i'll with typhoid fever. She knew
he understood Spanish. Only in mat
ter of life and death would she disturb
him, but this was obviously q matter of
life or death. She led the Cuban woman
TO the bedside and there the story was
repeated. The officer listened intently.
The nurse held her breath. The Cuban
ceased. The sick man turned his head
on the pillows.
She says" he whispered feebIy, "she
says the stripes in your pink shirt waist
have run, and she doesn't know what to
do with it."
That same nurse confesses 70 having
been desperately homesick down In
Cuba.
