Mrs. Cunningham is reported as do

in favor of her recovery. but 4 knife

dangerous thing, and it is impossible
to tell With certainty al the present time

According to the story told by Cum

bing, he returned to his home near the
Big Butte at about . o'clock this morn

had been. He tried to tell her, but
she asked MIN II ne was not at a res

that he was not. and told her where he

and his wife struck him again.
Cunningham said that he was in the

IN EACH OTHERS ARMS

For many years Thomas Marshall and
his wife Susan ave walked along the
pathway of life hand in hand, together
passing milestone after milestone. Now
that their journey is over, they are to-
gether STILL, with their arms around
each other they have answered the sum-

down into the. Valley of Shadow.
Shortly after 10 o'clock last evening
John w. Marshall, a son of the aged
couple, who lives with his family at
No. FOG North Washington street,
walked to the doorway of the room
occupied by the two old people and
called to his father. There was no re-
Spouse. and walking into the room he
took his father by the hand 1t was
cold in death. Picking his mother up
in his arms, he rushed to a window.
The feeling of the son cannot be des-
cribed when he saw that she, too, a
passed to her final reckoning.
Hoping against hope, Marshall placed
the lifeless form of his mother back in
bed and rushed out in search of a ply
sician. When the physician arrived he
saw at a glance that the time for hui
man aid was past. Coroner Brown was
notified, and after making an investi-

sister, Mrs. Ellen Downs, and his par

the house shortly afterwards and did

Thomas Marshall was born in Ire
land and Mrs. Marshall in New Bruins

for almost half a century and have
lived with their son in this city since
the year 1898. The two old people were
very devoted to each other and both
were devout religionists, regularly at
tending St. Patrick'S church.
There is nothing pointing to foul play,
but the circumstances surrounding the

will be held on Monday evening. In the

THE RAILROADS.

AS a result of the conference in Omaha
between officials of the Union Pacific,
Oregon Short Line and Oregon Railway
& Navigation company, an order will be
issued deposing all representatives of
the first-named cad now stationed at
Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City and
Ogden. The plan is to have the officials
of the Short Line and the Navigation
company attend to the business of the
Union Pacific as Well as their own at
points in their territory, thus cutting
down expenses, the three lines being
practically under one ownership.
Nobody will lose his position said
MIR. Eccles, in answer to a question by a
Salt Lake Herald reporter. 1T is mere
ly a case of having the Union Pacific men
report to the Short Line here. They Will
remain in their present positions AMI
quarters. The men at Portland are just
as safe
AT Portland three sets of offices have
been maintained, ali working to the same
end. 1t is in the interest of economy
that they are to be consolidated, and as
the bulk of business is, of course, in the
hands of the Oregon Railway & Navi-
CATION company at that point, their Of
ficers are naturally the ones to rematn.
There are a dozen or more men employ
ed in these offices, hut so far as known
every one of them will be taken care Of
in some other place. The Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation company can make
room for some of them in the agency At
Portland.
Another question of vital importance
was considered, namely, the Ogden gate

General Passenger Agent Heintz of the
Rio Grande Western, has returned to
Salt Lake from st. Louis. wwhere he at
tended the ~protracted meeting of the
Transcontinental Passenger Association.
"A tremendous mount of business was
disposed of with expedition" said he,
when the convention ran against the Ep-
worth League snag. 1t seems that the
League members secured the impression
from the santa Fe and Southern Pacific,
the coast terminal lines, that the rate
from Chicago to the San Francisco con-
Vention next February would be $50 for
The round trip. The other railroads want
ed Il rate of one fare for the round trip,
ari in the warm debate that followed the
leaguers threatened to hold their con-
Nention somewher this side of San
Francisco. This was a rather serious
threat. II it set the Ogden lines to
guessing. We do not oppose so much the
rate proposed by the leaguers. but what
we DO want is a fair understanding as to
how rates will be applied by certain lines.
The northern lines were not represented
at the meeting and in order TO get a
statement from them the association adj
journed until Friday to Chicago,at which
time the northern lines, it is hoped, Will
be represented"
Mr.. HeintZ made one of the principal
addresses at the meeting for the Ogden
lines. which included almost every road
entering Denver One thing he put
through was the privilege of excursion
lists staying over in Salt Lake either go
ing or coming.

1t is said that graders are soon to be
put on between Nyssa in the Short Line
and the town of Vale, Oregon. For some
time it has been known that the com
pany has been arranging for work M
where along it's projected line but this
is the first information reaching this
place that the field of operations for the
future is likely to be SO far east. That
line, formerly Known as the Oregon Pa

Boise. For some years it has been The
impression that if it were ever construct

lyncbing occurred. Let the amount of said
damages be made sufficiently large to engage
public opposition to the payment thereof, and
let the right OF recovery be predlcated alone upon
the fact that the lynehing was done in the county
where the recovery Is sought. II Is not unusual
that prisoners are taken by mobs from Jail and
from the custody OF the officers without resist
ance and lynched. 1 commend to the further
serious consideration OF the legislature the ex-
pediency of providing by law that the office OF
sheriff or constable shalt become vacant, ipso
facto, whenever any prisoner is taken from the
jail or the lawful custody Of such officer or his
deputy and lynched. In my Judgment the time
and occasion are here for SON such stringent
measure, and 1t is to be hoped the Legislature
will prove Itself equal thereto.
State Farm.
Mississippi has for a number Of years en-
ployed her convicts In farming, from which
source she has received annually large net in
comes Of money. By the employment also OF
her own agents to control them and to direct their
labor she has been able to protect her prisoners
from undue severity OF treatment, and In both
Instances has proven the wisdom Of the farming
system. The State now owns several farms
giving employment to an inconsiderable number
Of her %convicts, but most Of them, by far, are
worked on lands belonging to individuals, which
have either been rented by the board Of control
or worked on shares, with profit both TO the
owners Of said lands, and to the State. The
board OF control, with Gov. McLaurln as its
president. in its report to the present Legislature
recommended by unanimous vote, as l am ad-
vised, the purchase by the State Of a tract Of
wild lands to be gradually cleared by ~convicts
in the Yazoo- Mississippi Delta of s%uflcien,
acreage to enable the State ultimately to give
employment to all its prisoners. without the
