The special correspondent of the Salt

ing from Ogden under date of April 81:
Under the auspices of Ogden lodge

cert was given at Toller's academy by
the Polmatier sisters tonight. There
are five of these ladies and all of them

all are instrumentalists. They were
aided by Mr.. Charles w. Hitchcock,
in character sketches, and were list.
ened to by an audience of fully 500,
among them being sixty little girls,
who recently participated in the Elks'
minstrel show. After the concert a
grand ball was given in the same
room, at which 120 couples were pres

The W~atertown, S. D., Daily Public
Opinion says:
over 1000 people heard the wonder

Notes from the ROLLING Mills


Barreling of track bolts and nuts be-
gan today.
Babe Hodgeman is in charge of the
large rifier.
Jesse Oakley was added to the nut
room force this morning.
The third nut machine was placed in
commission this morning.
w. C. Weigel, travelling timekeeper
for the system, was at the office this
morning.
Three bolt threading and one nut
threading machines were running to-
day full tilt.
Manager Jacobus was around quoting
five of six different kinds of languages
in the exuberance of his spirits at see
ing things moving so nicely today.
The big mill started this morning
on breakdown for the little mill, and
will probably run all week. The mill
worked very nicely and a large amount
of iron was turned out. Five-inch
flats is the form produced.
The pile driver was at work rebuild
ing the trestle this morning, and it is
likely the little mill will not be again
started until the trestle has been re
built, as there is no other way of get
ting a supply of coal for the furnaces.

CHAPLAIN STULL AT
uEonrn orrNEI~-,

Chaplain Stull of the Eleventh Unit
ed States infantry at Cheyenne was
the speaker at the university vesper
services yesterday afternoon, being
greeted by a very large and interested
audience, the cadets of the university
in uniform forming a part of the audi
ence. Chaplain Stull, who is every
inch a soldier as well as an excellent
speaker and an earnest preacher, took
the pains to have the cadets seated in
a body in the auditorium, and much
of his talk was for their benefit, al
though it all was listened to by the
cadets and others. Captain Heavey
was the soloist of the afternoon. He
is also an officer of the Eleventh, and
he n the chaplain are warm friends.
Chaplain Stull spoke of power and the
proper. way to use it, urging the young
men and to strive for the bet
ter things of life-to see that they are
as strong in an intellectual way as
their excellent environments will war
rant. Last evening the chaplain was
the speaker at the Methodist church.
in the absence of the pastor, Rev.
Bross, who is i'll. Chaplain Stull was
the guest of Captain and Mrs. Heavey
during his stay in the city.

TIES FOR
NEW LINE
CONTRACT GIVEN TO TEAMsTER
TO DISTRIBUTE ENOUGH TO
BUILD PLAINS RAILROAD.
When Track Mas Laid Only Half
Enough Ties Were Used, Present
Contract Including Enough to
Make Road Solid-Morgan Enters
at Once Upon Monster Job.

The Laramie, Hahns Peak and Pa
cific Railway company has let a con
tract to d. ID. Morgan for the hauling
of a sufficient number of ties to full
tie that part of track built, which is
now a distance of about ten miles out
from Laramie, says the Centennial
Post. When this portion of the track
was put down the rails were laid on
only half the required number of ties
to make a perfect foundation, but the
ties will now be inserted at the proper
intervals a fast as the contractor can
haul and distribute them, this, there
fore, making a standard roadbed.
Ties for New Portion.
The contractor will also haul and
distribute ties along that portion of the
right of way where rails are yet to be
laid, for in this case, too, there are
now only a sufficient number of ties
along the graded route to half-tie. The
ties will be hauled from a large sup
ply which are now stored in the May
field, near Centennial, and it is quite
an undertaking, for the contract prac-
tically means the hauling by teams of
half the required number of ties to
build twenty-five miles of railroad
from the May field to Laramie. Nor
gan started to fulfill his contract i'm
mediately upon receiving notice from
the railroad company.

NEW MANAGER FOR
The LIGHT COMPANY

Mr.. Kempton has succeeded Mr..
Dobbins as manager of the electric
light company here. He is a young
1lan, a college graduate, and will make
a valuable addition to the society and
business circles of the city. The boil
ers of the electric light plant have
been placed in position, but the storm
is interfering somewhat with progress
of the buildings. Mr.. w. b. Sutphin
was about the city today ascertaining
the probable moun Of power which
would be used in the event of estab-
fishing the day current. The posi-.
bility of establishing a commercial
heating plant in connection with the
light station will be considered in con-
n~ection with the day current project.
Both will be established if deemed pro.
fitable.

Three Shocks This Morning.
Within three hours this morning
three shocks of earthquake were felt
in San Francisco. They were not very

The strain has been so great that
these shocks seem like the last straw,

The water supply today is ample and
