ATTACK ON 3-CENT R. r.
.i.4 :, PASSENGER RATE.
Complainant Against the Union Pacific
Asks Commission to Fix an Equit-
able Interstate Fare.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Am attack was
made today on the three-cent a mile pas
senger rate of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company by Charles A. Sibley, a resident
OF the Stal.' of Nebraska. Sibley's COM
plant was filed with the Interstate COM
merce Commission and in its nature, is
practically unique in the history of the
commission.
The complaint alleges that the Union
Pacific Railroad exacts a rate of three
cents a mile from interstate passengers.
although within the limits of Nebraska,
1t charges a rate of only two cents a
mile. He says he travels from a point in
Western Nebraska through a part OF
Colorado, to another point in Nebraska,
and is required to pay the three-cent rate.
because the railroad ompany holds that
that Is interstate business, This. he as
serts. is n showing by the COMPANY of
undue preference to interstate passcn-
gers. and he asks tie commission to fix
a just maximum passenger rate which
the company shall charge on interstate
business.

The crowd then mixed in and shots
were exchanged. Four c%arbineers were
wounded. One of the manifestants was
killed and two were wounded.

to Mr.. Brown Hightower April 81,
1866 thus they were married for for
ty-one years, She professed hope in
Christ in 1872 and was baptized by
Rev. Alexander Buchanan and joined
the Second Baptist Church. She lived
consistent and faithful Christian for
thirty-ive years. She had eXtraordi
nary ability as a business woman
working by the side of her husband
and assisting him in planning and
managing his business for more than
thirty-five years, during which time
she never stopped a day for rest In
the conduct of her business, she was
universally known as upright and hon
est in all dealings, thus gaining the
respect and confidence of her patrons
AS a neighbor, Mrs. Hightower was
peaceable, quiet, patient and forgiv
ing, ever ready to help the poor and

AS wife and mother, Mrs. High
tower was devoted, gentle and ever
ready to do her full share of whatever
duty came by reason of her position
as wife or mother. Her devotion for
her lamented husband was especially
beautiful and pathetic. She seemed
never able to throw off &c any time
the sorrow caused by the death Of her
husband who died only three months
ago.
Mrs. Hightower was working
Christian. Few members of any
church were ever more successful in
raising money for the church and for
the cause of Christ than was Mrs.
Hightower. She not only gave liber-
ally and constantly of her own money,
but used her influence, working day
and night to get the other members
of the church to do their duty. She
was a friend to the pastor, ever ready
to sympathize with and to help him
in the discharge of his pastoral du.
ties. She has we'll won place among
those to whom the Heavenly Father
will say, well done, thou good and
faithful servant: enter thou into the
JOY Of thy Lord"
Mrs. Hightower fell sick on Friday
morning and grew rapidly worse. To
wards the end, she said to her faith

will come. Everything is all right.
She leaves to mourn her loss TIVE
brothers, a number of other relatives
and a host of sorrowing friends.

WHITE WOMAN FINED.

The City Court of any city possibly
has a larger variety of cases on its
docket than any other court. The
Nashville City Court, presided over
by Judge Baker, is not an exception to
the rule. Last Monday morning there
were sixty cases on the docket One,
however, proved to be quite interest
ing. 1t was the case of Mrs. B. Lally
who keeps a grocery store in East
Nashville. Mrs. Lally was charged
with tipping without license. In her
case two fines were assessed. One
fine of $4,000 on a charge Of tipping
on Sunday, and another of $4,000 on
the charge of tipping without license.
Another case was against Jake Hirsh-
berg, who keeps a saloon on Ewing
avenue. His case was tried and dis
missed Both of the prominent cases
were white.

LONGFELLOWS "HIAWATHA," AN
INDIAN LEGEND, RENDERED
AT WALDEN UNIVERSITY.

The Elocution Glass of Walden Uni
versity, under the direction Of Mrs. &.
w. S. Hammond, presented to the
public Longfellow's "Hiawatha," April
IL, at the Meharry Auditorium, and
the large crowd which was present
witnessed quite an enjoyable even
ing. The actors and actresses, all OF
whom are members of the elocution
class, played their parts well and re-
ilected much credit on the class and
their able directress.
Mr. S. j. McLemore, representing
Hiawatha, acted his part well and
was very amusing to the audience.
Miss S. Lindsey, representing Min
nehaha, was the favorite of the audi
ence, partly because she was the one
wooed, and partly because the audience
knew of the awful fate that awaited
her. She, meek and obedient, antici-
pated every wish Of her father, Mud
jukeewis (Mr. Frank O'Bannon) and
her lover Her death was very pa
thetic, attended by Hiawatha and her
grandmother, Miss Carry Young, who
was also a favorite of the audience.
One could never understand by
reading the production nor observing
it staged, why such beautiful life
should be attended by ghosts; how
ever the ghosts were quite ghostly and
played their parts well. No one, OF
course, could be expected to fall in
love with those tall, white-clad fig.
ures as they wandered about the death
chamber of Minnehaha, and the au,
dience was quite relieved when the
curtains shut out the view of the
ghostly sight
Mrs. Hammond deserves great
praise for this very excellent program
as well as for great skill in preparing
the same. Those who failed to wit
ness the production of said program
missed a rare treat.

THE USUAL SNEAK.

The Dcscret News having stated the
total income of the city for year at
$l64, ,444, then at s476,o0o, now hastens
to say that it meant all the time to re-
Fer only to the contingent fund and
not to the total revenue of the city.
But this is the first time that IT has
made any reference to contingent
fund or intimated that it did not mean
the whole revenue. That is to say. this
is the usual News crawl and sneak,
The News further states that our
proposition was that the total tax
levy "may be- eleven mills. Nothing
Of the kind. What The Tribune said
was that the total city tax levy actually
is eleven mills. 1t was so LAST year; 1T
was so the year before.
In all this matter, the Deseret News
has blundered frightfully, and has
shown TO the general public what was
known before TO everyone of dlscrlm-
nation. that the News has not the least
idea of what it is talking about.
Having gone so sadly wrong in ito
statement as to the city revenue, IT now
claims that it's statements Of the pros
pective expenditures of the city for
the next six months can be taken as
correct Not at all; but the contrary.
The clear fact is that the Deseret News
knows very little about what the ex-
penditures of the next six months will
be. They may be more or less.
The main thing In all this, that is
perfectly established, is that the Des-
eret News does not know anything
about the city's finances, its tax rate,
its income, or its expenditures. 1t is
mere babbling babe, without author
ity, sense, or discrimination.
The News correctly reports that the
authorities of the American party arc
considering the financial situation Of
the city. OF course they are. 1t is
their business to consider 1T. And they
will consider it in business.lke way,
and will bring everything out as busl'
ness men do in transacting their per
sonal affairs.
1t is astonishing that the Deseret
News should take so many different po-
sitions with respect 10 the income OF
the city, should be so emphatically In
sistent that each one of the false state
ments is correct, and should be so abus
i've of The Tribune for showing IN sue
cession the falsity of each one of them
Still, that is our painful duty and we
attend to it with such energy as is
compatible with the prevailing TEN
perature, And every time, we attend
TO it with such success as to make the
Deseret News squirm and howl.

SMOOT AN ENEMY OF UTAH.

A wiser man than Apostle Smoot has

in which the political favorite Of Joseph
