Salt Lake Letter.
Editoii Hkralu: I started from Oin
aha Tuesday at 2 o'clock and came to
Denver, then took the Rio Grande and
came across the mountain at or near
Pikes Peak. At some future time will
tell you more about the sights I paw.
I will stay here till 4 o'clock this even
ing and go on to Portland. When I
arrive there will tell you about what I
raw on the journey. I assure you the
sights are wonderful to behold. The
most magnificent sight is the great
mountains covered with perpetual snow.
To climb the high mountains in the
cars to the hight of 1 1.000 feet above
sea level and be in the winds of winter
cold is something Strang for May.
The passengers got out of the care
and had a game of snow-balling.
Salt Lake is something worth seeing

Chicago, May 13. Special Telegram
to the Bee. The era of $1 rates is at
hand. It was inaugurated today by the

n.anMii .viiy mm rsi. JjOuis. word was
also received that the Ohio it Mississippi
had quoted the same rate between Cin
cinnati and St. Louis, though no explana
tion of the reduction could be learned.
Early ia the day the nu t the $1 rate
from Kansas City to Chicago, but later
countermanded the notice. The Alton
now has as companions the Burlington

situation as bad as possible and thus ob
tain a settlement. All agree that a sea
son of $1 rates is the only way out of the
difficulty.

IIknhy J. Stk eight, P. M.
The Louisville Courier Journal says
that Young Degendorfer, while planting
corn near Plattsmouth, was so blinded
by the meteor which fell in western Iowa
last week that he could not see to work
until the next day. This was C. Whop
per's meteor, it wasn't the IIkkai.d me
teor seen by Mr. .bhns and Mr. Shoemaker.
Prof. Rakestraw.
Some two thousand years ago Cicsar
wrote: "All Gaul is divided into three
parts." That shows the ignorance of
Cii'sar or the need of a revision to his
famous commentaries. Had he lived
in tins community, and written in our
day he would have said: "All Gall is
concentrated in Prof. Rakestraw."
The Professor is quoted as saying that
he would now accept the position of
superintendent of the schools only upon
the following conditions:
That Prof. Ostrom resign and cease
his connection with the schools; that the
board of education resign; that the peo
ple elect an entirely new board upon the
issue thus made; that such new board
unanimously tender him the position of
superintendent. - Then he would prob
ably accept.
All men have a streak of sublimity in
their natures. With Prof. Rakestraw it
is bigger than a streak, it is a broad
glare of sublime cheek.
Unless the Professor can be induced
to reconsider his determination it is
much to be feared that our schools will
be gall-darned. Nebraska City Press.
Jumbo social Friday evening in the
Y. M. C. A. rooms. Everyone invited
to attend. l'J4-3t
A news reporter of Ft. Worth after
hearing Sam Jones pteach, criticised him
in a manner that made Sam wrothy.
Jones chanced to meet him and raked
him over the coals as follows:
"I knew your folks in Nrth Carolina.
They are good members of the church;
why don't you do better, you old long,
hungry look in g senpe grace, you? your
old nose looks like suspension bridge and
your shoes like ferryboats. Your old
fingers look like a muckrake, and your
neck is stringy. I wouldn't be as mean
as you are for six bits, you old pale
gawk you. S'pose old Brother South
gate could see you now. Ain't you a
dandy. If you was kin to mc I'd make
you dn better or I'd mash your mouth,
you old reporter, you old news noser,
you old Jones jotter you. I'd fix you,
you old lopeared backslider you."
"Peggy's Navy-yard," by Charles Led-

showing different stages in the building

pensive witchery" of his song.
