Forty Million Dollars in Money

AnAAAluA nuAAdIb III money
Have already been expended by the two power6h
companies that have undertaken the enterprise, and
there is no lack of funds for It's most vigorous prose-
cution.
The Union Pacific Company therefore orer their
First Mortgage Bonds to the public with the assu-
that they represent the largest aud ost
valuable corporate properties in the world inst
question asked by an investor is "Are the bonds
saief" The second, "Are they pro6table9" To
snBwer. In breh-
The eAny completion of the whole line is as GER
tain as any future business event can be.
q The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued upoB
what promses to be one Of the most profitable lines
OF railroad In the country. For many years it must
be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific;
and being without com petition, It can MAINTAIN re-
munerRtive rates.
The net earnings Of the sections already 6n,abed
several times greater than the gold interest upou
the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections and IL
not another mile of the road built, she part
already completed would not only pay interest and
expenses, but be profitable to the Company.
g. The Union Pacific Railroad Bonds can be issued
only as the road progresses and therefore never
be in the market unless they represent Gde pro-
psFty.
5, Their amount is strictly limited by law to q sum
equal TO what is granted by the U. q. Governments
and for which it takes a second lien as lts security
This amount upon the first 5l7 miles west from Omaha
Is Only $4,000 per mile.
c. The fact that the U. s. Government considers a
secOndlen upon the road good investment, and that
Of the shrewdest railroad builders OF the coun.
try have already paid In five million dollars upon
the stock (Which is to them third len), may well
inspire confidence In first lien.
7. Although 1t is not claimed that there be any
better securitie than Governments there parties
who consider first mortgage upon such O property
as this the very best security in the world who
sell their Governments to renvest in these bonds
thus securing greater interest.
8. AS the Union Pacific Railroad bonds offered
for the preseut at ninety the dollar and
accrued interest, they the cheapest security ia
the market being more than fifteen per cent less
than United Sta es stocks.

TuE NEW ATLAs.-Messrs. Pomeroy &
Beers, of Philadelphia, are now delivering
the new Atlas OF Delaware, heretofore no
ticed in these columns. 1t appears to be
lully up to the promise Of the publishers,
made, when canyassing the State for sub,
scrbers, and is in all respects creditable
acquisition to the Typographical department
Of our State. The whole plan Of the Atlas
is entirely new with our people, and is so
plainly set forth In outline and description
as TO be easily understood by everybody,
Every hundred, village and school district
is distinctly marked and NUMBERED, and a
vast fund OF local and general information
accompanies each page Of the work. The
low price Of the Atlas and its iullness oi
detail in all its departments should commend
1t 10 every Delawarean not only as a desira-
bic work, but as an absolute necessity.
MIR. Upton, the gentemsnly agent, is now
delivering the work to subscribers, and de-
sires us to return bis thanks TO our citizens
if,r the uniform courtesy he has received
during his business Intercourse with them
and would add that lie would esteem it as i
spccial favor If subscribers would have th'
money ready when the Atlas is delivered
The delivery is attended with expense
which could be greatly lessened If thos'
whose business calls them away from hom

BEBLApoSNA IN THE PUBLIC ScHooLs.-
One day last week physician in good stand
ing was hurriedly sent for TO attend little
girl, who had come home from school in
absolute convusiOns, filling in her time by
rolling over the floor and screaming like a
mad Indian. The doctor saw evident traces
OF some sort Of poison, and closely question
ed the young Miss rs 10 what she had eaten,
but received the reply, "Nothing While
he was prescribing for patient No. /, another
call came TO 90 II few squares away, where
he saw another little lady in the same fix as
the first, and while repeating the prescription
third call came, aud revealed a similar case
exactly.
These three happening In the same neigh
borhood aroused his suspicious, and while
he was unraveling the mystery, the parent of
No came IN, and said that alter the doctor
went away, her little girl confessed the cause
OF the trouble. The trio of incipient CO.
quotes had heard that belladonna would
make the eyes snap, and wishing 10 appear
| very bewilching, they had procured a small
phial, of which they partook inwardy and
then rubbed their eyes pleniiiully. The re.
suit can be imagined. One OF the girls was
totally blind for over twenty-iour hours,
which has fully cured her of the passion for
"snappng eyes" Belladonna is not ON the
