within the past year put seventy-three libraries
aboard vessels mailing from this and neighbor-

can spare for this object will confer great
favor upon the sailors by notifying Mr. South

REAL ESTATE AND RAILROAD BoNDs.-The
attention of those having money to invest and
those who wish to increase their income from
funds already invested in other securities is
called to the prospectus of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Loan published elsewhere. The
ample and tangible character of the security

by the fact that the company is now placing
on the market large body of its fertile lands
amounting to millions of acres, situated in the
great State of Minnesota.
