St. Louis is attracting general attention as
being the shortest and most desirable wav TO
reach the far West This great metropolis of
over 10000 inhabitants. located in the Valley
of the Mississippi, the mouth Of the Mis-
souri, river, watering upwards of 600 miles
of country, lays invitingly in the shortest pos
sible route between the East and great West,
formed by the St Louis Kansas City and North
ern Short Linz, and connections. This line reaches
all the greatland grants of the West and runs
two more trains between the Mississippi and
Missouri Rivers than any other road The
enormous expenditure of over two million dol
lars, besides earnings, on roadway, in relay
ing new steel and iron rails, on broad new
ties, and in new equipment, supplied with all
modern Improvements to contribute to COM
fort, speed and safety has made it, in all re-
spects, the best road in the country. A great
promoter of comfort to passengers is the sub
stitution for ordinary cars, Of reclining chair
coaches, elegantly carpeted, with dressing
rooms for ladies, gentlemen and families ira
Yelling with children, seithouf any extra charge.
We cordially commend the route through St.
Louis to the West, over the st. Louis, Kansas
City and Northern Short Line. as the shortest
and best, and feel assured that every ticket
agent who sells through tickets to Kansas,
Colorado, Nebraska, Utah and California will
fully corroborate our commendation of its
excellence, it being the only line running

why Army REead.Quarters were
Removed.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
The fact is, we apprehend, the true
reasons for a removal OF the army head
quarters. and the general of the army
from Washington do not lie in the diff
culties of managing the army, but in
those of managing the general himself.
Our able and distinguished general-in-
chief has none of the elements which the
President of the United States finds so
congenial in his cabinet officers. Sher-
man is a man of ideas, of quick, alert
temper, and of boundless energy and in
dependence of character. That easy,
law t,.soucidnee which forms, it is said,
so prominent a characteristic in the Off
ciaI circles at Washington under their
present head, is the very antipodes of
what Sherman likes himself and looks
for in other men. It may be, as men
say, that he belongs to- the genus irritable,
and breaks forth into protests and out
bursts of opinion more energetic than
polite, when military affairs. are misnan-
aged or are not managed to suit him. 1t
is no wonder, we think, that man so
competent by experience and intellect for
having entire actual control of the army
should chafe a little when the titular
commander-in-chief in the presidential
chair transmits orders directly to a
captain or colonel in Arkansas, instead
of letting them pass through army head
quarters.

At certain seasons meteors dart across the
armament between the earth and the fixed
stars, But they quickly vanish, while the
fixed stars remain. In the medical firma-
ment the great vegetable invigorant, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters has long been a f1ed
star of the first magnitude. Little meceors, in
the shape of limitations. bearing various
names, now and then attempt glimmering
com petition with it, but they soon disap-
pear from the field of vision, leaving
the glory of the true remedy unimpaired.
The number of these will-o-th e-wisps that
have come to grief within the last twenty
years is beyond computation, and those now
in existence are in the last agonies of extin-
guishment. The standard tonic and altera-
tive, that cures and prevents SO many dis
tressing diseases, and which no debllitated
invalid ever took without receiving a Won
derful accession of strength and vitality, only
derives increased popularity from the at

DR.. SCHENCK's PULMoNFc SYRUP, SEA
WEED TOXIC AND MASDR4kE PILLs.-These
medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of consum Dtion that any ther remedy
known TO the American public. They are
compounded of vegetable ingredients, and
contain nothing which can be injurious 10
the human constitution. Other remedies
advertised as cures for consnmT tion, proba-
bly, contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken
freely by eonsumptiv. patients, it must do
great injury; for its tendency is to confine
the morbid matter in the system, which, OF
course, must make a cure impossible.
Schenck's Pulmonie Syrup Is warranted not
TO contain particle ofopium. 1t Is compose d
of powerful but harmless herbs. which ac-
on the lungs, liver, stomach, and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions. and expel
all the diseased matter from the body. These
are the only means by which consumption
can be cured, and as Schenck's Pnlmonic
syrup, Sea Weed Tonic aud Mandrake Pills
are he only medicines which operate in this
way, it is obvious they are the only genuine
cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each
bottle of this invaluable medicine is accom-
panied by full directions. DIR. Schenck is
professionally at his principal office, corner

Monday. where all letters for advice must

a sleeping Car Struck by Light
Inc mmd Partially Torn 90 Pieces.
From the Kansas CITY News.

From the Kansas City News
A remarkable accident happened to the
eastward bound passenger train on the
Kansas Pacific road Saturday last, while
driving along a few miles west Of Wal
lace, and one that for a few minutes
spread CONSERVATION among the pas
sengers. During rain storm, with light
snow, loud explosion was heard in the
rear car, and the train came 10 an almost
dead halt instantly. The front end of
the sleeping car, which was empty. was
found to have been blown almost to pieces
by the explosion, heavy iron bars being
bent and twisted, and great oak timbers
lay rent and torn into splinters- At first
it was thought can of nitro-glycerine
had been placed in the cars by some
means, but afterwards lady remembered
that there was bright fash of lightning
simultaneous with the explosion, and the
theory generally accepted was that a bolt
of electricity had struck the car and
caused the damage, The front end of
the sleeper was a total wreck, and the
rear end of the car next in front was also
badly damaged. A few minutes before
the explosion passenger had been lying
down IN the front part or the sleeper, but
left it just in time to save his life.
