nation was Monona county, and they

guessing at the number, the estimates be-

question was finally settled by an individ-
ual, who approached the edge of the side
walk and hailed man ON horseback with,

The American People.

No people in the world suffer so much
with Dyspepsia as Americans. Although
years Of experience in medicine had failed
to accomplish a certain and sure remedy
for this disease and its effects, such as
Sour Stomach, Heartburn, Watcr-brash,
Sick Headache, Costivencss, palpitation
of the Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up
of tee food, low spirits, general debility,
ETC., yet since the introduction of GREEN'S
AUGUST FLOWER we believe there is no
case of Dyspepsia that cannot be immedi-
ately relieved. 10000 dozen sold last
year without one case of failure reported

ACHIEVEMENT OF THE GREAT
LIGHTNING EXPRESS,
From Ocean to Ocean In so Hours--
What 1T Tonchos--Our Centennial
Year.

What 1T TonchCs-.Our Centennial
Year.
The accomplishment of the extraordin-
airy run from New York to San Francisco
in 80 hours, and almost one-thlrd of the
entire distance over the TT. Wayne &
Pennsylvania Railway, was most fitting
fulfillment of the promises made by the
management of this great line, that IN the
One Hundredth year of our existence as a
Nation, a railway, for the completeness of
its structure, the perfection of its equip
ment, the exact eXpedients for speed, all
modern improvements for comfort and in
genious combinations for safety, on the
face of the globe, should be the Great Fl.
Wayne & Pennsylvania Road How well,
truly and faithfully has that promise been
kept, may be judged by the browning
triumph in the great race against time of
the Jarrett & Palmer Special San Francisco
Train, which run from New York to
Chicago in less than 81 hours-a distance
of 912 miles. 444 miles between New
York and Pittsburg, was run by one loco
maotipe, and Dithout a single stop-a feat
entirely without precedent in the annals
of railway history, and teaches us that
nothing is impossible ON the Great Fl.
Wayne & Pennsylvania Railroad, and
that it has outstrlpped the progressive
railway rivals, not only of America, but
of the Old World Foreign newspaper
correspondents, visiting our Centennial,
overlook the great Exposition and its
world of wonders, and fill their first
homeward- bound letters with the advanced
ideas of the Pennsylvania & Fl. Wayne
Railway system, and invariably and I'M
hesitatingly pronounce it the model rail
way of the world, and Americas fitting
representative of rational engineering,
shrcwd official observations, and the early
adoption of all ideas advancing the inter
ests and comforts of its patrons. Pull
mans New Sleeping, Drawing Room and
Hotel Cars, are run upon all trains, and
the line being many miles the shortest
from Chicago to New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington, the advan-
tage of low fares are in its favor. 1t
must be borne in mind that the Fl. Wayne
& Pennsylvania trains run direct to all the
above cities, and into the Centennial
grounds. Low fare tickets man be pur-
chased at the General Office, IS Clark
street, Chicago, or at the Depot, and in
formation, by mail, furnished.
