Thomas Berry. of Pittsburg, Pa, one of the
Duluth road contractors expresses to the
Red Wing Republican the opinion that res
erYo1rS OF natural gas underlie the surface of
the country in this section in many places.
The geological formations here. he believes.

natural gas has been found heretofore and
he sees no reason why the gas should not be

Considerable curiosity is expressed over

LOCAL MENTION.
To Southern PeOple

Spending the summer at Northern
watering places, either for health or
pleasure, Excelsior Springs, Mo-, offers
most desirable resting place on their
return homeward. 1t is situated twenty
five miles northeast from Kansas CITY,
on the Chicago & Kansas City line of
the Chicago, MilN aukee d st. Paul
railway, which road runs frequent
suburban trains between Kansas City
and this place. There is no medicinal
water in the country SO efficacious as it
for the specialties to which it is best
adapted, namely: All kidney and
urinary difficulties, rheumatism, dropsy,
dyspepsia, alcoholism and general de-
bility. Persons who have had chronic

'The Elms" is without peer in ex-
cellence among all the hotels or water
ing places, or health or pleasure resorts
in the entire country. 1t has two hun
dred rooms, spacious, airy, elegantly
finished and furnished, thoroughly ven
tilated and supplied with all modern i'm
provementS, including elevator and
other indispensables for comfort. The
table is unsurpassed both in excellence
and quality of cuisine. The hotel is sit
uated on an elevated plateau, command
ing fine view of the country, which
abOunds in beautiful scenery, and there
is health and pleasure in the very at
mOsphere.
To Northern people going to far
Southern resorts to spend the winter,
this also offers an agreeable and salu-
tary resting point on their journey
thither; being midway between the eX-
tfemes of climate, the place is very de-
sirable from sanitary standpoint. The
same remark applies to Southern people
en- route to the North in the spring.
The drives about the springs are most
pleasant and enjoyable. There is
good livery to be had at all times at
reasonable prices, and everything about
the place is conducted on the ''live and
let live" principle.

the springs and their advantages ad-
