Money to be Made.

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the geeat publishing house
of George Stinson g. Co., of Portland Maine.
The reason of this unexceptional success is
found in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At present we
understand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well ON several new lines. They need
many more agents in all parts of the country
Those who need profitable work should ap-
ply at once. Women will do as well as men. i.
Experience is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stinson & Co undertake to show all who are
willing to work, not hard but earnestly, the
path to large success. H. should be remem-
beIed that an agent can do a handsome bust
ness Withhold being away from home over
night. Another advantage-it costs nothing
to give the business trial, and an agent
cad devote all his TINA, or only his spare
moments to it. Stinsou & Co. guarantee
grand success to all who engage and follow
simple and plain directions that they give.
We have not space to explain all here, but
full particulars will be sent free to those
who address the firm; their full address is

Luxurious Travel.

Through courtesy of the management Of
the Chicago and North Western Railway
Company the writer has had opportunity to
make thorough inspection of the new equip
ment placed in regular service between
Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis upon
their limited express.
These trains are limited only in the time
consumed between terminal stations. In
other respects they are available to all pas
sengers who pay the usual railway and sleep
ing car fares
The equipment of each train consists of
new first class coaches built by the Chicago
and North Western Company, handsomely
upholstered in crimson and old gold, with
all conveniences of toilet high back, luxu-
rious seats; the smoker model of practical
convenience, upholstered with leather; the
dining cars newly equipped and furnished
upon the regular North Western standard.
New palace sleeping cars built expressly
for these trains by the Wagner and Pullman
companies, each company seeking TO outvie
the other in excellence of construction,
venience and luxury, resulting in securing
to the patrons of the North Western un
rivaled safety and comfort
In addition to the foregoing features o.
attraction these new trains are UeSti6ulet
throughout.
The vestiJuIe feature in modern railwa.
travel has ceased to be novelty or expert
ment; its adoption by the Chicago and Nortl
Western management fixes its status as
practical, everyday adjunct to thorough,
first class travel, it being well known tina
the North Western managers, after deliberat
study and careful investigation, adopt sue
appliances as will promote in the highest dc
gree the comforts Of first-class travel. Con
sequently by process of natural selection
that class Of travellers who demand the bet
service and do not hesitate to pay for IL, al

and North Western Railway,

A Colorado Colony.

1t is proposed to organize colony of So
ber and industrious young men and men
with families, to settle upon some fertile
lands iu southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are Invited to send their names and
residence to either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessary for the sue
cess Of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with a climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for ir-
rigation, thus insuring successful soil cul-
ture.
A town will be laid out with lots for bus
iness and residence purposes, these last in
creasing in size as they recede from the bus
iness center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy Colony. Wide streets will be made
special feature of the town and suitable
reservations will be made for churches,
schools, public buildings and parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands.
Temperance is the basis of contsntment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prehibitory clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
this work, as the first year of colony life is
| of necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
chard and farm lands must be done and but
little in the way of crops, save for home sub
| sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses of organization, location of lands
etc., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. As soon as sufficient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken to complete the organization.
! 1t may not be out of place to state here
that the Colorado gentleman whose name is
appended to this call and who has agreed to
| join this enterprise, was connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns Of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,
and has had an experience of seventeen
years in the building of towns, irrigating
anals and the development of agriculture
and fruit growing in Colorado.
It is desirable, that settlement in the new
town be made as early as possible. Write
us at once of your intention concerning this
promising enterprise.
