New Coaches.

The Rock Island s. Peoria Rail way
company have just received two elegan,
coaches direct from the Pullman company
at Detroit, Michigan. These coaches are
what might. with propriety, be termed
double-seated chair cars. The seats are
of the latest improved style, elegantly
upholstered, and so fashioned that one
can occupy a reclining position and
make his journey with comfort and
ease. The interior of the coaches
is finished in white walnut, the
light colored veneeriug being very
beautiful and richly ornamented. Each
coach is lighted with four double
lamps of beautiful design and large
mirrors are to be seen at either end of the
Car. The windows are large and curtains
supply the iplsce of blinds. A wood
stove is placed in each end of the coach,
the same being so constructed that no
fire can escape even though The coach
should turn bottom side up, and the stoves
when locked cannot be opened save by
the person who has the key. Every ap>
pointment is most complete and of the
latest Improvement. The exterior of the
car is in keeping with the interior, and.
taken as a whole. are as fine as any
coaches in the country. They will be
run on the main line, one on each of the
day passenger trains between Rock ISL
and and Peoria.

Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state Of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow reaction Of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,

Miss Florence Williams; piano and VIC

and Miss Annie Laurie as Widow Bedott
