The popularity of The Great Rock Island

time since taken first place as the peoples
favorite between the lakes and the noun

crease its present splendid service by the adj
dition of a train that is one night on the

as the ROCKY MOUNTAIN LIMITED and
will be put in service May first. Leaves Chi
cago daily at 1O:45 A. NJ. arriving at above
cities in the afternoon of the next day, earlier
than any of it's competitors. Especial equip
ment has been built for this train, with the
view of making it a LIMITED in every sense of
extra charge. The route of this exceedingly
fast train is by the Rock Island Short Line,
and few of the large cities through which it
passes are Davenport, Des Moines, Council
Belleville, Phillipsburg, Smith Centre, Colby
and Goodland. This makes it most desira-

DEATH OF MRS. dorado TAFT.

Mrs. dorado Taft died in Evanston,
ILL.,, on Saturday, April 10, after a
very short illness. St. Johnsbury
people remember her as Miss Caro-
line l.. Scales, daughter of the late
Rev. William Scales and native of
Lyndon. The Evanston paper says !;
Her education was principally OBJ
tanned in the ST. Louis schools and
at Oberlin She also studied two
years while the family were abroad.
Miss Scales met dorado Taft in
Paris and the acquaintance there be-
gun ripened into marriage year
ago last October. Mrs. Taft was a
young lady of fine heart and mind, a
person of excellent culture and fine
tastes, of an exceptionally bright and
lovable disposition. She made
friends of all with whom she became
acquainted. AS a member of the
First Congrega tional church she was
active in the young peoples work,
and for some time had charge of the
children's missionary organization
of the church.
The funeral was held the following
Tuesday, conducted by her pastor.
Rev. DIR. E. 2. Goodwin of Chicago,
a relative of the family, made the
principal address and Rev. DR.. H.
A. Stinson of Pilgrim church, Mrs.
Taft's former pastor, was also pres
ent and made a few remarks. The
floral tributes were very elaborate
Mrs. Taft was a very talented lady
and her old friends in this vicinity
will be panied to learn of her death.
Much sympathy will be expressed
for the mother, who is also we'll
known in these parts.
