SURPRISES EASTERN RAILROADS.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul has become one of the most
popular railroads In the country. In
the conveniences and accommodations
which 1t offers to travellers it Is unsur-
passed, and 1t is gratifying to know
that this fact finds recognition, not
ouly throughout the northwest but in
the east Az well. DR., John Fulton,
editor Of Tho Church Standard, of
Philadelphia, In writing to his paper
from Minneapolis, while attending the
Episcopal triennial convention, had
the following complimentary words
for the Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul
company, which will be appreciated
by all who are accustomed to travelling
over It's lines
"Tiavcl In the Northwest has also
wonderfully improved. The Chicago,
Milwaukee q st. Paul Halfway rivals
and surpasscs the best railways that
are to be found In the East in the con
veniences and comforts which IL
places at the disposal of Its patrons
Nowhere else In the country, think,
can there be found such perfect
accommodation as our party had in
the nights travel from Chicago to
Minneapolis on one of the beautiful
sleeping coaches of that road"

"THE STRANGER AT OUR GATES"

The large audience which greeted
the renowned lecturer Jahu Dewitt
Miller, at opera hall, on Monday even
ing, clearly demonstrated the fact that
the efforts Of the members of the
Woman's Reading Club to secure an
excellent lecture course are appreciat-
ed. No larger nor more representative
audience ever greeted a lecturer In
Mineral Point. Mr.. Miller's subject
was "The Stranger at our Gates"
His stranger Is the foreigner who seeks
admission to these shores. The lecturer
is able and very interesting. He is
possessed Of a marvellous use Of Ian
gauge, and hc held the large audience
In rapt attention. from the beginning
to the close While, in the main, the
lecture was interesting and instructive,
In some Of the sentiments expressed
there was smack Of jingoism, com
mon to those who have an unreason-
able antipathy to foreigners. His
lecture In this respect does not voice
the best American sentiment. 1t
also smacks Of agnosticism, which
does not add to its power. We dislike
to offer word Of adverse criticism
upon lecture secured for the purpose
of affording pleasure and profit to our
people, but must on this occasion in
dulge In an Unborn propensity of hit
ting the head of jlngoism or agnosti
cism, whenever or wherever we see 1t.
The date Of the next entertainment
will be announced in due time. The
success of the course Is already assur
ed, and the ladies of the Reading club
will have the honor of giving to the
people of Mineral Point the best lee
ture course they have ever had.
