The stoddnrd Lectures.

When John L. Stoddard decided upon the radical departure in his line of work of taking American topics, he selected the Yellowstone National Park as his first subject, judging from what he had heard that this famous region had more of variety, novelty and sin gularity than any other localities in our domain. He has just returned from carefully planned and very sue cessfully executed excursion to the park and declares that the half was not told him. This famous corner of Wyoming he found possessed of some of the high est mountains in the country, of a grand canyon whose beauty is paral- leled only by it's awe-inspiring quality, and by volcanic features so varying that the scenes of each day are entirely unlike those of any other.
 Appreciating the benefit to be con- ferred on the community by MT. Stod- dard's ability to make vivid what he sees, the management of the park has showered MT. Stoddard with attentions, and placed at his command every pos sible facilities for observation and study; while the accomplished official photographer has devoted his entire time to MT. Stoddard, accompanying him everywhere, for the purpose of per- fecting special illustrations. Thus Mir. Stoddard returns fully equipped tosre- veal in his effective way this uniuue corner of our country.

A TRIBUTE
 OF SCIENCE.
Synopsis of a most Remarkable Lecture Delivered Before the Ninth Medical Congress, by Dr. A. L. A. Toboldt, of the University of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which has been the refuge of invalids for five centuries, is certainly we'll worthy of careful study. My experience with this renie- dialagent has been such that l may truly say that no remedy which l ever employed has given me so much pleasure and profit as this particular one. Selecting a number of chronic hypochon- driacs, whose afflictions have baffled all my previous efforts as my subjects, l was truly aston ished to note that, although no rigid diet was prescribed, and only a limited amount of exercise was indulged in, l obtained most remarkable results-the complex ion, even after weeks use, began to clear up, the step be- came more firm and elastic, and, what was more, the entire host of hypochondriacal complaints, seemed to vanish like mist.
 Many limitations of the genu- inc imported Carlsbad Waters and Carlsbad Sprudel Salt are being sold here by druggists and others. The genuine article is bottled under the supervision of the city of Carlsbad, and has the seal of the city and the signature of EIsNER & MENDELsoN Co, sole agents for the U. S., New York, on every bottle. All others are worthless limitations.
 Dr. Toboldt's lecture, with table of cases treated, will be mailed to any address upon ap- plication to the agents of the Carlsbad Spring, ElsNER & MEN, DELsoN Co.,, New York.

Delayed Trains.

There has been no train from the East
for two days until today when a spe-
cial came down about IL 40 O'Clock un-
der charge of Conductor Glendenning.
This train merely came from Grants, be-
ing the regular overland which went
through last night from Portland. The
regular west bound passenger, due here
Saturday morning, is still on the other
side of the trouble above Arlington, and
no transfer of mail or passengers has yet
been made. A through east-bonnd
train came in from Portland at 40
this afternoon, and it is expected that
the obstruction will be cleared in time
for it to pass and let the delayed west
bound passenger trains back. These
were expected to arrive at O'Clock this
afternoon.
The trouble consists in immense drifts
of sand, in one place being a quarter of
a mile long and an average depth of four
feet. The fences are SO placed as to

Laid to Rest.

The funeral services of Grace Will
Jams, held this morning in the Congre-
gational church, were attended by a
large number of sympathizing friends.
Loving hands had decorated the church
with last tributes, while expressions oil
sorrow were manifest in the beautiful
flowers which hid the casket from view.
The services were brief. but unusually
affecting. The choir sang the lovely
anthem "One Sweetly Solemn Thought, -
after which Mr.. Curtis made some
touching remarks, most fitted to the
moment. It were more appropriate, he
said, if he could take his place among
the mourners and listen to words of SYM
pathy spoken by another. In tender
words he referred to the beautiful life
which had Just closed for earth, and
with the earnestness of belief expressed
the consultations and hopes for one who
had died as Grace Williams did, full of
trust and believing in the promises
made to her. Mr.. Curtis words, while
moving all hearts to sympathy, were
laden with the comfort that comes not
from earthly things.
Seldom have so many expressions of
sorrow been made, or so much sympathy
ehown as was seen at the funeral today.
In the church were those who had
known the dead girl from babyhood /;
those who were her schoolmates in the
happy days of childhood, and those who
knew her in her maturer years and
loved her for her sweet disposition and
unselfish spirit. The pallbearers were
her classmates in the old Academy days.
The alumni attended in body.
The floral tributes were profuse,
among them being a wreath from the
class of go, the year when Grace
graduated from the Academy, and one
could not help thinking that the hands
which tenderly, with heavy hearts. laid
these mute tributes of sorrow upon the
casket, were the same that had joyously
given the floral expressions on the night
of her graduation. The family, in their
hour of deep affiiction, share the sym
pathy of the community.

A cougar and two cubs were killed

very obnoxious. The old one measured
over six feet in length. 1t is seldom
that these animals venture so near a
center of population. The cougar, other

animal OF North America, with the pos
