my advice to fanciers who wish TO keep
their dogs in a heathful condition is to feed
them at II a. m. on Il small amount Of

Way is to give the animal sponge bath

FINE CROPS, RESTORED CREDIT AND
CONFIDENCE REPORTED.
Railway Officials Uniformly Testify to
Increased Business-PeOple SAN
guine and Cheerful.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
The representatives of Western railways
in this city agree that there has been a
decided revival of prosperity beyond the
Mississippi river during the last few
months, that it is continuing. and that the
prospect of it's increase throughout the year
is exceedingly bright. At the office of the
Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf and the Fort
Worth & Denver companies ]. w. Jen-
nings said:
Our advices from Texas show that there
is a remarkable crop of grain in that State.
The wheat fields, vastly larger than ever
before. are yielding twenty-five bushels to
the acre, and the oat fields seventy-five
bushels to the acre. AS yet, the movement
of grain is slight. for the farmers are hold
ing on to their products in the hope Of get
ting higher prices. The movement will
come soon, however, and the railways will
reap their share of prosperity. Almost
equally promising is the cotton crop.
Notwithstanding we have not begun to
experience the full benefit of the better con-
ditions prevailing, the business of the Union
Pacific, Denver & Gulf has increased phe-
nomenally. Indeed, Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
| the receiver of the road, promises its stock
and bondholders a surprise in the near
future. 1t was a good year for us last year,
but this year the increase in our earnings
is remarkable, being from Jan. 1 to May so
| Sis, 492 more than during the corresponding
| period of last year. The increased earn
ings of the Fort Worth & Denver for the
same period were $4,000 but last year was
not prosperous one for this line. There
has been a corresponding increase since the
harvesting of the crops began. a late de-
velopment of traffic has been a marked
! growth in the hauling of lumber and ores
development which is undoubtedly to be
! largely attributed to the generally reviving
| prosperity. Our passenger traffic also shows
| q distinct gain; more people are travelling

| about a striking multiplication of the num-

ment in conditions and prospects on the
! other side of the Mississippi. The farmers,
! they say, are getting out Of debt and into
better financial situation than they have
! known for years. I was talking with a
| gentleman from Fort Worth the other day.
and he said to me: You people in the East
are behind the times. We are having a
| boom in the West, and you don't know it.
| In short, all our sources Of information
concur in reporting the farmers and mer-
! camille classes of the West as in a, happy,
! hopeful, sanguine mood, to which they have
| for years been strangers"
