MORE LUXURY FOR TRAVELLERS
Something About the Omaha Roads BufEe
Parlor Cars.


Ever on the alert to provide the most
rons, ''The North-W estern >Line"-C., st.
E, NJ: & Q. BY, has just inaugurated q
apolis and Chicago, which will not only
prove a delightful innovation with all
classes of travellers who want the best OBJ
talnable, but render daytime travel between
here and Chicago positive luxury.
The service includes two superb cars just
from the shops owned and operated by the
Railway Co.: They are named in honor of
the twin cities, 'sMinneapolis' and "St.
Paul, J" are each sixty-eight feet long, and
cost nearly SIS, 1000. They are painted a
dark green, with gold trimmings, and are
forward end, the beauty and comfort with
in at once charms and delights. The finish
is in polished st. Jago mahogany, inlaid
with white laurel wreaths and leaves. The
ceiling is OF dark olive, with exquisite gold
trimmings, and is pierced with six large,
ornamental Pintsch gas chandeliers.
The body of the car contains twenty-five
luxurious, plush-covered revolving chairs,
each opposite huge window. All the win
dows are beautifully hung with dark olive
silken draperies in keeping with the decora-
lions, besides being supplied with dark green
sliding shades Throughout the floors of
each car are laid with heavy velvet carpets,
and opposite each revolving chair is an up
holstered foot-stool. Twelve large plate
glass mirrors are placed here and there on
the sides between the windows, so milady
is never at a loss to know if her hat is on
straight. At one end is a commodious Ia
dies toilet-room, and at the other end,
screened from the body of the car by q
huge plate-glass window, hung with drap-
cries, is the buffet-room. Through the win
dow one catches glimpses of beautiful
chlnaware, napery, and other things that
make buffet service delightful. Still back
OF the buffet is capacious smoking-room,
supplied with wicker chairs and everything
else for smokers comfort. At the rear
are the gentlemen's toilet apartments.
Besides being the finest parlor cars ever
brought to Minneapolis, these cars combine
the interesting feature Of Buffet service
from which the passenger can select any
time OF the day any kind of q luncheon
to suit his appetite, and at very moderate
rates. Tables fit in opposite each chair for
luncheon, card playing, or any other uses
desired, and inviting menu cards with the
timetable of the trains are at the hand for
each passenger. OF course a uniformed
Ethiopian is at hand, and looks after every
body's happiness.
One Of these cars now leaves Minneapo-
lis on Day Train every morning at 1885;
st. Paul SIS, reaching Chicago 9:55 p. M,
and the other will leave Chicago 8:15 q. M,
reaching st. Paul, 9:55 and Minneapolis

1, The old notion that hog prefers to
wallow in the mire is q great mistake.
The hog prefers clean water and food
the same as any animal, but his style Of
getting it is at fault. This difficulty is
easily remedied by some such plan as
illustrated below, where an adjustable
rack can be fixed for any sized pig or
hog so it cannot get into the feed

Mere Bundle. of Nerves.

Some peevish, querulous people seem
mere bundles of nerves. The least sound
agitates their sensoriums and ruffies their
tempers. No doubt they are born so. But
may not their nervousness be ameliorated,
if not entirely relieved? Unquestionably,
and with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. BY
cultivating their digestion, and insuring
more complete assimilation of the food with
this admirable corrective, they will expert
ence speedy and very perceptible gain in
constipation and rheumatism yield to the

DR.. Derlotte Retires.

Our readers will be surprised to learn
that DR.. C. w. Denote has disposed OF
his medical practice and will, within a
few months, leave Audubon. During
his ten years residence in this city, DIR.
Denote and his estimable family have
made hosts OF near and dear friends, and
the regret at their departure will be uni
versal. The reasons for the doctors
leaving Audubon is, that for some time
past his health has been such that he
was unable to take care Of his practice,
and has for that reason been compelled
to give up the long country drives that
had to be made, He hopes that warm
or, dryer and more equitable climate will
restore his health, and with that object
in view will some time dnring the sum-
mer, go to southern California with a
view OF permanently locating in that re-
gion and devoting his time to fruit grow
ing.
DIR. De Motto will be succeeded by DR..
r. +. Childs, OF Council Bluffs, who ar
rived in Audubon to take up his perma-
ment residence Tuesday. DR.. Childs
comes highly recommended both as a
man and physician and will doubtless
find place and a welcome in this com
munity.

The Weather Crop Bulletin.
CENTRAL STATION,

CENTRAL STATION,
Dies MONIES, Iowa, May 18, 1897. )
The past week was unseasonably cool,
with prevalence Of northwest winds
and less than the normal amount Of
sunshine. The average temperature was
from three to five degrees below normal.
There we're light frosts in all districts,
but no material damage has been OBJ
served. The rainfall was generally light;
and in the northwest section warm
showers would be beneficial to all crops.
Fair progress has been made in pre-
pairing the ground for planting; and in
all districts considerable area has been
planted, the amount ranging from one
third to three-fourths Of the total acre
age. With favoring conditions the bulk
of the planting will be completed by the
22d. Reports indicate probable corn
acreage very nearly as great as that of
1896.
The condition of spring wheat, oats
and barley is generally satisfactory
though the growth has been retarded
somewhat by cold winds. Grass is doing
well. Apples, plums, cherries and small
fruit are doing quite promising.

Heavy Rain Storm.

Yesterday afternoon heavy rain
storm passed to the north and east of
Audubon doing considerable damage in
the northern part Of this county and in
Carroll county.
In the vicinity OF Gray the rainfall
was unprecedented, the water going
over the railroad tracks and reaching
the top Of the depot platform at the
highest stage. The train north from
Audubon was compelled to wait at Gray
for the water to go down, and this morn
ing the bridge at Gray was reported "out
Of line" with the track bed eight or ten
inches.
North Of Manning the storm did more
damage, the railroad track between
there and Halbur being washed out for
distance of two hundred feet. The
North Western train had to go back to
Manning where it was held over night,
and did not get into Audubon until
nearly one o'clock today.
The heavy rains north and east raised
the Botna so that The roads east of town
are almost impossible. Parties starting
east this morning were unable to get any
where near the bridges. The river is
said to be higher than ever before
known.
An almost imprecepitable sprinkle
was all the rain that reached Audubon.

The big cedar post which has stood at
the First National Bank corner, and fur

discussions on the state Of the country
has been held for many years, was
pulled up Monday and taken to Hart &

it will furnish will be made into some
thing more ornamental and useful. This
post had something Of history. IT was
the bottom end Of forty foot flag pole
from which, with its fellow on the OPP
posite side of the street, was swung a
huge Blaine and Logan flag during the
presidential campaign twelve years ago.

We do not have everything, but you
can come as near finding what you
want in our stock as you can in

we work at disadvantage, because

most of it worn here can be sold
