The present town board seems
disposed to adopt suggestions as
to public affairs and we hope that
its members will act favorably up
on suggestion that an ordinance
should be enacted prohibiting and
furnishing the throwing of glass
on any street or alley. Some peo-
pie are either inexcusably careless
or malicious in this respect and
they should be taught to put their
broken glass where it will do nc
harm to bicycle tires or horses
feet.

The BurIington,s New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the 1st of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are rs magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the
Icountry-that even the famous
limited Expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
ing-librarycar, a palace sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The buffet-smoking-library
car is something new for Denver
Chicago line, 1t is a veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpetcd and furnish
ed with settees. cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, a writlng-desk,
"a compartment for card-players,
and well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use'of passengers. The sleep
ing car is gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are'in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time. Leaving Denver at $50
a. m. today on one of them you
are landed IN Chicago at 2:l5 to-
morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for.
all points east, The running time
from Denver TO Chicago is only
twenty-seyen and three-quarter
hours. just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to February 6, 1898.
The Florence daily tribune., 1898-06-06

Heroum flii norae was a Latin
proverb that is appropriate enough
today. 1t may be translated "the
sons of heroes are public nuisan-
ces." The present eXaltation of
young Logan and other sons of
their fcthers is particular aggra-
vation in republic. That these
youngsters should be given mill
tary rank over the heads of mill
tary men of training and proved
ability is a mystery from a COM
mon sense point of view and an
abomination in the sight of the
people. Moreover, some Of the
fathers of those nouueaitr giands
were not even heroes but merely
themselves RoupedtG riches.

The Sublime Realities.

Sham and delusions are esteemed for
soundest truths, while reality is fabu-
lous. If men would steadily observe
realities only, and not allow themselves
to be deluded, life, to compare it with
such things as we know would be like
fairy and the Arabian Nights enter
tainments. If we respected only what
is inevitable and has right to be, mu-
sic and poetry would resound along
the streets. When we are unhurried
and wise, we perceive that only great
and worthy things have any permanent
and absolute existence, that petty fears
and petty pleasures are but the shadow
of the reality. This is always exhilar-
ating and sublimee. By closing the
eyes and slumbering, and consenting TO
be deceived by shows, men establish
and confirm their daily life of routine
and habit everywhere, which still is
built on purely illusory foundations.
Children, who play life, discern it's true
law and relations more clearly than
men, who fail to live it worthily, but
who think that they are wiser by ex-
perience, that is, by failure.-ThoreaG.
