That the spy sent by the United
States government to Spain during
war should have become the guest of
Weyler himself seems incredible. Yet
there is nothing more true. The gov
ernment selected as its agent a man
of position who has lived much in
Germany. 1t was necessary for US to
have trained intellect that would
make no mistakes. His story is told
in the November Cosmopolitan, and
the most exciting pages of Dumas's
fiction seem tame in comparison with
the facts. Crossing the frontier in a
first-class carriage, he was by tri-
fling accident brought into conyersa-
tion with young Spanish nobleman;
presently who should come along but
the son of General Weyler. This ac-
quaintance led to his receiving many
attentions from Weyler when they
reached Madrid, and the general sctu-
ally gave up day to q trip to. the
Escurial. Imagine this grim arch
enemy Of ours laying himself out to
please the secret ssent whom the
government had sent to find ont ths
weak places Of Spain! How triaing

! Mr.. II. c. Wagner, Travelling Pass

us Tuesday. and he is certainly very
agreeable gentleman. He was asked
how business was and said: The
road is doing an elegant business. 1t
can not help hut do business for the
reason that it is the best equipped
railroad III the United States today.
We run the finest train in the world
from Omaha 10 Chicago and from
Chicago to Omaha. From the draw
bar on the locomotive to the bumper
on the hind end OF the hind coach it
surpasses anything. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway have
their own sleepers. They are the
finest arranged and equipped sleepers
that can be mad. The entire train
is lighted by electricity. There is an
electric light in each berth SO per-
sons waking UP in the night do not
have tu strike matches or any any
thing else. You see this is very
nice for lady or lady with children.
The dining car is par excellence.
Then We have forward car which is a
palace on wheels, where the passen-
gers can step in and get anything
in the way of liquids, fine cigars, and
a gentleman there experienced to
mix and make any beverage that may
be called for. Even the chair car
and the ordinary coach are lighted by
electricity whereby these passengers
can sit AMI read all night il they
choose. PeorIe travelling east, il
they would look into this matter,
would get much more comfort than
they do. They get into Pullman
sleeping car at Denver and ride to
Omaha; being all night in that car
and then sitting there all the next
day, naturally the car becomes stale.
