The BurIington's New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the LIST of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnifi-
comfy equipped as any in the
country that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibulep, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-librarycar, palace sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The bufTet-smoking-hbrary
car is something new for a Denver
Chicago line. 1t is 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 carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, a writlng-desk,
a compartment for card-players,
and n well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and n 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-seven ard 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 February6, 1898.

Last year, when it was decided
to have patriotic celebration in
Pueblo, the idea was evolved to
make it a Pageant of States
and Nations to take place on the
nations holiday. A celebration
in which, as some "wagn put it,
"every one from Missourian to n
Chinaman could take part" 1t
was only u short time from its in
ception to the time when the first
pageant took place, but the idea
was good one and representatives
of the different states and nations
resident in Pueblo went to work
with will and as consequent re-
suit, the Pueblo Pageant of States
und Nations held for the first
time July A, 1897, was a success
far beyond the expectations of the
most sanguine. 1t created spirit
of rivalry among the states and ma
tions that is making it felt TO such
extent that the pageant this year
promises to be greater event.
The executive committee has been
thoroughly organized for the past
two months and have almost COM
pleted the programme for the
)ming celebration which will last
three days, July 3, A and 3. The
different states and nations are
almost all represented by organi-
zations and the enthusiasm dis
played gives promise of a celebra-
tion that will rival even the Mardi
Gras of New Orleans or the ST
Louis Yelled Prophets.

 thieves, instead of attempting to ar rest the men the Mormons commenced
 shooting. The two horsethieyes were dead before they had time to awaken. The Mormons took the stolen horses, told Mir. Chase and his companions that they thought there would be 10 more trouble from these men, and started back for Mexico. To say that MT. Chase was surprised at the way the Mormons arrested" the horse thieves would be to express it mildly. Mir. Chase went back to his ranch after picks and shovels and buried the men where they were killed, wrapping them in their own blankets. There
 was no more horsestealing in that sec ton of the country from that time un- til the Black Jack" gang turned out.

Don't join don't worry club. Don't. try not to worry. While contentment. is 8 pleasing virtue, the people you know who are contented would be bet. ter off if they worried more. Absolute contentment and indifference to the possible troubles of tomorrow wills land any one in the poorhouse. The COW doesn't worry, neither does the clam; but people are built to worry j and it was intended that they should. On the other hand, If you worry much it will land you in the insane asylau. It is the insane asylum on the one hand and the poor farm on the othsr. The point is to worry just enough Q keep out of both of them.-[ Atchison Globe.
