The Omaha Exposition.

Some experiences that have fallen
to our lot have caused vain tears OF
regret that the order of things was
not otherwise, and others again would
be cherished through long eons, a
perpetual delight,
But few memories will awake n
pleasanter recollectlons than the re-
membrance of a recent trip to the
Omaha Exposition made ovar the
Missouri Pacific Railway.
AS is to be expected in the case of
so important a commercial center
and distributing point as Omaha ie,
there are great many railroads run
ming there, and the best of them all,
for comfort and convenience, in point
Of equipment and particular features
difficult to inventory, but all, in no
small degree contributing to the
pleasure of the journey, is the widely
known Missouri Pacific
To the anticipation Of enjoyment
to come when in Omaha is added
present pleasure aud contentment
when the exposition trip is made
over this line.
The region through which the far
reaching rails of the mo. Psc." pen
citrate, whittier and whence is borne
the mighty flow of travel and the i'm
aginstion staggering abundance of
western products by the same all
serving agent, this region is of ab-
sorbing interest.
1t is rapidly becoming known as a
good place to go to for health and
prosperity, and the fact that it is, be-
ing demonstrated daily to the observ-
ing traveller who looks out from the
train window, and looks with appre.
cation and understanding.
And not so many years since this
country was a barren blank, where
roaming herds and rowing bands en-
countered no obstruction, met no him
dranee to their progress from the ad-
vancing civilization that has peopled
the region with conquering race,
where once the coyotes howl did SAL
utation to the morn and fierce no
msdic tribes in sanguinsry conflict
spent their time, the busy wheels Of
industry hum a greeting to the world
and coltentment fills the day.
And why?
The railroad came, and IN it's track
and with it's prosperity came also the
era Of growth and we'll being for the
country.
y =
Go to Omaha. The trip will repay
you, and what you see while there
will ever be q cherished recollection.

Williams Imaglnes moo Much.

The Prohibitionists nominated q
man by the name of Williams, who
is the agent OF the Missouri Pacific
at Leavenworth Junction, for con-
gresham -at-lsrge He is having a
terrible time keeping the populists
from pulling him off, and in his
efforts to prevent such action be is
enjoying the novelty OF seeing his
name in print frequently in Republi-
can papers. Among other things he
asserts that Secretary Upton has
been laboring with him with a view
to getting him to withdraw in the in
terest of Congressman Botkin. Mr.
Upton says that the only time he has
seen him lately was one day, some
time ago, when he went to his station
to catch a train, and that while he
waited Williams put in the time ex-
planning the political situation to him
Mr.. Upton is quite certain that he
made no observation to Mr. Williams
which might be distorted into any
thing OF the sort alleged, and is
strengthened in his beiief by the fact
that Mr. Williams seemed to enjoy
the sound Of his own voice so well
that he secured no opportunity to say
anything even if he had been so dis
posed. -AdCOc0te and NelCs

The forthcoming annual report OF

show that the number of pensions

1885 for sailors. Four widows we're
reinstated and two promoted, and GA

reinstated One hundred and thirty
nine ex. union soldiers were reinstated,
and 279 promoted. The number Of

The proper time for fall blowing
