The Burlington's New Trains.

Railroad men who have had the privi-
lege of examining the -four new trains
which the Burlington Route. on the lst
of May, placed in service between Denver
and Chicago say they are as magniti-
Gently equipped as any in the country
that V @ the famous limited expresses
between Chicago and New York are
not handsomer or more luxurious.
Every car is wide %vestibuled, and was
built especially for the Burlington
Route.
The four trains are Identical in
appearance and arrangement. Each Is
composed of buffet-smoking-library car
a palace s%leeping-car, a %dining-car. and
two r~eclining-chair cars. The buffet
smoking-library car is something new for
a Denver-Chicago line. 1t Is a vcritable
club house 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 furnished with %settees, cushioned
easy chairs, a l%avatory, a writing-desk.
a compartment for card-players, and Il
well-stockcd buffet. The current
periodicals and newspapers are on file,
and a carefully selected library is
provided for the free use of passengers.
The s%leepfng-car is a gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way worthy
of the train of which they form an I'M
p0rtant part.
The Burlington Route takes these
palatial trains through to Omaha and
Chicago in marvelously quick time.
Leaving Denver at 9:3O a. M. today ON
II of them you are landed in Chicago
at 2:l5 tomorrow afternoon, there max
Ing close connections with trains for all
points east. The running time from
Denver to Chicago Is only twenty-seven
and three-quarter hours. Just how
1t Is stated that It is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule In effect
prior to February 9th. 1898.

The outcome of murder trials at pre-,

ingness of petit juries to find criminals,
indicted by a grand jury, guilty of the
worst offence against the law and
society, namely, premeditated murder,
n the reluctance of judges to pro-
nounce its extreme penalty. But there
Is no escaping the penalties which
nature exacts for disregard of her laws.

should be granted to every woman.
Thousands fail of this because they have
neglected to look after their health in a
womanly way. The health of a woman's
babies is dependent upon her own health
during the period of prospective maternity.
The prospective mother cannot be too par
ticular about her physical condition. If
she suffers from local weakness, nervous-
ness or loss of vigor and virility, her chill
dren will be weak, puny and sickly. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the only
unfailing cure for all weakness and disease
of the delicate and important organs that
bear the brunt of maternity. 1t makes these
organs strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and
elastic. It makes the prospective mother
strong and cheerful. 1t robs maternity of
its perils. 1t insures a baby constitution
ally strong. 1t is the invention of an emf
nent and skillful specialist, who has had
thirty years training in this particular
branch, during which time he and his staff
OF physicians have prescribed for many
thousands of women. Medicines dealers
sell it and All honest dealer will not urge
upon you an inferior substitute merely for
the little added profit he may make thereon.
~ am the mother of a nice baby four and a
half months old, :" writes Mrs. J. B.. Clough, (Box
2o3,) Of Lisbon, Grafton Co., N. H. II cannot
give too much praise to DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription"
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation. Constipation is the cause of
many diseases. Cure the cause and YOU
cure the disease. One "Pellet" is a
gentle laxative, and two a mild cathar-
tic. Druggists sell them, and nothing is

The Army Mule and His Driver.

The management of the regular army
in the field is almost sordidly business
like. but in the end it makes for the
picturesque. The baggage train, for ex-
ample, as it tolls down the highway, Is
superb. The wagons are of a faded blue
color and a bit battered, but they are
like those veterans you sometimes sec
at encampments.
The old army overcoat they have res
directed for TIE occasion has faded to
the palest of blues, and the wearer IS a
bit battered. He is sound at the core,
though. ard so are these numbering car
nyans that have come all the way from
Fort Reno and farther. They lurch
through the sand and over the rocks Of
the Florida highway, and nothing gives
They are piled high with tents and
greasy camp equipage and boxes OF am
mnnition. Six mules draw them, and
the mules are admonished increasingly
in profane monotone by a powerful
person. who has learned to drive with
one rein.
The most poetic and seductive names
appear with what might at first blush
seem startling irrelevancy, considering
the general context of the drivers re-
marks. One is surprised to hear him
couple the names Of Lena, Paulina and
Sadie with his frantic exhortations as
to the rights OF the road and the proper
conduct of an army mule. Still l see no
reason why even an army mule should
not be graced with a romantic name.
Life at best can held so little for an
army mule. Tampa (Fla.) Letter in
Chicago journal.
