pERs1sTBNTLY IN THE WRONG.

The Bryanites are hard to please.
Low prices did not suit them in 1894
and 1896, and high prices do not suit
them now. The trouble is that their
theories do not jibe with the facts and
sound principles of political economy.
Every one of their main contentious
has been falsitied 10y events. Their
declaration that prices could not rise
under the gold standard has been
prove to be erroneous. There was
some truth in their theory that rising
prices, or at least steady prices, are
necessary to Il high degree of prosper
ity, but they have been compelled, by
the nee essities of their illogical posi-
ton, to repudiate that and to take up
the opposing contention that high
prices are injurious.
There never was a more conspicuous
instance of persistent wrongheaded.

pies than that afforded by William j.

A. sign of the times is the large
amount of money being spent by rail
roads in improvements. One western
road, the Burlington, has appropriated
no less than s6.OoO,OOO for this purpose.
This is exclusive of the building of
new lines in western Nebraska and
Wyoming. BY far the most important
art of the B~urlington's big repair job
is the completion of the double track
between Omaha and Chicago. Thirty
five miles of double track are being
laid between Mount Pleasant and Bat.
avia. Iowa, and ten miles between New
London and Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
With the exception of a stretch of fiji
teen miles, the road now has a double
track all the way from Chicago to
Mount Pleasant, IL distance of 23l
miles. All the Illinois lines are double
tracked, and 800 miles in Iowa will be
in similar condition before the end of
the summer.

Hot Springs, Sylvan Lake and Spear
fish are three Black Hills summer re.
sorts that are as attractive in their
way as any places of their kind in the
west. And they are as different as any
three places car be.
Hot Springs is a health resort-a
good place to get rid of ones rheuma-
tism and to enjoy life while renewing
ones youthful vigor.
Sylvan Lake is a pretty nook in the
Heart of the Hills, an easy-going, cool,
dreamy spot, where hot weather is un-
known.
Spearfish is a thrifty town of per-
haps 1900 people, not particularly not
able except in one respect-the beauty
| of the railroad ride to it. You should
make the trip to realize how fine it is.
There is nothing more eXhilaratinr,
even i'll the Rockies.
During July. the Burlington Route
will run two cheap excursions to. Hot
Springs and Custer Sylvan Lake)-one
on the 4th, the other on the Sth. One
fare, plus 81, for the round trip. Tick

1t is lust a year since the Chicago,

ated its celebrated Pioneer Limited
passenger service between Chicago,
Milwaukee, st. Paul and Minneapolis.
This service marked a new era i'll the
railway world in the line of passenger
accommodations. At a cost of a quar-

sive company furnished the travelling
public, in it's Pioneer Limited train,
comforts and facilities, the best ever

scribed many times in new spapers and

of finish, richness and elegance of fur
nishing nothing equal to it has eve
been attempted by any other road.
