ALTOGETHER NEW.
The Ne,o Time Card ON the Rio
Grand Surprises Everybody

The new time card OF the Denver &
Rio Grande road, whereby that road if
to make connections at Ogden with the
Southern Pacific and at Denver with
the Rock Island and the Burlington, fol
through train service between Chicago
and the Pacific coast goes into effect to-
day. But in daing so, Grand Junctios
gets it in the neck, 6guratively speaking
as far as train accommodation Is con-
cerned.
The two now trains that we're put on
the road during the summer. numbers
Is and 16, are not to run any further
than Glenwood Springs and the only
train out of here in the night is the one
which leaves here at 1904 a. m. This is
the old No. 9 which left here at 6:l9 p.
m. No. 4 will leave here at 6:OS a. N. .
There is little if any change in the trains
coming from the east.
The Midland will leave this city in tho
evening, as before and will not wait for
the western connection OF the Rio
Grande Western.
The Midland, according to General
Passenger Agent Bailey, said that they
preferred to care for local business to
any through business which might come
from connection with the through train
service between Chicago and the Pacific
coast.
The people in this city will not view
the change Of the Rio Grande time card
with any degree of delight. 1t nscessi-
tates getting up in the middle OF the
night to take the Denver train, without
one wants to take an all day ride.
II the local trains run as far al Glen
wood Springs, it seems there ought to be
enough business from this city and from
local points along the line OF the Rio
Grande Junction to warrant the roads
to run their trains through.
The abandoning OF the trains will be a
matter of the greatest surprise to many
OF the citizens Of Grand Junction, as it
was confidently expected that this city
would not lose by the Rio Grande max
ing a transcontinental connection.

Great Advertisers.

1t is impossible not to admire the en-.
terprise and talent displayed by the
modern advertiser. No art has adj
vanced more rapidly in the last 20 years
than that of letting the customer know
what is in the stores and what its
adaptablities are for his uses. The
American leads the world in this impor-
tant branch of business. A comparison
of leading European and American
journals easily establishes the fact
The American advertiser presents his
matter with far more clearness, vari
ETY. and fullness of details than the
English. He is more liberal in the use
OF space and of pictorial and other EN-
bellishments. The trade of our mer
chants and manufacturers accordingly
grows faster than that of compe titors
in other countries. Americans have
learned how to make commercial adver
tising profitable, attractive and gen
orally interesting to the reader. 1t i.
hardly necessary to add that the proc
is near at hand in great diversity.

RESUMPTION OF GOLD.
Act Of the Republicans
in 1875.

From January 1. 1879, onward to this
hour, every dollar of the country's cir
,culating medium--greenbacks, national
bank notes, Bland dollars, Bland GER
tificates and all other sorts of currency
has been worth everywhere in the
United States 100 cents in gold. This
was the immediate effect of the gold Ie-
sumption act. Now for some of the
acts other consequences. The banks,
the national treasury and the country
al large have far greater amount of
gold now than ever before. The clear
ances of the country's railroads, the
output of the country's textile and
metal manufactures and the sum total
Of the country's business interests and
activities are greater than at any time
in the past. In the year just ended we
have sold more goods abroad than Eng
lard, thus taking the primacy IN that
particular heretofore held by that state.
New York, in the past few months, has
passed London in the extent of its I'M
Forts and exports and in the amount IF
its business transactions, and the
worlds monetary center is shifting to
this side of the Atlantic. The country's
social and political prestige among the
nations of the world was never SO high
in the past as it is now. The prosperity
and general well-being of its people
never before reached the high mark
which it touches at this moment. These
are some of the ultimate effects OF the
act which the republican party placed
upon the national statute book in 1878
and which went into operation in 1879.
Here are few of the reasons why the
Jaw which began its work 20 years ago
constitutes the greatest date mark in
the financial and business history of the
United States.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

awakened in the morning she laughed
at the nights strange fancies, and just
to prove what improbable things

found that dreams are sometimes the
precursors of reality. Her small nose
was swollen into the nearest approach
to the Cyrano nose that it's abbreviated

edge was row of scarlet blotches tina t

Misfit Assignment

A well-known chief engineer Of the
navy who tips the scales at trifie more
than 300 pounds was recently ordered
to take charge of the mechanical de-
partment of one of the smaller gun
beats on the Pacific station. The engi-
neer, says the Washington Post, didn't
particularly like the assignment, but It
didn't worry him to the point OF sui
eide. He simply sat down and made a
sketch of the exceedingly narrow doors
that lead into the engine rooms of thv
gunboat to which he was ordered. mark
ing the dimensions of the doors in fig
ures on the sketch. Below his drawing
of one of the engine-room doors this
jolly chief engineer made neat sketch
of himself, full figure, not exaggerating
his Falstaffian paunch trife. He at
tached his own dimensions in feet and
inches, circumferentially, to this
sketch of himself. Then he put the
sketches in an envelope and respect
fully submitted" them to the bureau OF
navigation. 1t was the sort of docu-
ment that occasionally makes hit.
The inference to be drawn from the
sketch was so obvious-the impossible
ity of the chief engineers passage
through the engine-room doors of the
ship to which he was ordered was 50
pparent-that the assignment was re
called. and the laconic chief engineer
is liable to get flagship when the next
batch of steam engineering assign
ments is made.

1t is not often that mans funeral
Is funny enough to make his near rela-
tivee laugh. This. however, is what
happened at the funeral of Dr. Kellogg,
of Ashland, o. The Kellogg family is
an oid and respected one in town, and,
as often happens in old families Of
small towns, is connected with nearly
every other family in the town. DR..
Kellogg died in New York. He was
widower, without any children, and
left orders in his will for his body
TO be cremated and the ashes deposit
ed in the grave of his wife at Ashland.
Mrs. Patterson, q cousin, was direct
ed to carry out his request. The death
OF the doctor cast gloom over the
whole big family of kinsfok. Mrs.
Patterson telegraphed directions for
the cremation of the body, and
watched anxiously for the arrival Ut
the remains. One morning the express
man drove up with the box. the flu
neral was held. and attended by Ash
land in body. The wife's grave was
opened. the box deposited solemnly,
and the mourners dispersed. A few
days afterward Mrs. Patterson received
a small zinc box. about the size of the
first. She was Mortified to find that
this last box undoubtedly contained
the ashes of her cousin. DR.. Kellogg.
She knew, of course, at once. that
something else, no telling what, had
been deposited in the cemetery in lieu
of the doctor. A quiet investigation
was made. 1t was found that another
Mrs. Patterson in Ashland, stster-in-
law, had sent dress to a dye firm IN
New York. The box containing this
dress had been deposited in the grave
Of the late Mrs. Kellogg A second and
very quiet burial was held. at which
only Mrs. Patterson and the sexton
were present. The story was too good
to keep, and was soon passed around.

serious question of Jail etiquette
has arisen at Eureka Springs, Ark.
where four convicts absented them
selves without leave from the county
prison and went to dance. In the
morning they were all back again at
the Jail door, clamoring for admission
and breakfast. The justly incensed
jailer refused to take them in. saying
they had abused his hospitality. The
matter was taken to higher authorities
and the exiles have obtained their old
quarters. On the whole, the decision
was just. Some slight punishment
should be inflicted on the absentees.
but good deal can be excused to high
spirits, while it should not be held that
a mere frolicsome escapade like this
should forfeit a prisoners legal RICH;
to food and shelter. There IS time to
dance, but one cannot be dancing al,
the time. The jailer should not allow
personal pique to interfere with grave
constitutional privileges.

A YEAR OF PROGRESS.
Confidence I'm the Republican Trade
Policy Has Brought Great
Prosperity.

Part of the story of the wonderful
commercial development of the United
States during the past calendar year is
told in the weekly trade review issued
by Dun & Co. Most of the story is IA
miliar to our readers.
Not only have all previous records
been eclipsed in the foreign trade of
the country, but they have been broken
by prodigious figures. During thu past
twelve months the value of the exports
has exceeded those of any previous 12
months by almost $3OO,OOO,0OO, and the
value of the exports and imports COM
bined is greater by about 100000, 900
than in the previous banner year of
1892. Furthermore. during the year
just closed, the balance of trade in our
favor reached the enormous total Of
$617.00O,00O, against $357,000,0OO last
year. In only two other years did the
balance in our favor rise to $500, 100000
Never before this year did the imports
of gold exceed the exports by $s5OOO,.
600. During the year just closed the ex-
cess of gold imports over the exports
reached the enormous total of $40 OOO.-
600. Not only have we paid big debts
we owed abroad but we are now lend
ing so much money in Europe that the
foreign bankers are looking to New
York to fix the rate Of exchange. Thus
have we been released from the "domi.
nation of the European money kings
which has been the burden of populis-
tic complaint. and the United States
can to-day be counted as an independ-
ent nation in financial, as we'll as
many other senses.
The triumph in financial affairs, says
the trade review. is largely due to in
dustrial progress. For the first time
in the history of the country, the ex-
ports of manufactured products have
exceeded the imports of manufact ures,
that excess in iron and steel products
alone amounting to about $74,0c0, 900.
and industrial activity is noticeable
everywhere, mills and factories run
ming now as they have.seldom been OPP
Grated before.
When it is remembered that all this
industrial and commercial progress has
come during the year in which the
United States has fought and won a
foreign war. and on the heels of long
and disastrous panic. tie people ought
TO be convinced that the result is due
in great measure to the policies that
have been inaugurated and maintained
by the party that was entrusted with
the control of the government by the
voters at the election of 1896, and which
will assume complete control CT all
branches of the government when the
next congress begins business. one year
hence. When the merchants and manu-
facturers of country have confidence
in the financial and industrial policy
that is in force, and the farmers are
getting fair return. for their toll,
there is bound to be prosperity. and
such prosperity should continue as long
as the conditions remain favora ble.--

In Columbia university few days
ago Hiram S. Maxim gave demonstra-
ton. with blank cartridges, of his rapid-
fire gun in action. The hal. was crowd
ed with students. When the shots
reached 600 minute the enthusiasm
ran high, and there was wild charge
for shells. Mr.. Maxim says the idea
of utilizing the recoil to reload and re-
fire occurred tc him while hunting in
the south soon after the civil war.
