An Evidence Of Prosperity.

It is generally conceded by economists.
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are sure indication of its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella-
ton of pleasure travel, while healthy con-
dition Of affairs means business trips and an
increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the
"Lake Shore Limited" the star train Of the
Vanderbilt system, between New York and
Chicago, which is daily comfortably filled.
With view to taking the best possible care
of its patrons, the New York Central has
arranged to increase the equipment of this
train by placing an additional standard
sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur.
days. To the regular traveller the appoint.
ments and comforts of this train are well
known, but if you have never made trip
on it, you owe it to yourself to see and en-.
Joy the advance made in comfort and lux
ury in modern railway travel. Remember
the fare is no higher on this train. except
between New York and Chicago, while the
accommodations and service place this par:
ticular train conspicuously at the head Of
the list, when compared with other lines

are deeply concerned about him.
Mr. Snedeker left his home in a
buggy, accompanied by his wife, Mon
day evening, for the purpose of deliv-
ering milk in the city. He left his wife
at the home of her father, Mr.. Smith,
farmer living about half way between
the Snedeker place and the city, telling
her to await his return. He had prev
iously brought two cows to the city and
sold them.
Several persons saw him along the
run road going toward his home that
night, but ne did not stop for his wife
and she has not seen him since. The
only information received concerning
him, and that very meagre, was con-
tanned in letter postmarked Bridge
port, in which Snedeker babe his wife
good bye and told her he would not
return.
