Ia Trains Each Day.

This is what 1t means. On and after
March 18th, 1899, the Northern Pacific Rail
way will start two trains each day flying
westward from its eastern terminals. At
the same time-not at exactly the same
hours-two trains will also leave its western
terminals for the east. There will then be,
each day, moving over the 1000 miles of
main track between st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth at the east, and Seattle, ia.
coma and Portland on the Pacific Coast,
FOURTEEN OF THESE TRAINs-in both direc.
tions-going at the same time, and this in
country where 20 years ago the buffalo
were roaming. These trains will be known
as No. the Puget Sound Limited No,
the Oregon Limited going west, and No 2
the Twin City Mail, No. the Twin City Ex-
press, going east, and will contain in the
aggregate more than 100 ears of various
sorts. Each train will have q mail car a
baggage and express car, first and second
class coaches, q Free Colonist Steering Car,
Pullman Tourist Sleeping car, a Dining
car and one or more Pullman First Glass
Sleeping cars, SO that everybody and every
body's pOcketbOok can be accommodated.
The Dining cars are part OF the solid
through trains, and no one need therefore
60 hungry.
Train No. l will leave st. Pahl at So a.
m ; train No. 3 at l0:45 N. after ell
trains have arrived from the east and south,
morning and evening. Train No. 2 will
leave Portland at II 80 a. M, and train No.
at II 90 p. m, arriving at st, Paul 9 100 p
M and 7'3O a. m, respectively, in time for
all departing trains eastward. One train
goes via Helena, Mont. and one via Butte,
in each direction These trains run through
the most important cities of the northwest,
and are hauled by new and enormous
Schenectady locomotives, making, when
necessary, Is or 50 miles an hour.
These diurnal trains will amply accom-
modate the large immigration and tourist
travel that seems probable this year.
During the Yellowstone Park season one
train in each direction will carry Pullman
First Class Sleeping Car especially for
Park travel.
Inquiries regarding this new train service
may be addressed to any Northern Pacific
Agent, or to CHAs. S. FEE, Gen'l Passenger
Agent, st. Paul, MINI.

LIVING OCEAN TRAPS
Monster CLAIMS That Catch Huge Prey
in Their Visc-Like
Shells.

In South Pacific waters are found
some of the largest shells known. One
is a clamlike shell with huge ribs, called
the tridacna, one valve of which has
been known to weigh $50 pounds. The
meat alone wei ghed IS or more pounds,
and single animal, if served, on the
half shell, would afford a good meal for
so men. The tridacna has the habit of
lying with its valves partly open, as
though to trap some unwary traveller.
1t has earned an unsavory reputation
and is considered an animal to be avoid
ed unless means are at hand to render
it harmless.
The attention of white men was first
attracted to this trap when a party of
collectors were rowing over the reef in
search of rare corals. They suddenly
saw large fish beating the surface
violently with it's head out of the water.
AS they drew near they saw that the
fish was large shark which had been
caught in a living trap. Its tail, or the
lower lobe, was held securely by giant
shell, the tridacna, the strong and
powerful mollusk, clinging to it with
vise-like grasp.
There is a case on record of man
having been entrapped in similar way.
He was an American collector, unfamil-
lar with the reef and it's strange inhab-
itants, and, seeing what he supposed to
be a greatgreen sea anemone, attempted
to grasp it. But the anemone disap
peared and like wise the edges of the
shell clamped the wrist of the unfortu-
nate collector, who, to his horror, found
himself anchored in a STOPPING posi-
ton by his hand.
The tide was rising, not person was
in sight and there was apparently no
possible chance of escape. The col
lector, fortunately, had knife, and,
almost crazed by the pain, he began an
attack upon the shell, but every thrust
he made only caused the powerful ami
NAL to clasp him closer and add to his
agony. It was impossible to cut around
the shell, the rock being too hard, and
the only thing to do was to wait and
hope that the shell would relax and
permit him to jerk his hand out. Sec
onds seemed minutes and minutes
hours. The water was rising higher
and higher; a gentle breeze had sprung
up, and waves began to form that threw
the water against the captive. He had
about determined upon a terrible al
ternative-to cut off his hand to save
his life, when the shell visibly relaxed
its hold, and with quick jerk he pulled
out the manned and helpless member
and turned in shore.-N. Y. Sun.

LOST FAITH IN HIS TAILOR.
A Gentleman of the Old school
Whose Clothes Were Tribe
Too Loud

Col. Tarker is staid old West side citi.
zen who has made fortune in land. He is
an aristocrat of the old southern school,
courtly and impressive. His collars are
made in the fashion of so years ago, and his
neckties the same. Withal the colonel is
what New Englanders call "a bit near" He
has his clothes made by cheap tailor. They
are always modest, respectable black of re.
marka BILE pattern and fit. But they suit the
colonel. One day last week he walked over
to visit his daughter living on Prairie av.
enue.
"What makes you look at me so serious.
Typ he asked, presently, guilty self-con-
scious.
"Why, father, what have you been doing
to yourself?"
Nothing, daughter, nothing. II have
on new suit of clothes"
Sure enough, the colonel had on a new suit
of clothes. The effect was gorgeous and
startling. The trousers were loud check,
very tight and a trifle short. The coat was
a short blue frock, mottled with dark red
He wore cheap red tie. The righteousness
of the situation finally overcome the
daughters gravity, and she laughed until
she cried.
"In heavens name, father, where did you
get those clothes?" she asked, at last.
"Wartz made them. He-he said checks
were stylish, and the cloth came cheap, and
IL said | wasn't particular, you know;
never am"
The mild and dignifed old gentleman had
transformed himself into comic valentine
without knowing it. His faith in Wartz is
now somewhat shaken, and he has donned
an old suit.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

ICE YACHT RUNAWAY.
In Which n Young Girl Has n Mirac.
ulOus Escape from a Ter
FiDle Death.

Some years ago there was a runaway
down at Shelter Island, in which
young girl was left in the boat with a
gale blowing. She tried to throw the
sheet loose, but it was frozen and her
fingers were too cold, added to which
the sheet had fouled the tiller, and she
could not bring the boat up into the
wind to stop its way, the sail being so
set that the boat continued running
right along at terrific rate of speed.
Occupants of the other boats soon
realized the position and made chase,
gaining but slowly, one boat finally
being far in the lead of the others by
the time the end of the island was left
behind. Right in front lay the end of
the ice, broken short by the action Of
the tide water, and there the breakers
rolled in, throwing up the anchor ice,
dashing it down, and then retreating,
sucking it under the foe and packingit
up for another break. For some time it
was question as to whether the chas-
ing boat would catch up with the girl
before she was carried over the edge
came together for one brief second, the
girl was snatched by strong arms to
the pursuer's yacht, the sheet was
eased off in flash, and, spinning round
in its own length. it was set right be-
fore the wind instead of reaching into
it, just as the runaway dashed over
into the anchor ice. A short, sharp
crack gave notice of the parting of the
ice beneath the very runners of the
now homeward bound savior. and with
long stagger, which only her speed
nabled her to withstand, she dashed
across the fast opening crack, safe, to
be brought up into the wind at dis
lance, while the late runaway danced,
wreck, among the broken ice. It was
one of the close calls of ice yachting
which, thank goodness! very seldom
occur.-Wilford P. Pond, in Frank Les
lies Popular Monthly.

Have You Tried Swamp=Root?
To Prove for Yourself the Wonderful nerits Of This
Great Discovery Every Reader of This Paper
May Have Sample Bottle Sent
Absolutely Free by Tail.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form of it and never suspectit.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. DR.. Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of
Swamp-Root, which has proven itself
most wonderful cure for all diseases of
the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such a
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure of all uric acid troubles.
1fyour water, when allowed to remain
undisturbed in glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours. forms a sediment or
settling. or has cloudy appearance,
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
