Great Opportunities. !.

The Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern railway company is nearing
the completion Of its 14O miles of lew
extensions in the very richest portions
of southwestern Minnesota. The six
new towns, Reading, Wilmont, Lismore,
Kenneth, Walters, and Conger are rap
idly becoming commercial centers for
the rich and already thickly settled
country surrounding. There has been
no auction sale of lots or any attempt
to boom these towns; their growth be-
ing the result of demand for convenient
markets.
1t Is the purpose of the railway COM
pany to encourage the continuous, sub
stantial growth of the towns on their
lines. In order that each town may re-
ceive the attention Of ownership, 1t has
been decided to sell each town entire,
including all unplatted land TO private
parties. For terms of such purchases,
address the undersigned. For business

How Do Eel. BreedY

1t may fairly be said that the eel, as
to its breeding, is the most mysterious
animal in existence. Its method of
propagation has puzzled science for
centuries and has been a subject of
more or less superstitious speculation
among many peoples for thousands of
years. The ancient Egyptians had their
own theories respecting the matter.
Some authorities have contended that
cells grew up from horsehairs which
in some strange manner became vital
lied; others have held that they were
ger Grated spontaneously from slime,
while others still have gravelyA advanc-
ed the belief that they came from the
skins of old cells or yen from similar
exuvin of water snakes.
That cells mate with water snakes is
very generally accepted as truth. Most
popular among people who get their
living from the water, however, is the
theory that cells are the progeny of va
rious other fishes. The Sandman fish
ermen assert that they are produced by
certain kind of water beetle, which
for this reason is called "mother of
eels." The Greek poets, who fathered
all children otherwise unaccounted for
upon Jupiter declared that this god
was the progenitor of the eel. = Elk

Anus live in dwellings of about the

accused is subjected to long eXamina-

is then compelled to resort,to the ordeal

question cannot be settled in this way,

again he was attached to his bride. In
some way they all got out into the
street, when presently Mr.. Melville
found himself alone in q carriage with

alarmed and turned first white and
then red. The bride was frightened.

some dreadful mistake has happened"
"Dreadful mistaken" she replied.

Mr.. Melville happened to think of the
note he had written. Could that have
anything to do with the matter?
"You received my note?" he asked.
Miss Abigail said no and shook her
head very decidedly. Mr. Melville
sank back into the carriage. 1t all
came to him at once--how Miss Abigail
had misunderstood him and, he. not
hearing her replies. she had thought he
proposed.
And now they were married. What
dreadful situation! What should he
do? And here they were back ut the
house, and Joachim, the unwilling
author Of all the trouble, was sitting
on the top step. having escaped from
Miss Abigail's room.
Smith-Jones and Potter were aston

carriage and. leaving his bride, rush up
the steps swearing audlbly at his pet
and Kicking the poor cat down the
steps.
OF course there was scene, and the
bride retired. to be comforted by Mrs.

Paris that night, but it finally ended in
their both going a few days later,

EXPOSITION COMFORT.
TIME AND TROUBLE SAVED AND AVOIDED AT
sTATLER's, THE GREAT PAN-AMERI.
CAN HosTELRY.

The time lost and trouble entailed by try
ing to attend an Exposition that is remote
from the large centers Of big city, and
therefore from the good hotels, is entirely
obviated at the Pan.American at Buffalo.
The Exposition management are to be
congratulated on the fact that right against
their grounds, and indeed, forming of itself
distinct attra lion, they have what is con-
ceded t, be the most wonderful hostelry ever
built-namely, Statler's Hotel.
Although only three stories high, the
enormous building has 2Ioo rooms and can
easily accommodate over 5000 people. The
dining room will seat 200 people 10 a single
meal without crowding, and so perfect is the
organization and equipment that it is no un-
common thing for a whole tralnload of vis-
itor', numbering well into the hundreds, to
be taken in charge and comfortably accom-
modated without causing so much as a ripple
of excitement A good. clean, comfortable
room, together with breakfast and evening
dinner can be readily secured for So 90 or
S2.so a day, while for those who prefer to
board outside good rooms may oe had on the
European plan for 81 90 and 81. so. Under
the same management, good meals at as and
go cents can be obtained at Statler's down.
town restaurant in Ellicott Square, which is
one of Buffalo, most famous gostronomic
resorts.
Intending visitors to Buffalo, therefore,
can well afford TO turn deaf ear TO all the
stories told by runners and touts, on the
trains and elsewhere, about the impossibility
of getting accommodations and extortionate
charges for same. Stater's can and will
take care of all who come at most moderate
figures while in addition to this the convent
ence of being right on the grounds all the
time and of being able to view the glorious
illumination 1T night from Stater's towers
and terraces without the fatigue of return
Journey from more remote quarters is well
worth travellers consideration.
