A NEW TRAIN.
One of the Handsomest In
the World.

We take the following interest
ing railroad item from the st.
Louis Republic:
The Chicago 4 Alton Railroad
Co. is preparing to spring a sur
prise on the railroad world by put
ting on Il new train between st.
Louis and Denver within the next
few weeks.
The train, us planned, will be
one of the handsomest in the
world. 1t is now being built in
Pullman shops, and will be turn
ed out within the next few days.
1t will rival the famous Alton linn
tied or RED Train" but in con
tradistinction will be painted blue
and will he known us the "Royal
Blue" AS planned, the train
will mark an ephoc i'll Western
travel thru the st. Louis gateway.
According to the best informa-
ton obtainable, the train will
leave st. Louis about two o'clock
every afternoon and will make the
run to Kansas City i'll n little over
seven hours. 1t will arrive at
Kansas City shortly after 9 o'clock
making close connections with the
Union Pacific train for Denver,
which leaves Kansas City at $40
p. m. The Union Pacific will
carry II cha IT. car and Il sleeper
from the Alton train for Denver.
BY virtue of the close traffic ALI
ancc between the Alton and the
| Union Pacific, the train will be
practically solid from st. Louis to
/ Denver. AT present the Union
/ Pacific train for Denver leaves
/ Kansas City at 6:3O, but on Sun
day change of time will he made
the leaving time three hours later
/ to accommodate the Alton section
/ According to the information
which has been incidentally given
ont by IL wcll-known Alton official
the train was to have been put on
Sunday, but the time has been eX-
tended n few days on account of {
slight delay in the Pullman shops
The schedule of the train will b,
over forty miles an hour between
St. Louis and Kansas City, "A lin.
tied number of stops only being
permitted.
According to the same intorma
ton, the return schedule will max,
it an early afternoon train into
st. Louis, ana the train will b,
an active competitor of the famous
"No. 9" of the Wabash system
Much secrecy has been maintained
by the Alton officials regarding
the new train, altho it promise
to be one of the finest on wheels.

"Und don't der oddcr womans do

betraying considerable anxiety.
You bet they did" replied the jan
itor. "Mr Wassermnn. did you ever
know woman to take snub and not
try to get even?'
"Vhell. vhas in der grocery pees-

Exactly. but you can take ny word
