PULLMAN ORDINARY
SLEEPERS.

The tourist travel between the
East and the Pacific Coast has
reached enormous proportions IN
the last few years, and calls for a
seecial class OF equipment. To
meet this demand the Pullman
Company has issued from its shops
what it technically calls the Pull
man Ordinary Sleeper" These
cars appear similar to the regular
sleepers being bnilt on the same
plan, but not furnished with the
same elegance. They are equipped
with mattresses, blankets, sheets,
pillows, pillow-cases, towels, combs,
brushes etc, requiring nothing OF
the kind to be furnished by the
passenger. Each car has a stove
for making tea and coffee and do
ing light housekeeping" and each
section can be fitted with an ad-
Unstable table. A uniformed por-
ter accompanies each car, his bust
ness being to make up berths,
keep the car clean and look after
the ants and comforts OF the pass
enger. In each OF the trains
which a. dispatched daily from
Portland by the 0. r. Il n. Co. is
to be found one of these pullman
Ordinary Sleepers." The car at
tached to the "Chicago-Portland
Special" goes through to Chicago
without change, and the one in the
atlantic Express" runs to Kansas
City without change. Passengers
in this car for Chicago change to a
similar car at Granger.
Much OF the first class travel is
being carried in these cars. the
rates being lower, and the service
nearly equal to that in the palace
sleepers.

many crimes committed by the vii.
li,n did his part well, as also did Mis-,
Nellie Brusha, the heroine. who be-
loved her lover innocent in the face
o. the crimes latd at his door.
Wiliord Green, as the father OF the
heroine carried OFT his lines in dig
nified and appropriate style.
w. l. Calvin, as the comic dutch
man and Claude Lockwood beth in
love with the maid acted their parts
to perfection and brought forth M
roarous laughter. Mrs. j. VI. Conner
who saw the crimes Of the william and
convicted him ut the proper time did
her part in pleasing manner
Gertrude Brusha as the wiley little
maid acted her part to perfection
j. NJ Conner as the police Officer
made good record.
The company are to be compli

It's for You, Reader.

The editor of the Fowler lind J
Leader is joker with a serious
ness that attracts attention and
leaves an impression. Here is his
latest, and good one, too:
"About once a week the printer
OF this paper is ripped up the hack
Or lack OF business principles.
o Lord, how would we live If we
had any? We are glad that we
do not. While we have something
like 5000 invested in the printing
business and our weekly pay roll
is larger than any drv goods store
in Fowler, We manage some way to
make both ends meet. Not long
since merchant came to us and
requested US to print some very
touching resolutions about Rev
Iruby, written by our dear friend,
Banker Dague; the resolutions
were printed. The merchant
thanked us very sweetly for doing
so. a month or so afterwards he
wanted an extra copy OF the Leader
TO send to Rev. TRULY. It took an
hour to find the missing number,
the merchant was under many OBJ
legations to Us for the trouble. A
short time ago he came to the Office
Just as the paper was going to
press. He wanted to announce
that Brother Buchanan would be
here next Lords Day to preach.

A form was unlocked and the ite u
inserted. The paper was delayed
about fifteen minutes. Again we
were thanked very sweetly. Yes
t,rday We wanted darning needle
AMI the merchant charged us a
cent for it, and that was business.
W. could tell hundred stories
Il le that. Ii there was any busi-
ness about us we would get mad
I'd swear. Bu there is no busi-
ness about us, so we don't care,
