If you doubt the following
and wish to investigate, you
haven't to go to some other
state in the union to prove it.
It's not a long story published
in Missouri Valley about a res

ident in Missouri Valley and

stronger proof can be had.

the age at which people were
married at the present time as
compared with earlier days. As
we had a little time the other

Dear Sir: | wish to advise you
that | have been appointed
Western Representative in Ne
braska, North and South Da-
kota, Main Line of the C. & N.
w. R. r., Sioux City, Ia, to
Co. Bluffs, Ia, and Omaha,
Nebr., including these cities,
for the st. Louis Service Co., a
company corporated with a cap
jtal of $20,O00.OO and run by
the various railroads, as you
will note by the attached circu-
lar.
The object of the st. Louis
service company is to appoint a
good live agent in each town or
village who will sell application
tickets for S1.00 each, which
will secure at St. Louis during
he Worlds Fair room or ac-
.ommodations with or without
BOARD at any price the applicant
may desire.
For instance: a person wishes
20 go to st Louis and spend the
irst week in June, they pay
l.O0 and send the stub of the
application ticket to the st.
Louis Service Co. stating they
wish a room for this period
With breakfast or three meals a
lay, as the case may be; they
state if they wish to pay $500
or S25.0O a week; they state If
they wish to be down town or
within two or six blocks of the
exposition grounds. The st.
Louis Service Co. mails them a
postal giving them the address
of location which they have Sc
cured for the party and attach
ed to this postal is a reply card
which they send to the st.
Louis service Co. about a week
before leaving, giving date
train number and date and
time of arrival in st. Louis,
whereupon a Messenger Boy
with Yellow Cap meets the pas
senger upon arrival, places
them on the right street car,
looks after their luggage and if
they wish to take a hack or cab
advises how much to pay the
driver and thus avoid excessive
prices and they are sure of just
the kind of room they ask for.
If they wish anss.OO room they
pay $500, no more or no less.
These accommodations can be
had in all quarters of St. Louis,
the leading hotels, boarding
houses, private families, etc.

Logan Nucleus: sThe M is
souri, Valley News makes a de-
mand of the city clerk of that
place for the printing of the
tickets for the town election,
and in doing so, gives one of the
pertinent reasons thus: That
the News having been elected
the official paper Of the county,
is entitled to it. We are indeed
glad to note that the News has
been selected a county official
paper, which fact q we were
ignorant of. But we never
knew that a county official pa
per could use that lever for
town printing. We fear the
several reasons of the News will
not hold good, and the City Clerk
Barrett will get the printing
done where he burned please
