Meeting Public Requirements.
The efforts of the managers of the St.
Loaid; Kansas City and Northern Short
Line to meet the requirements of the trav-
eling public have resulted in a large increase
in through passenger business, which has
kept up admirably, notwithstanding the
dull times, mainly attributable to the ex-
tensive improvements made in the last two
years, costing over two million dollars be-
sides earnings. The company is now run-

of which will be finer than the preceding
ones. . Great attention is 'given to safety,
the coaches being provided with Black-
stoae's platforms and couplers, to prevent
telescoping and oscillation. Watchmen
patrol the line day and night, before and
after the passage of each train, to see that
everything is in good order. This system
of watchmen gives this road extraordinary
I ideate, g*n|| especially
that thdVimpakitd iron
in replaced this sefi^dhby the best
quality of new steel and iron rails, laid on
broad, new ties. This road continues to
run six fast express trams,- two more than
any other road between the Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers, and the only line run-
ning through cars between St. Louis and

In these. days of railroad competition
the wise traveler selects his route before

plishment ot tfe&t purpose the Missouri Fa

with iti Pullman Sleepers and Reclining

IliC Faucics of thfe Siekt
A diseased imagination is the usual con-
comitant Of a torpid stomach. There is
no complaint to which humanity is subject
.which the dyspeptic does not at different
times suppose that he has, or is about to
have. The only way to disabuse the suf-
ferer's mind of these fancies, which are
realities to him, is to infuse life and vigor
into hts digestive organs, and the most
potent preparation'for this purpose isllos-
tetter's Stomach Bitters. There is no af-
fectiijn of the stomach, no irregularity of
the liver or disorder of the bowels, conse-
quent upon indigestion, for which it is not
an absolute specific. During the twenty-
five years that it has been the standard
tonic and alterative of America, millions cf
dyspeptics have recovered their health and
the capacity to enjoy life by the sole aid of
this wholesome and searching vegetable
preparation. As an assimilant and anti-
bilious agent, a Remedy for lassitude, de-
bility, nervousness and morbid fancies,
there has never been anything comparable
to it in any age or country.

: ,vence in what order they come.

ingly. To elucidate the matter, any person
can go to the Galveston Gift Enterprise

ber Ticket at One Dollar, in any distribu-
tion. H, after the distribution of Gifts
are made, the purchaser's five numbers are
drawn in that distribution, {no difference
in what order they may have come,) he
would receive for his one dollar, a Gift of
$1000.
If he purchase a Four Number Ticket,
say at One Dollar, and the four numbers
are drawn out, he would receive a gift of
$400. If he purchase a Three Number
Ticket, say at One Dollar, and the threo
numbers should be drawn out, he would
receive a gift of $160. If he purchase a
Two Number Ticket, say for One Dollar,

out, he would receive a gift of $32. H he

ber of distribution on it. And the distri-
butions of Gifts are made in public, at No.
175 Centre street, rear of Mason's Book
Store, daily at 4 P. ii., as follows: Num-
bers from 1 to 90 inclusive, printed on
separate pieces of paper, are encircled with
tubes, and one by one placed in a wheel
and the numbers well mixed, it is then
opened, and a boy blindfolded draws out
one number, which is exhibited to the
audience. This operation is repeated un-
til the whole twelvo numbers are drawn
out, and these
TWELVE NUMBERS
decide all the Large Gifts in that dirtribu-
tion. All other tickets not so decided, are
each entitled to a gift of Five Cents.

BUTION AT
