A.Trip Through The West.
So many of my friends are asking
me for a description of mj* trip west I
thought the best way would be to giye
a few lines to you.
On the 2nd day of August I went to
Chicago and at 6:30 was rolling along
by the side of the big "Chicago drainage canal." Who but Chicago
would ever think of making a river
run the other way for their own convenience? And it seems to be working all right, too. When we reached
Juliet it was not too dark to see the
walls of the Illinois state penitentiary
and the smoke stacks of tlie large iron
mills-there. The next morning I woke
in the beautiful country of west Missouri, with its fine orchards and large
fields of corn, dark and dense-. Kansas
City seems to he surrouuded by a rich
country, and if I mistake not, will soon
be heard from as one of the. thviving,
leading towns of the great middle
west. Eastern Kansas appeared covered with corn, and so tall it seemed
to hide the big wheat stacks, stories
and all, but as-we got farther west the
large wheat crop was more in evidence,
and I guess the stories are all true.
The next morning as I peeped out of
my berth the sun was just rising on
the Kansas plains, near the Colorado
line. The. country is so level the sun
rises so far away it seems as though it
was hardly yet daylight. Before we
reached Pueblo we had seen one coyote, two jack rabbits, many herds of
cattle, several bunches of sheep, two
dry rivers and lots of prairie dog villages. The little fellows sic up as
straight, with that same inquiring
pose of the head, as they did ten years
ago, and they seem as much surprised
to see tho train whirl by as I imagine
tbty did at tbe first train that ever
crossed the plains. At Pueblo I
branched off to spend a week with
friends at Denver, aud enjoyed with
them riding a wheel over some of their
fifty-five miles of finely paved streets,
and on the street car on part of their
195 miles of track, viewing their fine
parks, churches, hotels, etc., etc.,
with the grand old mountains always
in view as a fine background. The new
capitol building, nearly completed,
with stone from "our hills," cost $3,-
000,000. We went to tbe dome and
had a. fine view of the city and surrounding country "and mountains.
Could see Pike's Peak, Long's Peak,
etc., and lots of snow, which, as it
melts gives them plenty of water for
irrigation, and all other purposes. It
=eems to me to be the best drinking
water I ever found, and that I can
taste it yet. Snow water in August.
The air is delightfully cool and pure.
Ou our way back to Pueblo we stopped
at Colorado Springs, took the electric
road to Manitou at the foot of Pike's
Peak, and then the cog road to its top.
It winds and loops around so it goes
nine miles to get one and a half miles
up, and still much of the way it seems
as steep as a„b.oi\SQ roof. It is a wonderful ride. Above the world. Above
the clouds.
Small trees, plants and some flowers
grow up to "timber line," about 12,000
feet above sea level, the remaining
2,000 feet is just broken rock of all
shapes and sizes. The top is not a
peak but quite a broad field of broken
rock. The Summit house, built of
stone, with a small observation-no
hotel-stands beside the track. Looking down and off we see plains, streams,
fields, villages and lakes. Colorado
Springs, Manitou and the "Garden of
the Gods" are at our feet and look like
flower be'ds.
Cripple Creek seems but a stone's
throw. Some of the party amuse
themselves snowballing each other;
others, throwing rocks down a gorge.
Queer old peak. Forever changing;
always the same. When we came up
the engine was behind and pushed the
car up. (One car with fifty people, at
So each.) When we go down the car
follows the engine, but is not attached
to it. Three trains went up that day.
It takes one and a half hours to go up,
same to return. "Now we are down, we
made a short visit lo the "Garden of
the Gods," that strange field of upheaval of red sandstone in all shapes
imaginable. Some places remind, one
of the ruins of an old castle. One is a
large mushroom, another a large frog,
etc., with nice carriage roads and foot
pat s winding around among them.
Queer, strange place. Who measured
out the ingredients and weighed the
pigments and sent you forth in hot
haste from the bowels of the earth to
cool on the'surfaee and crumblein such
fantattic forms. Tp the south the electric car takes one to 'the entrance of
Cheyeune canyon, a huge cleft in the
rocks with a carriage road and stream

makes kidneys and bladder tight.
at the bottom. As we go in, the shadows become cool and damp for the
rocks haug over us hundreds of feet
above. "Grand, gloomy and peculiar."
At the Seven falls, a little stream
comes tumbling down and we take the
plank stairway of 245 steps and go up.
At the top (still there are other points
above us) we took the path leading to
Helen Hunt's grave. Itis marked by
a pile of stones. Each visitor adds one,
and brings away a smaller piece as a
memento. It is a pleasant place among
the rocks and the pine trees. Walking out into the sunshine nearer the
edge of the. cliff, you have a bpautiful
view of the plain below. Colorado
Springs and Manitou at the left, fields
of wild flowers and lake on the right.
Our next Stop is at Salt Lake City, for
one day, which happens to be Su<-day,
so we attended service^ at the Tabernacle. In a large square enclosed by a
wall twelve feet high are the Temple,
the Tabernacle and an Assembly hall.
The Temple, is very beautiful, of white
granite, costing §10,000,000 and forty
years building. The chances for
a bath in Salt Lake was good even if it
was Sunday, and I thought, lhat I could
swim off as I did when a boy—but I
couldn't go much, for my £eet wouldn't
stay under water. It seemed impossible to sink; the water is so dense—25
per cent salt—and I could lay on my
back and without moving a muscle
float like a dry chip. I would liice to
tell you of my journey across Nevada
through forty miles of show sheds, and
across California up to 100 miles north
of Sacramento where the May wood
colony is making- such a success of
fruit raising, but as my letter is already too long I must bring it to a
close. Very Truly,
E. E. Sheldon.

Could not express *the rapture of
Annie E. Springer, of Philadelphia,
when Dr. King's New Discovery cured
her of a hacking cough that for many
years had made life a burden. She
says: "After all other remedies and
doctors failed u'soon removed the pain
in my chest and I can now sleep "soundly, something I can scarcely remember
doing before. Ifeellike sounding its
praises throughout the Universe."
Dr. King's New Discovery is guaranteed to cure all troubles of the Throat,
Chest and Lungs. Price 50a and SI.

"For three days and nights I suffered
agony untold from an attack of cholera
morbus brought on by eating cucumbers," says M. E. Lowther, clerk of
the district court, Centervllle, Iowa.
"I thought I should surely die, and
tried a dozen different medicines but
all to no purpose. I sent for a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy r_d three doses relieved me entirely.1' This remedy is
for sale by Lister & Sheeder.
Dr. W. N. Lewis, Lawrenceville, Va.,
writes, "I am using Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure in my practice amoug severe
cases of indigestion and find it an admirable remedy." Many hundreds of
physicians depend upon the use of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in stomach
troubles. It digests what you eat, and-
allows you to eat all the good food you
need, providing you do not overload
your stomach. Gives instant relief
and a permanent cure. Unterkircher's

lymouth 'Binding Twine
A Comparative Statement showing the Cost and Value of Binding
Twine, based on the supposition that a farmer needs, to bind his grain,
300 pounds of Plymouth Sisal, or Standard Twine, which runs 505 feet
to the pound.
Three hundred pounds pf Plymouth Standard or Sisal will give him
151,500 feet. • -
151,500 ft. of^505 ft. to the lb., weighsSOO lbs. @ 14c will cost $42.00
151,500 ft. of480 ft. tp the lb., weighs 315J- lbs. @ Ifc will cost S44.19
151,500 ft. of 470 ft. to the lb., weighs 822J lbs. @ 14c willcost $45.13

151,500 ft. of 430 ft. to the lb., weighs 352£ lbs. @ 14c will cost §49.33*
We have recently tested twine sent us for examination, that averaged
a little less than 430 feet to the pound.
The PLYMOUTH Twines are the only ones'of these grades that Tun
505 feet to the found. Tou saye by buying them, oyer the lowest
grade,'S7.33 on 300 pounds, or S2.44 per _Q0;' or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells forl4 cents per pound, the otbei'
should sell for 11 66-100 cents, to be as. cheap, and others in proportion
The Moral is. buy PLYMOUTH Twine, and save money, and the
annoyance of loose bundles, caused by poor twinB.
