Special Train Makes a Remarkable Kan
from Cheyenne to Omtha.
O.:o hundred fifty-three and a half
miles in 153 minutes is the record
made by a special train which came in
on the Union Pacific from Cheyenne
yesterday morning, says the Omaha
Bee. It was composed of four private
cars, occupied by E. II. Uarriman of
New York, president of the board of
directors-, JacjbH. Schiff of New York,
director and member of the executive
committee; President Horace G. Hurt
and General Manager E. D ckinson.
The train left Cheyenne Tuesday
evening at G o'clock and arrived in
Omaha yesterday morning at 5:50.
The entire distance of 51G miles was
cove-ed in ten hours and fifty minutes,
including stops. The record-breaking
speed, however, w.is attained between
Grand Island and Omaha. At the
former place one of the monster nf-w
passenger engines, No. 1800, was
coupled to the train and Engiueer
"Cyclone Hill" Clawson grasped the
throttle. Tucked away in an inside
pocket was an order that gave him
liberty to reach whatever speed he
considered his engine capable of, and
the record he made was a mirvelous
one. The throttle was thrown open
to the limit, and at times the train
flew along the rails at speed that
would have humiliated a streak of
lightening.
The train left Grand Island at 3:17 a.
m. and pulled into Oiniba at 5:50, the
average speed having been precisely
a mile a minute. Oly oce stop was
made. This was at Schuyler, where
the train tarried for the purpose of
taking water. This stop lessened the
actual running time about five min
utes, and deducting it therefrom the
average sreed was more than a mile a
minute.
The usual limo made by the fast
passenger trains over the Union I'a
cific between Cheyenne and Omaha is
about fourteen hours, and the lessen
ing of this schedule by three hours
and ten minutes is considered by rai'.-
ro;id men to be a feat of extraordinary
moment.
The special cars of President Hurt
and General Manager D ckinson
stopped in Omaha. Messrs. Uarri
man and Schiff crossed to Council
Bluffs, from where their special cars
were taken to Kansas City via the Kan
sas City, St Joseph and Council Bluffs
line.
The officials had been in Cheyenne
in consultation with Kilpatric Bros. &
Collins-, the railroad contractor?, rc-
1 ttive to the contract just awarded
for the improvements at -Shermai.
Hill. Occasion for the fest run was
furnished by the desire of Messrs.
Uarriman and Schiff to reach Kan-as
City at the earliest possible moment
yesterday.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lic to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The propri
etors of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, coughs and colds, have
given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and
have the satisfaction of knowing it has
absolutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, bronchitis,hoarseness
and all diseases of the throat, chest
and lungs are surely cured by it. Call
ou F. G. Fricke & Co. druggists, and
get a free trial bottle, ltagular size
50c and $1. Every bottle guaranteed.
A new rail cutting machine has been

Loudon, April IS. The war office
publishes in The Gazette a dispatch
from Lord Roberts, dated Feb. 13, sub
mitting General Buller's dispatches de
scribing the Spion Kop and other op
erations from Jau. 17 to Jan. 24. Lord
Roberts deals severely with General
Warren and some others. Even Gen
eral Buller does not escape. Lord
Roberts complains that the plan of
operations is not clearly described in
the dispatches. After sketching Gen
eral Buller's intentions as communi
cated to Sir Charles Warren, who
commanded the whole force, Lord Rob
erts points out that General Warren
seems to have concluded, after con
sultation with his officers, that the
flanking movement ordered by General
Huller was impracticable, and there
fore so changed the plau of advance as
to necessitate the capture and retention
of Spion Kop. which, however, was
captured aud later given up unneces
sarily and disastrously, in Roberts'
opinion.

The majority of persons upon reaching middle age and past
find their blood becomes weak and thin, and diseases that were
easily controlled in earlier life begin to affect the constitution.
Those predisposed to Scrofula, Cancer, Rheumatism, Gout and other hereditary troubles mar escape
till then, but as they age the blood, so long tainted and weakened by accumulated waste matters is no
longer able to properly nourish the body, and it becomes an easy mark for disease. At this critical period
of life the blood must be re-enforced before it can perform its'legitimate functions and rid the system of
these poisons, and nothing so surely and effectually does this as S. S. S.
S. S. S. strengthens and enriches the blood, improves the appetite, and builds up the general constitu
