ST. PAUL ROAD GETS BIG ENGINES. Largest Ones Ever Built to Be Used in Fast Passenger Runs. Larger Trains and Quick 8c*- ’ules Are Expected to Be the Ultimate Result. Several of what are claimed to be the largest locomotives ever construct ed were received by the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul road yesterday. In these days of large engines each fresh consignment received by a rail road during the past year or two has had the distinction of being the larg est. While these monster locomotives have in a way ceased to excite sur prise, those just received by the St. Paul road are remarkable in their di mensions. For example, the diameter of the driving wheels is eighty-four and one-fourth inches, or one-fourth of an inch over seven feet. Following is a technical description of the new giants: Diameter of driving wheels, "414 inches. Diameter of compound cylinders, 25 and 15 inches. Stroke of cylinders, 28 inches. Total length of engine, 68 l'eet 11 inches. Steam capacity of boiler. 200 pounds. Fire box, 8 feet 8 inches by 5 feet 5 inches. Number of hues in boiler, 350. Heating surface, 3,215 square feet. Capacity of tender, 1S.000 pounds of coal and 7,000 gallons of water. Thinks Fast Time Possible. General Passenger Agent Miller of the St. Paul is enthusiastic over the new engines, alleging that they will tend to revolutionize schedules and power. He says they will be capable of hauling fourteen or fifteen heavily loaded coaches or sleepers sixty miles an hour. Grades will be little or no obstruction to the leviathans. The locomotives will be put in ser vice on the limited trains between Chicago and Milwaukee and between Chicago and Omaha. Friends and debts should be cheer fully and promptly met. It's a poor contractor who doesn't show up with a bill for extras. SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA IS CALLED THE “GARDEN OF EDEN,” By a Former Resident of Reed City. Michigan. In a letter to the Reed City, Michi gan, Clarion, Mr. Jas. G. Armstrong, of Meltford, Saskatchewan, says, writ ing on 27th May, 1901: “This is a fine country for a poor man, as he can go out on the hay slews and cut all the hay he needs. He turns his cattle out on the prairie, and when he is not using his horses he turns them out also. There is such an abundance of food, they never wan der away. “A lady, who has lived here eight years told me that this was the origi nal ‘Garden of Eden’. I certainly would believe it, if we could only find the apple trees. But as it is, we have many varieties of fruit—strawberries, cranberries, saskatoons, huckleberries, red and black currants, dewberries, plums, red and black cherries, and red raspberries. All of these fruits grow wild. Then the flowers that dot the prairies, making them look like a real garden. We have eaten of the wild red currants, and they are equal if not superior to those grown in Michigan. We have sweet corn TVz inches high. As the Western farmers are all done seeding, branding cattle and sheep shearing are now progress ing. Wool is only five cents a pound, and many ranchers have on hand last year's clip. I enclose you a potato blossom, slice of new potato, which measured 6% inches when cut. This is no fairy tale, as we are so much farther than Reed City. It is all facts. Come up and see. This has been truly called the ‘garden of the west.’ With fruits and flowers, lakes and streams, fish and fowl, beau tiful rivers, tracts of timber and mountains, what more does a man want?” Information concerning all parts of Western Canada will be cheerfully given by communicating with the agent of the government of Canada, whose advertisement appears else where.

INSIST ON GETTING IT. Some grocers say they don’t keep De fiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands contain ing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won’t be able to sell first, because De fiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. Pickles of vinegar will not keep in „ a jar that has ever had any kind of grease kept in It. THE LIVE STOCK MARKET. Latest Quotations From South Omaha and Kansas City. SOUTH OMAHA. Cattle—There was not a particularly heavy run of cattle, hut still there was not the life and activity to the market that is noted on some days. That was perhaps due to some extent to the fact that the quality was nothing extra. There were only about ten or fifteen cars ol corn-fed steers in the yards, so that the more desirable grades sold at just about steady prices. The cow market was not very active, but about steady with yes terday's close. The last half of the mar ket yesterday was not as good as the first part, and packers bought their supplies today about the way they did late yester day. The choicer grades have not de clined much the last two days, but me dium kinds and cauners are weak to 5(8 lOo lower. There was very little change noticeable in the prices paid for bulls, calves and stags, but it was evident that packers did not care for the commoner kinds, and as a result they moved very slowly. Stockers and feeders were in light supply, but at the same time there were fully as many of the common kinds as were wanted. Hogs—There, were not quite as many hogs on sale as yesterday, but still re ceipts were fairly, liberal. The market was rather slow in opening, as buyers and sellers could not agree on terms. As has been the case for some time past, tin* ^ best heavy hogs were bought up first this j morning and prices ranged strong to 5c j or 10c higher than yesterday.

REPORT BY ADMIRAL DEWEY What lie Says Over His Own Signature of Schley. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The fol lowing is Dewey's report on the Schley inquiry: In the opinion of the undersigned the passage from Key West to Cien fuegos was made by the flying squad ron with all possible dispatch. Com modore Schley having in view the importance of arriving off Cienfuegos with as much coal as possible in the ships' bunkers. The blockade of Cienfuegos was ef fective. Commodre Schley in permitting the steamer Adula to enter the port of Cienfuegos expected to obtain infor mation concerning the Spanish squad ron from her when she came out. The passage from Cienfuegos to a point about twenty-two miles south of Santiago was made with as much dis patch as was possible while keeping the squadron a unit. Commodore Schley was the senior officer of our squadron off Santiago when the Spanish squadron attempted to escape on the morning of July 3, 1898. He was in absolute command and is entitled to the credit due to such commanding officer for the glor ious victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish ships GEORGE DEWEY, Admiral U.

Hunt, who has just returned from Panama, it pays a nation to own gunboats, with a record behind them."The rev olution at Panama," he say. "will do no harm to American property. The rebels have been very careful to touch none of that, for recent events have taught them what the consequences will be.” Rigid l)resa Regulations. Harvard students of today would be likely to rebel if they had to con form to rigid college rules on the subject of their dresss, and violation of which rendered them liable to a fine of not less than 30 cents nor more than $1.60 for each offense.

Hester, Mo., Dec. 16.—An unusual case which has recently come to light here is exciting the keenest interest among medical men. Mrs. Ellenor Huardhouse suffered for over forty years with Sciatic Rheumatism so se verely and so constantly that her case has been regarded as chronic and ab solutely incurable. At times the pain was almost unbearable and she could not rest day or night. Some months ago she was induced to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy re cently introduced in this neighborhood. The immediate results were magical and she continued till she had taken eight boxes, and now she declares she has not an ache or pain left. She be lieves that she is completely and per manently cured and as she has not used the pills for some months and is to-day in the best of healtli the doctors who were at first skeptical are amazed. The man who earns his first thou sand dollars always looks up to it with pride. A slide down hill seems ten times as swift and fast when you are on it as when the other fellow Is.
