Trial bottles free Trying Heavier Engines Tho Burlington has rented one of tho big Union Pacific passenger engines for a two weeks trial on its Lincoln McCook run Tho engino mnde its first trip to the west last night on No 3 It is much larger than tho PiJ class of passenger engines used by tho Barlington on this run and its trial is with a view to pur ching machines of this class if it does the work well The engine now Doing tried is a six driver machine with trailers behind aud one pair of trucks ahead of the drivers Tho drivers are seventy seven inches in diameter and carry a weight of 111200 pounds The total weight of the ma chine is 222520 pounds Compared with the P2 jnachines it may be stated that tho Burlington ma chines curry but 91000 pounds weight weight on their drivers Tho Union Pa cific engine is much larger in every re spect Its water tank carries seven thousand gallons Big as these ma chines are they carry nearly 45000 pounds less weight on their drivers than rho Burlington D4 freight engines If tho Union Pacific engino is ablo to haul tho heavy ten and twelve car trains over tho division on schedule time without assistance it will prove just about what tho Burlington wants For some time tho company has been laboring under tho disadvantage of trains heavy and out of proportion to the locomotives and this experiment may mark tho way for the employment of heavier motive power W McConnell asks thf readers of this paper who are suffering with indigestion or dyspepsia to call on him at once and get a bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure If you knew the value of

became the more pre cious they were On the return to Oak Hill another of Monroes guests said to Mr Adams Excuse the impertinence but would you not tell me what inspired the beau tiful sentiment of your toast today Why replied Mr Adams it was suggested this morning by the picture of the sibyl that hangs in the hall of the Oak Hill mansion How strange remarked the less brilliant guest I have
