To iook at. it body or homeopathlc itiYSi clans one would never think that they couid make enough trouble for three great west- em railroads to keel ) the passenger olilcinis of these hues awake at nights , But that has been the reat status of the matter for the last few days. It flu hinpened ilko this : To properly en- tcrtain the rlsitiug doctors , especlaily those from the cast , some of the local doctors ttrraiiged for a six hays' excursIon trip through Nebraska , Colorado and Utah.

The Union I'aclllc , the flurhlngton and the Rock Island roads will ali offer ( ho sanie inducements to p tourIsts for the trip , but the assengcr inca of all three lines report that It does not look as though the nuniber of such tourists would be any'iicre uicar as large as was anticipated. There will be no special train for this trip run by any of the three lines , the addItional traille having been arranged for in extra cars attached to regular trains , Tue reduced rate will bo effective out of here on June :30. : Ciii. rt'r ( Hi ( lie 'I'IIlIt's Case.
