That’s why we are »o well pleased when people say,—“You Don,t Have
fo Apologize for Riding ou the Denver Roadi" We knew we had the
handsomest train and most perfect service in the Southwest when we
put on those up-to date Pullmans, modern Coaches and luxurious Cafe-
cars. The people have caught on. The ladies appreciate the extra
large dressing-rootps in our sleepers, every one is delighted with those
new Coaches, and it is a veritable joy to take your meals iu the Cafe-
cars! Because of these advantages, also our much the shortest time,
nearly everybody goes to Colorado ©ur way. They enjoy going through
without change.
Arneckeville, April 1.
No rain yet. -I'he small shower
a few weeks ago is all dried up.
There is good prospect for snow
or heavy frost *that would kill all
fruit, which is loaded. Corn is
also growing slowly and cotton has
a bad stand. If it does not rain iu
a few days things will look bad
for a cotton crop, as it is too
dry. All who had planted must
replant and seed is scarce; it goes
at $1 a barrel.
J. Eckert was here to consult
Dr. Arnecke, being very sick. We
hope to see John up and about soon
again.
W. Fuchs of the Hasdorff farm
was here to see homefolks.
Col. Ingersoll’s letter in the last
Record was worth its subscription
price.
The Irish potato mpp is flourish-
ing and if no frost sets in there is
going to be a big crop.
J. Bitterly has purchased a bunch
of steer calves of W. Fuchs, 'price
private. The boys are getting a
move on themselves, as the winter
danger is over. Stock looks good,
but water is getting short in tanks.
The oil-drip that was reported
discovered a few weeks ago is no
more. It is claimed it had stopped
dripping when it was* visited the
ne^ft time. When starting to dig
to look for the place the whole
bauk caved in covering their
place, about fifteen feet deep.
This writer knows the place well
and knows by experience that the
boys were not mistaken, for I have
seen some kind of fluid that I paid
no attention to at the same place
years ago. At one time I and a
few friends stopped for a rest at
this place while on a fishing tour.
One of the boys struck a match on
one of the rocks that the fluid had
been dripping on and when the
match blazed there was a puff of
smoke and a strong odor of oil or
some other kind of smell. It was
tried again but would not burn;
only smoke and no more was
thought of it. It may not be oil
but very close to it and there is
no telling but that an oil gusher
greater than the one at Beaumont
can be struck if a well is sunk
lower than water stands.
- The gas well, as faf as I can
learn.has had nothing done to it;all
await the result of the one across
the river. If gas is struck there it
will surely be found in the Bluntzer
well, as it indicates gas just as the
McCrabb well. A party from
Rosenburg was over here to in-
quire about the well, but no ar-
rangements were made.

An Ordinance.
Double Dally Service
Richmond, Ind., March 18.—
Mrs. Martha Williamferther of Tip-
ton county, 68 years old, after
many years of toil on an old-fash-
ioned carpet loom and at the wash-
rtub, accumulated between $500 and
$600 in currency. She secreted
her hard-earned treasure in a
smokehouse adjoining her home.
The money was placed in a,small
wooden box.
Mrs. Williamfeither went to the
smokehouse to deposit more money
in heriittle bank, and when she
looked into the box she found the
money gone. Soon after her at-
tention was attracted to the house
cat by its mewing. The feline car-
ried a full-grown rat in its mouth,
and a piece of a ten dollar bill was
protruding from the mouth of the
mutilated rodent. This gave Mrs.
Williamfeither a clue to the
thieves. She searched for the den
of the rodents and there found all
of her money, excepting $80 to $90.
Several of the bills were mutilated
and will be sent to the government
for redemption.
The house cat is to be rewarded
with a gold collar lor its shrewd
detective work.
