ST. H. Den ring Tells of n Few
Things Seen on a Trip
to the West.
Greeley, Colo.. Aug. 22,1903.
Editor The Journal,
^Thinking that some of our
lends might like to know what
t have seen on our trip to the
fast, 1 will write you a few lines.
. O. Magness arul myself left
the 13th of August for
Itoclc, where we tot)k the
Island for Colorado,
e ate supper at Booneville,
is the only town of import
ance we saw in Arkansas after
Little Rock. Night came
on us about the time we reached
Indian Territory, so we saw
little of the “nation.” We
took a through sleeper for Colora
Springs, so we were nicely sit
uated for the trip. This sleeper
was made up principally of Little
and “Hot Springs people go
Manitou and Colorado
and by the time we reach
ed our destination we all seemed
like old acquaintances.
We awoke the next morning at
Reno, Okla. This seemed to he
beautiful country. From its fine
wheat, corn and cotton fields and
fise stock,we pronounced it a good
. But the good part of
appeared oy the time,
reached Sayre. We took break
at Sayre, which is a “city”
about the size of Paroquet. There
a depot, one or two stores,
banks and a real estate sign.
k
If there is any good country in
Western Oklahoma we failed to
see it. But now the most fascina
ting part of our trip began; we
were coming to the plains. Through
the extreme western part of (>k
lahoma, Panhandle Texas and Now
Mexico, a distance of about 500
miles, it was nothing but a broad
expanse of plains, generally roll
ing, and sometimes very broken.
Not a tree, nor even a bush, could
ibe seen. We would go for miles
/and miles without seeing a living
thing, net even a bird. A notie
able feature of the trip across the
plains was the faet that where ever
we saw the habitation of man
there we saw birds, but nowhere
else. Here and there we would
sec the ranchman's hut and herd,
but they were sometimes far be
tween. In the western part of
Texas we would sometimes see
where hundreds of cattle had died
together last fall. In ourcountr.v
the bodies would have decayed and
nothing but the bleached bones
been left, but from some peculiari
ty of the dry climate decomposi
tion did not set in and the Itodios
merely dried up.
We have all heard of the groat
plains and have read about what a
hazardous journey it was to cross
the plains in early days, but one
must cross them to be impressed
with the trip. .The contrast of
crossing the plains now in a l‘uli
man palace car, and in the days of
Kit Karson, when they could only
be crossed on horseback and be
haunted by the treacherous In
diaus, was frequently mentioned
by the passengers. We saw but
| little to break the monotony of the
trip, except a few prairie-dog
towns, occasionally a coyote, one
small herd of elk and one antelope.
W© passed one large Indian vil
Tcarrs emulsion
to carry the weakened and
t along until it can fud
i ordinary food.

nuch as they did a hundred years
igo. One old Indian man, clad
n his blanket of many colors and
iis head plumed with large feath

Night came upon us before we
reached the mountains in Colora
do and the next morning found us
sidetracked in the beautiful city of
LYdorado Springs. Here we visit
'd some of the most important
points of interest ; the famous soda
springs, of Manitou, north ami
south canon, Glen Eryo, the Gar
ion of the Gods and a few other
places. We were more impressed
with the Garden of the Gods than
anything else we saw. There the
forces of Nature have left their
masterpieces to impress the hu
man mind with the sublimity of
creation.

We landed in Greeley on the
18th. Much could be said of the
beautiful little city of Greeley,
which is nicely situated on a high,
level plain, five thousand feet
above sea level. It is by far the
finest town of its size that either
of us has ever seen. It has a pop
ulation of about <>,00u, and has
beautiful, shady streets, a fine city
park, city hall, eleven churches,
four tine free school buildings, the
state normal school, a million dol

until recently claimed that the

thrown over it by a baby show.

the little “coon." That put an

“It has been five years since I was cured of
heart trouble by your Heart Cure and Nerv
ine, and 1 am just as sound as a dollar in
that organ today. For several years I had
been suffering with my heart. Breathing
had become short and dilficult at times,
short, sharp pains about the heart, sometimes
accompanied with fluttering would make
me feel faint and languid. The least excite
ment or mental worry would almost unnerve
me. I felt that the trouble was growing
worse all the tune, and alter trying many
remedies prescribed by physicians without
obtaining relief, 1 was induced to give your
remedies a trial. 1 was relieved the second
day, and after taking three or four bottles all
symptoms were removed and have never
showed signs of returning."—Rev. Geo. W.
KikacoPE, Ckincotcague, Va.
There ore many svmptomsof heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more com
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liver or
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without *
cause. If you have the least suspicion that®
your heart is weak study your symptoms an.l
