Peak and Chasm. In whatever direction the Colorado tourist may choose by rail, if he goes to the mountains his jonrney is a succession of glorious scenery, varying in the characteristics of placid beauty, grotesque ruggedness, and awe-in-spiring grandeur. Up the canons are stu pendous walls rising perpendicularly, or gradually sloping back toward greater hills, or. yet again, lean- . ing forward above the chasm’ as if threatening to come tumbling down —projecting great rocks that hang suspended over the train as it glides ’ smoothly by - a panorama of wonaers and grandeur such as belong only to the R oc k y“M o unta ms. To enable people to reach Colorado without unnecessary expenditure of time or money, the UNION PACIFIC has put in effect very low rates x and splendid train service from Missouri River to Denver. Accommodations provided for all classes of passengers. Full information cheerfully furnished on application to W. G. Neimyer. G. A., 193 South Clark St., ; Fri 4 t Chicago, 111. The ladies of the Barkley ML E. ohurch will hold a social at the ohurch on Friday evening June 12th. Ice cream, oake, and lemonade will be served.
