A Tendency to Improve.
President Thomson, of the P. R. R., Talks After an
Inspection Trip.
PHILADELPHIA, May 24. — President
Thomson, of the Pennsylvania railroad
company, has returned-from an inspection
trip over the lines between Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, and the Pennsylvania com-
pany’s lines west of the latter city. Mr.
Thomson said :
‘I am-very much pleased with the gen-
eral condition of the property, notwith-
standing the enforced economies of the past
eight or nine months. In Pittsburg, Cin-
cinnati, Cleveland, Louisville, Indianapolis
and Chicago I found the tendency toward
improvement strong. The universal opin-
ion in the west is that the crops of the com-
ing season will be unusually heavy.
‘‘As soon as we find that the traffic is in-
creasing and other conditions warrant it,
we are prepared to expend the usual
amounts for improvements. The com-
mercial depression has been felt most
severely in the iron and steel business, and
as the Pennsylvania system passes through
the districts most- directly intcrested in
that kind of traffic, we naturally feel the
depression more keenly than some of the
other roads. However, the tendency to-
ward improvement in strong.”’ &
To Eastern ‘Farm Renters.
Why pay rent year after year and have no farm
when you get through? The landlord has your
money and the farm at the end of the year. Why
not go to South Dakota and buy a good farm with
the money that you now pay for rent? You can
get new, rich land near good towns on the Chi-
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, on easy
terms, say from $5.00 to $10.00 per acre. Buy now
and get a share of this year’s crop. For full par-
ticulars write to H. F. Hunter, Immigration
Agent for South Dakota, 295 Dearborn street,

this season.
We have almost doubled our last
season’s business, and are turning out
as stylish headwear as can be seen
anywhere. We have not only set the
pace, but created the styles for Belle-
fonte.
Our Millinery ideas are extensively
copied by others, which is certainly
a tribute to our vanity, but they are
like all other imitations. They gener-
ally fall far short of the original. As
we are not depending like other Mil-
linery establishments on a 3 months
business to .gake enough profits to
keep us going for a whole year, we
can afford to sell our Hats at a much
lower range of prices, and we do it.
Our prices on our Millinery is fully
Y3less than any other Milliners in

All Hats are trimmed free when
