At Madison, we took passage at 1880, P. NJ,
On the newly finished Madison, Beloit &
Chicago Road. From Chicago to Beloit,
and north westerly, this road has been com.

was sold to the North Western, and since
that time the connection has been made
with Madison, making this the most direct
route from the latter city to Chicago. We
embarked in charge of conductor Brown,
and passed through the pleasantest portion
Of Wisconsin we have ever seen. ABEL,
at Madison, and ROSE, at Beloit, are the
men of the late extension portion, and bet.

Of railway officer can be done by any one
who has a card Of instructions to go by,
but it requires more sense than a machine
has to use discretion in working for the
interest Of Railroad. This discretion,
coupled with an active interest in the new
line, is possessed in a large degree by
Abel and RosE. They are life long
zttacles of this line, and merit every, favor
which the libcrality or the interests of the
company has to grant. 81 'a'a.'a
