1t is the duty of all persons before
starting on a journey to ascertain by
what route they can reach their destina-

are two or more roads leading to the same
point, to decide which is the safest and

We take pleasure in stating, that the
CHICAGO AND NoRTH-W EsTERNR RAIL
WAY is the Oldest, and several miles the
shortest, route between Omaha and

road bed has been put in admirable con
dition, and almost the entire line has
been relaid with steel rails.
The Depot in Chicago is centrally To-
Gated, and as their trains arrive there
thirty minutes in advance of all other
lines, passengers can always be sure OF
making Eastern connections. For all
points in Northern and Eastern Iowa,
you should purchase tickets via Mar

points in Northern Illinois or Wiscon-
