diamond drill-not only cuts into the
bed of the mine, but bores hole through

THE GREAT REFORM!
Truth is Mighty and will Prevail.


That beloved and much vencrated Father o.
our connlry, George Washington, exhibited his
peculiar trait for truthfuness at an early age
The little story of George, the Ratchet and the
cherry tree is most indelibly impressed upon the
minds OF every generation of this great, good
and glorious America
A'temus Ward once said: ale was better than
George Washington, for he could tell lie, but
wouldn't"
The Agents of the Great Fort Wayne and
Pennsylvania Railroad cannot make any nIs-
representations as to the character, equipment,
etc, OF that popular and magnificent railway.
To say that 1t is the only direct line to the Cen.
tennial Is the truth. To say 1t is the best and
most substantial road on the face Of the globe,
and more money expended to make 1t so, is the
truth. That it reaches all prominent points
east, including Pittsburg, Harrisburg Baltimore,
Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Bos.
ton, is the truth. That passengers can 90 (if
they wish IL by Baltimore and Washington,
without changing cars, is the truth. That the
tares are always as low rs any other route, Is the
truth. That 1t is the shortest and consequently
the quickest route from Chicago to Philadelphia
and New York, is the truth.
Whenever excursion parties are given rates
over the Fort Wayne and Pennsylvania Railway
to Philadelphia, or any point east, tickets are
furnished at the time, and no misrepresentation
made The travelling community can always re.
ly upon the statements made by this company,
and the truth told always by its Agents and re.
representatives. about low rates, fast time, elegant
coaches, beautiful scenery, smooth track, mag
nificent through Pullman Hotel IDrawing Groom
and Sleeping Cars, and of the best continuous
railway line on this continent.
