An Easy Way.

Readers we love an easy way. An,

our fellow.mortals in finding GU

whose network Of lines extends from
the great chain of American lakes,
beyond the Missouri River, and down
to the lower Mississippi Valley, con.
Meeting with all the main lines leading
to the shores of the Pacific Ocean and
the Mexican Gulf.
A trip over the Burlington Route u
is realization of all that human in.
genuity can conceive for comfort and
luxury. And the general public, not
slow to recognize superiority and de.
cided conveniences, have made il
necessary for the management to add
train after train for the accommoda-
ton of an ever-increasing traffic, ard
they can now count twenty eight (28)
passenger trains in and out of Chi, a
60 every day. In the matter of fast
trains, the e. B. & Q. stands pre-emi-
nent in the lead of all Western roads.
Safety and rapidly are allied to COM
fort and luxury.
For smoothness of track, rapidity
of transit and immunity from danger,
the Chicago Burlington and Quincy
Railroad is unsurpassed, if equaled
by any other line in the West. The
substantial rock bed and fine STEEL
rails on all the tracks place accident
from insufficiency of construction al
most beyond possibility, while the
arrangements for arrivals, departures
and travel of trains are SO perfect as
to place accident from any deficiency
in these matters equally beyond prob
ability, if not beyond possibility.
The arrangements for the comfort
of passengers are equal to those for
their safety, and there the master
hand of the Burlington management
shows itself in decided manner.
The Day Cars are models of elegaE
ees.
The famous G. B. & Q. Dining. Cars,
equal in table appointments to the
best hotels of the country, are luxuri-
ously fitted up. Passengers can enjoy
their meals leisurely while being whirl-
ed across the country, free from the
old ten or twenty minutes style of
rushing to the ordinary dining station
and swallowing in a hasty manner
whatever could be secured to merely
satisfy the hunger. Now the latest
delicacies of the season and well-pre.
pared dishes, under direction Of a
master of the culinary art, are served
up to tempt the most fastidious epic
ures, with all the time any one may
desire to take in a full complement,
and enjoy every morsel; and the
pleasure and comfort Of a first class
meal, at a very moderate price, are
added to the contemplation ofpleasing
scenery, while this enjoyment and
leisure in no way impedes progress
toward destination.
The lovers of the fragrant weed are
not forgotten in the distribution OF
accommodations, and the after dinner
cigar can be enjoyed in style of ORR
entail splendor in gorgeous smoking
cars, only a step away.
Keeping sight of social duties, the
daily observance of which should be a
part of every life, the gentlemanly
managers of the c. B. & Q. have pro-
vided handsome and elegantly fitted
parlor cars, where the sexes can enjoy
the society of each other in pleasant
way, arrangements being such that
conversation can be carried on in
groups or in tete a tete, innocent par
Tor games can be INDUCED in, adding
to other advantages that of friendly
and agreeable visiting.
