n Further Cut.

n Further Cut.
Now 1t IS war, sure enough. all along
the line. The Chicago. st. Paul & Omaha
road has opened the fight in dead earnest,
and has come to the point when they al
most offer premium for passengers all
along their route from Sioux Falls to Chi
cago. If any one has any cousins or aunts
or uncles or grandmothers, now is the
time to send them to Chicago. The price
is only 81 for the whole trip, something
that was never heard of before, and will
not be heard of again very soon.
1t has been known for n long time that
there was dissatisfaction on the part of
the Chicago, St. Paul & Omaha road about
the transportation of wheat and -four from
st. Paul and Minneapolis to the east.
This comes from the one-sided arrange
ment the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
road has with the millers by which the lat
ter road gets a decided advantage over
the Chicago, st. Paul & Omaha
road. This trouble has been of long
standing, and the latter road has determin-
ed at last to make a vigorous and enthu-
slastlc kick with view to breaking up the
arrangement. For some time pool has
existed between these two roads which.
according to the terms of the pool could
not be terminated without forty days no
tice being given. This notice was given
by the Chicago, st. Paul & Omaha road
forty days ago, and consequently
the pool ends to-day. This
being the case the latter road to-day adopts
L new passenger rate between Sioux Falls
and Chicago. This is called The ROYAL
Route and in the course it is taking indi-
Gates its right to that title. 1t now adver-
tises to carry passengers from Sioux Falls,
Sheldon, Doom, Woodstock, Hadley Stay
ton, Avoca. Heron Lake and Winnehago
City to Chicago for So; from Mankato to
Chicago for $3.50; from shakopee to Chi
cago for 81, and from st. Paul
and Minneapolis for 81. The same
road also now advertises to transport
passengers with corresponding reduction
to all points East.
This is driving the knife straight in clear
up to the shoulder. The Chicago. ST. Paul
d Omaha road has always had the advan-
tage in having the shortest route, and the
best and most luxurious equipments.
Especially has it had decided advantage
in its delightful dining cars.
which are not surpassed on any road in
the United States, and rarely equaled any
where. 1t has now added the last and
crowning superiority. that of the minimum
price. For 81 the citizens OF St. Paul or
minneapolis or Shakopee car be trans
cred TO Chicago in the most luxurious
md sumptuous cars that human ingenuity
can Ievise, with all the surroundings and
conyeinences that the mind of luan has
been able to devise. The cut Is q terrible
one, and it goes right to the
hears of the whole business. Passengers
from Council Bluffs can sa.e money
by buying local tickets to Sheldon On the
Chicago, st. Paul & Omaha road. and then
buying tickets on this road for Chicago.
| The Chicago, ST. Paul & Omaha road
will have three Offices open in St. Paul
where tickets over that road can be secured.
Messrs. Brown and Knebel, at the Union
depot building, will sell them to all COM
ers, G. H. Petsch, at the old ticket
Office Oh the corner of Third
and Jackson streets, opposite the Mer-
chants hotel. Besides these two W. B..
Wheeler, formerly travelling agent of the
Chicago, st. Paul and Omaha road, and
Geo. Hazard will open ticket office op-
posite the union depot, on Sibiey street,
| under the sign of the red flag.
Now is the time to travel. If any one
has any relatives in the East this is The
time to go and spend Thanksgiving with
them, by the "Royal Rotue.'
