Xos Content with Being the Best

Whatever may be said in regard to the
propensity of the management OF great rail-
way lines to provide for the public only what
is actually demanded in the way of accom-
modations and comfort. can IN no way apply
TO the management Of the Chicago, Rock
Island s; Pacific Railway, Or as il is more
famliarly known, The Great Rock Island
Route This line has for years been recog-
nized as the best and most comfortable
route between Chicago and Kansas City and
the Southwest. and has been abundantly
able OH this account to successfully cope
with its competitors. But not satisfied with
this and its already elegant equipment, its
managers have caused to be turned out of its
shops at Chicago, magnificent line of Din
ing Cars which go into immediate service
on the Kansas City Line. These cars con
tain al the conveniences of well furnished
dining rooms, are elegant in design and
finish, and models of the advanced railway
art of the day. Within them meals are fur
nished equal to those of any first-class hotel
in the land at the low rate of seventy-flve
cents. Travellers OH this line now find on
its trains all the comforts and conveniences
of hrst-class hotels. Besides the best of
first and second class coaches there are Par
lor Chair Cars, (which are free to all passen-
gers holding through frst-cass tickets,) Pull
man Palace Sleeping Cars and Dining Cars.
The Company's hnes-all of which are
equally well equipped-also extend to Coun-
eli Bluffs and the West, and Minneapolis and
St Paul and the Northwest: and the desery-
cd praises bestowed upon it by returned
travellers who speak from experience, make
it noted throughout the land.
We bespeak for the owners and managers
of this magnificent Railway ample returns for
their generous provisions for the wants of
the public, which is, as has already been
proven by the patronage extended to this
line, quick to appreciate and patronize those
who prove by their deeds and generous
treatment that they are devoted to it's com
fort and welfare.

AS a SURGEON.

To begin with. DIR. Hendriok is well prepared
for his profession. having had liberal educa-
ton and tie regular f ting that Is only got in
the best medical colleges and hospitals. And
during eighteen years OF professional life be
has had as good luck as any other surgeon,
in 1mputating arms and legs, hanos, fingers,
feet and toes in excislng tumors, cancers, and
various vicious growths: in adjusting fractures
OF bones and dislocations OF joints; IN operat-
ing on all the various forms OF piles and rectal
diseases, and IN treating those abnormal con-
ditions recuhar to the female sex. In every
direction there il vast amount of good work
that shows for itself; hence any amount OF
enylous pickering can avail but little. And as
far as surgical instruments are concerned, he
has as choice an array OF the best OF what Is
made. as may be found in any other Office in the
county. In the future IN the past, as good a
Job i'll surgery as the case may admit OF, NAV
be reasonably expected of DIR. Hendrick, and
he always has his share OF that kind OF work
