THE JOURNALS
CHICAGO
Newspaper Train

Beginning with Sunday, 18th
instant, and continuing until the
adjournment of the Chicago con-
vention, THE JOURNAL will dis
patch each day a special fast news
paper train over the ''Monon" route
to Chicago, reaching there not later
than 9 A. NJ. This train will not
carry passengers, but is sent out for
the sole purpose of placing THE
JOURNAL on the streets of Chi
cago at an early hour, so that the
thousands of Indiana people who
will be there can get the news of
the convention as it relates to Indi-
ana's candidate for the presidency.
1t will be the fastest newspaper
train ever run In the West, the
schedule showing a rate of nearly
fifty miles an hour.
THE JOURNAL will have a
large force Of special correspond
ents on the ground, who will cover
completely ALL the news features of
the convention; and, while they
will give fair treatment to every
candidate, they will especially look
after every point of interest in the
contest as IL affects General Harri-
son.
The paper will be found at all the
principal hotels and news stands,
and at the headquarters of the In
diana delegation at the Grand Pa
cifc Hotel and the headquarters of
the State central committee at the

PRINCE ROLAND BoNAPARTE, who will wit

thropology. The spectacle of 10000 men all
going crazy at once and vying with one an
other in their exhibitions of frenzy, will be a
new revelation to the French scientist as to
the eccentricities Of the human race. But he
must not conclude that these men are in
curables If he could follow them to their
respective homes after leaving Chicago he
would find them all speedily settling down to
the everyday duties of American citizens
