goods boxes. are happy in the fact that

the same to millet or planting cane.
There is no better feed raised for stock

VESTIBULE TRAINS TO CHICA-

The Vestibu!e train is a new factor
in western railroad transportation. 1t
is claimed for these trains that on &C.
count of there being connected by steel
hoods all danger of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train being
practically one long car. It's Ger
tain that the oscillation of the cars 10
greatly reduced, and it is also certain
that the yestibule trains afford the
greatest comfort yet known to travellers.
The adoption of this style of train BY
the Chicago, Santa Fe & California rail-
way betweebKansas City and Chicago
is strong bid for the passenger traf-
&c between the West and Chicago.
This new road is in many particulars
ahead of its older competitors, and will
undoubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago. tt
