Special, One Way Excursions.

The Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific Ry. are now running semi
monthly Excursions through to Port
land and San Francisco, via Denver,
for the exclusive benefit of holders
of second class tickets who want first
class accommodations. Only one
change eff cars between Chicago and
Portland and none to San Francisco.
These excursions leave Boston every
second Tuesday and Chicago every
second Thursday of each month,
and are personally looked after to
destination by Conductor in charge
assisted by Porter. Our Pullman
Tourist Sleepers (Which accompany
these Excursions) are all new and
built on the general plan of First
Class Sleeping Cars, having double
lower and upper berths. The upper
ones are closed during the day and
the lower converted into comfortable
seats. The aisles are carpeted, and
mattresses, sheets, blankets, pillows,
curtains and lunch tables provided,
while the toilet rooms have plenty
of pure water, and towels, soap,
combs, brushes, etc. The only prac-
tical difference between them and
the First Class Sleepers, is the alb
sence of upholstering. A moderate
charge is made for these accommo-
dations. Full information can be
obtained from Jno. Sebastian, Gen'l
Ticket and Passenger Agent, Chica-
go, or any Rock Island Ticket Agent.

ing the cables Will be large. Never before have both
cables parted at the same time.
