designed to afford travellers all in,
formation on the thousand and-one
things they need to know with re-

placed in charge of an experienced
man, supplied with all railway

known as the Bureau of lnforma-

travellers may apply for information
and receive full and correct answer.
This is the only Office of the kind

cannot but prove help and conve-
nience to the travelling public. All
trains of the Burlington enter and
depart from this station, and the in
telligent and valuable service of the
bureau may be enjoyed by all pa

A special pamphlet will be issued

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-One thousand of
Chicago's 7,270 saloons will probably
close between now and September
/. Unless conditions now exist
ing shall change it is said that
1000 more will go out of business
before January /. The wholesale re-
duction in the number of drink resorts
will be brought about by the action of
the brewers. The majority of them
have determined not only to cease pay
ing licenses for saloons, but also to re-
fuse further credit. Thousands of no.
tices to this effect have been sent to
saloonkeepers during the last week.
To-day the issue Sof licenses for the
three-months period begins. For this
license Sl95 is paid. Aside from the
three Anglo American companies there
are thirty-eight or thirty-nine indie
pendent breweries in this city. The

of kind scarcely known in other
lines of business. Breweries fitted up
saloons for men starting in the bus'-

They paid the keepers license fee and
gave him credit for the beer he pur-
chased. Last year they generally
ceased supplying saloon equipments.
To-day they viii inaugurate further
