Central depot at Chicago at 2:55 p. m., from
there our baggage was transferred to the
Dearborn station, from whence our train
left at 10 O'Clock p. m. The intervening
time was profitable spent, sight seeing i'll

to Cooper a Siegel's immense department

me of september in Michigan, for il is quite
in the fields. The most of the corn fodder
Is left standing in the field after the corn is
husked and cattle and horses are turned in
to feed it down. Hay appears to- have been

quite a number of coal shafts can be seen.
