BURLINGTON ROUTE.

CHICAGO SPECIAL CHANGES TIhE.
On and after Sunday, April %. the
Burlington's Chicago Special for Omaha
Chicago. st. Joseph and St. Louis will
leave Denver at 400 p. m. in place OF
8 so a. m. as heretofore.
The change is made in response to q
very general demand on the part of the
travelling public for fast afternoon
train from Denver to the East.
The'new hour of departure is better
than the old one in many ways. 1t
means that one can now make the 1000
mile journey from Denver TO Chicago or
St. Louis with the loss of but ONE busi-
ness day. b. r.
1t means, too, that one can leave prac-
tically any point in Eastern Colorado at
convenient hour and arrive at Denver
in plenty of time to connect with the
Chicago Special.
OF the Chicago Special itself it is un-
necessary to say more than that it has
no superior ANYWHERE. Neither in
speed. comfort nor reliability is it sur
passed by any other train on the conti-
nent.

The Local option Plan.

Now that all fear of a leasing law has
been removed finally, there is nothing
to prevent the stockmen from carefully
considering the measure from an econo-
mic standpoint. The announcement
by the National Live Stock association
committee that anv bill that it may
prepare will contain the local option
feature should remove all fear from the
minds Of any stockman that Jaw
which they Do not want is to be forced
upon them whether or no. In order
that the local option plan may be under
stood it will be explained again.
The national committee on leasing
has decided that any bill for leasing that
it will present to congress will contain .
provision that before it shall become
operative in any county in the West the
stockmen of such county shall express
in some way a desire for the law. AS

such county were in favor of having
such law in effect in their county. The
secretary could determine who the

clause be inserted providing that when
the leasing law should have been in

the owners of all the stock of the new Company,

of the per cent. cumulative Preferred Stock at
par, upon which the full per cent. dividend
must always be paid before the Common Stock
receives any dividend whatever, the Preferred
Stock also having prior right to all the assets
of the Company.
In order to give double assurance to the
general public, whom it is desired to interest as
Stockholders Gnstead of Speculators) and who
may not be fully conversant with such invest
ments, the money required to pay dividends
on said zoe, 900 shares has been set aside and
will remain on deposit with the Central Trust
Company of New York, and the Illinois Trust
and Savings Bank of Chicago, respectively, TO
secure the dividends of per cent per annun,
payable per cent. semi-annualy for period
of five years, i. e., until July Ist, 1905, on all
such Preferred Stock as may be allotted in their
respective territories, and each Certificate of
Stock so allotted will have an endorsement by
said Trust Companies, respectively, to that
effect. We thereby offer, we believe, not only
an absolutely safe per cent. investment, but
which will without question yield consider
