Smoking and Library cars, which are
at the disposal of Parlor and Pullman
Car passengers without charge.
The Parlor Car service on the Chi
cagO & Northwestern R'y is already
famous, all of those little details
which go so far towards perfecting the
comfort Of patrons being looked after
with scrupulous care. The equip
ment is of the highest type, and the
Inauguration of this service between
Chicago and Omaha, over the only
double track railway between Chicago
and the Missouri River, marks an
other stepping-stone in the upward
progress of transportation develop
ment as exemplifed on the North

GOES NOTHING UNLESS CURED
A Fair Offer Made by J. T. Bennett to
All Sufferers from Catarrh.

T. J. Bennett is selling Hyomei on
plan that has caused considerable
talk amongst his customers.
The plan is different from that
followed by other remedies, but
the remedy itself is different also.
This treatment for the cure of
catarrh has such an unusual record
of cures to it's credit that j. T.
Bennett offers to refund the money if
it does not give the desired benefit.
This is certainly one Of the fairest
offers that can be made and any
one who has catarrh and does not
take advantage Of it is doing him
self or herself an injustice.
Do not suffer any longer with
tickling, smarting, burning, eye
watering troubles that af1ict those
who have catarrh. Hyomei will
cure you, but if you should not find
it adapted to your case, j. T. Ben
nett will return your money.
