RAILROAD PLANS
COLONIST TRAIN
WITH WCTROLA CONCERTS
Du Luxe Travel at Low Rate.
Union Pacific Ron Excursions
San Francisco IN 3 Days.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 49," Chickens
Come Home to Roost." That trite old
saying has come true in the case of the
farmers and the railroads at least. The
farmer was the real cause of the rail-
road. If it had not been for him and
his products there would not have
been any railroads, and so, finally, the
farmers value has been officially rec
ognized by the Union-Southern Pacific
system.
The great bulk of colonist travel ev-
cry year is made up of farmers and
farmers sons and daughters going to
the New West to seek out homes for
themselves. In the past-at least until
last spring-they travelled on colonist
tickets that were good in the ordinary
tourist cars, and in the tourist cars
they stayed while on the "trip.
Now Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic
manager of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, has announced that the col
onist trains that will be run from
Omaha to San Francisco, and other
western points, October 13, IA, Is and
l6, will be trains de luxe--in fact, they
are to be officially known as colonist
trains de luxe-and will be practically
the equal of many limited trains. The
unique features of these trains will be
Victor and Victrola concerts, loung-
ing car, popular priced diner and
comfortable tourist seepers. All this
for the homeseeker-the real colonist,
who represents far more money to the
railroad than does the casual tourist.
The Victrola concerts-there are to
be three of them day, in order that
all may have an opportunity to hear
will be given in the iounging car. This
car, which corresponds to the lounging
cars of limited trains, will be one of
the new, comfortable, high backed seat
coaches used by the road, and will be
open during the day and evening; but
no travellers are to be allowed to use it
over night, as the train is a solid
through tourist sleeping car train. The
records for the concerts are the new
double faced ones, and will include
songs, instrumental music, humorous
and dialect sketches.
In the diner, the menu will be so ar
ranged that full dinner may be had
as low as 80 cents, or, If the travellers
wish to carry their own meals, they
may supplement them with hot coffee
or tea at 10 cents, half grapefruit for
the same amount, or similar articles at
correspondingly low prices.
The schedule of the colonist trains de
luxe will enable the traveller TO leave
Omaha at 5 p m. and be in Sacramento
at 3. 40 a. M; Oakland at $50 a. M, and
San Francisco at 7.10a m. on the third
day. Or, if he is routed to Los Angeles
via the Salt Lake route, his car will be
transferred at Ogden and he will be
whipped down TO Salt Lake and thence
to his destination, arriving there at2.30
p. m. on the same day. Or, IL he de-
sires, he may go to Oakland and thence

JOHN ROBINSON SHOWS
WILL SOON BE HERE.

The modern circus is the lineal de-
scendant of the ancient Olympic games
of Greece. The Romans adopted this
form of popular amusement from the
Greeks. The name "ercus is Latin,
meaning circle; and it was used to
indicate the place in each city where
chariot races, athletic contests, etc.,
were held. The circus flourished in
Rome $500 years ago, and for ten GEN.
turies later. With the decadence of
the mistress of the world came de.
cline of the circus in character, and it
was frequently debased by revolving
spectacles, such as the throwing of
those obnoxious to the government,
including christians to wild beasts.
Doubtless it was this that gave the
church prejudice against the circus,
which is today still held by some ex-
tremely conservative church people.
The modern circus has about it moth
ing debasing. Mankind has always
held physical achievement in high es-
TEEN; its heroes are those who have
done something notable. Especially
is courage and the display of leadership
on the battlefield held in the highest
esteem. The military hero stands high
est in the popular roll of fame. Phys
ical prowess delights the average man;
and in the athletic exhibitions of the
circus, the racing, the display of con-
summate horsemanship, and SO on,
which are the leading features of cir
Gus exhibition, nearly every one, young
or old, takes pleasure-and a pleasure
that is most certainly innocent.
Within the last half century or SO
the circus in America has moved to |
much higher plane than it ever before |
occupied. The exhibitions are unob-
jectionable on the score of morality; the
comfort and convenience of spectators
are carefully conserved; there are no
more fear Of meeting insult or disagree
able incidents than there is in attend
ing lecture or theatrical perform
ance. AS a result the old.t time preju-
dice against the circus as a proper
amusement for all classes, ages and
sexes is rapidly disappearing. The
love of diversion and harmless amuse-
ment is Unborn in man. To forbid
them is to turn counter TO human ma
Iure. The Creator would not have i'm
planted this desire for amusement in
were it detrimental
