As long a time as David reigned, so long has the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway run trains westward from Chicago. The Rock Island is foremost in adopting any advantage calculated to improve speed and give that luxury, safety and comfort that popular patrons e demands. Its equipment is thorough- complete with vestibu'ed trains, magnificent ining ears, slcepers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently improved patterns. Faithful and capable management and polite, honest service from employes are important items. They are a double duty—to the Com- pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment. Passengers on this line will find littie cause for complaint on that ground. The importance of this Line can be better un- derstood if a short lesson in geography be now recited. What is the great Eastern termini of the Rock Island Route?—Chicago. What other sub-East- ern termini has it¥—Peoria. To what important pois does it run trains to the Northwest ?—St. aul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water- town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To what impor- tant Iowa and Nebraska points’—Des Moines, Davenport, Towa; Omaha and Lintoln, Nebras- ka. Does it touch other Missouri River points?— Yes; St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City. Does it run trains to the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains?—Yes; to Denver, Colo- rado Springs and Pueblo, solid vestibuled from Chicago. Can important cities of Kansas be reached by the Rock Island Routef—Yes: its capital city, Tokepa, and a full hundred others in all directions in the State, and it is the only road running to and into the new lands opened for settlement in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation. It will thus be seen that a line tapping, asthe Rock Island does. such a varied territory, has much in that regard to commend it to travelers, as all connections .are sure on the Rock Island, and passengers can rely on a speedy journey, as over a bulk of the system through trains are run, and it has become, ‘and rightly too, the popular ne. A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway leaves Chicago, daily, at 10 p. m. It is called “T'HE Bre Five,” is only one day out, and passengers arrive at Denver, Pueblo or Colorado Springs early the second morning. © * ‘The Rock Island has become a popular Colo- rado Line, and the train above referred to is Ves- tibuled, and carries the Rock Island’s excellent Dining Car Service. * For full particulars as to tickets, maps, rates. apply to any coupon ticket office in the United States, Canada or Mexico, or address. .

If a newspaper man plainly made pub- lic all that he knows about the hidden movements in business or social life, he would be ablg to create many a sensation as well as to enlighten the general public concerning many things whereof they are likely to die in ignorance. We sup- pose the Catholic priest and the physician know more than any of their neighbors concerning the personal life of the com- munity in which they live, but an experi- ence of a quarter of a century leads us to the conviction. that the newspaper man comes next to them in the abundance of hisknowledge, and in certain departments he does not yigld even to them. Nor is his diseretion less great, for in spite of his anxiety to print a readable sheet, and contrary to the general impression that be puts everything he hears and mueh he imagines into his newspaper, he is one of the most secretive of men and carries about with him a whole menagerie of secrets, the escape of any one of which would crefite a prodigious ‘uproar and sometimes bring a proud head low.
