If it was offered because of a failure to comply with some contract, either legal or illegal, it was an honest trick to tender its return. Why was it not accepted? Presumably it was an honest transaction, because we don’t suppose there are any skunks in this end of the county. Prof. Berkey is an exceptionally good man and | performed his official duties well. He deserves much credit for the honest and efficient administration of his official Tie only thing against him is that it is his third term, which he cannot help.

They are a double duty-—to the Com- pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task diffienlt of accomplishment. Passengers on this line will find little cause for complaint on that ground. The importance of this Line ean 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 points does it run trains to the Northwest ?—St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water- town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To what impor- tant Jowa and Nebraska points?—Des Moines, Davenport, Towa; Omaha and Lincoln, 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 [sland Route'—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, as the Rock Island does. such a varied territory, has much in that regard to commend it to travelers, as all connections are sure on the Roek 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 Line. A very popular train on the Chicago. Rock [sland & Pacific Railway leaves Chicago, daily. at 10 p. m. It is called “Pre Bic Five,” is only one day ont, 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.
