HARVEST EXCURSIONS.

Tho Corn Palace at Sioux City. ABE YOU GOING WEST? This question applies to everybody. Some will say ye*, while others wid answer, “Not if we know ourselves; no West m ours.” Well, perhaps not But time works wonders, and no one knows what a day may bring forth; tho: ofore those who have no idea of going West just at present should keep posted a little, for there is no telling how soon the “Western fever” may strike ttiem, and if it does their departure will bo as sudden as that of a bank cashier who has got on the wrong side of the wheat market So we say keep posted just a little, and particularly as to the best and safest road over which to make a Western trip. From Chicago there are numerous wellequipped railways that branch out to nearly every section of tho great West, none of which are more prominent than the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. For years this road has been noted for its enterprise in improving its train service anl it- efforts to provide comfort, convenience, and safety for the traveling public. This is a fact which is uppreeiateii by those who are obliged to spend much of their time in a passenger coach or a sleepingcar. It is a pleasure to travel on any division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and iSt Paul, for a more courteous and obiigmg corps of conductors and subordinates cannot bo found than is in charge of the numerous trains of this popular railway system. Trains are leaving Chicago over this line for different points in tho West almost hourly. One of the new and popular trains recently added to its service is that which leaves Chicago every day at 7:30 p. m. and arrives at St. Paul the next morning at 9:30 o'clock, and at Minneapolis oply'thirty-fivo minutes later. Ibis train is'known as the “business man’s favorite,” because he can leave Chicago after business hours and arrive in St. Paul the next morning before business begins. Another very popular train upon this road is the Sioux City short line. Leaving Chicago at noon daily, passengers arrive in Sioux City shortly after 9 o’clock tho next morning, making close connections with trains for Northern and Southern Dakota. Elegant dining cars are run upon this train, upon which dinner, supper, and breaklast are served in a stylo that traveling men say is ahead of any other road. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Railway offers superior advantages to all who contemplate a Western trip. Its various lines traverse Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa, and Dakota to a greater extent than any other road. Its equipment is firstcla*s in every respect, and travelers who patronize it speak in the highest terms of it Parties who propose to attend the great “Corn Palace” festivities, which are to be held at Sioux City, lowa, from October 3 to October 8, inclusive, should not fail to buy their tickets over the Chicago. Milwaukee and St PanL The next Harvest Excursion over this favorite road will leave Chicago October 11. Tickets for this excursion will be sold at half rates to points in Minnesota, Dakota, and Northern lowa. For further particulars address A. V. H.
