Will Do Great Business.

If the talk of the high officials of the Monon can be relied upon, that road is bound to do a remarkable World’s Fair business next summer and the railroad rates will probably be such as to warrant the conclusions of those officials. General Passenger Agent Barker says: “The Chicago and Ohio lines have agreed to run excursions at this rate as often as once a week or oftener if necessary. These rates will be taken advantage es by many persons not living on the direct lines of the roads interested, they paying local rates to our lines. Of course, at such low rates we cannot provide sleeping cars and no baggage will be permitted on the trains, except what can be carried in the bands of the passengers. Firstclass rates with first-class accommodations will not be higher than 2 cents a mile, and may be less. All the lines favor a liberal policy, and I do not think that there will be any friction or rate-cutting. With the rates we propose making we have all the business we can possibly do.”
