Two excursion trains will go into Chicago that day, one starting at Salem, a long ways down the road, and the other at Wheelers. The fare on either from Rensselaer is the phenomenally small one of only pte. dollar for the round trip. This is much less than a cent a mile, and is cheaper than staying at home. One tram passes Rensselaer, going in, at 10.06 A. M., and the other at 3 P. M. Tickets are good returning on any train that makes the required stops, from Sept 7th to 9th, inclusive; and the forenoon mail train of Tuesday will let off excursionists at any station.

We believe these are the lowest excursion rates ever offered on the Monon.
