Last Chicago Excursion.

Crops are all in and prices are high. Take a day off and enjoy an excursion to Chicago, Sunday Sept. 26, via the Monon Route. Take a sail on the blue waters of Lake Michigan, soar into the azure skies on the Ferris wheel: jwist the lion’s tail or poke the polar bear at Lincoln Park; visit the temple of Thespis in the Masonic Temple Roof Garden; study the old masters at the Art Institute; see the World’s Fair over again at the Field Columbian Museum, or take your wheels for»a royal spin through the 200 miles of parkway and boulevard of the Garden City. The train will leave Rensselaer at 8:57 a. m. returning at 11.00 p. m. and the fare is only 75 cents or less than the price of a single bushel of wheat.
