NOTE.--NO EXTRA CHARGE IS MADE ON MICHIGAN CENTRAL FAST EXPRESS.
Adele's advice is very excellent. She says the Michigan Central is the
best road in the United States, and she knows what she is talking about.

THE BEST EQUIPPED RAILROAD IN THE WORLD.
Without exaggerating, and keeping close within the narrow limits of
fact, it may be asserted without fear of truthful contradiction, that
the
CHICAGO & NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY
Is not only the best and most perfectly equipped railroad in the world,
but it is also the most important as to the territory it traverses, the
numerous business centres and pleasure resorts that it reaches, and
the facilities it offers for pleasant, speedy, safe and comfortable
transit for all classes of passengers. It caters alike to the needs,
tastes and abilities of the millionaire merchant prince; to the farmer,
with his plain and simple wants; and to the economical and necessitous;
and gives to each the full value of all he pays for. Its luxuriantly
finished and furnished palace sleeping cars and its more than luxurious
drawing-room coaches are marvels of beauty and comfort. Its coaches
are new and of the most perfect models that have been adopted by any
company, and they are always kept sweet, clean and pure. Its dining
cars are superb, and the meals and service provided in them are equal
to that given by any first-class hotel in the country.
WHERE IS IT?
Starting from Chicago and having various main lines running west,
northwest and north, it covers about all that is desirable in Northern
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, the Upper Michigan Peninsula, Minnesota and
Central and Southeastern Dakota and Northeastern Nebraska.
It is eminently _the_ railroad of the Northwest, and from its
commanding location it controls the traffic of all of the territory it
traverses.
WHAT IS IT?
Over 5,000 miles of the best built and best maintained railroad there
is in the country. It is equal in every respect to any road in the
world, and is believed to be better than any of its competitors. Its
lines are built of heavy steel rail; its bridges are of steel, iron and
stone, and all its appointments are as good as money can buy.
COLORADO & CALIFORNIA.
This Company's line between Chicago and Council Bluffs (Omaha) _is
shorter_ than any other between these points, and was the pioneer in
forming connection with the Trans-Continental Union and Central Pacific
Railroads. Nearly all experienced overland travelers seek this line,
because it is known to be the best, shortest, most comfortable, and
in every way the most desirable. To seek other more circuitous and
inferior routes is accepted as an evidence of inexperience or want of
information.
If you are destined to or from Colorado, Nebraska, Utah, Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington Territory,
China, Japan, the Sandwich Islands, New Zealand or Australia, you
should, in making the trip between Chicago and Council Bluffs (Omaha),
in either direction, see that your tickets read over this great road.
ST. PAUL, MINNEAPOLIS & WINNIPEG.
This road, "St. Paul Line," is the short and desirable route between
Chicago and Madison, St. Paul and Minneapolis; Helena, Montana;
Portland, Oregon, and points on the Northwest Pacific coast, and the
best to travel over if you are destined to or from Chicago and any
point north or northwest of St. Paul. Winona and Mankato, Minn.;
Frankfort, Huron, Pierre, Aberdeen, Columbia and Watertown, Dakota;
Milwaukee, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Watertown and Sheboygan, Wis.;
Freeport, Elgin, Dixon and Fulton, Ill.; Clinton, Cedar Rapids, Des
Moines, Webster City, Algona, Tama and Council Bluffs, Iowa, are a few
of its hundreds of prominent local stations. It reaches most of the
pleasant summer resorts of Wisconsin and Minnesota, and is the road
to take for the health and scenic resorts of the Rocky Mountains, the
National Yellowstone Park, and nearly all of the notable Western and
Northwest resorts that are accessible by rail.
It connects in Union Depots with the Union Pacific Railway at Council
Bluffs, and at St. Paul with the Northern Pacific St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Manitoba, and with all roads diverging from that point.
You can procure tickets over this route from nearly every coupon ticket
agent in the country. When buying your tickets read them carefully and
be sure that at least one coupon reads over the CHICAGO & NORTH-WESTERN
RY. Ask your nearest coupon ticket agent for one of its large maps;
they are FREE, and will show you all of this Company's lines as they
are.
Its London (England) offices are 124 High Holborn, 449 Strand, 3
Adelaide street and 139 Cheapside. Its Manchester (England) office, 1
and 3 Princess street. Its Paris office, 35 Boulevard des Capucines.

THE Lake Shore & Michigan Southern RAILWAY
AND ITS CONNECTIONS
FORMS THE GREAT THOROUGHFARE
BETWEEN THE
EAST and WEST
And Experienced Travelers will tell you it is the BEST Route
"by a large majority."
THIS LINE IS A
DOUBLE TRACK RAILWAY
_AND THE ONLY ROUTE RUNNING SOLID TRAINS_
Between CHICAGO and BUFFALO, through Union Depots, for all connections.
Its equipment is first-class in every respect--such as perfect
Road-Bed, Iron and Stone Bridges, Westinghouse Automatic Safety Brakes,
Miller Platform Coupler and Buffer, Magnificent Parlor Coaches for Day
Travel, Elegant Day Coaches, and the Palace Sleeping Coaches. Well,
words are inadequate to express their Durability and Splendor. They are
simply Superb. These Coaches are run daily, through, between CHICAGO,
NEW YORK and BOSTON, without change.
ONE GREAT FEATURE IN THIS LINE IS, THAT IT IS THE
ONLY ROUTE BETWEEN CHICAGO and the EAST
THAT IS TOTALLY DEVOID OF TRANSFERS BY FERRY BOATS.
And the traveling public should certainly appreciate this great
advantage over all other lines, as transfers by ferries are very
tedious and annoying to the traveler who is anxious to reach the
objective point without delay. Further comments are unnecessary.
All Agents sell Tickets via this popular line, and when passengers ask
for them over the "LAKE SHORE," they smile and say, "You are on the
right track," and they know.

_THIS LINE PENETRATES THE MOST PICTURESQUE PARTS OF COLORADO, NEW
MEXICO AND UTAH, AND IS THE FAVORITE ROUTE FOR BUSINESS OR PLEASURE._
=IN COLORADO= the traveler beholds scenery excelling in variety, beauty
and grandeur that of Switzerland. He traverses canons fifteen miles
in length, with perpendicular walls more than half a mile in height.
He crosses the Rocky Range at an elevation of over 11,000 feet, and
from this lofty pass gazes upward 3,000 feet to the summits of the
snow-crowded peaks. _En route_ to the Pacific Coast he passes through
innumerable places of interest, among which are the Royal Gorge, Grand
Canon of the Arkansas, Poncho Pass, Marshall Pass, the valleys of the
Uncompahgre, Gunnison and Grand, Black Canon, Castle Gate, Wasatch
Summit and Salt Lake City.
=IN NEW MEXICO= he finds ruins more ancient than those of the
Parthenon or Colosseum--the crumbling habitations of the pre-historic
Cliff-Dwellers; he beholds the quaint architecture of the
Spanish-Mexicans or the pueblos of the descendants of the Montezumas.
=IN UTAH= he can bathe in the Great Salt Lake, and inspect the wonders
of the City of the Saints.

To have all the pleasure and ease that I can,
Said I to myself, said I.
There's one way to do it, as all will agree,
And that is to go via D. & R. G.--

_The Chicago and Atlantic Railway runs solid Pullman trains, the
finest ever built, daily between Chicago and New York, etc., by way
of the Erie Railway, and through its valuable connections reaches
every important point in the entire country. The construction and
equipment of the road are of the most perfect description, all
that modern skill can compass having been called into requisition
to ensure safety, comfort, speed and reliable connections, without
having to change cars. This popular line, being almost literally
straight, forms the shortest, quickest and most direct route to Lake
Chautauqua, the highest navigated water on the globe. In equipment
the Chicago and Atlantic Railway is excelled by none and equaled
by few roads in the world. Their superb sleeping, drawing-room and
thoroughfare coaches are simply models of elegance and comfort and
are lighted with the brilliant Pintsch gaslight. Clean bedding, thick
hair mattresses, thorough ventilation and absolute safety, with
polite conductors and porters accompanying each car to provide for
the wants of passengers, are valuable facts not to be overlooked.
Each train has its smoking cars, which among other novelties contain
a buffet, where the traveler may lunch at his leisure. Indeed, the
company have provided every luxury, convenience and solid comfort for
the traveling public, hence their road is liberally patronized._
