Extract from Army and Xavy JournaV' Official Report^ dated Oct.Z^ 1874. 
“The match decidee several disputed points, as near as they can be decided : First, that there is no perceptible difference in accuracy between breech-loaders and muzzle-loaders, but that 
the former are the best, as they are certainly the quickest; second, that in our clear climate we may look for even better shooting in the future; third, that

The 
’s 
Chicago and North-Western Railway. 
This great corporation now owtis and operates over two thousand 
miles of road, radiating from Cb.cago like tbi Augers in s man’s 
hand, its lines reach in all directions and cover about all of the 
country north, north-west and west of Chicago. W ith one branch 
it reaches Ratine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, and the country north 
thereof; with another line it pushes through Janesville, Watertown, 
Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Escanaba, to N< gaunee and 
Marquette, with another line it passes through Madison, Elroy, and 
for St. Paul and Minneapolis; branching westward from Elroy, it 
runs to and through Winona, Owatonna, St. Peter, Mankato, New* 
Ulm, and stops not until Lake Kameska, Dakota, is reached; an- 
other line starts from Chicago and runs through Elgin and Rockford 
to Freeport, and, via the Illinois Central, reaches Warren, Galena 
and Dubuque, and the country beyond. Still another line runs al- 
most due westward, and passes through Dixon, Sterling, Fulton, 
Clinton, (Iowa,) Cedar Bapids, Marshalltown, Grand Junction, Mis- 
souri Valley Junction, to Council Bluffs and Omaha. This last 
named is the “Great Trans-Coxtinental Route.” and lha 
pioneer overland line for Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, 
Montana, Nevada, California, and the Pacific Coast, li runs 
through the Garden of Ulinois and Iowa, and is the best, safest, 
shortest and best route to Omaha, Lincoln, and other points in 
Nebraska, and for Cheyenne, Denver, Salt Lake City, Vir- 
ginia City, Carson, Sacramento. San Francisco and all other 
points west of the Missouri river.

Denver. Salt Lake City, Sacremento, San Francisco, or a bundrec 
other northern, north-western, or western points, this great line is 
the one you should take. The track is of the best steel rail, and is 
well ballasted and as free from dust as a road can be made. The bridges 
are strong and durable, and ail the appointments are first-class in 
every respect. The trains that run ov'^r this route are made up of 
elegant new Pullman Palace Drawing Room and Sleeping Coaches, 
hunt expressly for this line, luxurious, well-lighted and well venti- 
lated Day Coaches, and pleasant loungin^ and smoking cars— all 
built by this campany in their own shops. The cars are all equipped 
with toe celebrated Miller Safety Platform, and patent Buflers and 
couplings, Wesiinghouse Safety Air Brakes, and every other appli- 
ance that has been devised for the safety of jiassenger trains. All 
trains are run by telegraph. In a word this GREAT LINE has the 
best and smoothest track, and the most elegant and ct-mfortable 
equipment of any road in the West, and has no competitor in the 
country. It is eminently the favorite route with the Chicagoans 
travelling west, north, or norih-w est, and is acknowledg#*d by the 
travelling public to be the popular line for all points in Northern 
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northern Michigan, Dakota, West- 
ern Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, 
Nevada, California, and the Pacific Slope. 
TO SRORTSMEN: 
This line presents peculiar advantages. For 
Prairie Ctiickens, Dacks, Geese and Brant Skooln^, 
our Iowa Line to-day offers 
More FavoTuhle Points 
than any other road in the country, while for 
Deer and Bear Hunting and fur Brook Trout, Lak. Sal- 
mon, Pike, Pickerel and Bass pisklng 
a hundred points on the Northern and North-western lines of thi 
company will be found unsurpassed by any thing in the West.
