The central point is BURLINGTON, on the Missis sippi. It traverses Tinois and the whole breadth of Southern Iowa. Near the Missouri, its trunk forks into three branches, for it has three western termi ni. Its northern terminus is Council Bluffs, where, crossing to Omaha, it connects with the Union Pacific for all places on the intra-continental and Pacific slopes. Overland travel and traffic chose this reliable route more and more. Its next terminus is Lincoln, the Cap ital of Nebraska, fifty-five miles west of the Missouri at Plattsmouth. This is the only direct avenue to the South Platte country, where the sales of railroad land last season, rose to half a million. Tts third terminus is at Hamburg, and Nebraska City. At Tamburb, it makes close connections, ‘twice a day, for St. Joseph, Leavenworth, Kansas City, and the whole Southwest. In journeying then, from the East to Kansas, via Burlington, you enjoy ad vantages you can secure on no other line You both pass over a road second to no other in speed, or safety, or any Pullman luxury of modern travel; and while on you way, survey the garden of Iinvis and Missouri, as well as 400,000 acres of prairie in South-west Iowa, now in mar ket at low prices and long credit. Keep it then ,before the people west ward bound, “to take the Burlington Route.” Tps. School Tp.
