GEO FRANCIS TRAIN

TO NIGHT!

(DRAWING)
Under the Management of J. D. JONES.

Geo. Francis Train, the Orator, Scholar, Statesman and Walking Encyclopedia of Knowledge will Lecture in your city upon one of the following subjects:" "The Downfall of the American Public "Ireland and its Cause" "Monopoly and Monopolists" “Canada and Canadians' "Universal Knowledge" "How to Dispose of the Surplus" and supplement his lecture with a discussion of the resources of your own city. Geo. Francis Train was a name once familiar in every American household, and was the synonym of Courage, Energy and Ability. He was regarded throughout the civilized world as the representative American. Mr. Train has traveled three times around the world, visiting all the Barbarians, SeniCivilized and Civilized Nations of the Earth, becoming thoroughly familiar with and mastering their language and-dialects. His memory Is phenomenal, never forgetting anything that has at any time in his life appealed to any one of the five senses.

A man with the brains of twenty men, the energy of a hundred, and the magnetism of a God.

His oratory is grand-majestic. His satire as keen and piercing as the poignard. His wit and re part of as spontaneous and brilliant as a flash of lightning. He is accused of eccentricity, very cheerfully accepting the term, he defines it as being without fixed orbit. For fourteen years Mr. Train has made Madison 8quare, New York City, his headquarters: his companions being crowds of innocent children, who come to him with their confidence and their love, and the little sparrows that flocked about him to take the crumbs from his hand. He would not communicate with adults by word of mouth. This rest so much needed has recuperated his wonderful vitality, and the long pent up forces refuse longer to be Imprisoned. Again he has concluded to take to the rostrum, and again be will wield the same charm over his auditors as in years past. His resources are inexhaustible; his magnetism irresistible, and with the Except re eloquence he reigns supreme.

WHAT HAS THIS MAN DONE?

1. He connected the Continents with the first Steamship line crossing the Atlantic Ocean between Boston, Mass., and Liverpool, England.
2. He inaugurated a system of street Tramway Cars in London.
3. He operated the first Steamship line from Australia to Ban Francisco.
4. Ile gave America its first Pacific Railway, giving transportation from the Atlantic to the Placide Oceans, thereby opening to the civilized world millions of acres of the most fertile lands on God's green footstool, and where less than thirty years ago the savage reigned supreme and the sod was yet unturned, is now populated by over eight million people that have come from all parts of the earth and room left for five times eight million more.

TRAIN AS A PROPHET.

Twenty years ago Mr. Train visited Omaha, Neb. He prophesied at that time that in twenty years It would have a population of 100,000. The most sanguine smiled incredulously: to prove his sincerity he invested largely, built a hotel there in thirty days, and has steadfastly stood by the proposition ever since.

Thu Twenty Years have Elapsed and here is the Result:

OMAHA Contains 110,000 Prosperous People.
Six thousand skilled workmen, Nine National Banks, Twenty-five Miles of Paved Streets, Fifteen million dollars in Bank Deposits, Ten thousand Children in Pubile schools, Sixty- Beven Churches, the third-largest Hog Packing Business in Amerios, largest Smelting and Refining Works In the World, Twelve hundred men making brick.

Crowth of 1887: Eight million dollars in New Buildings, Seven hundred thousand dollars in 8treet Railways, Twenty-three thousand increase in Population, Eighteen million dollars increase in Wholesale Trade.

It has Doubled Itself: Population four years, Wholesale trade in four years, Brick business In two years, Grocery trade in four years, Hardware trade in two years, Lumber business in three years, Hat and Cap business in three years, Dry Goods business in two years, Boot and Shoe business in three years, Live Stock trade in one year, Bank Deposits in four years.

These Roads run to Omaha: Chicago, Burlington & Quinney: Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific; Chicago & Northwestern; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific; Sioux City & Pao- 18e; Missouri Pacific; Burlington & Missouri River; Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha; Kansas City, Bt.
