THE BAKER HEATER
IS UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE THE
Best Apparatus for Warming Railroad Cars.

It warms the floor of the car, and the feet of each passenger.
It permits thorough ventilation. The temperature can be easily
regulated. It does not freeze up, and is always ready for use. It
uses less fuel than any other heater. It is in use in hundreds of
ordinary cars, and in nearly all the drawing-room, dining, sleeping
and special cars in the country.

PATIENCE

When possible, is, undoubtedly, a gem equal in value, in some respects, to the "pearl of great price." It helped Job through some rough experiences. But it will be scarcely available to most of the good people of this country when they come to know of the Royal Arch grandeurs awaiting their enjoyment at the charming Summer Resorts in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, where they are as thick as diamonds in Golconda all along the lines of that _Great Bonanza Railway_, whose other name is

CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL,

unless they can get at them "right away quick." _Then_ they cannot control their

IMPATIENCE

to at once view those delightful spots,--

"Where breezes baffle heat;
Where shaded dells and mossy coverts be;
Where giant trees to heaven raise their heads;
Where earth is free, and nature unconfined
Fills the soul with reverence."

* * * * *

_Then_

Conceive me if you can
In a fairy summer land,
Where weary bones find rest
In loose and careless dress,
A jolly, contented old man.

In plain prose: Those who wish to be enlightened as to matters so imminently concerning their welfare, can be so far gratified, by applying (before the edition is exhausted) to A. V. H. Carpenter, General Passenger Agent, Milwaukee, Wis., for a copy of the beautifully illustrated book entitled "A Reconnaissance of the Golden Northwest," and for a copy of "The Tourist's Guide".

TOOTLE'S OPERA HOUSE, ST. JOSEPH, MO.

The reputation this theater has made for itself, and the fact that it is known as the pioneer Opera House in the West, render it unnecessary to offer any extended description. While theaters have been erected, calculated to surpass in beauty and costliness Tootle's Opera House, few, to-day, can legitimately claim equality, and none can surpass it in all that pertains to the arrangement of a first-class place of amusement. The stage is 40 × 67, with an opening 34 × 35, and is furnished with a full complement of scenery. Recently the house has been thoroughly renovated, repainted inside and outside, and re-carpeted; a new drop curtain hung, and the apparatus for lighting the gas by electricity placed in the building; a new steam heating apparatus and the water works connection are also among the improvements; capacity 1,500. Tootle's Opera House is located in the very center of a city of 45,000 inhabitants.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE, TOPEKA, KAS.

Formerly known as _The Topeka Opera House_, but, to avoid a conflict of titles, name changed to that of GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The house was built by a stock company; 300 residents financially interested; cost $60,000; capacity 1,500; stage is 60 × 67 feet; the proscenium opening is 35 × 38 feet; eight large dressing rooms; full complement of scenery; only ground floor Opera House in the city; can be emptied in _one minute and a half_; absolute safety guaranteed to the patrons of the Grand; Topeka is the capital of the State, and the principal city, commercially and politically; constantly thronged with strangers; resident population about 27,000. Messrs. Wood & Updegraff are the local managers, but all communications should be addressed to Mr. Craig, at St. Joseph, Mo.

THE GILLIS OPERA HOUSE, KANSAS CITY, MO.

This elegant theater, rapidly approaching completion, is being erected under the provisions of a will which requires _that the net earnings of the house shall be applied to the maintenance of a permanent home for destitute children_, and will be opened early in September, 1883. When completed, the Gillis Opera House will have cost $100,000. It is centrally located, being within four blocks of twelve hotels. Nearly every street-car line in the city passes its doors, either on Fifth or Walnut streets. It is therefore evident that the Gillis has a decided advantage of location for the resident as well as the transient population. All appointments of auditorium first-class; means of exit ample--three entrances on ground floor, and two spacious staircases, each 20 ft. wide. The stage of the Gillis is one of the largest in the country, 42 × 124 ft.; height of scenery 28 ft.; height above scenery 32 ft.; proscenium opening 37 × 46 ft.; seventeen dressing rooms, green room, reception room and music room. _First-class_ attractions can safely book a week at the Gillis, and none other need apply; 109 nights already booked. Population upwards of 100,000.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

SPIES & SMART, 12 Union Square, N.Y., are my accredited agents, and at all times the open time at the Gillis, Tootle's, and the Grand can be found on file at their office. I shall be there until June 20.

ROCKFORD WATCH CO., Rockford, Ill.

GENTS: We have a little story to tell in regard to the running of one of your adjusted movements on the Boston and Maine R.R. We sold it and regulated it a short time before the engineer put it in his pocket, the 9th of last April, and ran it upon Cambridge time for ten months, and the total variation was only 24 seconds, and then he neglected to wind it up. Variation was less than 3 seconds when it ran down. He ran from Dover to Portland, 105 miles a day.

Yours truly,
TWAMBLEY & CLEAVES.

The movement referred to in this letter is still carried daily by its owner, Geo. W. Smith, on the engine Dover.
