AWORD TO TRAVELLERS We havea word
to say in favor of the Missouri Pacific railroad.
1t was the ''pioneer" line westward and is the
''old reliable" route to st. Louis. With the
improvements which have been made during
the past year. we believe that the Missouri Pa
cite railroad has the best track and the finest
and safest equipment Of any line west of the
Mississippi. 1t is the only line which runs
three daily express trains of fine coaches and
Pullman sleepers, equipped with the Miller
platform and patent air brake, from the lead
ing points in the west, through Kansas City.
Sedalia and Jefferson City without change,
connecting at St. Louis with eleven different
through routes to points north, east and south.

last not least" is an adage rs true it is old,
and its truth is again exemptied by the COM
pletiOn of the new line to the east via Creston
and Burlington, which, though the last, may be
called the best route in the west.
The line consists of the Kansas City, Saint
Joseph and Council Bluffs railroad, with two
daily trains from Kansas City, through Atchi-
son, Leavcnworth and ST. Joseph to the Mis-
souri, state line, there connecting with the
Burlington route, which leads direct to Chica-
go. Cincinnati, indianapolis, Logansport and
Columbus-thrOugh cars are being run to all
these points.
This line is well built thoroughly equipped
with every modern improvement, including
Pullman's sleeping and dining cars and no.

depend on speedy, safe and comfortable
joxrney.
