WORD TO TRAvELERs We have word
to say in favor Of the Missouri Pacific railroad.
II 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
citic railroad has the best track and the finest
and safest equipment of any line west Of the
Mississippi. II 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.
Particular information. with maps, time ia
bles, etc. may be had at the various Through
ticket railroad stations in the west, or upon
personal or written application to G. II. Bax-
ter, western passenger agent, Kansas City,
