Go EAST BY WAY OF ST. LOUIs.-ln these
days of competition the wise traveller selects
his route before leaving home. In almost ey-
cry instance he desires to reach his destina-
ton as speedily as possible, and for the &C.
complishment of that purpose the Missouri
Pacific through line from the west to the east,
via Kansas City and st. Louis, offers induce
ments unsurpassed by any other line in the
country. Everything connected with the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad is first class, and the
adoption Of the Miller platform and Westing-
house air brake, together with its Pullman
sleepers. and reclining chair coaches, render
trip over the line perfectly safe and pleasant.
Passengers from all Kansas City, Leavenworth,
Atchison and other prominent cities. are land
ed in st. Louis at seasonable hours morning
and evening, and in ample time to make direct
connection with all railroads for every point
in the north, east and south. Particular in
formation with maps. time tables, etc, may be
had at the various ''through ticket offices in
the west, or upon personal or written applica-
ton to G.. H. Baxter, western passenger agent,

The PUBLIC ENDORSE IT.-The efforts Of
the managers OF the St. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern short line, to meet the requirements
of the travelling public, has resulted in large
increase in through passenger business, which
has kept up admirably, notwithstanding the
dull times, mainly attributable to the extensive
improvements made in the last two years, cost
ing over two millions dollars besides earnings.
The company is now running five Of those mag
nificent day coaches. fitted with Bucks reclin-
ing and adjustable chairs, and dressing rooms
with every desirable toilet convenience, with
out any extra charge. Ten more Of these SUI
perb coaches, to supplant ordinary cars, are in
process OF construction, each of which will
be finer than the preceding ones. Great at
tention Is given to safety, the coaches being
supplied with Blackstone's platforms and coup
lers, to prevent tclescoping and oscillation.
Watchmen patrol the line day and night, be-
fore and after the passage Of each train, to see
that everything is in good order. This system
of watchmen gives this road extraordinary ex-
emption from accidents, and especially that the
impaired iron has been replaced this season by
the best quality of new steel and iron rails,
laid on broad, new ties. This road continues
to run six fast express trains, two more than
any other road between the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi rivers. Any ticket agent selling
through tickets to the east, north or south,
sells tickets over this excellent road. For map,
