HORTON RECLINING CHAIRS
which has been for short time in use on
the Missouri Pacific road These chairs
are arranged on iron swivels and can be
turned in any direction. At first they re-
semble large cushioned, easy chairs, which
they in fact are; with a slight fort the
backs can be thrown back far enough to form
q most coy and comfortable couch Of each
which is perfected by long carpeted foot
rest, which is unfolded from the front of the
seat. At the back Of each chair is an iron
foot rest which may be used. The Horton
Reclining Chair is a decided success, and
will be Of great comfort to passengers es-
pecially, as there Is no extra charge to
travellers for their use. One car thus fur
nished, and otherwise magnificently finish
ed will be carried in every train on the |
Missouri Pacific henceforth.
On arriving ut Kansas City the Leaven-
worth and Atchison parties left the special |
train, after bidding Mr.. Talmage and
friends good bye and paying him merited
