For my part, should be willing to hazard
the statement that twice as many minds
have been injured than have been bene-

the former have been made entirely
worthless by the practice. 1t is just like

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tation of passengers or property than 1t
charges for like and contemDoraneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another Why then patron
i1e the railroad that offers the inferior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be we'll patronized. The Missouri
Pacific Ry(Fort Scott Route)offers such in
ducements as mentioned above ana a great
many more which space will not permit to
enumerate. If you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the latest
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it a trial and you will always
thereafter take the popular route. 1t is
the short line to St Louis 10y 4S miles as
we'll as to all Colorado, California and
Washington Territory points. Before
purchasing your tickets call at the city
