Cheap Excursions to Kansas and
the West.

For number of years the people
of the East have had no good oppor-
tunity to visit the farming and stock
country in the West during the
spring time at low railroad rates, but
this year the Santa Fe Route, AtChi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad,
has decided to give such an oppor-
tunitv, and will sell excursion tickets
on the dates named below, at such
low rates that the cost of the trip
will be within the reach of any per-
son who thinks of going West to pur-
chase farm. The two dates fixed
upon for these cheap excursions are
Tuesday, April 22, Tuesday, May
20. The tickets will be sold on
these two dates, and will be good
for return for 50 days from the date
of sale. On these rates you can
reach any point on the Santa Fe
System in Kansas, Indian Territory,
Texas, Colorado, New Mexico.
Through trains run from Chicago
and from Kansas City over the

new Bluebeard, who is said to be by
far the finest impersonator this part
has yet had. Mr. Joseph OFT now
plays the part of Mutt, Bluebeard's

of the funniest parts in the bur-

melodious new music has been writ
