GET JOUDING RATES.


There are several things developing
that are making Il larger field for the
jobbing business that has It's head
quarters in Hutchinson. The Choc-
taw railroad which has now been COM
pleted to Anthony has opened a terri
tory Of considerable scope that has
been accessible only with wagons.
The Missouri Pacific has granted job
berS rates from Hutchinson to this
territory which will materially help
to increase the wholesale business,
When the Rock Island connection
southwest Is completed as II win be
in a few days, it will no doubt open
up another very much larger territory
and a concession Of Iobbers rates will
no doubt be secured.
Taken all together the completion
Of these new railroad connections will
do great deal to Increase the bust
ness and the commercial importance
OF our city.

exposed and II was quite Il relief

to call II chicken pOX. 1t is really
something Of an irony on that ancient
