battling Railroads.

The Galena train came in about two
hours late Monday afternoon, laying
the Woodnian ont to the extent of an
hour or more.
A new windmill tower has just been
completed south OF the depot and the
two man sweep will give place to the
powers of the air as means of propell-
ing the silvery stream into the tank.
The new tower is higher and more sub
stantially built than the old one.
That portion of the narrow guage
which suffered from the washout some
weeks ago is now in as good shape as
ever.
The stock yards for some time past
have presented an animated spectacle
in the early morning, furnishing point
Of interest for numerous early risers.
The stock trade has its ups and downs
though it is but fair to say that in this
city it has been mostly up during the
present season. When the broad guage
arrives Lancaster is bound to take the
lead as a shipping point for stock.
A new time table went into effect
Monday on the narrow gauge which
makes several important changes in the
running of the trains on that road The
Galena passenger which formerly left
at 10 a. m. now leaves at 1890 a. m.
and connects at Montfort with passen-
ger going east, giving travellers direct
communication with Chicago with little
if any wait at Madison. Returning, the
Galena passenger reaches here at 2:35
p m. instead Of $40 as heretofore The
morning freight leaves now at 8 a. m.
instead of eight and arrives at $50 p. m.
instead Of s p. m.
The Woodman passenger now leaves
Woodman at 9:45 instead of 9;l5 and
arrives in Lancaster at 1890, and re-
turning leaves at $3.50 p. M. instead of
p. m. as formerly, shortening the time
in this city to about three hours.
This change makes it much better for
parties wishing to come from or reach
Boscobel, as freight train leaving the
latter place few minutes past nine in
the morning reaches Woodman in time
to connect with the narrow gauge. In
the evening connection is made at
Woodman with another freight going
east.
THE new road between Madison and
is expected to be completed
during the present month.
