ALL RECORDS BEATEN.
The Railroads Carry More People Than
Ever Before


All previous records in passenger
traffic have been completely outdone
during the past two days. and be it
said a credit to the trunk lines lead
ing toward Chicago from the great
west, they have met the demands of
the situation, though it must be said
it has crowded them somewhat
to do it. The Rock Island
has been hustled to its utmost capac-
ity, but has gotten there, and what is
better. up to noon today had landed
all who had entrusted themselves to
its care, in safety in the bic city,
which is being honored today. As
far as the c.. b. Il Q. and c., NJ. &
st. p, the two other lines in which
Rock Island is interested, are con-
cerned, it is reported they have made
equally proud records on their main
lines, and have hauled people into
the Worlds fair city by the thou
sands.
The Rush Unprecedented.
Here in Rock Island. which is one
OF the principal terminal points on
the famous system which bears the
city's name, something of an idea of
the magnitude of the rush Chicago
ward could be obtained by visiting
the Rock Island depot. Commence
ing Saturday the c., II. |. Il p. run
its trains in sections of two and four,
and all were damned, people stand
ing on the platforms and in the aisles
of the coaches, and, in fact. riding
everywhere. but on the roofs ana
trucks. Between 6 o'clock Saturday
night and t yesterday afternoon, 80
passenger trains registered for Chi
cago out of Rock Island. 10 of which
have gone east in the last II hours.
The number Of people handled is
unprecedented in the roads history,
rs ii Is in the history of every other
line entering Chicago. Indeed. so
crowded were most of the trains. that
people who purchased tickets from
Rock Island. preferred to wait rath-
cr than to crowd into already over
! loaded coaches. and so many stood
about the depot all Saturday night
waiting for better prospects. and
! then had to take accommodations
such as they could get.
In addition to the 275 tickets sold
up to Saturday morning. 400 more
were disposed Of by Agent Plummer
up to noon today, making nearly 200
people leaving Rock Island for
Chicago day ut the Wcrld'S fair.

signs of insanity in a most violent
form. and who proved to be former
railroad brakeman on the Rock Isl
