| The New Train.
For some time all the western trunk
lines running out of Chicago have
sent out fast morning mail trains
which carry the Chicago morning
papers. The c., r. /. & L. is the
only road which has deviated from
this order of affairs. and now it has
fallen in line with the rest of the
roads, and hereafter it will run a
swift train out of Chicago to the Mis-
sissippi. The train will leave Chica-
go at O'Clock in the morning and
arrive iE Rock Island at 7:20.
After leaving Rock Island it will
be local train to Des Moines. 1t is
to be called the Chicago and Des
Moines, and will leave for the east at
2:O5 p. m.
| Conductors Move.
Hereafter all passenger trains will
be made up in Rock Island. instead
of Davenport. and as heretofore
stated in The ARGUS. il necessitates
the removal of about seventeen fam
lilies to Rock Island. and it
will not be great while until
the traIn-master. train-dispatcher
and road-master's Offices will be in
Rock Island.
