MOVE TOMORROW.
Three Dispatches on the c., r.
I. & p. Go to Oes Moines,
RECEIVE OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION,


The Order Had l3een Expected 1t Any
Time-uow the New Time Card Affects
the Trainmen on the Southwestern
Division minor Gossip
The official notification which has
daily been expected has been received
at the trainmaster's Office of the c.,
R. l. & p. ordering the removal of
the three main line dispatchers To-
Gated in Rock Island to Des Moines.
The three men live in Davenport,
but most of the force moved from
that city at the time of the removal
OF the trainmaster's headquarters to
this city. I. NJ. Jones. j. +. Nc
Steen. and J. f.. Cook are the ones
affected by this move, and will ac-
cordingly leave for their new posts
tomorrow. Happily. as yet, no in
formation which tends to otherwise
change the trainmaster's force here
has been received. and it is not at all
likely that there will be any more re-
movals.
Effects Of the New Time Card.
The time card which went into
effect on the c., X. ]. & P. last Sun
day will somewhat change the Law
overs of the passenger crews on the
southwestern division. The train
men running between Rock Island
and Kansas CITY who prior to the
change had a 36-hour lay over here
will now have to use it on the other
end, which will of necessity cause
their removal to the former place
Not great many removals from
this city are expected in consequence.
as this only affects the conductors
aud brakemen on the passenger
trains on this division. The res
taurants in the upper end of the city
may suffer from the change, but as
for the rumor that it will take a
good number of families from Rock
| Island, it is untrue.
