WANT A LATER MAIL.
Effort of Sheboygan Merchants to Have
Another Train.

Another Train.
Sheboygan, Wis, June 13.-[Special.l
The need of later afternoon mail
than now reaches this city is becoming Il
Subject of discussion among business
men. AS the system now is, Sheboygan
merchants and factory owners do not re-
ceive any Milwaukee mail after 1870
O'Clock in the afternoon, it reaching here
at $3.50 o'clock. Many of them believe
that Il train leaving Milwaukee about 3
O'Clock would be of great value to them
and agitation on the matter is quite liza
bic to take definite shape. Those inter
estcd in the matter believe that if Mani
towoc can be interested in the move,
the two cities may have weight enough
TO secure train from Milwaukee to
Manitowoc at about the time mentioned.
1t is believed that the travel between
the two cities would be greatly increased.
s.S it would give people here and at
Manitowoc chance to transact business
in Milwaukee and still be ut home dur
ing the closing hours of business.
