1t is said the rev road will cross
the river at this point, which rumor
gives rise to another pointed suspic-
ion as to whether or not the St. L..
P. Il N. people are directly interested
in the construction of the Crescent
bridge. II is the purpose of the road
to run solid trains on fast time be-
tween the two terminals. and in
touching at such points as the three
cities and other river towns to secure
as much of the freight business as
possible. And such is the assurance
an official of one of the interested
roads gives Peoria people.

from this distance that the managers Of
this blackboard line are simply indifer-
ent as 10 their schedule running time,
and that the acting Postmaster Of Eu-
reka does not sec fit TO compel them to
meet that schedule, or stand the fines
prescribed by the department. Unless
the evil Is corrected at ouce, the peo-
Pile OF this section win take steps TO see
that it is.
