merchants carry large stocks of season.
able and up to.date goods in their res
pective lines, are as q rule liberal ad-

the borders of the county. The show

-Manches ter will have much better
passenger and freight service east and
west after the first OF next week. The
changes being made by the Illinois
Central on account of the opening Of
the Omaha division will be Of great
convenience in travel east, as we'll as
giving direct line to Omaha and con-
nection with the west which has for
many years been desirable. The new
time table will be issued next Sunday
and will give this city another train to
and from Chicago daily. The new
train west is preliminary to the elegant
train now being built for this service. 1t
will be a through train leaving Chicago
at 5.15 in the afternoon and will arrive al
dubuque at 1907 o'clock at night and al
Manchester at 1:30, making the run Of
2aO miles in little over six hours OF
nearly forty miles an hour, including
stops. Returning from Omaha thil
train will leave Manchester about 2:S(
| in the afternoon and reach Chicago
about 10 o'clock in the evening. Thu
departure of the train which now leave
Chicago for the west will be changed
SO that it will leave about2 o'clock ir
/, the morning, and while it will not ar
riRre until about an hour late
thu Hnder the present schedu le, tn
r6nnfng time will be lessened ahou
Two hours and will probably carry tn
morning Chicago papers, which woul'
: benndch appreciated here.
