A FORT SCOTT TRAIN.
Commercial Club Will Revive the
Old Elan.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Commercial club is called for this even
ing at the Commercial club. Among the
subjects on the docket for consideration
are the reports of the census revision
committee transportation committee
and the purchase of tax certificates by
county commissioners and the inaugura-
ton of a better passenger service on
the Missouri Pacific railroad.
About a year ago an effort was made
to secure better passenger service be-
tween Topeka. and Fort Scott by the
addition of passenger trains that would
make connections with the main line
trains at Lomax, but nothing was ac-
complished for the reason that the rail-
road maintained that they could not
make the additional trains pay expenses.
Business has of late picked up consfd-
erably, and the Commercial club has
had the assurance that if an effort is
now made III this direction the trains
may be put on.
