visions. The work of changing the di-
visions is begun at Chicago. Passen-
ger crews will run from Chicago to OF
tumwa, a distance of 2S1 miles. Be-
ginning at Ottumwa they start west
and run to Omaha, 219 miles. This
takes out one division. At present the
crews run from Chicago to Burlington,
Burlington to Creston, Creston to Oma-
ha and Lincoln. The crews, about 25
or 27, who have their headquarters
in Burlington will be removed to OF

will be eliminated as division point,
as will also Burlington.
Radical Changes in Freight Service.
In the freight service much more
radical change will be made. Begin
ming at Chicago, the freight division
will be made at Burlington. The
freight crews now living at Galesburg

change. Beginning at Burlington the
next division will be at Creston. From
Creston west the division will prob
ably remain as they are at present, or
at least until the road is double track
ed from Creston to the river, when an
other move westward with the division
point will be made

BY this move Galesburg will be the
heaviest loser. That city will loose
all its main line crews, but will still
remain a division point for the ST.

will also be big loser, but it will re-
gain in passenger crews nearly ali
that it loses in freight At present
Creston will not be materially affected
by the change, although the passen,
ger crews who now lay over in that
city will run as far west as Omaha
This will not materially affect Cres,
ton as none Of the crews live in that
city.

Des Moines, May 13.-The state con-
vention of the fusion branch of the
populist party which was called to be
held in Des Moines June 5, has been
postponed indefinitely. Ali Reed, sec
cretary of the state committee makes
this announcement
Mr.. Reed says the railroads of the
state haven't very high opinion of a
populist convention as a drawing
card and for that reason has failed to
give the committee reduced rates.
However, said Mr.. Reed, "the COM
mlttee has decided to work "Shenani-
gan game on the railroads and slide
in on somebody else's dates.
we may come on July or during
the state fair, or at any other time
when there is an attraction here that
the railroads recognize The members
of the committee are indignant when
they think of the fact that halffare
rates have been given for the prohi.
bitionists' convention.

The men who are thus barred from
entering the race WELD the same in
fiuences in managing the affairs of
the party, and it is said that they have
seen the wisdom of the movement and
are resigned to fate. The one name
that has thus far met with approval
for gubernatorial boom, is that of

Iowa City.
The proposed candidate stands

means to give the campaign the right
kind of support.

May Abandon Trip.
The president will not decide until
later in the day whether he will go to
San Jose or not. There is some prob.
ability of the president abandoning
his proposed trip into the northwest
in view of the condition of Mrs. Nc,
Kinley. Unless there is a radical
change for the better the presidential
party will leave for Washington soon
after the celebrations in this section
are over. The president is very much
worried over the condition of his wife
and it is possible many functions ar
ranged in his honor for this week may
be postponed or dropped altogether.
Must Have Rest.
Secretary Cortelyou has given notice
that Mrs. Mckinley, should she con
tinue the trip with the president, will
not under any circumstances engage
in any social functions arranged fol
