ule to result from the alterations in the
running card Of the through trains from
st. Louis to Portland. Nos. IL and AZ.
"At present No. AZ furnishes a morning
service through southeastern Nebraska to
Atchison, st. Joseph and Kansas City, leav-
ing Lincoln for those points about ) o'clock
a. m. When the change is made this train
will leave Lincoln at 1870 in the after
noon. No. 20, now an afternoon train,
leaving Lincoln at $40 for Kansas City,
will be moved up to fill the gap in the
morning schedule. 1t will wait till No. 8,
the Colorado train from Chicago, arrives
at 1915 a. M, so No. 20 will leave about
1880 a. m. No. 8 is the train that leaves
Omaha at $40 a. M, so that gives this
city a service to southeast Nebraska.
Another change will be the service from
Billings to Denver, via Alliance. Since
the eastbound through train is moved back
about eight hours, corresponding changes
are necessitated in this run, and they will
be a great Improvement to the service, as
far as the convenience Of passengers is con-
cerned. At present this train leaves AL
lance at 4:30 p. m. and reaches Denver at
11:50 p. H.. The change will take the train
out of Alliance at 1880 p. m. and bring IL
into Denver at 1880 a. m. The service from
Deadwood to Omaha under the new sched-
ule will be changed. We will leave there
at 2:3O D. m. and arrive here at 8 o'clock
the next afternoon. At present we are
leaving Deadwood at TAP a. m. and reach
ing here at GAS the next morning. Changes
of the service from Omaha to Deadwood
will correspond with those of No. 4, which
handles this carry from Lincoln to Edge
mont. Passengers will reach Edgemont,
where they leave che main line and go

twenty minutes later than now, and so will
be that much later into Deadwood. They
will leave here at IL p. m. instead of 8
o'clock, as now"

cago the round trip rate is $25. from st.

ident of the association. A notable list of
speakers has been arranged. Besides the
United States, there will be delegates from
Cuba, Porto Rico. the Philippines, Mexico,
British America and Hawaii.
Two Carloads of Immigrants.
Two carloads Of immigrants passed
through Union station Tuesday morning,
one for Nebraska points, the other for Cali
fornia. All were the raw material, having
Just arrived in this country. The Illinois
Central brought in ffty-one Norwegians in
one load, and here they broke and scattered
out over the state on all the different lines.
The other crowd was Italian in it's makeup
and it was a typical lot of young troubadour
SWANS. All were young fellows. swarthy
and for the most part intelligent looking.
They knew not a word OF English, and their
recent arrival was attested by the serapes
or scarf shawls. which they wore pic
LuTbSQuelS over IuelT SHOuluBIb, WIN the
fringe flying about their ears. The fashion
plate American men, too, who affect the
latest style of faring brimmed black soft
hats, would be surprised to see the exact
counterpart of this style on the heads Of
these Italians Just over. Their hats are
| soiled and greasy, but have the same I'M
bound edge and broad brim. The Italians
went on out to California over the Rock
Island.
GOOdnOw Goes to Rock island,
Telegraphic information was received
from Chicago yesterday to the effect that
Charles A. Goodnow, for some time past
general superintendent OF the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Pacific railroad. would on April
is become general manager of the Chicago,
| Rock Island & Pacific. At the local Offices
Of the two railroads no intimation Of such
a change had been received and Rock
Island officials were 10th to place any
credence in the story. A. ]. Hit, the pres
ent general manager of the Rock Island,
has been with the line in the operating de-
partment for ten years. He has been
promoted from division superintendent TO
superintendent and then to general super
intendent, and finally was made general
manager a year ago on>the resignation VI
MI. Parker. Mr.. Hit is thought to stand
very high with the Rock Island and otdcials
here cannot understand why he would be
let out for Mr.. Goodnow.
Rock Island Extends Branch.
Announcement comes from Guthrie, Okl.,
to the effect that the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific road will extend its Enid branch
down to Guthrie. This line leaves the
main line to Fort Worth at Enid, swings
out twenty-five miles west and then runs
straight south parallel to the Fort Worth
line as far as Lawton. There 1t breaks
away sharp to the southwest, headed d.
rectly for Guthrie, and is now built about
twenty miles out of Lawton, and is only
seventy-ive miles distant nom Guthrie.
This action on the part Of the Rock
Island would be a forestalling of the Frisco.
Choctaw & Fort Scott and Western lines
in their announced plans to build up from
Guthrie to Enid through Lawton and Fort
Sill. This is accounted an important gap
in Oklahoma, and as the Rock Island al
ready has the way two-thirds bridged with
rails, it is conceded to hold a big advan-
tage.
