TO RUN ON SUNDAY.
Reports That Rock Island Will
Have Sunday Service.
BETWEEN ELDON and DIES MONIES
Officials Are in Chicago Now Arrang,
Ing for New Time Card Which Will
Probably Affect Keokuk-Des Moines
Branch.

1t is persiStently rumored in OF
tumwa today that the Rock Island time
card change which is about to be
made as a result of the conference of
officials Of that road in Chicago at
the present time, will affect the Keo-
kull & Des Moines branch considera-
bly,. The rumor goes further and has
it that one train each way is to be run
Sunday over the Rock Island through
Ottumwa, although it is not as yet
known whether it will be between
Keokull &Des Moines or only between
Eldon and the state capital.
= A Great Improvement.
If this change is made it will be a
great improvement and one that will
be much appreciated by the people
living along the KID" AT present
there is no Sunday train except
| freights and they are very uncertain.
However. there is reason to believe
that Sunday train would be largely
patronized if run.
Local Officials Ignorant.
Howell Scott, the local agent for
! the Rock Island, was asked about the
matter today and stated that although
he understood that there is now in
progress in Chicago meeting at
which the higher officials OF the road
are present, he is ignorant of any OF
the plans or probable changes He
said he had heard nothing OF the ru-
mcrs to the effect that the trains on
the Keokuk & Des Moines branch
We're to be changed
IL was reported last evening among
Rock Island employees in Ottumwa
that trains 203 and 204, which run be-
tween Eldon and Des Moines are to
be run on Sunday hereafter. 1t this
be the case the change will be highly
beneficial to the people living along
the line between the two places. The
train leaves Eldon at a. M, passing
through Ottumwa at 1885, and reaches
Des Moines at 11:05. 1t leaves Des
Moines at o'clock in the evening
on the return trip, passing through OF
| tumwa at 1896, and arrives at Eldon
at 11:10 p. m.
According to rumors,th change is tc
take place on November 2. simultane
ously with the installation of two new
trains on the southwest line of the
Rock Island, which runs from Chicago
to Kansas City through Eldon.
