Several Changes Among Central
Official Force and in Time
Card Announced.

to Be Inaugurated Next
Sunday.
Change in Time and Train Num-
bers...Colorado Special to
Be Changed.

Owing to the retirement of Mr.. }.
+. lug, chief clerk of the local freight
office of the Iowa Central, who has re
signed to engage in business, General
Agent WATSON has appointed Mr.. X. Z.
Jacobs to that position. Mr.. Jacobs has
been in the employee OF the company for
about six years, having served in vari-
Gus capacities at different stations
along the line. Prior to his being made
chief clerk Mr.. Jacobs has been en-
ployed as operator ut the local office.
The new position comes to Mr.. Jacobs
as promotion in recognition of his
valuable services.
The new time card of the Central,
the probable changes of which We're
announced in these columns several
weeks ago, Will go into effect next sun
day, June S. The present Nos. 3 and 1,
known generally as the night passen-
ers,' are to be run thru between Min
neapolis and Peoria, via Albert Lea, as
heretofore stated. The trains on the
new card will not be known as and 4,
however, but with the installation OF
the new card the trains Will be and
6. The present and will be given the
numbers 3 and 4. The change OF the
night train numbers is made because
of the connecting trains on the M. " ST
L., which are and g. BY changing the
numbers on the Central there Will be
less confusion in handling the business
as between the two roads. Minneapolis
Peoria sleepers Will be put on the night
runs beginning next Sunday, which Will
undoubtedly make the trains more pop
ular than ever. The ST Louis connec-
ton for the night trains is likely to be
made a little sooner than at first anti
cipated. Mr.. A. b. Cults. general pas
senger and ticket agent of the Central,
speaking to a Times Republican rep
resentative Saturday, said that the st.
Louis connection was not yet definitely
arranged, but he thought would be
made before fall.
The time of trains into Marshalitown
on the new card is 1915 a. M. FOR NO.
3 and 3:15 a. m. for No. g. The present
time of No. 4, corresponding to the fu-
ture No. 6, is 1920, and that of No. 8,
to be the new No. 5, 1870 a. m. Another
decided change is the service between
Newton and Centerville. The Newton
passenger will no longer run out of Os-
kaloosa. Passengers for Newton will
leave on the No. north bound train in
the morning and will change at New
Sharon to train that will run to New
ton and return in time to connect with
passenger No. A. A freight train car.
rying passengers leaves Oskaloosa at
