"booby" was conferred upon Mrs.
Schwab and Mr.. Malugen. Then
the refreshments, after which a
mystifcation, a surprise, and then
the finale. All the guests were
given numbers-the ladies from 1
to Z, and the gentlemen the same
and marshalled in the next room,
in parallel rows, number facing
number. AT a signal the portiere
curtains were pulled aside, the
fiddler struck up "Old Dan
Tucker" and "down the middle
and back" sailed numbers 1, fol-
lowed by numbers 2 in their turn,
and so on until all the numbers
had their innings. The dance con-
cluded, the guests departed for
their several homes after an eve
ming of as thorough enjoyment as
the writer ever had the good for
tune to experience. As entertain
ers l set down, without fear of sue
cessful refutation, Mr.. and Mrs.
Malugen as A 1, and give refer
ence to all present for verification
OF my good judgment.
The Iron Mountain will on Sun
day, October IS, put on three new
trains and make several radical
changes in it's time schedules. 1t
will also, in conjunction with the
Wabash, inaugurate a through
sleeping car service yias st. Louis
between Chicago andlLos Angeles,
Cal. The equipment and service
on these trains will be 'first-class
and strictly up to date, including
dining cars in which meals are
served la carte. The new service
will not only shorten the time be-
tween st. Louis and Texas points
several hours, but will also make
the run between st. Louis and Los
Angeles in twelve hours less than
the present schedule time. Under
the new arrangement train No. 3
will leave st. Louis daily at $50
A. M, arriving at Texarkana at
II 40 P. M, making connection
there with the Texas and Pacific
for Ell Paso, thence the Southern
Pacific for Los Angeles and San
Francisco. The Wabash train
which leaves Chicago at 9:17 P. NJ,
and arrives in st. Louis at 1888 A.
M, will connect with No. 3 at St.
Louis and establish a new service
via st. Louis, Texarkana and Ell
Paso to California and Pacific
coast points. New train No. 4,
from Texarkana, will leave at 7 A.
M, and arrive in st. Louis at 1880
P. M. Both of these new trains will
furnish additional service at all
important points along the line
between st. Louis and Texarkana
at certain hours of the day where
heretofore they had no passenger
service. Another feature will be
through sleeping cars between
Chicago and Old Mexico over the
Wabash to st. Louis and thence
south via the fast night train over
the Iron Mountain. This car will
leave on the II :03 A. M. train from
Chicago, arriving at st. Louis at
1880 P. M. 1t will be attached to
the sleeping cars on Iron Mountain
train No. 5, which leaves at S:20 P.
M. Returning, it will be brought
back on new train No. A., which
leaves Texarkana at 7 A. M, arriv-
ing in st. Louis at 1890 P. NJ. The
running time between st. Louis,
Texarkana, Dallas and Fort Worth
will be shortened several hours by
new schedules for trains Nos. 1
and 2, and an arrangement by
which the Cotton Belt will be used
between ~Texarkana, Dallas and
Fort Worth. Train No. 1 will
leave st. Louis at 2:21 P. NJ, as at
present and leave Texarkana at
$40 A. M, arriving at Dallas at
1890 P. M. and Fort Worth at 1:30
P. M. This makes the run to Fort
Worth % hours and 8 minutes, or
four hours and fifty minutes
shorter than the present schedule.
No. 2 returning will leave Fort
Worth at 1890 P. M. arriving in St.
Louis at 1870 A. M, making a
saving of more than five hours.
New train No. s, leaving Texarkana
in the early morning and scheduled
to arrive in st. Louis at 1850 P. NJ.
making about the same time and
stops as now scheduled for No. 2.
The fast mail train, which leaves
st. Louis at 3:05 A. M. and is now
known as No. 3, will become No.
Z and be run on a somewhat faster
schedule.
