Kiron Kicks

Onfast Sunday new time card went
into effect on this line of the Chicago
& Northwestern Railway which is
causing great dea, of dissatisfaction
and kicking among the patrons of the
road The passenger train which
went west in the morning from Wall
Lake to Mondamin and returned in the
afternoon has been taken Off entirely
and the freight train made tc carry
both. The freight from the east Is
nov due here at 9:s5 In the forenoon
instead of 1886 in the afternoon, aud
the only train we have going east is
due out of here at GAO in the evening
This makes it as inconvenient as can
be. In order to get to the county seat
from here one would to stay n Boyer
from I o'clock in the evening until
three O'Clock the next afternoon and
then get back here on the morning of
the third day. And the same way
would it be in going almost anywhere.
1t is now a fact that a person can go to
Chicago and back in the same length
of time it takes for round trip to Den
ison and one would have eight hours
more time in which to transact business
in Chicago than person would have
in Denison.
Stock which leaves here in the morn
ing for Omaha will have to be "a hours
on the road aud the shrinkage will be
considerable.
Petitions are being signed all along
this line to be presented to the company
asking them to puo the passenger train
.ack and restore the old time card.
We urge all patrons of the road to sign
the petition and do all in their power
to get the trains back to where they
were -Kiron Sentinel.

MUCH FOR ENGLISH TO LEARN
Opinion Expressed by London Rail-
road Man After n visit to
United states.

LONDON. Jan. s.-Phillip Burtt. general
traffc manager OF the Northwestern rail-
road, speaking at the Railway institute OF
York yesterday relative to hjL recent in
Yestigation OF American railroad methods
expressed general admiration OF them and
said he was OF the opinion that British rail-
road men could learn much from America
At the same time he admitted that the best
American minds would find much TO learn
and admire in English railroad manages
ment.
Mr.. Burtt said that the intense keenness
and enthusiasm OF all Americans in their
every day work had left a lasting impress
sion on him. He thought that while Amer
lea held the record for speed, the English
average express runs would be found higher
than the American.
Mr.. Burtt cordially admired American
adaptability in the use Of power and in
genious labor saving devices. He con-
cluded with remarking: The English must
learn to be less insular and more cosmo-
poIitan in their ideas and realize that they
have not been especially selected by PrOvi-
dence to be teachers OF the world"
