ENTER COMPLAINT
Eastern Iowa Wants Rock Island
Road to Give Better Mail
Service.
ABOUT TO SECURE TEXAS ROAD
Paying of Illinois Division Men &c
be Done at Rock Island Here
after.

The people living in eastern Iowa
are making determined effort TO in
duce the officials of the Rock Island
railroad to improve their mail serv-
ice, which they assert is not sufficient
for their needs. At the present time
they have only one mail train from
Chicago, the one leaving there at ,
4. M, generally known as the news
paper train. This reaches eastern
Iowa early in the morning and does
not affect the mail which accumulates
during the forenoon or the early af-
ternoon.
1t is desired that the Rock Island
extend the mail service on the
through train which leaves Chicago at
10 a. m. from West Liberty to Des
Moines. The mail business in Iowa,
it is claimed, needs two trains a day,
which would prevent the accumula-
ton of mail at many points The car
could return from Des Moines. it is
pointed out, on the train leaving Des
Moines at a. m, reaching Chicago
at $50 p. m. the same day.
report that there is conflict on
between Il. X. Cable and Charles II.
Warren over affairs connected with
the management of the Rock Island
is officially denied at Chicago. The
report is that MIR. Cable has been at
tempting to have Mr. Warren remov-
ed as vice president of the road, but
it is given little credit among rail
road men.
VIII Pay Here.
Orders were received here last even
ing for the paving of the trainmen
of the Illinois division of the Rock
Island at this city hereafter. instead
of at Chicago. as has been the Gus
tom i'm the past. As the trainmen of
the Iowa and Missouri divisions have
been paid here in the past this means
that this city will be the financial
center, so to speak, of the most inn
portant portion of the great system.
The money is disbursed at the local
ticket office. and the new arrange
ment will increase the amount han
died to the extent of about 100000.
Nearly Completed.
1t is announced that the plans for
| the transfer of the Houston and Tex
as Central and the Houston. East and
West Texas properties to the Rock
Island have been perfected and the
final acts will be delayed but a few
days longer. The arrangement of the
details has been in the hands of at
torneys of the Rock Island and the
Southern Pacific for some time.

verdict of guilty against Dave Smith
The crime he was convicted of was
against l2-year-old girl living near
this city, and whether drunk or sober,
is one of the most heinous that can
be conceived and which ought to be
