The Atchison Globe says: Atchison
has lost a train crew by a change in
the Rock Island. The day passenger
train, leaving at 1905 a. m, and arriv-
ing at 1925 p. M, has been discontin-
ued between here and st. Joe. Only
about six hours notice was given of the
change, and the action of the company
is supposed to be along it's line of re-
trenchment. The train in question now
runs between st. Joe and Altamont. 1t
had to depend entirely upon local bus
mess between here and st. Joe, which
is covered by thirty-six other passenger
trains every day. The Rock Islands

for the present, as the train is liable
to be put back again any time. B. L.
Winchell, president of the Rock Island,
wrote the Committee of Forty that he
would be here shortly and present a
matter that would accrue to the bene-
fit Of both the company and the city of
Atchison. We are forced to call his
attention to the fact that he hasn't
been here. and that his company has
taken away the only Rock Island crew
that lay over in sAtchison.

happened a few minutes previous and
the yard force was somewhat nervous.
The hostler heard an unusual noise, and
some one shouted something at him
which he did not understand. The
amateur engineer, interpreting the
shout to be a warning to get in the
clear. threw open the throttle, and the
engine started into the shelter at a
rafting clip. only stopping upon en-

TRANsCoN1INENTAL TRAFFIC.
The Milwaukee & St. Paul May Need
a Line to the Coast.

Chicago, Aug" 23.-Every transconti-
mental system now has either its own
tracks or close connections between
Chicago and the Pacific coast. The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the
latter with it's connections west, have
their own lines into Chicago.
The Union Pacific comes in over the
Chicago & Northwestern, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul, Chicago & Alton, and Illinois
Central. The Northern Pacific and
Great Northern come in over the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy. The Mis-
souri, Pacific reached st. Louis directly
and Chicago is reached therefrom by
the Wabash.
The one road that occupies an anoma-
lous position in the transcontinental
situation is the Milwaukee & St. Paul
which has traffic contracts with the
Union Pacific and the Missouri Pacific,
but which is not closely allied to any
of the lines reaching the Pacific coast.
Any deal that is likely to arise in
connection with the Milwaukee & st.
Paul, therefore, will presumably have
for its object the securing OF a perman-
ent Pacific coast connection.
