New York Central Will I,stall
Fastest Long Distance Train
Ever Operated; Will Average
Sixty.1wO Miles An Hour
What will be the fastest long
distance train in the world will
be put in service by the Lake
Shore and New York Central
lines between Chicago and New
York, June Is. The train will
make the run between the two
cities in nineteen hours. AS
the distance is $50 miles the
schedule calls for a continuou
speed of fifty-two miles an hour
including stops, or sixty-two
miles every sixty minutes eN-
Guiding stops.
The new train will bear the
name of the roads present
Twentieth Century Limited,
which now covers the distance
between the two cities in twen-
| ty hours, which schedule has
up to this time been regarded
as remarkable and the extreme
limit of fast running with
steam.
The fact that from this sched-
ule an entire hour is to be
taken looks daring, but Passen-
ger Traffic Manager DAILY of
the Vanderbilt lines in Chicago
says the time will be made
without interfering with the
other trains on the road.
For some time New York
patrons of the Twentieth Cen
tury trains, who are mostly
stock brokers, members of
the Board of Trade and gen
eral business men in a hurry,
have been appealing to the
management of the road to ar
range the schedule so that a
little longer time would be
given them in Chicago.
The Twentieth Century Linn
tied now arrives in Chicago at
9:45 a. M, and the eastbound
train departs for New York at
1890. 1t was the time between
the arrival of this train in Chi
cago and its departure for New
York that the exclusive patrons
of the flyers desired heightened.
And this is what is done. In
stead of departing from Chi
cago at 1890 the train will
leave at 1:30 p. M, and arrive
in New York at the same time
as now, making the run from
La Sale street station in Chi
cago to the Grand Central sta
tion in New York in nineteen
hours.
The first run of the new
train, Sunday, June Is, will be
timed mile by mile by the of1ic-
ers of the company.

Robert Persons and j. s. Ma
den are using the King road
drag from town south three
miles and the result is that it
is the best piece Of road in the
country. The Democrat de-
sires that it's correspondence
name each person in their COM
munity who is using the King
road drag. The drag costs but
little and its work is unsur-
passed for making good roads.

There were over 100 corn
planters sold in Red Oak this
spring. That is quite a number
more than usual. 1t indicates
that the farmer trade of this
town is growing and that the
