We are unable to give an accounting
OF the expense of the, travelling mems
picnic, owing to some of the bills not
having been presented. and we wish
those having bills against the travelling
mems picnic not already presented to
attend to them at once, so we may be
able to give a full report by next
Monday. The committee will have
nice sum of money, which will be re-
funded to those who subscribed to the
picnic. 1
The travelling public has been at a
loss to know what the railroads are
going to do as regards the mileage
now In their hand and not used by

It is not to be wondered at that the
people, living in the towns along the
narrow gauge railroad of the c., M. &
ST. p, between Cascade and Bellevue,
Iowa. are always finding fault with the
services given them by the company.
They have kicked for a number of
years for some kind of relief, but with
out results. The writer noticed the
other day, that the main line train
pulled out just as the train from Cas-
cade was pulling in. The company
makes no effort whatever to make con-
nections, in case the train happens to
be little late. What we need most
of all is q law compelling roads to
make connections with their own lines.
