WINS on the narrow gauge fallroau
ning between Bellevue and Cascade
are Disguised at the treatment received
at the hands of the company. On
Thursday evening last there We're a
number of passengers, some of whom
were ladies with thru tickets from Kan
sas to Cascade, wanting to make the
connection ait Bellevue. The operator at
Green Island was notified there were
passengers for that train. and he re-
ported they would wait, but when the
train on the main line arrived at Belle
vue the passenger train for Cascade
had Deer gone nearly one hour. 1t
looked to the passengers that either the
operator failed to report it or the sup
~erintendent at Dubuque did not care to
accommodate the patrons of the road.
I happened to know that the superin-
tendent, Mr.. Stapleton, was in Bellevue
all that evening, and it looked to all, as
if they did not want to take care of the
passengers. 1t is a ommon occurrence
for that train to go before the train
from the south arrives, and "a pass
engers, who have to remain in Bellevue
until the next day.

The board of directors of the I. s. I.

Resolved, That, in the retirement Of

ways advocated the maintenance of a
