Dou CITY.

The people of Dow City and vicinity
are indignant over the new time card
put in effect on the Illinois Central on
Sunday last. BY taking off trains.
and other orders, no passenger can
reach Dow City from the east on
regular passenger trains. Our town
is blotted off the map of the Illinois
Central. One regular passengers will
stop here and that at s 80 going east
in the morning. There will be a
chance to ride on the freights. but
they are so irregular in their habits
that no one can depend on them. One
of our business men was figuring how
he could get home from Fort Dodge |
on passenger train, and could not
see that the agent at Fort Dodge had
the right to sell him ticket to Dow
City except to ride on the freight. 1t
is simply an outrage.

Surrounded as our town is by the
rough roads. trade has not been boom
ing. but there is one bright spot as to
the road situation and that comes
