of the opinion that the balance of. the

committees will lay the matter before

two weeks and see if thru these So

cured that will give the hospital the

Written. Feb. 12.-Beginning the
10th inst, the c. & N. w. placed in
service on this division two freight
trains that will carry passengers over
a portion of the line. One going east
will leave Jewell at ! or s o'clock am;
the other, west bound, will leave Tama
at $50 p. m. While these are freight
rains they make nearly schedule time
and will be run every week day. Pas
sengers will be allowed to ride on No

leaves the travelling public with no
train east from Jewell to Conrad till
afternoon, and hen only a way freight
anywhere from one to six hours late.
The c. & N. w. along here seems to
be doing everything possible to antag-
onize the travelling public. Something
better is promised for the future, now

letter written by the management to
the Iowa railway commissioners, in
reply to the complaint filed by the
board on request of the patrons:

In reply to yours of the 2Sth ultimo,

abandonment of certain night passen-
ger rains between Tama and Jewell
junction.: The petitions
you were copies of petitions addressed
to officers Of this company, and which
we had under investigation as to local
conditions and inconvenience referred
to, with view of adjustment. AS a re-
suit of such investigation and oil per-
sonai interviews on February 4 with
members of the committee of citizens
having this matter in hand, 1T deVel-
D that under present conditions, ana
at the present time, outside a little m
convenience in delivery of the malls.
there is no necessity for the restoration
OF the service, but that later, with re-
sumption of travel to the Dakotas, 1t
would be a convenience n necessity
to have such service. l have given def
mite assurance that with an improve
ment in business conditions, and in all
probability at a date early In the spring
months. the night trains In this dis
trict will be resumed. This assurance
of resumption of service at this time
meets with approval of all concerned,

A Noiseless BRIDGE.

According to the Iron Age, the new
steel bridge of the Chicago & Alton
over the Sangamon river, near Spring
field, Ill, has been made almost noise
less, the vibrations of the ironWork
when a train crosses being almost en-
tirely eliminated by laying eight inches
of ballast between the sleepers and the
steel structure. There is said to be less
noise when a train crosses this bridge
than when running along the ordin-
airy roadbed. The extra expense for
the ballast. and heavier bridge MEM
bers required, makes the construction
more practicable for short spans than
for long ones, but its value for ele-
waited ones should be as great.
