An order has been Issued by the
western railroads whereby all pas
sengers must show their tickets to
a company employe before entering
passenger trains. The railroads have
had considerable difficulty lately on
account of passengers getting on wrong
trains and hope this order will do
away with the nuisance. A similar
order was issued some time ago, but
was not enforced. This order if
carried out, will consume more time
and will necessitate longer stops in
each city.
"A business meeting of the. s. w.
Wisconsin Poultry association was
held Friday evening to make arrange
ments for the annua! show. 1t was
decided to offer three silver cups, be-
sides the special premiums and the
$1.0O cash premiums. The three
silver cups and the ST. 90 cash premi-
ums are new features of the show and
should add considerably to the in
terest taken by the exhibitor. From
the present outlook the coming exhibit
tion is sure to be a winner. The
officers and members of the associa-
tion are working in harmony and all
arrangements for the exhibition are
we'll under way. Let every body boost.
