put on, No. Z, westbound, fast train
leaving Marion at 11:13 %. M, arriving
at Council Bluffs at 6: IS a. m. 1t is a
local train from Manila to the Bluffs,
making all stops. No. II, westbound,
the train that has been the local west
of Marion, is now fast train, making
only three stops between Marion and
Council Bluffs. Number IA, the new
eastbound train, leaves Council Bluffs
at 1855 a. M. making but few stops In
Iowa. Number 81, the local passenger
west bound that has been running be-
tween Perry and Council Bluffs, leaves
Perry at p. m. instead of $50 a. M.
making all stops. Number 2, east
bound, and No. 6 run about on the
same time, but make few stops in Iowa.
