.umci 10 he able ia get nioriy with
amy kind of n train and coming along
at any old time.
The second reason glven for the
change Is to afford II DAY train SER
vice IRON Chamberlain out to the
Black Hills country. 1t is stated
that The people living on thai divis-
ion OF the road have been putting UP
vice, and the company has finally
pie living east of the river. The
along the line Of the Milwaukee
J company are so %cntrancin gthat the
railroad company believe the travel
ers out that way ought to have an
opportunity to see them. This. il
is said, applies principally to tho
Bad Lands. In the change the peo-
pie west of the river will ge, a Sum
day train service. while those cast
OF the river Will get q lemon in u
Sunday service. True. there will be
a daily night train service in and out
of Mitchell on the Iowa ard Dakota
division. but it will be at a time when
people care very little for starting
on a journey.
Send a Strong Protest.
4. few days ago the Mitchell Com
merc:al Club held a meeting for the
purpose OF formulating. Il protest
against the contemplated change OF
time in the passenger service. Sc:,c
very strong ans pointed resolutions
were drawn up. in which the menu
bers oil the committee voiced the
sentiments of the citizens of this
.ity concerning the contemplated
.hange. The resolutions set forth
he fact that relations of an agree
able ature had always been MAIN
tanned between the company and the
| city, but that such Il change as con
%templated would have q tendency to
strain the existing conditions. An
intimation was set forth to the Of
/ ficials that the citizens conceded a
great deal to the Milwaukee ocm-
pany when the movement was stop
ped looking to the connection OF the
tracks OF the Milwaukee and tho
Omaha roads. and the suggestion
was p%ertinently made that the move
ment might in all probability he
started again. The resolutions were
signed by the individual members OF
the Commercial Committee. and for
warded Saturday to the milwaukee,
officials in Chicago.
Resolutions Arrive Too Late.
The resolutions will reach Chica-
go. however, too late. and while the
committee members We're forming
their resolutions protesting against
the change. the Milwaukee officials
were planning the new time card. 1t
was learned from one source that
The company did not intend to make
he change which was announced in
The Republican a couple OF weeks
ly reliable. it was learned that the
time card with The full expectation
of putting it i'll effect within tho
course OF two or three weeks. Con-
sequcntly. The Republican did not
have so much OF a pipc-dream as
some people thought, and with tho
exception OF the mixed train service
is very little difference in the story
ago.

May Force Track Connections,
rs a climax to the change which
has been orGercd by the Milwaukee
company it is possible that the bust
ness interests of the city will revive
The movement that was started a
few years ago requiring the Milwau-
kee company to make track connec-
tons with the Omaha company.
a couple of years ago the move
ment was started in that direction
and the petition for the connection
had been filed with the railroad
commissioners of South Dakota for
them to bring the Milwaukee COM

er. sent it's representatives out here.
