Beginning with Monday there will be
change in the time Of the passenger
train on this branch. the fret in several
years. The esstbonnd passenger will
arrive here about thirty minutes earlier
and leave at ll:25 a. m, and returning
leaves Columbus at ITO p. m, arriving

the old schedule. On the main line .
midnight train leaves Omaha for the

service on the branches as before the
Denver train was taken OF, the dailies
arriving in the morning instead OF the

is the local train on the main line, which

Next Wednesday the annual meeting

til it covers large territory north and
west Of here, and gives all ockholders
reasonable and efficient telephone ser
vice. When originally organized. the
promoters had no idea that the company
would ever reach its present status, the
original plan being to supply local tele-
phone service for Monroe and vicinity
after promises to build lines in this
section had been made and not kept by
other companies Evidently the pro-
motors built better than they knew. for
Monroe company is surprise to all
telephone men, and the railway COM
mission have commented favOrably upon
the plan on which it Is conducted.
And in passing it is we'll enough 20 call
attention 10 the fact that OF all the
counties on the lines of this company,
Platte, which is the original homo of the
company. is the only one without free
service To the county seat.

BIG COMBINE.
Government Files Suit At Columbus,
Ohio.

Ohio.
Suit was filed by the United States
government in the federal circuit
court at Columbus, Ohio, against six
railroad companies and three coal
mining companies, charging a tcom-
bination in restraint of trade and ask
ing that the combination be enjoined
from continuing business.
The government charges that the
Hooking Valley Railroad amalgama-
tons ownership of the capital stock
of the Toledo and Ohio Central, the
Kanawha and Michigan and the Zanes-
vile and Western roads and its con-
nection with the mining concerns
named has crushed competition.
The defendants named In the suit,
which was filed by Orla e. Harrison,
special assistant attorney general, are
as follows: Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railway, Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, Hooking Valley rail
road, Toledo and Ohio Central rail
road, Kanawha and Michigan railroad,
GAINESVILLE and Western railroad, Sun
day Creek Coal Company, Continental
Coal Company, Kanawha and Hook
ing Coal and Coke company.
The governments petition alleges
that the combine thus formed affects
four of the great coal mining districts,
namely, the Pittsburg the West Vir.
ginia, the Kanawha Valley and the
Hooking Valley.
