the Chicago, Milwaukee e. ST. Paul
railway would make a change i'm he
running OF its train service west of
this city TO Chamberlain.
When the information was spread
through the towns to the west there
WAS more or less Indignation express
ed THAT the company should so dis
arrange Il service that has given sat
isfac,ion for a matter OF fifteen O,
iwtntN ,ycals. 1t could not be un.
dcIstoond what Eu5 happened tc

change. Ono or two newspapers ou,
that way, which presumed to be on

mcntcd on tho story as being a pipe

everybody was getting nnnecessar-
lily alarmed owe n Situation in
which tho!c was no t.Mth.

Barring one Or two statements made
in the former story as given by The
Republican, the change is very much
as stated at the time.
How Trains Will Run.
Train No. | from the east. which
has been coming into Mitchell fol
about twenty wears at ~ little after
) O'Clock. Will nov arrive at Gas
O'Clock. 1t will lay hero until 1:10
an then go on west. This train will
be Il complete passenger train. as the
mixed train idea has been given up.
This train. which has been running
on through to Rapid City, will stop
at Chamberlain. The sleeping car
service which has been in effect on
this train from Chicago will be dis
continued SO far as this section CT
tho country is concerned, and W,
be laid off in all probability at Ma
son City Or sanborn.
Tho night train which has been
coming to Mitchell from the east at
l2:l5. and stopping here as tho en-.
OF tho run. will be continued on
through to Rapid City. 1t will az
rive at 12:25 a.. m., and leave at 9
n. IN.
This train will carry a sleeper
through to Rapid City.
The morning passenger train
from the west, which is now due here
ut 10:25, will arrive at s a. M. and
leave at $50. Inc Rapid City train
will! arrive from the west at l1:05 p.
Ill.,. an& depart for the east at ll:25.
This train Will lavc a sleeper
through from Rapid City to Chicago.
Will Not Run sunday.
Quo of the unpleasant FEATURES of
the change will be the taking off OIL
the Sunday train service from the
cast. For many years the Afternoon
passenger train on the Iowa and Da-
kota Division has been a daily SER
vice. and has been a great accom-
mediation to the travelling public. In
the change the Sunday train will be
eliminated from the schedule. There
will be 4; daily train service. howcv-
or. but ii will be the night trains.
No doubt this part Of the change will
bring on Il mighty and Just roar at
all points between Chamberlain and
us far east rs town are effected.
fs Without doubt the change in the
iowa and Dakota division will bring
forth some changes on the Hastings
aud Dakota an& the Sioux City and
Dakota divisions, but what they will
be is a matter of speculation. 1t is
not known whether tho connections
Will be made with the morning and
afternoon trains or with the night
trains. Under the contemplated
schedule, ii there is no change made
OH the other divisions in the day SER
vice, passengers coming from the
cast and desiring to so north will be
required to wait here until midnight
to get Il train. Passengers coming
down from the north and desiring
to so to points east 81 here will have
to remain " for a period of
twelve hours, unless the north morn
ing train is changed to get here at
8 O'Clock instead, of 10:3O as is now
the ease. 1t is expected that within
the course of three ortfour days the
new time card OF the other divisions
will be sent out. and then the worst
will be known. AS it is the change
OF the Iowa and Dakota division will
be bad enough and will disrupt a
service which has been OF q on very
satisfactory nature to the people liv-:
ing along the line! sGs3a5 n
Why Change is Made.
There are. two unofficial reasons
assigned for putting such a disas-
trous change into effect. One is that
the Milwaukee passenger train leaves
Chicago at such an early hour in the
afternoon that it does not get the
business the officials thing it should.
The Chicago & North-Western road
has a rival train leaving Chicago
about 6 o'clock in the evening which
has been getting the northwestern
passenger traffic, and in which the
Milwaukee officials felt they were en-
titled to share. The officials. by this
change in the time of the arrival of
the east train in Mitchell, will, delay
the departure Of the train from Chi
cago for a little over two hours. and
thereby try to get ONE of the BUSH
hess which is now going to the
Western train. In this ac-
