COMMITTEE FROM NEiGHBoRING
CITY. ASKS FOR THE HOLDING
4, 49, OF TRAIN At NIGHT.

The new passenger service that was
linaugurated January 1 by the Mil
waukee which extends the Seymour
service as far south as Sewal, has ex'
cited the envy of some of the towns be-
low Ottumwa. An instance of this was
seen yesterday when a committee OF
Seymour business men waited upon
Superintendent J.. A. Macdonald and
Division Passenger and Freight. Agent
w. G.. Parker with view to having a
change made in the new service. The
plea of the Seymourites was for the
layover of the train and crews in Sey-
mour at night instead of going on, to
Sewal for lay up. Their purpose was
not to discontinue the service beyond
Seymour, except for the night in order
to give Seymour the keep of the
crews and such travellers as might take
the train to it's destination. One OF
the party suggested that to- assist the
road in making the change, the water
would be furnished the train. AS the
water and coal are the features that
made Sewal the place Of laying up
the train for the night, the committee
was asked to make an offer to Offset
the conditions favoring Sewal. Be
yond the suggestion about free water
at Seymour, the committee was I'M
able to make any definite arrange
ments and returned home to further
consider the conditions to be met be-
fore the request could be considered by
the division officials.
