CONDUCTOR HART FAVORED.

Conductor "A. S. Hart, the veteran
passenger conductor for the Illinois
Central Railway company, and who
has been on the ManchesterCedar
Rapids branch train for over ten
years, is to give up the service on
the branch train on April 1st, sand
will be given the, run between Du-
Duque and Ft. Dodge. Mr.. Hart has
been in the employ Of the Central
for over thirty-five years. He finds
that the work connected with the
handling of the branch passenger
train is becoming too much OF a
strain upon his strength, and hopes
that the change will tighten the work
to some extent. His run on the
main line will take him west from
Dubuque on No. 5, which is due In
Manchester at $40 in the morning,
and going east will pass through
Manchester on No. 402 at two o'clock
in the morning. Reaching Dubuque
after his run to Ft. Dodge and back,
he is given a lay-over Of twenty
eight hours.
The Central never had more
faithful and obliging employe than
Mr.. Hart. The change of runs
which the company has made for
Conductor Hart is largely as an ex-
preston of appreciation for the ser
vice he has rendered in years past.
Before taking up the duties on the
main line, Mr.. Hart expects to spend
short time on business and pleas
ure trip through Texas. This change
OF runs will also mean the removal
Of Mr.. Hart and family from Cedar
Rapids, where he has been living for
some years, to- Dubuque, where his
headquarters will be.
Mr.. Hart informs The Democrat
that Mrs. D. B. Allen, mother Of Mrs.
Hart, and who has been making her
home with them since the death of
her husband, is in the enjoyment OF
heEsusual health, a fact her host OF
friends among Manchester people
will be pleased to learn.
