TO CONTINUE TRAIN SERVICE.
Western Train to be Kept in Operation
Until the Last Day Of the Year
on the New Order.

w. j. Kiltz, agent for the North
western Railway company, has receiv-
ed formal order from the company
stating that the western trains will
be kept in service between Kenosha
and Harvard until the last day of the
year The officials of the company
have made no plans in regard to the
train after that date and it is an
nouneed that unless there is real de-
mand for the train it will be discontin-
ued on the first day Of January of 1916.
This arrangement seems to be pretty
satisfactory to merchants and other
people interested in the train. It is
held that there will be little traffic from
the west after the first of January I'M
til the train is put back into service on
the first of April. 1t is expected that
some special provision will be made by
the company to take care of the people
during the days that the farmers in
stitute is held in Kenosha next spring
