Finest Kind of Equipment to
Make Up the Train Installed
April is
New. Time Card tO,, BE Arranged
For Benefit of Mankat0
Travellers
From Thursdays Daily.

Mankato is to have fine new tran
on the Northwestern line comm!
from and going to Chicago by th'
way of Milwaukee. This will begir
on Sunday, April 16.. The train vii
leave Chicago at p. m. each day
will arrive at Milwaukee at S:2t
p. m. and at Mankato at 1920 a. m
1t will leave Mankato at $50 p. m.
arriving at Milwaukee at GAO a. IN
and at Chicago at 8 a. m.
The Mankato Free Press has beer
agitating for this much needed i'm
provement in the Northwestern trair
service for about a year. 1t is largely
through the efforts of H. j. Wagon
general agent at Winona, formerly
located at Mankato, that the enter
prise has been brought to success
full issue. Mr.. Wagon has been il
Chicago, consulting with officials oi
the company in regard to the pro-
posed new train and he has urged
that it be installed.
1t will be an electric lighted steel
train, thoroughly equipped in every
way 1t will include a dynamo bag
gage car, smoker, chair car and
an observation lounging car, all of
this equipment coming into Man
kato The sleeper will come trol1
Chicago as far as Rochester. There
it can be taken at 8 p. m. by the
people going from Mankato. Mr..
Wagon says that if the business war
rants it, this sleeper will be brought
all the way to Mankato.
This elegant train will also have a
diner when it leaves Chicago Tor
Milwaukee. On this trip, a splendid
evening dinner will be served. On
the return trip, breakfast will be
served on the diner before the train
reaches Chicago. Thus. people who
have business in Chicago may go
right about that business on reaching
that city, and need not stop for
breakfast.
The new train will run by the
Wyville branch, the new road out of
Milwaukee, connecting with the main
line at Wyville, Wis.
The new train will be known as No.
412 going east and No. All coming
west.
Train No. SOB, westbound, now
leaving Winona at $50 a. m. will
leave at 1885 a. m. after April 16. 1t
will arrive at Rochester at 9:25 and
Mankato at 1890 p. m. West of Man
kato the schedule will not be changed
for the train will remain at Mankato
fifteen minutes less than at the pres
ent time. The fact that the addi-
tional train will cover the territory
ahead of it, will relieve No. 500 to a
large extent
Train No. 514, the regular Black
Hills express through here nightly at
9:45, will not be changed by the new
card.
