VISITS IN THE CITY From FatHrdars, Tmiiv This morning John McKay, one or the well known residents of the vicin ity of Weeping Water, and Walter G. i liox, prominent resident of Elmwood Chamber of Com merce Committee Visits with 'Q! Officers of Railroad T!yp1am Position, as to the Storhouse Problem in Local Shops. The committee calling on General' Manager Edward Flynn, Omaha, and General Storkeeper Stuart of Chicago, yesterday, in Mr. Fynn's office at Omaha, of the C. B. & Q. railroad, were asked to let the people know there is no concerted plan or inten- tion of removing the C. B. & Q. shops from this city, the change of the store department to effect only the officials and clerks in charge here. There will be a store house in Plattsmouth just the same; the shops will operate in the same way, and the thing to do now is to forget idle rumors, get to work, nd forge ahead. It is dead sure our city has always been loyal to the C. B. & Q., safely estimating that company has received ai J- 1 80 OI tne ireiSni Business here; our merchants have always been willing to go the entire way to co - wpcrate with the C.
