CHANGES ON RASLRGAOS OC CUR TODAY EFFECTIVE AT 12:01 THIS MORN ING WILL TEND TO SLOW UP TRAVELING. FIFTY PER CENT CURTAILMENT Missouri Pacific Discontinues North and South Bound Fliers Lincoln-Union Trains Cut. f rom Monday's Daily. The train service to this city which will be considerably changed by the shortening of the train schedules was further reduced Saturday with the announcement of the Missouri Pa cific that they would cut their ser vice by taking off the night flyer from Kansas City due here at 7:39, Lincoln at 4 p. in. No other changes are made between Lincoln, Fremont and Missouri Valley. Train No. 5 leaving Fremont at 4:30 p. m., has been discontinued west of South Norfolk. No. 3, which followed this train about two hours later, will make all stops between South Norfolk and Long Pine ex cepting Stafford. Train No. 8 will be operated from South Norfolk to Oma ha, cutting out the run between Long Pine and South Norfolk. Train No. 403 between South Nor folk and Winner, S. Dak., discontin ued. Its opposing train. No. 408, be tween Winner and South Norfolk, is also discontinued. It is announced that the express, cream and package business hereto fore handled on No. 5 west of South Norfolk, will be handled on No. 1, while No. 8's business will be dis tributed between Nos. 2 and 6. No. 8's cream cf will be attached to No. 2 at Long Pine. The announcement of the North western concludes with a statement not made by any other road: "Addi tional cars will be provided on all trains as the need requires."

NEHAWKA OFFERS A REAL COMPLAINT by the latter class. The early af ternoon Missouri Pacific train was also taken off by the railroad mana gers, but this change will not great ly affect this city as the Burlington! has a train reaching here at 1:12 1 in the afternoon. The Missouri Pa cific also made a curtailment of its service on the "Lincoln-Union branch i by taking off trains No. 643 and 644 operating between these two points.

And especially is this of prime importance now on account of the high prices to which land has climbed. With land selling at 3300.09 to $400.00 an acre no one can afford, through neglect, to lose from five to ten bushels of grain per acre, when by protecting or renewing their land with a covering of straw or manure they could avoid i. The "One Man Straw and Manure Spreader" will solve the problem. See the machine and get full information re garding its work and possibilities for renewing and keeping up the fertility of the soil. WM. GEHRTS, MURDOCK NEBRASKA From Monflav'p rallv .This morning Eddie Todd and wife with their children departed for southern California where they will spend the winter. They will arrive at their destination the latter part of this week and will visit with their many friends for a few days until they can get settled and secure suit able apartments for their stay during the winter. They have spent a num ber of winters there and go at this time to avoid the rigors of this cli mate. They expect to remain in the southwest xintil about the first of March when the greater portion of the cold weather will have passed. Mr. Todd and wife have many friends in the southwest now and many peo ple from this community have gone tnere to make it their permanent home and they will find plenty of old time friends of this country to enable them to spend the time there nicely and they will return in the spring rested from the work on the farm and ready for a good seasons work next year. taken off between Council Bluffs ( servjce tnat is handed out to them, and Pelleville.

Nehawka is certainly en titled to better consideration." CONNECTION FROM EAST. From Monday's Daily. The changes made in the service over the Burlington by the elimina tion of several of the local trains has placed Plaattsrnouth in the posi tion of only one connection from the east, that of No. 15 in the morning and which leaves Pacific Junction at an hour that makes it impossible to connect with the early morning passenger (No. 5) from Chicago. In order to overcome this difficulty Agent R. W. Clement has arranged with the local yard crew under Yard master Charles Johnson and -will be able to give relief to the Platts mouth public by making connections with No. 5 from the east and No. i from the afternoon Chicago-Denver passenger. Any passengers that may be coming to this city will be cared for as the agent here will be not: Led and the local switching crew vil see that they are brought ovei to this city and pa-engers from thi-s city for these trains will be taken to the junction for their connections.
