Change
in Mon Service
With the coming ol March 'd. the
Missouri Pacific railroad will inau
gurate a change in the manner ol
dointr business at the local station,
which will prove much more con
venient to the general public.
Heretofore there has been but
one man detailed to duty at the Mur
ray station and during the hours of
the day other than which he was
supposed to be on duty the oflicc has
iioen closed, wnrlcing a great incon
venience on natrons of the company.
This left the waiting room cold and
dark throughout the night, affordin
a place little better than outdoors to
wait lor the nicht passenger trains.
With the instituting of the new
order of business, there will be a
man on continuous duty at the sta
tion three v,rl:ill!I ill Kill f tS Of S
hours each. Another advantage gain
ed will be that passing trains at
anv hour of the day or night may
receive orders here as well as at the
h.reer stations nlolljr the line, tllUS
fMeiiiiiiiiti'i- truiii movement greatly.
Miirrav is to he congratulated on
the change as it will give her citl
yens :. lid Irnvwlers dropping ill alld
out of town much better service.
Just who the new men assigned
to the respective tricks will be. is
j-j vet i!n!.imuii although some
pretty close guesses could undoubt
edly be made.

place. Heretofore Mr. Mutz has'
lived on a farm just across the road
south and a little east of his new
home. This farm has been rented '
by Joseph Robbins, of Omaha, who
will come here as soon as it is va-1
