MISSOURI PACIFIC TO TRY OUT NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE Will Operate Trains on Its Central Branch on Trial Schedule for 60 Days to See If It Pays. The dispute that has been ou for the past few weeks between the res idents of the central portion of Ca county and the Missouri Pacific rail way over the proposal to take off the passenger train that plies be tween Auburn and Omaha and re-' turn each day, has been compromised I by the railroad company agreeing to retain the train service on a revised schedule and leaving it up to the residents of the territojat to show their appreciation by patronizing the train. The new schedule goes into effect on June 19th will allow the resi dents of Avoca, Weeping Water, Manley and Louisville, a stay of five hours in Omaha before leaving on the afternoon train and Is in line with the request of the residents of that locality. At the hearing before the state railway commission, the Protestants stated that the reason for lack of patronage of the train was the short stay allowed in Omaha. The railroad company claimed a loss of revenue on the train of $40. 000 due to the patronage given the auto busses from the towns along the line of the Central branch and offered this as their reason for de- Iring to cut off the train service. The company has agreed to give the new schedule a sixty day try-out and if at the close of that time they find that it Is not paying they will renew their request to change the train and substitute a mixed freight and passenger train on the run from Auburn to Omaha.

WILL LEAVE HOTEL It has been the rumor for some time that Fred Wagner, the propri etor of the Hotel Wagner, would cease his connection with the hotel and investigation has disclosed the fact that this is true as Mr. Wagner has the opportunity of securing a new location in Omaha which he may decide to accept and whicli would give- him a greater opportun ity than the hotel here. He expects to leave the Wagner about October 1st. It is to be regretted that Mr. War ner is expecting to leave the hotel and the city, as he has made a most efficient manager of the hotel and has given the city one of the best conducted stopping places that they have enjoyed and a hotel that was a real credit to the city and its peo ple. He has in the past few months received a number of offers from var ious hotels in this portion of the state as to assuming the manage ment and has not fully made up his mind as to the acceptance.
