Fast Passenger Service. It was announced at Burlington head quarters in Omaha , Thursday , that the Burlington would meet an } ' and all competition in fast train service between Chicago and Omaha and Omaha and Denver. General Passenger Agent Fran cis , who has just returned from a trip to Chicago , in speaking of the changes an nounced for the Northwestern fast pass enger trains , said that the Burlington would not take second place to any road in the west in the matter of fast passen ger trains and good service , and that all competition would be met. By a new schedule which will go into effect , next Sunday , the "overland limited" train of the Northwestern railway will run be tween Chicago and Omaha in nearly two hours less lime than it does now. The train will leave Chicago at 8 p. m. in stead of 6:30 p. m. , and arrive at Omaha at 7:55 : a. m. instead of at 8:15 a. m. The change is made to meet the competition of the Rocklsland's fast train. Officials ofttiat road are considering the advisa bility of cutting another hour off the running time of their "limited. " The Builington is capable of making fast time between Chicago and Denver , and will doubtless soon enter the race. There is talk that the Burlington will re instate No. i , which became so popular before the hard times made it necessary to retrench. There is also a rumor to the effect that No. 5 may be made a fast train from the riyer to Denver. It now stops here , and does the local work. Lively times are in prospect if the roads persist in their fast trains. The Colonel Comes Down. Even Colonel Mitchell admits that THE McCooK TRIBUNE has "the largest circulation beeween Hastings and Den ver. " Of course this news is not new to the frank and well-informed portion of the readers of this county , as THE TRIB UNE has now and always has had a larg er circulation of a bona fide character than any other paper published in Red Willow county. However , it is mildly gratifying to have the editor of the Com fort admit what everybody else has known always. Card of Thanks.
