Small Towns
Oppose Fast
Train Schedules
Object to Passengers Going Through
Without Stopping at Their '
Stations.
Railroad traffic managers are meeting
with considerable opposition In their ef
forts to improve the train service of the
west by adding numerous better equipped
trains. Especially is opposition being met
on the runs of the Burlington and Union
Pacific from SL Louis to Denver, where
a lack of two hours In the. running time
has been taken up under a new time card
which will go Into effect May 23.
To make this long run In two hours less
time It has been found necessary to hasten
through some of the smaller towns where
stops have been made. These towns do
not like to be passed up. The officials
say it Is necessary and that the towns are
not Injured because the new trains will
take care of all the business at the smaller
towns.
The speed with which some western rail
roads do business is shown by the way
the Burlington was able to get out the
Issue of Its new folder showing all the
time-card changes which are effective
May 33. Although some of the ' charges
were not decided upon until quite recently,
the folder Is now out and ready for dis
tribution. The folder map has been re
vamped and extended to Include the coast
territory, making It a map of over half
of the continent. This was necessary be
cause so many of the Burlington through
trains now continue their Jovirney on to
the coast.

from Marcy street to Leavenworth street,
and the other Is between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets and runs from Harney

the first will cost $1,9L'0.70, according to the
estimate, and on the other' it will cost
$1,730.20. '
One sewer Is to be built on Twenty

Dora Kelly, a member of the Ninth
street colored dramatic club, Is quite an
actress. She never misses an opportunity
for an effective hit of "business." So
when Police Judge Crawford fined her
and Lucy Burns, another Third ward
Chocolate drop. Friday morning, Dora as
sumed a decidedly mellow-dramatic pose,
hurled her empty traveling bag otherwise
known as a "handbag." although It will
carry a small trousseau to the floor and
exclaimed:
"How can I pay a fine when dey tuk
all muh money away Tom me?"
Of course Dora knew that she would get
back everything taken from her at the
time she was searched, and would be well
able to pay her fine out of the proceeds
of her dramatic activities, but the chance
for a little hit was too treat: she timt
couldn't pass it up.

His Active Career.
' Ansel Briggs was born in the . state of
Vermont, February 3, 1808, and his wife,
Nancy Dunlap, was born on the same date.
He came to Iowa In 1838 and settled on
lands where .he town of Andrew now
stands. He was engaged for several years
In establishing stage lines, some times
personally driving his own stages. In 1S42
he was elected to represent Jackson county
In the Iowa territorial legislature, and In
1848 became tha first governor of the new
state, and served as such until 1S50, after
which he returned to his old home in An
drew and engaged In general mercantile
business, later establishing a newspaper
there. During his tenure of office as gov
ernor he lost his wife by death, December i
30. 1847.
Governor Briggs . continued to make An
drew his home, but while visiting his son,
the late John 8. Briggs and family In
Omaha in 1881, he was stricken and died
In Omaha, May 6. He was burled in Pros
pect Hill cemetery May 8. His death was
mourned all over the country and par
ticularly In his home state of Iowa. The
day following bis death Governor Gear
Issued a proclamation reciting his services
to the . state and ordered half-hour guns
to b. fired and the national flag to bs
placed .at half-mast on tha state capltol
on the day of his funeral.
State to Honor Him.
The Pioneer Lawmakers Association of
Iowa passed resolutions urging that the
state honor the memory of Governor
Briggs by bringing his body back to the
state. These were supplemented by similar
resolutions of all the pioneer associations
of the state of Iowa.
Senator James W. Ellis, of Jackson
county, was the Introducer of the bill in
the Thirty-third general assembly pf the
state of Iowa, which provided for a suffi
cient sum to bring back the body
of the late governor to the state he had
served so well. This was supplemental to
a similar bill by Senator Lambert In the
prevloua session of the general assembly.
The historical society of Jackson county
took an active part in the matter, and In
addition an the expenae. necessary to re
turn the body to Iowa, an additional appro-,
prlatlon of $1,500 was made for the erection
of a monument to the memory of Governor
Briggs.
This monument will be dedicated and
unveiled In September of the present year.
It will be plain granite shaft twenty
eight feet and eight Inches above the
ground and will have a weight of SMOO
pounds. The base will be of concrete and
the pedestal from which the shaft will
ascend, will be carved with a map of the
state, and lettering describing the services
of Governor Briggs to the state, with the
dates cf his birth and death. A portrait
of the governor will also be carved on one
of the facades of the pedestal.

amounts Involved were substantially cor
rect. About $1,600 is offered as a reward
for the arrest and conviction of the four
men who are supposed to ha,ve done thr,
work. ' ' j,
An uncsual feature of the case la pointed
out by Alglre in the fact that no breast
works or temporary defense of any kind
were, thrown tfp around the bank by the
men who guarded the place against sur
prise while one or more other robbers blew
and rifled the safe.
It is thought that the robbers may be ap

money they secured, for much of It Is
thought to have been mutilated when the
safe was blown.
