MORE NEW TRAINS ON MONON ROUTE

Trains Nos. 5 and 6 Between Chicago, and Louisville to Be Made Dp of New Cars. '■ -- V The Monon is showing splendid appreciation of its large passenger traffic and for the past two years especially has been placing some very fine running stock on the road. Now two entirely new trains are to replace the ones that have been in use as Nos. 5 and 6 between Chicago and Louisville. The first set of this equipment will leave Chicago on No. 5, Dec. 17th, and the second set on same train, Dec. 18th. This equipment will consist of new steel postal cars, baggage and express eqrs, smoking cars, ladies coaches, dining cars and parlor-ob-servation cars. The cars are all of the most modern type, with heavy steel underframing, built to stand the hardest usage. The interior of the cars are finished in mahogany, and all cars are electric lighted and provided with electric fans. The rear of each train will be illuminated with a large electric sign, bearing the Monon trade mark and witn the names “Chicago and Louisville” prominently, displayed.
