C. & C. I. DONT Want TO RUN TRAIN

Insist oh Rehearing Before Commission and People Along Route Are Asked to Attend It. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad don’t want to run a passenger train over the LaCrosseGoodland branch and they are again insisting that they be granted a rehearing of their case. The commission has set Thursday, March 13th, as the date for the rehearing and a letter from the commission to John Bowie, president of the Wheatfield Improvement Association, asks that he and others who are interested come before the board at that time. Persons along the line of the road should make it a point to attend the meeting. The running of this train is valuable to Rensselaer trade and merchants here should use their influence to have the train retained. ; It is reported that one or two knockers have been trying to have the train taken off, just because of their insatiate jealousy. The railroad commission should refuse to pay any attention to those whose lack of interest in the public welfare would cause them to try to have the-train service discontinued.
