MONON RAILROAD PuTS ON ANOTHER TRAIN

Passenger Will Leave Chicago at 8 A. M. and Make Round Trip to Michigan City.** The Monon railroad, which has greatly improved its passenger commodations to the traveling public during recent years, is to put on another train on June 29th. It will make daily round trips between Chicago and Michigan Citi by the way of Monon and will make about all local stops, the same as the milk train now does. The schedule of time and stops has not been completed, but will be within a few days. It will leave Chicago at 8 o’clock in the morning and arrive at Monon at 11:30, leaving there at 11:40 and arriving in Michigan City at 1:45. Returning it will leave Michigan City at 3:15, arrive in Monon at 5:25 and leave at 5:50, arriving in Chicago at 9:20 p. m. This will prove a great convenience to the people living along the Monon railroad and who desire to come to Rensselaer Xo trade. It will give Roselawn, Fair Oaks, Parr, Pleasant Ridge, McCoysburg and Lee an additional train each day. It is planned with the starting of this train to reduce the number of stops of Nos. 5 and 6, trains due here at 11:09 and 3:38. It will be necessary, however, for No. 6 or No. No. 38 to make the Fair Oaks and Shelby stops in order that passengers can transfer to the C. & E. I. and C., I. & S. railroads, or otherwise persons coming here from the north part of the county could not get home until the following day.
