They took peaceable possession and set a table that would do honor to a royal banquet. When the aged couple returned to their home, and opened the door, they were so completely surprised that they wondered if they were really at their own home or not, as they saw a long table laden with so many line cakes and other good things. The old couple looked for a number of friends and relatives from a distance but none came save Miss Shoemaker from Walkerton. Your correspondent was there and enjoyed the occasion very much.

THE THREE I Dispatrh of Mails and Express Matter will be Expedited by the Three Is Cut off From the Inter Ocean of Sunday, ■^‘ptvmber 16. we clip the following concerning the Three 1 railroad now being constructed through Walkerton: “By Dec. 1, if the scheme as now planned is carried out. all New York and Eastern mails destin’ d for jmlnts west of the Mississippi river, and which now go via Chicago, will be transferred from the fust mail train on the Lake Shore at South Bend, Ind., to the Indiana, Illinois and lowa road at that point, and will be taken by this short line to its connections with the Western roads at Dwight and Streator, Hl. The Indiana, Illinois and lowa railroad is a line starting at Streator, 111., and ending at Knox. Ind. From Knox the company is now building an extension to South Bend, Ind. When this is completed the length of the road will be 150 miles, and will form a short outside connection between the big Eastern and Western trunk lines

entering Chicago. The distance frnjjil South Bend, Ind., to Streator, 111.. vb» Chicago, is 180 miles. The distauk^ between the same two points via ths Indiana, Illinois and lowa, will be Ilf miles, or a saving of thirty miles. W The transfer of the Eastern mail, at Chicago now occupies nearly thrge hours, and the running time from South Bend to Streator is six hours. By transferring west-bound mail and express for points west of the Mississippi river at South Bend, Ind., the Indi.ma, Illinois and lowa company claims that it can save at least f Olt ^ hours in the handling of this maife r It is claimed that two hours in running time will be saved and ^3 two hours in the transfer at Chi JR obviated. In and out terminal delays at Chicago will be avoided. Ihe new short line is being ' ballasted and laid with sixty-iAa ; steel rails. The maximum eighteen feet to the mile, and cent of the entire line is free curves. Officials of the road that trains can be run at the ra^Ef 1 sixty miles an hour with pSg^ safety. New and improved mail and e^^ ears will be built by the company r. .

I H special Inst mail and express service Inaugurated between South Bend and •Streator, and by which it is figured 1 that by starting a fust train from I South Bend immediately upon the ar- । rival of the fast, mail and ’express ptrains from the east about 9:30 in the Evening it jaueutur uuil in Hm meet with fftst f Santa tEe, and BurJirigton, leaving Chicago between 10:30 and 12 o’clock the same night, thus landing Eastern express and mail matter at Western cities from three to four hours earlier than it is done at present. It is also the intention of the Eastern and Western roads to send through passenger and freight business around the city via this line, and thus relieve the present congested condition of transfers iu Chicago. This business is of little or no benefit to Chicago, as it merely passes through the city. Close connections are generally made, and the traffic only crowds the already inadequate terminal transfer facilities. The connections of the Indiana, lllihois and lowa are friendly to that road and several contracts have been closed for through traffic arrangements. A special train, conveying the Illinois Railroad Commission, recently made a trip over this line at the rate of sixty miles an hour. Complete arrangements have not as yet been made with the government authorities for handling the mail by this Company, but negotiations are pending and if it can be demonstrated that this company can save time in handling through west bound mail from New York and Um East. it n ill undoubtedly be given the contract.
