Rail schedule shakeup cuts time between Lincoln and Chicago

The Rock Island and Burlington routes post revised timetables with new trains. No. 14 from Lincoln to Chicago will take about fourteen hours and one minute, reducing the Missouri river crossing time to fourteen hours and one minute. Westbound rides improve as well, with Omaha to Lincoln in about one hour forty minutes. The shift aims to speed mail service, possibly ahead of Burlington’s earlier card. A separate note covers a farewell party for Miss Genevieve Howard and Prof. W. G. Brooks in Plattsmouth with praise for his work in music and education.
