Placards bearing the following information in letters of black-face type so plain that he who runs may read have been posted in congpic- uous places “Unused tickets of this company's Issue, also unused portions of tickets issued by other rallway companies, reading good for passage over the lines of the Chicago, Mil | waukee & 8t. Paul rallway will be redeemed from orlginal purchaser or owner under es- tablished rules,” The announcement bears the signature of General Passeuger Agent F. A. Miller. “This {5 the first instance 1 kuow of,” eald George Haynes, clty passonger agent of the Milwaukee, "‘where any raliroad com- pany has made prominent the fact that it will redeem unused portions of tickets pur- chased In good faith and remaining unused und in the hands of the original purchaser. It 18 true that such a rule has been effective with all lines in a general way, but the fact has been kept rather ‘sub rosa,’ and the or- divary traveler who finds himeelf with a ticket in his possession rarely ever goes to the road issuing it for a return of his money an accident liable to occur to any engine.| the places of strikers will be filled.

In nine cases out of ten & man having a ticket in his possession which he finds he cannot use will dispose of it to a broker, in case he makes any disposition of it at all, and of course | does not by any means realize its face value. ““This practice of redeeming unused tickets has been effective with the Milwaukee as with other roads heretofore, but never, I think, has such prominence been given the matter. Our instructions relative to the posting of the notice where our patrons can easily see 1t have just been received, so that the Milwaukee's idea of glving publicity to the aunouncement is something new.” ENGINES NOT alr Chance, Union Pacific operating oficials are by no means discouraged with the performances of the new compound consolidated passen- ger engines which have just been recefved and made their Initlal trips last week, It i true that the engines have not come up to expectatidns in the polnt of running time, but this is accounted for in the fact that they are new and have not yet settled down to the point from which the best| service can be expected “There 18 no reason to doubt the efclency | of these new englues,” sald au official of | the opermting department. “The freight engines of similar typo to the new passen- ger locomotives have given the utmost satisfaction and the latter will give equally ‘s good service as s0on as they have been in operation a short time.

The rum.or that the working hours of the Unlon Pacific shops in this city are to be reduced from nine to eight hours per day is authoritatively denied from an offcial scurce. “Such changes as these,” sald an official, “aro always made at the beginning of each month, and the order was made December 1 practically in- sures that the working hours will nof™be reduced druing the current month.
