New Sleeping Cars
Chicago, March 31 Owing largely to
sanitary considerations, tbe - Pullman
Company has adopted a new standard
sleeper whloh little resembles the or.
oate cars built a few years ago. The
new standard is sevorely plain and is
devoid of all suroll and grill work. The
upholstery of the car has been reduced
materially and all the angles p ssible
bavs been taken from the car'. Import-
el mohair has been adapted as a stand
and curtain and the entire design and
decoration and fnruiRhing is planned
with a. view to facilitate the work of
cleaning the car and preventing the
luilgmect of germs.. All Pullu an cars
will be built on the Ramn plan and af
ter the same pattern so that uniformity
in equipment will be attained. "

be eliminated by an equal division of
the delegate to be at otto the county
convention., , - . ' ''
At the eaucutee held in this city Mon
day evening there were BO candidates
nominated. ' As will be noted, the peti
tion cirqulated agreeing to a division,
contained 29 signatures of the nomi
nees, 7 to whom the petition was pre
sented refusned to sign the same, and
those circulating the petition failed for
various reasons, several being oot of the
city others not in their places cf busi
ness to meet 1 1 and their opinion re
garding the propasition was not ob
talned. . '
