CHICAGO WORLD’S FAIR

The rush to the World’s Fair Saturday and Sunday was immense and Maquoketa and 
near by stations contributed their full share. The Milwaukee Company ran an 
extra to Delmar Saturday evening and the Maquoketa branch coaches were pressed 
into service on the main line being returned from Chicago Monday morning. The 
extra train of three coaches on the Midland were jammed full both Saturday and 
Sunday nights. Some Maquoketa people gave up going when they got to the 
Midland depot Saturday night and saw the overcrowded cars.
