ONO AND MISSISSIPPI RAIL Road
The cities of ST. Louis and Cincinnati,
at their recent elections, gave decided
votes in favor of this improvement. If
the Legislature of Illinois had conceded
the right of way, the Mississippi and
Ohio, in a very short time would be
connected by rail way. 1t i, supposed
an extra session will be called soon. and
the right of way granted. The Repub-
lican says: Now that one million and a
half of dollars have been secured by the
two cities of Cincinnati and ST. Louis,
and about 100000 by the counties of
Indiana, the work will, doubtless, be
taken hold of promptly, and pushed for
ward with proper energy. There is
no longer doub, that the road will be
bnilt-lhe only question is, how soon.
This will TO a certain extent, depend
upon the early action of the Legisla.
ture Of Illinois.
