sure connection with the Omaha train Of
the North western read at Fulton, aud the
Chicago and Rock Island at the latter
place. By the return trains Ike connec.
tons are also made with trains Of the

This makes q shorter and more economical

as is evident by the increased through
travel.
Better connections than formerly were
also made with roads crossing this at Gin

tracf has been made to build cross road

useful represented in the Constitutional

article already proposed for the new Constl

ARTICLE -. SECTION !. The Board OF
Supervisors of the respective counties shall
cause to be planted, nuriered and protected,
useful and ornamental trees, Of varet ps
suitable 10 the soil and climate, along each
side OF all the public roads and HIGHWAYS,
| without the incorporated cities and villages,
at proper distances apart That not less
than five per cent of the total miles of such
! highways, in each county, shall be planted ia
any year after 1872; provided, however,
| that al portions Of the public highways a.
are already lined by forest trees shall be
! excepted
SEC 2, The expense of planting anl
! taking care Of such trees shall be defrsyej
| by taxation on the property Of the respect
i've counties; and all such trees shall belong
to the counties. The General Assembly
| shall enact appropriate laws for the carving
into effect and enforcement 0! this article.
This may well be thought strange pro
vision to be engratted in State Cous,itu
ton. 1t would not be badly received, how
ever, as a legislative enactment The chill

continual occasion for the liyeies, gratitude
to their ancestors for providing them with
