last not least is an adage as true as il is old.
and its truth is again exemplified by the COM
pletion Of the new line to the east via Creston
and Burlington, which, though the last, may be
called the best route in the west.
The line consists Of the Kansas City, Saint
Joseph and Council Bluffs railroad, with two
daily trains from Kansas City, through Atchi-
son, Leavenworth and ST. Joseph to the Mis-
souri, state line, there connecting with the
Burlington route, which leads direct to Chica-
go, Cincinnati, indianapolis, Logansport and
COlumbus-thrOugh ears are being run to all
these points.
This line is well built, thoroughly equipped
with every modern improvement, including

depend on a speedy, safe and comfortable

Last week we noticed that one Samuel Teats
had been arrested by Mike Meags,er, upon a
telegram from Allegheny City, Penn. Within
a day or two after the arrest, man represent
ing himself rs b. +. Clark, chief of police of
the above city, made his appearance, provided
with requisitiOn from the governor of Penn
sylvania. The night of Clark's arrival Teats,
with other prisoners, was furnished tools, and.
but for timely discovery, would have made
his escape in a few minutes. The next night
Clark hand-cuffed Teats and put him aboard
the nOrth-bOund train. While he was procur-
ing his tickets his prisoner walked out of the
ear and out into the dark and liberty. The
pretended chief made no attempt to recapture
his bird. but took the train and left. There is
strong suspicion that all il not as it should
be. A thousand dollars had been offered for
the arrest of Teats, per cent. of which Clark
forked over to Mr.. Meaghcr. We believe the
latter officer has addressed the city authorities
of Allegheny upon the subject.
