AS the imports will for some
years equal or excel the exports, we
may calculate this amount of freight
to be carried over the whole length
of the road one way each year. In
the above estimate of business l
have included Greenwood county,
and therefore will add twenty miles
more road to balance it.
With this amount of freight, the
road would average 610 tons per
mile per. annum, much more than
any road in Kansas carried last
year AT the low rate of one cent
per tOniper mile, the gross receipts
from freights woul. be sis, $40.
Add fifty per cent. for passengers,
mail and express, $50 920, and we
have the gross esruiugs of the road,
SI79, 76O. Allow the net cost to be
five mills par ton per mile, includ-
ing everything, and we haYe just
half that amount $50. $50 qchtch itciu
pay ten per cent. interest on eUeTy
dollar INFESTED IN the road.
Ii the amount of business should
however, be materially less than
this estimate, the tariff rates could
be increased fifty or even seventy
five per cent. aud still be so much
below the rates of the standard
gauge roads as to defy competition.
The rate calculated above, of ten
mills per ton per mile, would be
equivalent to $3.50 per car load OF
eight tons from from Arkansas City
to EmpOria. If the amount of bus
mess would not justify so low q
tariff, add fifty per cent, amount
ing to $500 per car, and then COM
pare that rate with the one shippers
are now payi ing.
1.-THE data upon which the calcu-
lailons in this and former articles
are correct, (and most of them have
been submitted to and approved by

it proved that the building of such
a road is practicable, and that the
road will pay its owners liberia
interest ON their investment. Thai

EvADINa WIFE NO. 2.


AS the train sped along, Miller,
while chatting with the GOODNESS of
Mephistapheles, was Matching plan
to get vile No. 2 out of the car
without wife No. l seeing her.
Wife No. 2 wanted to stop at Sscra-
mentO and go to San Francisco by
q later train. He mentally resolved
that wife No. and her party should
not go to San francisco at all if he
could prevent it, so he at once told
her that he had some important
business in Sacramento, and must
stop over there that night. OF
course, she and her party must
stop too. Wife No. ] consented.
Wife No. was managed just as
skillfullv. The train makes q stop
of twenty minutes at Sacramento.
She was asked to keep her seat in
the compartment until he could get
carriage to take her to q friend g
house When the train stopped
Miller FASTENED wife No. and par
showed them hastily into carriage,
and told the driver to take them to
the hotel. Then he got wife No. 2
out, put her in q carriage, and sent
her to her friends, say ing he would
call for her at train time. This
gave him q breathing spell. which
he EMPLOYED in perfecting his
plans 10 evade detection. These
were subsequently carried out, and
so well was everything managed
that wife No. 2 never suspected
anything, and wife No. / never
dreamed that her husband was any
body but A. r. Woodruff, and that
his Australian story was not true.
Miller's house was finished when
this occurred, and the next two
weeks were to be occupied by wife
No. in getting the house furnish
ed. He told her that he would re-
lieve her of his presence by going
of for q week TO the Y osenite. To
wife No. he said that before going
back to Australia he wanted to 90
to the Yosemite, and as they would
doubtless like the trip, he would
take them. They all went, and on
the trip or soon after, Miller made
wife No. l . present Of 100000 il
United States bonds-sta part of tht
| fortune he had made in Austrslis.
ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE.
But the presence of wife No. ]
was still fraught with more danger

-The Chillicothe Pest of last week

The Chillicothe Pest of last week
talks sensibly on the subject of build
ing the Dayton & South Eastern Rail
road. We clip the following from that
paper
Fayette county completed her sub
scription to the Dayton d Soutn-HasI-
ern some time since.
Green county has made up her quo
ia, and Dayton will have hers full next
Cbillicothe's subscription is drag
ging. It is not progressing satisfae-
toriIy, nor will it do so until our busi-
ness men wake up to the Importance
of the enterprise.
AS the matter now stands, Chilli
cothe is in danger of losing the road,
not for the want of a proper apprecia-
tion of its Importance to her inter
ests, but from inexertion on her
part.
With the subscriptions made up at all
other points on the line, it is not prob.
able that they will wait long upon us,
and it Therefore remains for us to take
prompt action.
Our business men should bestil
themselves actively, and fill up eul
quota at once. The road will oper
new fields of enterprise to US, and ado
largely to our present business.
Failing to make up our subscrip
ton, will compel the D. & S. E. tt
adopt the Bainbridge route. Ever!
business man in Chillicothe know
that the result would be disastrous t.
his interest.
Let us have prompt, vigorous &C
ton, and make up eur minds a
once.

GREENFIEED, March %.

A full board of the Directors ofthe
Springfield, jackson and Pomeroy

place to- day. This is their first meet
ing, and they showed themselves TO be
sound, practical men. President EN-
mitt reported the survey to be very
satisfactory, and that the stock is be-
ing rapidly taken. The Directors are
going along the line next week to hold
series of meetings to secure the
balance of the stock required, and ex-
pect to be ready to put the road under
contract as soon as the survey and es-
Inmates can be made.

Narrow Gauge Meeting.

A large meeting was held at the
Court House on Saturday afternoon,
in the interest of the Marrow Gauge
Railway. Jas. B. Graham, Esq, was
chosen as Chairman and George W.
Smith as Secretary. Mr.. Graham and
Samuel Irons, Esq, made addresses,
giving the result of their observation
on a recent tour west, in the course of
which they made it their business to
visit and inspect the Cairo & st.
Louis Gauge Railway. Their
report of what they saw, fully confirms
the statements of the numerous arti-
cles we have heretofore published set
ting forth the advantages of the mar
roW-gauge system. Rev. Humphrey s
and DR.. Anton also delivered short
addresses. The subscription boo ks
of the Miami Valley Gauge

A meeting of the Directors and So
liciting Committees for this county,
and of others interested in the narrow

.he Friends of temperance
Greeting:

The officers of our State Temper,
ance organization have inaugurated a
plan for systematic and uniform work
in every county, township and town
throughout the State. In order to
make this plan effectual, it is necessa-
ry, among other things, to publish a
paper. The ezra has done good SER
vice, but it's publication has ceased for
want of funds. It is also necessary
to send out speakers to canvass the
State and organize Societies. To raise
money for these purposes, and to help
on the "good cause" the friends OF
temperance in Cincinnati have decided
to hold Fair at Greenwood Hall, in
this city, commencing Monday, April
5, 1875. We desire that every tenn
perance man, woman and child shall
be represented therein by a contribu-
ion, and from experience we feel con-
fident that an opportunity is all the
incentive necessary to insure their
hearty cooperation in the enterprise.
We hope that churches, leagues and
temperance organizations will call
meetings in their respective localities,
and devise ways and means to assist
by contributions, such as children s
clothes, doll clothes, fancy articles,
dry goods, hardware, provisions, fruit
canned or otherwise-hot-h house
plants, roses, cut flowers, and any
thing else of a saleable nature, from a
child's toy to grand piano. Articles
that can be used to decorate the hall,
either as a gift or loan, will be thank

the lunch table, such as butter, eggs,
chickens, hams, cake, confectisneries,
sugar, coffee, cream, etc.
Let none think their gifts too tril-
ing Sabbath-school scholars can send
something; mothers can send on their
own handiwork, If but pair of socks !;
fathers can send a 1.-THE from their
granaries or stores and be none the
poorer; young ladies are expected to
do much; young men can send
money.
Rearing this mighty Temperance
structure is Gods work. 1t is not for
time only, but for eternity. The lat
ter alone can reveal the amount of
good our efforts have accompli she'd
the number of tears dried, broken
hearts healed, and souls saved: AS
soldiers of the Cross, however, we
should not be content with what has
been done. The Past has gone; the
Present is ours. Let us no longer
mark time, but in answer to duty,press
forward.
Whatever may be our differences,
religious or politically, here we can
work side by side in the common
cause, which addresses itself so urgent.
ly to our sympathies.
Do not fail to make your arrange
ments to attend the Fair, if only fol
a single day. Come singly! Come il
leagues and give us the fraterna
hand, that you may strengthen and bt
strengthened.
The following resolution was passed
at a full meeting of the Board:
ResoIved, That no rafting or lotte
ry devices of any kind be allowed il
the Fair.
Send all cash contributions directly
to the Treasurer, marked as follows
"For the Temperance Fair, care O.

disc:
