Z. c., ST. L. & CHICAGO R. R.

On Tuesday, of last week. a new rail
road company was organized Mt the
Southern hotel in st. Louis. in which
the people OF Lafayette county are much
interested. The company will be
known as the Kansas City, st. Louis N
Chicago railroad. and its purpose is to
build a road from Kansas City 10 Mex
leo to run in connection with the Chi
cage < Alton railroad. At the meeting
at the Southern 500. 600 was subscrlb-
ed. five per cent OF which was paid IN,
consisting of the following named gen
tlemeu: John w. Reid, of Kansas City.
Harvey j Higgins, OF Lafayette county.
Peter Fl. RAY. OF Saline county. Judge
Thomas Shackcitord. OF Glasgow. j.
j. Mitchell. Robt. Tanscy and j. W
Woodson. OF ST. Louis, George Strant
and W. II. Mitchell. OF Chicago. As
oon as the articles o! association are
filed with the secretary ct state. which
is probably already done. another meet
ing will be called. and the officers of
the company will be elected. \ con
tract will be entered into with the
Chicago & Alton railroad by which that
company will undertake Ia build. equip
and run the road. commencing the
work As 500 As enough stock Is sub
S,riIa.I ., ,rrnja ,I,a ,,Dl Tho ,.,,l-
tract will provide that oue-thirl tho
stock subscribed shall become due when
the road passes through the counties
in which it Is taken. Une-thIrd Twelve
mouths thereafter. aul the balance two
Years thereafter. Preferred stock be
ing issued 10 the {. X A. Tor the i'm
provemcnts which it makes 10 the
road. In addition the G.. Il A. railroad
IS to agree TO pro rate perma-
nentlv to st. Louis, and u per
NIT shipments made 10 81. Louis. at
shippers option. 10 be forwarded on to
Chicago IT the regular pro rata per mile.
which will be OF great advantage to all
shippers over the road. - when they
ship 10 st. Louis and find that market
unsuitable At the time they can forward
their grain or stock without heavy extra
charges. The organization OF this com
pauy makes the building OF the road 80

tangible, and IS in the hands OF men
who mean business.

hear nothing" And there was pro-
found pause, and the gloom Of disap-
pointment gathered on the faces of all
men, who with hushed breath listened,
their brows growing darker with the
silence. Another second, and the trum-
pets came shrilly upon the wind--shouts
rose from the garrison, and thousand
weapons flashed from their scabbards.
"My lord, sword let me die therel'
and Caspar-the monk having borne
away his mother-rushed to the feet of
the Governor, and pointed beyond the
walls
III grant your prayer" said the Gov
ernor; "and now, men, unbar the gates
and sally upon them; we have the foe
between u.s."
Wild and joyous were the shouts with
which the men rushed on the besiegers,
who, hemmed between the two parties,
were, after a fierce and sanguinary fight,
utterly defeated.
Many were the deeds of valor done
that day. Caspar fought as though he
hungered for death. AT least twenty of
the foe fell beneath his maiden sword.
He returned to the city with the con-
querors, and next day appeared before
the Governor.
My lord" said Caspar, "I am still
your prisoner. 1 sought for death.'
And have found knighthood 1
marked you on the field" said the Gov
ernor, am myself your debtor for
life. Kneel, and rise a valiant knight"
The filial piety, the bravery of young
Caspar, became famous story through
the city. The fair daughter of the Gov
ernor had heard from his mothers lips
the history of her sons virtues, learned
from her father the glory of his deeds !;
and, with her fathers glad consent, be-
came in after years, the young knights
bride.
From the day of battle, the widow
gathered health and strength, and lived
to be gray-haired matron, happy in her
sons greatness.
In the cathedral of the besieged city,
may be seen monument, where, lying
at the feet of a warrior in complete mail,
is sculptured young milch goat. That
monument records the filial piety of
Caspar Brandt.
