When 100 more names are secured
land it is believed that they will be OBJ
tanned this week. the petition asking
the county commissioners to call IN
election for the purpose Of voting aid
to the Topeka, Salina 4 Western, will
be presented and the election will un-
doubtedly be ordered.
Therewas conference of representa-
tiyes Of the Topeka, Salina 4 Western
and the Kansas Railways in this city
last Monday night.
There has been q DISPOSE
ton among certain parties to
kick up . quarrel among these
rival lines, principally for the purpose,
probably, Of killing both projects.
Each project had friends among prom
insnt business men and tax payers Of
our city. 1t was necessary that some
thing should be done to pre-
vent the precipitation Of N war which
would ruin all railroad prospects.
We don't want any war over railroad
matters. Our people must be united II
they expect tsaccomplish anything in
the way of giving us proper railroad
connections. A decent respect must
be paid to the opinions of all business
men. Their good will and favor Is not
only desirable but necessary. We are
glad to announce that as result Of
the conference spoken Of there il more
unanimity among leading and influ-
entail men over railroad matters than
there has been since the incipiency Of
the projects. We believe that by the
time the proposition to vote aid to the
Topeka ,Salina 4 Western il submitted,
there will be no opposition to 1t on the
part of those who have preferred the
Kansas Railway scheme. 1t is belived
that out of the conference will come
an agreement and full understanding
that the Topeka, Salina & Western
shall occupy the territory between Sa-
lima and Council Grove, and that the
Kansas Railway will not submit any
proposition to the people Of Saline
county. We are glad that what prom
ised to be q chasm of discord and quar-
rel il to be safely bridged over. and
that we shall all be practically united
in our efforts to obtain q competing
line of railroad. The local directory
Of the Topeka. Salina 4 Western feel
very much pleased over a consultation
which they believe has led to an easy
way out Of what promised to be very
troublesome imbroglio. Let us now
put our shoulders to the wheel and
help on Q cause which is deserving Of
our warmest and most active support.

Of this village and Mrs. George Wood |
Of Ossian, and in her maiden days was /
so well known and loved a. Kittie /

shed tears Of regret at her early death, |
her age being thirty-seven. Shortly /
