THE NEW RAILROAD,

ED. REPUBLICAN-Last week at the
request of several parties, the writer
went to Wichita to look after the in.
icrests of Washington in the proposed
railroad known as the Omaha, Abilene
and Wichita. The directors were
there at one of their regular meetings
The report of the engineers was read
including estimates of grading, iron,
road beds, side tracks and twelve
depots. The cost of the road com
plete according to the estimates is 49,
900 per mile, said TO be a cheap road
The engineer made estimates on the
survey. He said it was a well-chosen
road running through a good country,
and very light grades. The class of
men who have the project in charge
are representative. have wealth, and
several of them hold offices of high
trust in the state. They are deter
mined to build the road, and if Wash
ington does her part this will be the
terminus. We cannot afford to lose
this golden opportunity. Let WASH
ington do like other towns in the west
stand together. The road will be
bnili: let us by all means get it. The
directors prefer TO come here but have
had oyertures from other places. We
have the inside track, let us keep it.
The next meeting of the directors will
be the 9TH of October, at Topeka.
hope Washington will go as body.

WHAT WILL BE THE OUTCOME

The first mutterings of war between
financial giants are heard right here in
Kansas. We stated the fact few days
ago that the Missouri Pacific railroad
company had sent five hundred men to
work on the Topeka & Salina railroad
on that portion of the road in Saline
county As near as we can now get
AT the facts, these men are now idle
watching and waiting for what may
turn up. The Union Pacific railroad
company also sent a lot of men up to
New Cambria at the mouth of the
Saline river, aud they are also waiting
for something TO turn up. The Mis-.
souri, Pacific company commenced
buying the right-of-way from the
mouth of the Saline river towards
Lincoln aud have got deeds for
twelve miles of the road. 1t will be re-
membered that charter was filed
from Saline running northwest and
we believe that the Uuion Pacific rail-
road has a chsrter for road over
about the same lire, and if we mistake
not bonds have at some time been
voted for t. Whether they have
lapsed or not, we are not informed.
Bat behind this strife over the right
of way for short line there is un-
doubtedly something else. just what
it Is We might guess and speculate
about, but it is hardly worth the while.
We think that we can safely assume
that the Gould system of roads is TO
be extended in all directions in Kan
sas, and that he will build wbereyer
he sees an opening that will pay him
to do so. Topeka should be on hand
ready when the time comes, to take
advantage of this era of railroad build

4th. Experience has shown that the
return paid i'm cash on maturing Ton
tine policies approximates TO, or ex-
ceeds the amount of premiums paid by
policy holders. so that the average cost
of the assurance will be only about the
interest on the premiums.

the policy, and are incontestable after
three wears, and PAYABLE Immediately

S;h. The Tontiue system is fair and |

separate from all other business; the
unds judiciously invested and i'm
proved. and the accumulated profits
guarded and properly sp-
