THE ROCK ISLANDS BRANCHES

The following special dispatch from
st. Joe, Mo, TO the Globe-Democrat
18th, gives an insight into the move
ments and operations of this great
corporation:
AT Fairbury, Neb., today the direc-
tors and officers of the Chicago, Kan
sas and Nebraska Railroad company
were elected. This is the north
western line that the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railway company is
building from st. Joseph, the other
line being southwest. The following
directors were chosen: Thomas Har-
bine. 4. V. Whiting and j. II. Nelson,
Of Fairbury, aud &. l.. Ewing, III. A.
Park. &. +. Jilson, and NJ. A. Low.
The directors met and elected the
following officers of the road: NJ. A
Low, president; II. "A. Parker,
vice-president and chief engineer;
&. +. Jilson, secretary and treasurer.
NJ. A. Low, who is general solicitor
of the Rock Island, is also president
of the southwest line. When seen by
the Globe-Dcmocrat correspondent
today he said that the line southwest
would be running between St. Joe
and Wichita within year. He says
also that the work of organizing for
the northwest line is progressing most
satisfactorily. The southwest line
will be built first on account Of the
demand being greater for the road in
that direction. Both roads will go
west from St Joe, and will divergc at
a point in Kansas about forty miles
west of this city. The grading of the
first ten miles west of St. Joe is al
ready CONNECTED

Wednesday morning considerable
rain fell, reviviug things generally.
Hail preceded the rain. 1t may have
the effect to stop the ravages of the
chintz bugs on the corn.
Howe e. Fowler have traded their
grocery stock with Mr.. Grey of Milan
fer horses, which they are now offer
ing for sale. Mr.. Grey will move his
family here about the first Of next
month.
Mr.. Asa Barnett of Iowa has bought
lots south of J. j. Booths and will
build nice building. Until this is
completed he will occupy Mr.. Barton's
new house on South Eighth street.
Mr.. Barnett has rented a store build
ing of MI. Boyd and will put in stock
of books, stationery, etc.
The d., NJ. & A. is moving on to-
ward completion. A large quantity
firon has arrived and ties a-e being
rushed out along the bed.
There was a hitch in the judges Or
der incorporating our city and the
work has 10 be gone over. The petit
ton is being advertised and will be
presented to the board July 6.
Several of our citizens have been to
Wichita spying out the land with an
eye to investing, but only one or two
caught at the bait.
Mrs. Hunter of Wichita, who is
here spending the summer, has be-
come quite charmed with our city.
She has bought lots and intends to
build her house.
About twenty-five OF Mrs. Jacob
Mobiles friends, armed with well
filled baskets, presented themselves at
her door and demanded admittance,
last week on the return of her birth
day. The evening passed very pleas
antly and the company departed wish
ing Mrs. N. many returns Of the happy
event.
The Citizens State Bank is at work
on the foundation for the new bank
building. 1t will be two stories high
aud seventy feet deep. E. E. Baird
bought the lot adjoining to build q
store in connection with the bank, but
a very liberal advance having been
made him, may be induced to sell the
lot.
We expect to celebrate the Fourth
of July in becoming manner.
We think there was al error in your
issue of Wednesday when you said
Conway Springs was to lose one OF
its doctors and Wichita gain one.

The Democratic party, the party of
obstructionists, cannot free itselffrom
the fates that hurled it from
power quarter of a century ago.
1t was animated then by rule or ruin
policy, and the same policy animates
it today. The dispatches tell us that
the senate appropriations committee
has nothing before it for coDsidera-
ton; that these Important: measures
are locked up in the committee rooms
of the house with no prospect of early
considera ion. The estimates for the
next fiscal year, which begins in two
weeks, have all been in for some time
long enough for the appropriation
bills TO have been perfected and
passed. Bat instead of addressing IL
self to necessary legislation, such as
providing means for the support of
the government, the ruling party in
the house, where such legislation must
originate, has squandcred the time in
its endeavor to make capital for party
use. And now on the verge of the
new fiscal year, with the fact staring
them in the face that there are no
funds available for carrying on the
work of the departments after the
close of the fiscal year and that i: must
be provided by the present session

are holding back, knowing as they
must that their course will embarrass.

qualitative analysis TO demonstrate
this; it is plain to every intelligent.

To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle:
We feel perfectly safe in making the
statement, that no town in South
west Kansas has been built up OH q
firmer business basis than the city of
Coldwater, the county seat of Com
anche county.
Not dollar has been spent i'm use
less and fraudulent advertisements.
The original members of the Town
Go. and the earlier property holders
adopted the wise policy at the begin
ming of putting up substantial build
ings, such as would insure constant
occupancy and good rents, and then
waited until the demand rendered the
erection of others advisable. When
a school house was needed, a sIbs:aa-
tial brick, costing 50 500, was erected
and furnished throughout with the
best of furniture. When churches
were needed, good, solid structures
were built. When il was deemed adj
visable TO erect city hall, the Town
Co. donated fine block, put up one
third of the cash and voted $4,000
bonds for which IS cents was offered
the day voted, and today, Major +. n.
Billings, one of our councilmer, is in
Wichita securing plans and specifica-
tions for the building.
Real estate owners put no fancy
prices on their property. Buyers
come in, get prices, have the deeds
made out at once, secure their alb
stracts of title, order their lumber for
building. lesve it in the hands of COM
petent builders and feel satisfied that
they have made safe aud profitable in
vestments.
As a result Of this wise and conser-
vative policy, Coldwater has the finest
streets and sidewalks, the best bust
ness houses and residences; the best
banks, the best stores, the most com.
plete stocks of merchandise of any
town west of Medicine Lodge and
south of the Santa Fe railroad. Her
citizens act together on any
question affecting the interest
of the city, and in consequence the
town moves right on and is always
prosperous.

on coming here is, 1--WE had no idea

A father on the occasion of his
sons marriage gave him a little
special advice. "YOu are going to
be married, my son. and you will
wish that your wife will be quiet
and submissive to you in all mat
ters. Follow the advice I now give
you. Procure a cat, and one night
after your marriage so arrange that
the animal shall be in the sleeping
room at the time when you and
your wife retire to rest. You will
60 to your room as usual, and on
entering you will pretend to be
much surprised and annoyed that
the cat should be found there, and
you will draw your sword and slay
it. Your wife of course, will be
terribly frightened; and, from the
sight of the slain cat and a hint
from you that she will fare like
wise if she is not very careful over
herself, you may depend on it that
she will be the proper, dutiful wife
that she should be.

Nothing shows more the marvel
Gus strength possessed by the tiger
than the way in which he carries
his victim away. l remember the
first time / was shown where tiger
had dragged a full-grown bullock
| could not believe it possible and
was not until after we had killed the
robber = only an ordinary sized
tigress-and I had carefully gone
over on foot the ground she had
dragged her prey that l found that
she had not only dragged the dead
bullock-an animal, should think,
considerably beyond her own weight
over very rough ground and
through n dense canebreak, but
that in some places, as the marks
showed, she must actually have
lifted the fore-quarter in her mouth,
and have walked several yards in
that position. When the victim
has been dragged to what the tiger
considers a position of security, it
will sit down and make a good
meal, and then retire a short dis
tance from its prey to some partic-
ularly thick brush or tuft Of grass,
and there remain until the follow
ing night, and then return for an
other meal. In consequence of this
well-known habit, "a kill" as it is
called, is the best of all khubber,
and in such cases, if the tiger has
not been disturbed, the sportsman
is almost sure to fine him lying
somewhere close to the carcass
and if his arrangements are well
made, is pretty sure to get a shot at
him.-Chamber's Journal.

Wine I'm Old Wood.

The Netherlands Steamship COM
pany's steamer Scheidam, which
arrived at its dock in New York
recently, had among its cargo two
winecasks. The wood Of which they
are made is said to be 1900 years
old. Carved out in bold relief and
surrounded by a circle of twining
vines, are the heads of the Emperors
Traianus and Maximus. Beneath
them is the following inscription:
From, the Roman bridge near Mainz COM
menced under the Emperor Trajanus, A. d..
% to III and finished under the Emperor
Maximus A. d. 235 to 23S.l
The casks were made in Germany
for the consignees from the wood
of the bridge mentioned in the quo
tation, which was discovered about
five years ago while surveyors were
making plans for a new bridge.
Nearly all of the German nobility
have relics that are made from the
same wood. At the time the wood
was found several coins were dis
covered bearing dates of the same
period in which the bridge was
erected. They also bore+he heads
that are carved ON the casks, and
it was from these coins the designs
on the casks were taken.
