Louis q Colorado.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2S.-Suit was fled In
the circuit court here late last evening
against the new St Louis. Kansas City &
Colorado Railroad company by certain
stockholders of the Forest Park & Central
Railroad company TO recover the franchise
of the latter company which was acquired
by the former under an order of sale made
by the United States district court and
which IL is alleged was secured by cOnniv-
ance and conspiracy. The petition deni
the jurisdiction of the United States court
and asks that the conveyance made by the
United States marshal shall be set aside
and control of the Forest Park Il Central
be returned to the stockholders. This
franchise is of great value to the ST. Louis.
Kansas City Il Colorado company, as under
il they obtain right of way into the city and
TO the union depot. Mr.. Francis Turner,
president of the st. Louis, Kansas City a.
Colorado company, in an interview denied
the allegations in the petition and charac-
teriZed the suit as an attempt to impede
work on his road. and said it would not
succeed. He further stated:
Our bonds are placed and we shall have our
road completed to Creve Occur. twenty INF es
from here, in sixty days. We have got plenty
or material, all OF which has been paid for,
and work is progressing rapidly. We have
backing as good as we want. and the only
reason why the names of the syndicate be-
hind this enterprise have not been given TO
the public is because we. e projectors and
builders, are not permitted TO divulge who or
what this line is for further than that IL is

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 2s.-During the
month of February, with the exception of
two or three days, the weather has been
very fine and promising. The snow disap-
peared slowly and no floods resulted, much
of the moisture sinking into the ground,
thus preparing the soil for bountiful crops.
The corn lett in the field when the snow
came has been found in rather better con-
ditlon than could have been anticipa-
ted. Farmers are improving these nice
days, aud will soon have the entire
crop. The corn left in open cribs or on the
ground comes into market now rather damp.
Some time will be required to dry il thor

of the state some seeding has been done,
