Thirty Miles Disappear.

Thirty miles of country is a big
thing to disappear, but this dis
tance has been. dropped out be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago.
How it happened is thus figured
out. The Chicago, Santa Fe & Cal
ifornia Railway is completed be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago,
and the distance between the two
cities is only AS miles measuring
from Union Depot. Kansas City,
to Dearborn Station, Chicago.
I his is exactly thirty miles less
than by any Of the old lines, SO
you haye.to travel thirty miles less,
your freight has to be hauled thir-
ty miles less, and practically the
Santa Fe has made thirty miles
disappear. A few years at this rate
and Kansas will be in New Eng
land.

HATCH RENOMINATED.

The Democratic Congressional
convention which met in Kinks
vile last Tuesday was called to
order at ii o'clock a. m. by J. A.
Hudson, editor of the Macon
Times. He had been instructed
to present the name of ]. II. Car
rol of Putnam county for Temporal
ry chairman and j. A. Brickell of
Macon county, for temporary sec
retary. Mr.. Carroll in taking the
chair thanked the convention for
the honor conferred and made a
very neat and poin ted speech. But
there was somethi ng ludicrous in
his reference to the young democ-
racy getting to the front in the
First District, when that young
Democracy had come to the con-
vention bound hand and foot, with
nothing to do but sit and have
their spokesman cast Their votes
for a gray haired man, whose
youthfulness could only be thought
of in connection with second
childhood. 1t may be that young
Democracy was getting to the
front, but it was getting there
wrong end foremost.
Judge Andrew Ellison was then
called to deliver the address of
welcome. After welcoming the
delegates, he informed them that
his position would not allow him
to make political speech, but this
did not deter him from referring
to the canvass of two years ago that
reduced the Republican majority
of Putnam county to 800, and
counciling canvass and unity of
action that would place that .,oun-
ty in the Democratic column
in November. He then tender
ed the delegates the use of every
thing owned by the democrats, and
all that was free in the Republ ican
platform.
Committees were then appoint
ed on credentials, resolutions and
permanent organization, when
convention adjourned to meet at
2 o'clock p. IN.
Rev. Sharp opened the afternoon
session with prayer. Reports OF
the committees were read and a
dopted, thereport on permanent or
ganization naming ". n. Ruther-

Vestibule Trains to Chicago.

The Vestibule train is new
factor in western railroad trans
portation. 1t is claimed for these
trains that on account of their be-
ing connected by steel hoods all
danger of telescoping in case
'of accident is removed, the train
being practically one long car. 1t
is certain that the oscillation Of
the cars is great y reduced, and it
is also certain tlat the vestibule
trains afford the greatest comfort
yet known to travellers. The adop-
ton of this style of train by the
Chicago, Santa Fe e. California
railway between Kansas City and
Chicago is strong bid for the
passenger trafic between the West
and Chicago. This new road is in
many particulars ahead Of any of
its older competitors, and will un-
d doubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago.
