out the objects OF the enterprise.
The capital stock is
So. 100000, and the OBJ
ject of the company sio own and
control through line from st
Louis to Sioux City, by way of
Hannibal, Quincy and Omaha.
The company contemplates the
purchase of the Q. NJ & P. Ry,
and the road will run from st
Louis to Hannibal from Hannibal
to West Quincy, and from
West Quincy oyer the
Q. NJ & P. to Green City, Sullivan
county. From Green City to
Omaha an extension will be built;
also from Omaha to Sioux City.
This will open up rich agricul-
tural region, number of i'm
portant and fourishing towns, and
with the exception of the st
Louis and Omaha, will be the
most direct route from Omaha to
st Louis.
Our business men compos-
ing the electric light company de-
serve much commentator for es-
tablishing the electric light plant
without waiting to determine
whether i. would be a pay NJ in
vestment. This is one of the best
moves that has ever been made
for the benefit of the town and we
feel assured that our people will
give it a liberal patronage if 1t is
within their reach. The town
council should take immediate
steps to secure a large light for the
Park and elevate it above the
highest buildings, SO that it may
be seen from any part of the city
This will not only be an advertise
ment for the town, as it will be seen
for many miles in every direction
but, it will also be economical, GAS
twill do away with side lights, that
are necessarily troublesome an d
expensive. As proof of what
one large light of sufficient eleva-
ton may do, one has but to notice
the light at the Soldiers Home in
Quincy. This light illuminates,
satisfactorily, an area of greater
extent than the entire city OF
Kirksville. AS the greatest bene-
fit with the least expenditure is
the object sought by the town, we
think the method mentioned is
preferable to corner lights, as are
used in some towns, both from a
beneficial and economical stand
point, and calculated to give the
greatest satisfaction to the tax
paying public.

MAGICAL MARCELlNE.
Building, Boom and Businessl
A City of Destiny, Progress and
Prosperity.

On the 7th of December 1887,
there were only two business
houses at what was supposed
would be the Santa Fe railroad
station of Marceline. Now that
little station has bloomed into a
beautiful city, said to contain $500
inhabitants. The growth was
wonderful AMI beyond the expec-
tations of capitalists, laborers
and business men of all kinds.
Money is plentiful, the air is
full of vim and the boom has just
begun. Men who went there with
money have made more and men
who went there without money
are now prosperous aid happy.
Just here it is but justice to say
that Marceline is not "overdone, !"
as has been been reported, but
there is room for more" in all
branches of business.
Marceline is only nine months
old and her growth is the wonder
of all. Many of the buildings are
of brick, which gives it substan-
tial appearance. The city is not
built around square thus avoid
ing the mistake of many western
towns; for the reason that business
houses off the square do not usual
ly pay.
Marceline has erected two
school buildings and find that one
more will have to be built imme-
diately to accommodate the school
children. Four beautiful church.
es have been erected, two Metho-
dist, one Baptist and one Catho-
lie.
One of the most handsome
buildings is the Opera house on
Kansas avenue. The structure is
two stories high; the second story
or Opera house proper is fitted up
with all the modern improvements,
while the first floor is arranged in
elegant stores, which Will be
occupied Immediately.
The two splendid papers, the
Journal and the Mirror, are we'll
patronized by the 80 business
men. Their columns are crowded
with advertisements and choice
reading matter.
The Santa Fe round house is
completed and holds Is engines.
The foundation for the machine
shops is being laid and the build
ing will be finished with all posi-
BILE speed.
A fine, large roller mill has been
erected and will be in operation in
a few days.
Good hotels and restaurants
are plentiful and board is very
reasonable.
About one half mile east of the
city a coal vein eight feet in thick
ness has been discovered. The
contract for sinking the shaft has
been let and in a short time coal
will be hauled out in abundance.
The population of Marceline is
composed of stirring, energetic
people. The Town is surrounded by
beautiful and fertile farming
country, and none have faire1
prospects, than this magical city
