4 NEW RAILROAD.

Mr., c. EiseDmyer, of Halstead, wired
Senator Bentley yesterday that the citizens
of that city have called a railway meeting
for this evening TO discuss and encourage
the building of the Halstead Belt Line
railway from Halstead to this city via.
Bentley. on the Kansas Midland railway
Substantial aid will be voted the enter
prise by the city Of Halstead and the inter
.vening townships. Il is desired to make
this line not only a connection Of the St
Louis & san Francisco railway but also
connection with the Union Pacific railway
at Mcpherson. From Bentley the line is
about fifteen miles into this city. The
Halstead people are extremely anxious for
n direct connection with this city and its
rapidly developing live stock interests.
This line taps the finest portions OF Har-
vey and Mcpherson counties. ThecOuntry
along the proposed line is settled by the
thrifty Mennonite farmers, and they have
an abundance Of hogs and cattle.

Ether Dfsplacipe Ci,loroform.

DR.. Roger Williams has made careful ex-
animation of the hospital books, from which
it appears that in ten years chloroform was
administered at st. Bartholomew's u, 1868
times with fatal results in ten cases, being
about one in 1856 The most important re-
suit of Dr. Williams Investigations, however,
is the discovery that when ether instead Of
chloroform had been used during the same
period there were only three deaths out Of
1851 instances DR. Williams tolls US he
has long been aware of the greater safety of
ether, and he declares his belief that this is
the conclusion towards which professional
opinion IS steadily moving.

The wing of the dam on this side of the
river has been finished and looms up in
great style. The first arch of the head
gates will be turned this week. All the
men heretofore employed on the power
house foundation will be put to work on

will concentrate his force of laborers all
there Next winter the water will GO
through the food gates and not over the
dam, as it did this last season, as the dam
will probably be all done by that time.
The power-house foundation was finished
this week. 1t will be allowed to remain as
il is for couple of months before the erec-
ton of the walls will be commenced.
When the corner stone is laid it viii be
great day for Folsom and the prison. A
large number of prominent men will be
present from all over the State, and ad-
dresses will be made, big lunch will be
spread and q general good time had by
everyone. The foundation is one of the
most massive and solid ever put down in
the State, and we believe it can hold all the
weight that could possibly be put upon it.
