KANSAS RAILROADS.

Topeka Capital: From the best
authority in ormation has been OBJ
tanned that all the preliminary arrange
ments have been completed for the
building of the Topeka, Westmoreland
& Marysville railroad. The bonds of
the road have been placed, the con-
struction company has been organized
and the permanent and final survey
has been commenced.
Leavenworth Standard: Supt. Viii
liams, of the Kansas Central, has made
arrangements for the transportation OF
$4,000 standard gauge ties from the
Union Pacific to the Kansas Central.
1t is said to be sure thing this time,
and the material will begin to arrive at
Clay Centre within week. Construc-
ton trains will work both ways. The
road will be constructed westward from
Miltonvale during the spring.
La Crosse Democrat: Two meetings
have been held by the citizens of La
Crosse, with the object of trying to
have located division of the NJ. p.
railroad at this place, and also for the
purf ose of working for a road which it
is proposed to build from Omaha to Gal
weston. Committees were appointed, and
are actively at work. Our citizens are
enthusiastic and confident, and from
the splendid location OF Lacrosse with
reference to these enterprises we have
every reason to be confident.

LET us stop teaching boys that their
careers will be failures unless they be-
come rich or famous, and that life con-
sists of its miracles, says a writer in
Farm and Fireside. There are higher
positions in your square mile than the
Presidency of the United States. The
best part of history is not written at
all Your father, on whose memory
you. love to dwell, was never known
beyond the farm; just nobody; that
was all. Fidelity; it is the only true
test, because it is the only one which
can be universally applied. Perhaps
it is not SO much the parents as it is out
siders and the newspapers that infect
our young people with these erroneous
ideas. But, however they get them,
far too many have them. They Jump
at the ''big prizes and fail, where a
lesser aim might be reached. But af-
ter all, it may be only in this way that
the unduly ambitious can learn the
lesson of life All arts and all pro-
LESSONS are alike in this, that if use
full in themselves, and honestly pur-
sued, they will afford full and suf-
ticient career for any man.

Brewster Gazette: Elmer Albright

MEDICAL INSPECTOR TAYLOR, of
Philadelphia, very properly declaims
against the use of swamp hay in street
cars, as follows: Il have Investigated
the complaint about the use of swamp
hay in the cars of one of the passenger
railway companies, said the Doctor,
"and find that during wet weather the
hay becomes saturated with water and
loaded with the expectorations from
scores of tobacco-chewers, the sputa
from tuberculous lungs, and street
filth from passengers shoes. The
moist exhalations from this mass of
filth are pernicious and prejudicial to
public health. If this hay is dried
and used again, the dust that is given
off from the movements of the passen-
gers finds Judgment in many delicate
mucous membranes"

BILE privations, in order to reach India
For five days and five nights her little
caravan had to encamp in the wilds
without meeting a living soul or even
discovering the slightest trace of a

cold was so intense that Nine. lie Rays
fingers were frostbitten and her guides
became seriously i'll. She managed at
last to reach the Persian Gulf, where
she embarked for India.
