Railroad Runblings.

The surveying corps OF engln-
GERS of the Kansas City, Louisiana
and Gulf railroad passed through
Colfax on last Wednesday morn
ing. The line of the road as mark
ed out by them runs through the
incorporated limits of Montgomery
and Colfax, and intersects Red riv-
er at Deloach's bluff, seven miles
south of the latter town. We un-
derstand there is great probability
of the road crossing the river at
Deloach's bluff, the bed of rock in
the middle of the river at that To-
cation affording a most favorable
foundation for the turntabIe of
railroad bridge. Operations have
been discontinued for a time, and
the survey will rest at Deloach's
bluff until it is determined at head
quarters whether the road shall
cross at that point, at Boyce, or be
continued along the east bank of
Red to Pineville before crossing
the river.
The large amount of labor and
expense that the company is going
to, in marking out and designating
this line along our river front, war;
rants the hope that it is permanent
location for the road. Of course
this cannot be known for certain
until construction is actually be-
gun. In the mean time the pro-
jectors of the road plainly intimate
that it will be built on the line af-
fording the most advantage and
profit to the company. Knowing
this, and in view of the offers being
made to have the road run through
Natchitoches and other commun-
tiles, a number of our citizens have
suggested the proprietyof the towns
of Colfax and Montgomery voting
a five mill tax for the road, and that |
measures be taken to lay tie mat !
ter before the police jury in the
shape of request of the people,
that the question of exempting the
road from taxation for a period of /
ten years be submitted to vote of
the taxpayers.
This is purely business matter
with the railroad company, and it
becomes US as a sensible commu-
nifty to deal with the subject in
businesslike manner, leaving senti-
nent and the prejudice of afford
ing special favors to a wealthy cor
ooration out of the controversy al
together. Thousands of persons
have been made rich by giving
way one-half of all they owned to
'ailroads, because the other half
vas enhanced from ten to twenty
lines in value. The benefits ex-
end to all alike persons who own
ands have them increased in value,
While others reap equally as great
'enefit in increased facilities for !
market with their pro- !
luce. and cheap rates of freight |
n all articles of home use and con- {
umption. 1t costs nothing if the :
Dad fails to come; if it is built any /;
AZ Colfax aud Montgomery may
svy upon themselves will be amply
epaid. So far as exemption from !
axation is concerned, it costs the /.
arish nothing either way, and is :
My courtesy at best, although it t

It Meets With Favor.

The idea of widening Hennepin ave-
nue. above Tenth street seems to meet
with general favor from the residents
beyond Tenth street. According to
the proposed plan. it will be necessary
to throw open strip of land twenty-six
feet wide on the Tenth street side, and
ninety-siX feet long on the Hennepin
avenue side. This strip is the
property of Ellen l.. Barber, and
on it stands large house OPP
posite the public library and the Henne-
pin Avenue NJ. E. church. The I'M
prOvement will add much to the beauty
of the avenue, which now presents a
cramped and crowded appearance. A
petition. signed by large number of
residents, has been presented to the
committee on roads and bridges strongly
favoring the proposed change, and the
committee will meet next Saturday and
go in a body to estimate the value of
the Improvement and to award damages.

La GRIPPE INUsRANCE.

''La Grippe" is waging its relentless
war on all sides and the young doctors
who would not have had chance of
testing their knowledge of materia
medica for many years to come, had not
this foreign visitor appeared, are run OFF
their feet, so to speak. Every one in
town complains OF not being able to
put brake on his nose. The general
: expression on the street corners, club
rooms, saloons and auction stores is
My nose runs So" ana the truth of the
statement is patent on all sides, for tho
community ut large look as if they had
been chasing something. The doctors
are all busy, the druggists are likewise
busy. The saloon keepers feel the
pressure in that line coming towards
them and are all prepared. But the
busiest class of men in Minneapolis
are the life insurance men; they are
simply reaping harvest.
When the ravages of the dreaded in
fiuenZa were made known to the read
erS of the press in this country, few
of the Minneapolis insurance agents.
whose companies do an exchange BUSH
ness with one another, got together and
talked over the dangers of the disease,
and what they had better do in case it
found its way as far as Minneapolis.
After several evenings spent in dis
cuSSng the pros and cons, they decided
to write to their companies headquar-
tiers and inform them Of the supposed
danger, and asking If it would be
necessary to use more than ordinary
diligence in insuring candidates in case
the disease should reach America,
They were all notified, simultaneously
almost, to use nothing more than the
usual precautions. This was well.
They proceeded to map out line of ac-
ton. Their first idea, which it must be
admitted was good one. was to get all
the newspaper accounts of the disease
and its victims, and paste them in a
little book. When the book was we'll
crowded they started out in
search of victims. Whenever
thought they could do little business
with, they would Invariably introduce
the ia grippe" conversation. and by
way of keeping posted on its ravages
they had cut out a few newspaper clip
pings. These they would exhibit TO
their intended victims, and then quietly
remark:
SIS it not time that you were thinking
OF taking out that policy that you prom
ised 10 take out in the spring? If you
allow me to write you $1,000 policy
now, it will not cost you any more than
if this disease was never heard of in
Europe, but should it come across here
of course our company could not take
such risks as the one am offering you.
Take it. Ell? All right"
When the epidemic did come the rates
remained the same and more victims
were caught. In fact, these insurance
agents, who are all happy takers, took
advantage of ia grippe's" supposed
presence in the community, and reaped
great harvest. One agent. represent
ing New York company, wrote so
many policies that his stock of blanks
ran out, and fearing that letter would
take too much time, telegraphed for
"More blanks at once" received the
reply by wire Immediately,
Use any blank for the time being.
A policeman's application blank will do.
We will send you 10000 tonight. Sue

THE COOPERs SPLIT.
Perhaps There's Fire Where
There's Smoke.

A meeting of the cOopers was held
last evening at Labor Temple to pre-
pare articles of organization. About
seventy-two coopers of this city were
present, Mr.. Champion presiding. A
report was circulated that the CO.
operative men were trying TO
use the journeymen as tools
and the journeymen strongly objected.
Dissatisfaction was also expressed with
the chairman. The coopers, both jour
neymen and cooperative men, declared
that they would not be arbitrarily ruled
by any one, and on the whole there is
sort Of coolness existing between mem
bers of one faction and men Of another.
1t was stated that a large number of
men had expressed themselves satisfied
with their wages and stated that they
"didn't want the EARTH" Another Oh
lection that was raised was the holding
of meetings behind CLOSED doors, las
it," as one man expressed it, ''they were
running blind pig in there and that
the coopers were ashamed of what they
were doing"

That is large title for a man of so

reason for that, but it is evident that it
