There are some Missouri
politicians, and they are not con-
fined to one party, who have an
uncomfortable fear Of Chauncey l.
Filley. Many newspaper inter-
views and much telegraphic cor
respondence have been published
in order to make men away from
home believe that he Is corrupt,
without influence, and, III short, g
very bad man. Now all this twad-
die should cease. The fact is the
Republicans of Missouri have i'm
plicit faith in tilley as leader.
The Republican country press of
the state is with him and will
stand by him. He is to the Re-

ful to his party and his frieuds,

A wonderful feat of railroading was
accomplished by the New York Central
road, lately, feat which breaks the
record for long distance running. II
was demonstrated that train can not
only make sixty miles an hour hut can
keep it up for 40 minutes. The train
that arrived at East Buffalo at 80
minutes 81 seconds past 2 O'Clock, lei,
the Grand Central depot at New York
at 30 o'clock, and made the run, in.
cluding three stops, in 40 minutes
the distance being 1860 miles.
The stops were made at Albany. sy.
racuse and Fairport. At the two for
mer places to change engines, and n,
Fairport to take water and TO cool a
hot journal. The Syracuse and Alban,
stops were three and half minute,
each, and the Fairport stop seven
minutes. Deducting for the time thu,
lost, it appears that the actual running
time was 426 minutes.
The train consisted of three hcay,
passenger-cars, drawn by the company
new standard passenger locomotive
built at Schenectady. The weight o
the train was 130 tons, the engine,
weight 100 tons. The fastest mile wa,
made in As seconds and many other,
were made in 40 and so.

"Hop on there, Maria" he called

Then she hastily kissed the girls

they retired to corner of the station
and held a whispered conference over
something that seemed to trouble them.
