AS AN ARROW BETWEEN ST. LOUIS
AND CHICAGO.

ST.. LOUIS, Jan, 27.-A company
has just been incorporated in Spring

by electricity, and the reapers, NOW
ers and threashers will be driven by
chained lightning. An electric block
system will be operated and the track
will be automatically illuminated a
mile ahead and mile behind each
car. Trains which are on the same
section will have telephone connection,
and communication may be had

Judge Krlckbaum had an attack of
the grip. He says the disease has the
right name.
Two weeks of confinement from
the grip pulled us down a peg Or
A great many people asked us how
we felt when we had the grip. 1t is
impossible to tell. Actual experience
gives the true information, which the
recipient cannot impart to another.
All we have to say is, good-by, grip.
Philip Gibbons and wife are just
beginning to emerge from the lcath-
some disease-grip. Harmon Stine
has also partially recovered from the
same disease.
Bruce Dresher and wife also had a
serious time with the grip. Alvin
