On to ST, Louis.

The following from the Rochepo,t
Commercial will furnish interesting
reading for all who are anxious to see
the Katy's extension to st. Louis COM
pleted:
The road bed from New Franklin
to where it reaches the bluffs west of
town, is being tied and rallied. The
tracklayers east of Rocheport are COM
ing this way rapidly. The work upon
the tunnel cut will be finished in two
more weeks, closing the gap between
Wards words and town. Ward will
have finished his last small fill and
will be putting the final touches upon
his contract within the same time.
The pilings are all driven for the
MOniteau bridge and the bridge car
penters are busy in preparing the
stringers and cross timbers. Neal ~
O'Connor are putting the final touches
of completion upon their contract and
Smith Il Gillette will he ut their
rowss end on December the first. The
heavy blasting along the road down to
where the construction train is now
coming, has been completed. The
grade of the road-be,l is mace to COIN
eide with the water level from It.
Charles to New Franklin, and longer
trains can be hauled over this road
than any other in the state. The
building of the NJ, X. Il +. road has
given rise to several new villages
along the line in Boone county. Other
counties along the river have also
shared in similar development. Just
west Of Rocheport, is Wardsville, a
thriving tent town of about one hum
dred inhabitants. \ short distant
west Is Doolingsville. This village is
a great Sunday resort for the Roche
port perambulates. They 90 there by

THE COMET DID NOT COME.
Ely A NEW EDITOR.

Ely NEW EDITOR
The World at large was all awake,
And twinkled all the stars,
Orion gave mighty shake
To blood-stained warlike Mars;
Adown the Swallowed Milky Way,
The North Star made run,
The Dog Star at the Moon did bay
But the Comet did not come.
Some said Biela, now long dead,
Once owned this festive freak,
And filled the land with gruesome dread
On the damage il would wreak.
But Others said twas but a cali,
In the bright celestial sum,
And gave astronomy the laugh
But the Comet did not come.
With Taurus tail it twined its oxn,
And gambled with the Bear,
And sat "a ii upon a throne,
In Ca-siopia's chair.
And mortals held their breath liz fear,
Nor did they speak nor hum
For thro' the Earth he'd rend tear
But the Comet did not come.
Alas that we have not the luck,
To live upon the Moon,
That We from dazzling skies might pluck
This gay eccentric loon;
But back to way of Earth mpst turn,
And work away hum-drum,
When we with heavenly fire might burn
Bnt the Comet did not come.

Joplin Ners: Cora White, the
"Albino' girl, died yesterday at her
home on Virginia avenue. She was
about % years of age and was raised
in Joplin. Cora was quite curiosity,
being the daughter of a colored wo-
man, but having flaxen hair, pink eyes
and very white skin, yet her hair was
kinky and her features, otherwise than
in color, bore the peculiarities of the
African race. She had several offers to
travel as II side show curiosity, but
never accepted.

and proceeded to punch each others
heads the other night.
One of Nevada's popular young
ladies accidently shot herself through
the ankle joint Friday. Moral
Young ladies should not handle guns.
The Hannibal yong people en-
joyed a taify party the other night.
This is very common thing in most
Places-only two persons being pres

A glove contest took place in a
barn near Moberly recently, and ere
it was finished both contestants jumped
on to their seconds and nearly beat
the life out of them.
AT Rich Hill there Is distinctive

A Springfield young lady was
thrown from her horse, and her foot
caught in the stirrup. She was drag

horse was stopped. Aside from few
bruises she was not injured.
Springfield police notified all the

editor, as he put his paste brush into
the ink bottle and tried to paste on a

as he dropped the copy he had been
writing into the waste-paper basket

he, as he clipped ont column of fash

Plans and Appropriations

The Hennepin canal takes it's name
from the little town of Hennepin, stu
ated on the Illinois river, in Putnam
county and just about midway between
This place and Chicago. The western
terminus is at the mouth of Rock river
ss it enters the Mississippi, and its east
ern terminus is at its entrance to the Hi
Dois river. little above the town just
mentioned The estimated cost of this
entire work is Sc 925 $50. This esti
mate, it is thought, is ample unless
contingencies should arise. The Hen
nepin is q part of the water route pro-
iected to connect the Mississippi with
Lake Michigan. The approved plans
Of the engineer corps contemplate a
water route from the lake to the Illinois
river at some dsy-it is hoped some day
soon. When this is constructed the Hen
nepin will be halt the route bet ween the
river and lake. The present Illinois and
Michigan canal would furnish such
connection IF the illinois river with the
lake, but its small size does not render it
practicable. The size OF the barge used
would be limited to its capacity.
As for the Hcnnepin, there ia now
every reason to believe that the $500. 900
arst appropriated will cover the cost o.
construction of this lower lection. which
has been above described. including the
guard lock and the dams across Rock
river. Upon the completion Of this Sec
ton the water will be backed up by these
dams 30 that at low water the Rock
river will be nsvigsble-seven foot stage
to Green river, and at high water to
PeDny's slough, 81 miles from
the Mississippi. In all 81 00J. 600 is
available, however, and the work will
advance far enough in another summer to
make great showing of the utility and
Importance of the canal

"Old Jed Prouty."

At the Burtis opera house al Daven
port on Thursday Nov 10, Richsr d
Golden will again present his delightful
and interesting story OF New England vii
lage, "Old Jed Prou,y." On his las
visi, Mr.. Golden established himself as q
popular fsvorite, aud deservedly SO, for
his impersonation of the honest and
guileless old Yankee is as clean and re-
freshing as the streams of the hills and
valleys OF quaint old Maine. The story
of Uncle Jed and his little waif is a mar
rative which seems almost real. 1t
points out the follies and evils of leading
an erring life and the benefits and advsn-
tsges attending straightforward and
honossble one. 1t lis q moral and in :
structive play and one which the younge r
as we'll as the mstured of every class
will be benefited by seeing. There is an
exquisite blending of comedy and pathos
and ripple Of humor prevsdes the whole,
and at the same tims marks out a simple
story which sustsins its interest to the
close.
