RIvAL WOMAN CANDIDATES.
Mrs. Flower and Mrs. Smith Both Seeking
the Ballots of Illinois Voters.

hrs. Flower and Mrs.Smit Both Seeking
the Ballots of Illinois Voters.
One of the most interesting features
of the Illinois state campaign is the fact
that Mrs J. NJ. Flower and DR. Julia
Holmes Smith are rival candidates for
the Office of trustee of the University Of
Illinois. Mrs. Flower was nominated
by the Republican state convention, and
her rival was placed in the field by the
Democrats. The women of Illinois vote
for school officers and hold school Of
fees, and the probability is that large
vote Will be polled this year by the fair
holders Of the limited franchise
Mrs. Flower was born in Boston Her
father, Samuel E. Caves, was an init
mate friend of Franklin Pierce, and
when Pierce was president lived IN
Washington. She was educated at
Portsmouth. n. H, and at Vassar Col

a good practice and was considered a
rising young lawyer, he sought out his
divinity and married her. She has since
been his inspiration and his shrewd adj
wiser. When Mr.. Atkinson became a
member of the state legislature, his
wife ina1gurated a movement for the
establishment in Georgia of a normal and
industrial school for the education Of
girls: She asked a prominent woman in
each Of the 1877 counties Of the state to
circulate a petition in favor Of the prof.
ect and send it. when well filed with
names, to the legislature.
One day 1877 petitions poured in upon
the legislature, and Mr.. AtkinsOn's bill
providing state funds for the school
went through the Legislature with a
rush The school now has an ATTEND
ance Of about 400 girls, who are study
ing hard to make themselves self sup
porting.
Mr.. Atkinson was chairman of the
Democratic state conventions Of Geor-

His Political Mentor.
W. Y. Atkinson, the Democratic
nominee for governor of Georgia. has a
very able political lieutenant in the per-
son of his wife. Mr.. Atkinson was a
poor boy and had to work for a living,
but by industry and perseverance he
was able to attend the university at
Athens. He had barely means enough
to pay his way, and matrimony was not
to be thought of, fact that panied
young Atkinson for many day after
the momentous occasion when he first
saw the beautiful face Of Miss Susie
Cobb Milton at a window Of the Lucy
Cobb institute IN Athens.
He studied law, and when he left
Athens to hang out his shingle in New
nan he carried with him the memory of

WON'T MOVE ITS TRACKS.
The santn Fe &C Chicago Conflicts with
the Sanitary Canal.

The Santa Fe at Chicago Conflicts With
the Sanitary Canal.
At Chicago in a few days officials Of
the Atchison, Topeka s. Santa Fe rail
road and the trustees Of the sanitary dis
trict of Chicago will come together to
discuss the best disposal of the Santa Fe
tracks which travel down the Des PLANES
valley with the sanitary canal
The sanitary canal is now building,
and the route it takes Will compel the
Santa Fe to cross it four times between
Chicago and Joliet, which ultimately, if
the full purpose of the canal is carried
out IN making it q deep-water navigable
canal, will necessitate the building Of
four expensive railroad drawbridge
each of which it is estimated will cost
$25O.OOO, or $1,O00,O0O for bridges alone.
These bridges viii have to be built, if
the road is left as 1t is, not only lowering
the efficiency of the canal for navigation
purposes, but Ob5Tucting the operations
Of the Santa Fe road, and making the
sanitary district liable for heavy DANA
ges for these Instructions.
Two plans are under consideration.
One IS to keep the railroads on the south
side Of the canal from Bridgeport to
Joliet. This Will avoid the necessity Of
building four bridges.
The other alternative is to move the
road about 1900 feet north Of the main
channel all the way down the valley,
crossing the canal at Bridgeport and
again at Joliet, reducing the bridges to
two, and making the crossing at an an
gle, which engineers consider best for
draw bridges. It is estimated that which
ever route is adopted about fifteen miles
OF track viii have to be moved, and that
the cost Will aggregate about $5OO,00O
for the entire distance between Bridge
port and Joliet 1t is also estimated that
ia any event the sanitary district will
have 70 expend 100000 to take care Of
the Santa Fe tracks. whether the north
or south side route is taken, and that il
will take 100000 in bridges and other
damages if the road is left as at present
