THE MASS MEETING
OF REPRESENTATIVES, OF SOUTHERN ROADS
 ADJouRNs-ROME KICKERs

OF REPRESENTATIVES, OF SOUTHERN ROADS
 ADJoURNs-soME KIcKRRs.
 ATLANTA, Ga., March 9.-The mass meeting of representatives of the Southern railroads, which has been in progress in this city for the past three days working for satisfactory reorganization of the Southern Passenger association, adjourned today with it's task fairly well accom- plished. The articles of agreement have been framed and the contract signed by many of the prominent lines.
 There are few lines that have not signi- lied willingness to come h under the new agreement. The Queen and Crescent de- cines 10 sign the contract because the Louisville and Nashville will not consent to putting In all Of it's mileage. The red hot rivalry betweed these two lines for western traffic causes one to depend upon the other before any definite action Is taken in the matter of signing protective con- tracts. These are the only two lines that seem to give any undue alarm, though the Nashville, Chattanooga aud St. Louis by likewise refusing to sign may cause some of its rivals to hold back, too.
 With these differences prevailing the new association may have to cut it's terri tory short and extend north only as far as Chattanooga, but it is hoped that the lines among which the differences exist will finally come into the association.
 A committee consisting of Messrs. Spen- cer of the Southern, Thomas of the Nash vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis, Parrott Of the East Coast Line, Walters of the At lantic Coast Line, the commissioner of the Georgia Central, Thomas Of the Atlanta and FjoiIda and Duval of the Florida Central and Peninsular was appointed to report nomina- tions Tor commissionership and other of- fees at the next meeting here, March 27, when Il complete ratification of the work of this meeting will be sought

TAKING A NEW START IN LIFE.

Sufferers From Stagnation Advised to Try v5l Parting Their Hair In the Middle. ffFsisI have taken a new start in life, e,' says Mr. Gratebar, "and have found it much easier than might have been imagined. My oldest daughter, who is very bright, very sprightly and I might add a very ; attractive young woman had for long time told mo that was old fashioned and slow She said that if I would wear pointed shoes and high collars and fash ionable tics and part my hair in the mid dle I wouldn't be bad looking man. P 7''How I looked as a result of these changes it might not be modest for mo to say, but as to another and very remark ] able effect proceeding from them I-may testify. i"
 with the old blunt shoes and comfort able low collars and string neckties and with the old way of parting the hair, low down on one side, I seemed to put of an incrustation of old habits and to step up out of deep rut, up to level where men were hustling about in great shape, and with my pointed shoes and high collars and hair parted in the middle was one of them, once moro infused with the idea of keeping up with the procession, of keep ing step to the music of active life.
 And don't hesitate to say that it was parting the hair in the middle that did 1t. could have worn 1nmoved the pointed toes the high collars and tho new fashion ed tics but not so the hair parted in the middle. That felt must live up to- It would never do for me to part my hair in the middle and then not make good my right to wear it so.
 ITO all middle agcd sufferers from stag nation would say Try parting your hair in the middle. "--Ncw York Sun.

HENNEPIN WORK.
Flushing Canal Coastruetloa East Of RocI
Island.

Island
A Washington special to the Chi
cago Tribune gives the progress of
the Hennepin canal construction
operations east of Rock Island as fol-
lows:
during April, 1895, considerable
progress was made on the Hennepin
canal according to a report made by
Maj. W. l.. Marshall to the chief of
engineers. Portions of the two Golfer
dams adjoining the channel above
the guard lock on the western section
we're dredged out and about $500
cubic yards were dredged at the en-
trance to lock No. 81. This COM
pletes cut 200 feet long and 40 fee:
wide. The roadway on top OF the
south embankment was surfaced with
gravel for a distance of LOGO feet in
the first mile and 800 feet in the
third mile. An open ditch 1,45O feet
long was excavated across the
| Mosher tract to carry seepage. and
1850 feet of drain tile were laid in
the third mile. During Nav the
revetments at locks Nos. SO and
81 will be completed. On the east
ern section at lock No. 3. 5000
feet of narrow gangs track have
been laid, thus extending the main
j line, and 500 feet of side track have
been laid at that lock. Forming in
the arch culvert No. 8 was erected
and the concrete masonry CON-
pleted. During May work will be
continued on miles one, two, and
eight, and locks Nos. l, 2, 8, 5, 6,
and Z, and begun on lock No. 4.
The canal has been definitely located
on the ground from the Illinois river
to the feeder junction at mile 25,
and a preliminary line from the
mouth of Green river has been sur
veyed. To protect the canal en-
bankment where the new creek chan
mel lies adjacent $500 cubic yards
of slope wall has been built. At
intervals six spurs have been built
of stone at right angles to this re-
vetted bank. and double rows of
willows two feet apart and 90 inches
apart in the rows have been planted
at the foot OF the embanknent, with
small branches interviewer between
them for a distance of $500 feet, to
prevent the washing of this embank-
ment.
Changing the Creek Channel.
Changing of the creek channel on
mile five necessitated lengthening
the highway bridge over Bureau
creek and one span of 60 feet
supported by one pier and one abut'
ment, has been added to it. Con-
tractor for mile five only partly com.
pleted the excavation of the new
creek channel for Bureau creek be
fore suspending work for the winter.
1t became necessary to complete il
by government labor. so that the
water in Bureau creek could be di
verified into this new channel before
the flood season.
