OFFICIAL VISIT
Was Made Worthington by Bur-
lingtOn Officials Friday.

& Friday forenoon officers of the
Burlington road visited here to look
the prospects of the town over and
the route for the new line through
the city. ~. .:s.. ~. r..
The party consisted of R. r. Cable
chairman of board of directors, d.
rectors Griggs and Kimball, G. j.
Ives, president, r. Williams, vice.
president and General Supt., w. r.
Ward Division Supt., NJ. M. Knapp
General Freight Agent, H. F. White
chief engineer. They only spent
about half an hour here taking trip
on foot over the line along the lake
and up through town, accompanied
by Thos: Brown who has been secur-
ing the right of way.
They expressed themselves as being
very much gratitied with the enter
prise and prosperity apparent on ev-
cry hand in the village. They also
said in substance, that they would
make improvements in every line in
the village that the citizens could
point to with pride and satisfaction
at all times, also that the track would
be run under the Omaha as soon as
practicable.
The officers favored the foot of Sd
or 4th avenue for depot grounds, as it
would be the most convenient for all
purposes.

CONTRACTORS uFRE.
Work will Commence at Once.

Monday noon R. D. Ebay, contract
or for the new Burlington extension,
arrived here to at once commence
grading on the new line.
He says some of the men are on
the ground and the grading outfits
will be here in day or so. Camps
will be established every few miles
and he wants to get the work COM
pleted through to Hardwick before
being shut off by winter weather. He
has let some of the work to another
contractor.
He says the work will first be COM
menced at this end, so a track can be
put down to connect with the Omaha
so that material can be taken out.
The track will be laid as fast as the
grading is done and all work will be
pushed with all possible haste.

NEXT !|::,'I, II SPRING !|| 2 \ ].
The Omaha Road Will Make
More Permanent Improve
mentS Here.

Officers of the Omaha road have
given out the information that no
more improvements will be made
here this year, but next year contem-
plated work will again be taken up
in the spring.
They have said that next spring
the track along the freight depot
would be raised up four feet, or up
to the pre- sent freight house platform
and the freight house raised up
again. This will he done so as IT,
raise the track sufficiently for the
Burlington to put in their under
ground crossing.
1: has also been said that the
round house will not be built this fall
but next spring one will be con-
structed probably on the ground op-
posite the freight house as instruc-
tions have been given not to pile
any more heavy material there, and
it has been ordered that the old
round house be repaired so as to car
ry them through this winter.
These facts are sufficient in them
selves that the underground cros-
sing of the Burlington is not myth
but assured fact.

NARROW ESCAPE
From Being Run Over by
Passenger Train.

Tuesday afternoon while Henry AL
bertson, living in Jackson county near
the line, was returning home, he had
a narrow escape from being run over
by the 4:30 passenger train.
He was just about to cross the
track with a heavy load of coal when
the train passed. The team was
frightened and turned sharply
around, breaking the tongue out OF
the wagon, which was left about
eighteen or twenty feet from the
track.
NJ. Albertson claims he was beck
oned by somo one on the track, tc
come ahead and did not see the ap
preaching train.
Incidents of this kind are becom
ing quite frequent of late and only {
couple of weeks ago two ladies had {
narrow escape from death.
This crossing is an exceedingly
dangerous one as there are so many
trains in the yards, switching ane
running through. Railroad mel
have been heard to say that a fagma'
should be stationed there and it il
only a question of time when a flag
man will have to be stationed ther
or there will be loss of life.

Mu.cuInr POWER, of a Beetle.

The following anecdote of a three
horned beetle will give some idea of its
vast strength of body. A beetle was
brought in, and, there being no box at
hand in which to put it, it was clapped
under a quart bottle of milk, which
happened to be upon the table, the hol-
low at the bottom of the bottle allowing
the insect to stand upright.
Presently the bottle began to move
slowly and glide along the smooth ia
BILE, propelled by the muscular power of
the imprisoned beetle. and continued
its travels for some time, to the aston
ishment of all who witnessed it. The
weight of the bottle and its contents
could not have been less than three
pounds and half. while that of the
beetle was about half an ounce. So that
it readily moved a weight 112 times
greater than its own
A better notion than figures can con-
vey will be obtained of this feat by sup
posing lad of 1 3 to be imprisoned
under a great bell weighing IL, 600
pounds and to move it to and fro upon
a smooth pavement by pushing it from
within.-New York Sum-

Too Much of q Jar.

A little group of professional men
were talking of dentists the other day
when the stout man of the party related
a humorous incident that occurred
some time ago. 1t happened in a dem
fists Office in Kansas City.
A typical COW puncher came in and
wanted tooth treated. He was big
fellow with an immense soft hat, and
when he deposited himself in the oper-
ating chair everything creaked.
Mind you don't hurt me-" he said
in a menacing tone, and then the dem
tist got to work.
After boring into the tooth moment
he paused.
Now" he said, "don't stir. If You
do. this tool may slip and your nerve
will get nasty jar"
All went well for a few moments and
tie big fellow threw his head back.
There was yell, scramble. a fall
ing chair, and then brawny fist flew
out, and dazed and bleeding dentist
picked himself from the floor on the
opposite side of the room.
"You blamed idiot" he mumbled
with his hand ON his jaw, 81 told you

The Name Tombigbee.

Mr. Charles Gibson of Eufaula, I. T. i,
says that Tombigbee river is often
written about and is in history, and not
one in a thousand knows why it is called
Tombigbee. Years ago there was such
a thing as a white man coming among
the North American Indians. 1t was
the case with the naming of this river.
There was lone white man among the
Choctaw Indians. He was a friendly
white man, not a boomer nor land
grabber. nor was he hobo.
He was workingman and farmed a
little, built houses or huts for the ma
tives. and here comes in the history Of
not only the naming of the river, but
when the North American Indians be-
gan to bury their dead this white man
could make a ccffin and persuaded the
wild men to bury their dead under the
sod. This good man lived on the banks
of the river The Choctaws did not
know his name, but called him the
coffin maker. which in Choctaw is
etombe igbee. From this the white man
has changed the above Choctaw words to
Tombigbee interchangeable Trib-
