A special to the Denver News from
Texas Creek, under date Of November
9th. has the following to say CON
corning the completion Of the new
railroad:
Texas Greek. Colo. Nov. 6.-The
Wet Mountain railroad, running from
Westcliffe to Texas Creek to connect
with the Denver & Rio Grande, Is fast
being pushed to completion by an
immense body of workmen. Bridge
1s5, crossing the Arkansas river at
Texas Creek, is now completed and
track laying has commenced on the
line with q view of having work trains
put on the road at an early date.
This will be great help to the
graders and bridge building depart
ment, as to receiving and discharging
material, as at present the wagon
trains are naturally slow, but in future
the completing of the road will be
carried on vigorously and no doubt
within the next forty days the citi-
zens of Westcliffe will have the
pleasure of seeing trains steaming
into their city.
Bridge 1854 has span l28 feet
long and twenty-eight feet deep and
is the heaviest deck span in the West.
The road from the west end Of the
bridge forms a letter S, extending
one and a half miles through the
canon and returning along the side
of the mountain 200 feet above the
starting point and completely wrap
ping itself around the mountain, which
will give the travelling public fine
view Of scenery. The road is twenty
eight miles long and will handle the
product of rich veins of minerals. It
also traverses and opens up great
stock country, where cattle, hogs and
sheep,hay and grain are in abundance.
A ten-mile horseback ride on either
side Of the road will enable the hun
ter to reach as fine hunting ground
as any in the state, where lion. deer,
bear, goat elk, grouse, ETC., are
found.
Forty days ago the town of Texas
Creek consisted of a depot and sec
tion house and wasshardly recognized
by the railroad officials as station.
Today three retail stores, good
hotel three restaurants, county school,
posto6ice. charcoal works, feed store,
soda water bottling house, seven sa-
looms. gambling halls, etc., make it
lively Western town.
A $4,000 hotel for th, accommo-
dation Of the travelling public will be
erected here.

The Hampden-Sidney Dramatic
Club rendered the above in our Opera
House on last Friday evening. We
but voice the verdict Of large and
well representative audience when we
say "well done"
The wonder to US is that young
men engaged in the ordinary avOca-
tions of college life, find time in which
to perfect a program like that. This
they had done admirably well, so there
was no awkward pause or uncomforta-
BILE hitch in its rendition. All did well,
and there were some Upright particu-
lar stars" before the fOotiights. The
faculty and students of the Normal
school were out in full force, and we
are glad to believe that the evening
with them was pleasant one. Hamp-
den Sidney boys are always welcomed
to Farmyille.

Editor Hfraid, Last Sunday in

sermons and three solos, all good and
helpful. In the morning heard Rev.

church, on election" or "prcdcstina-
tion,N one of the hard subjects of Gods
word; but the preacher said he found
II there, and while he couldn't recon-
ellie it with mans "free agency he
wouldn't dodge it-and he didn't; on
the contrary looked it full in the face
and dealt with it in a manner stronger
than ever heard before.
In the afternoon | heard Rev. Mr..
Capers, at the Episcopal church, in an
earnest appeal for that righteousness
which is born OF faith rather than of
works, and at night | heard for the
first time the new pastor Of the Baptist
church, Rev. Mr.. Thompson, who
urged upon christians 50 to live that
when the world "took knowledge Of
them, it would be constrained to say
that the work of Christ in them had
been well done. regret that the day
wasn't long enough TO have given me
one hour with Rev. Mr.. Hunter, Of
the Methodist church, but this privi-
lege | hold in reserve.

church, and i'm the afternoon at the
Episcopal. and each time to the de
light of those who heard her, a. is her
wont, while Mr. Fleming rendered a

evening services of the Baptist church.

sings, and people thus favored should
not forget that to whom much is given
OF them much will be required.

That the earnest handling of religious
themes and the portrayal Of religious
characters before the fOotlights is not
in doubtful taste is thoroughly proven
by the success which has greeted Chas.
w. Chase's dramatization Of Henry
Sienkiewicz's famous novel, "Quo
Vadis." 1t is everywhere described as
wonderful production, reverently
played, finely staged and beautifully
costumed, filled with interest and so
realistic that once seen it can never be
forgotten. The prayer scene by the
Apostle Peter in the third act is so
beautiful in its simplicity that nothing
can exceed the intense devotional still
ness with which it is received by the
audience. 1t is play in which those
