a distinguished musician when he came
to Chicago at the request OF thirty lead

Oklahoma:
attorney W. Frank Wilson has

them announced to the lady that Jesus
Christ appeared to him and command
ed him to take her unto himself as
wife. The lady was dumfounded for
an instant, and then replied that the

manked her to take chair and beat

came near doing It. too. II is safe to
say they II get ont of Benton county.

See Work in That

For some tine there has bern talk
OF building RAILROAD from tli- city
. to Jackson and .haucs 10 Pcrry vile.
The people iiyiHg on the proposed
route have been anNiou>Iv looking
forward to the time when they could
realize it a. 4 fact. The citizens of
Jackson have also been deeply inter
e. tea in the proposed enterprise as
they can readily see the benefits that
their city will derive from a direct
line to the Mississippi river by which
route they receive large shipments of
freight which are handled by teams
from this city there. The new road
will give them cheaper and quicker
freight facilities and at the same time
open up the northern part of the coun-
ty which is rich in farming products
and whose earth covers untold mineral
wealth.
For years this is what the Cape has
been trying to gain, access to the
northern ane western portions of this
county, and now We will have it through
the energetic nature Of Louis Houek,
who has organized q company with
capital of s45O, 900 for the purpose of
building this road. 1t will be known
as the st. Louis, Cape Girardeau &
Southern Railway Co., with Louis
Houck President. The road will ex-
tend from Cape Girardsau to Perry
will, distance of about forty miles,
being a connecting link of Houck's
Missouri and Arkansas and the Ches-
ter, Perryville, Ste. Genevieve aud
Pennington roads.
For Cape Girardeau it is one of the
best moves that has been made in
years. 1t give US an opportunity to
reach both 70 the north, south and west
and opens up a country that will be of
great benefit to our commercial inter-
ests. By the opening of the new year
work will be commenced on this new
line and will be pushed until COM

Possibly Sorry He Said II,

Lord Wolseley, now being free from
his duties as Commander.in-Chief of
the British army, contemplates an ex-
tended tour through the United
States and Canada.
1t will be remembered that the ex-
Commander-in-C Chief was in command
OF the Red River expedition to sup
press the Rival revolution in British
North America, and made much of
his military reputation in that section.
He naturally feels desire to go over.
the ground of his old exploits and
review the scenes Of his early triumphs.
Wolseley was also, in the early part
of our Civil War, with Lee in Virgins,
and imbibed very nigh opinion of
that Generals abilities, and his work
reviewing the operations which he
witnessed, paid Gen. Lee very high
compliments, all of which were ur-
doubtedly deserved. Had he stopped
there 20 one could have found fault.
He seemed to think, however, that his
praise of Lee should carry with it a
proportionate amount of depreciation

His structures upon the latter we're
wholly uncalIed for, in most cases
cruel and sometimes even brutal.

Grant. to hi7 credit, never resent, d
any OF the reflections cast upon him
by WOlseley, and the latter acquitted
himself creditably of the delicate
duties that fell to him.
Undoubtedly the English General
regretted that he had permitted his
prejudice to get away with his judg-
ment, but English like, he has made
no sign of modifying the views he ex-
pressed. He had said the ''horse was
sixteen feet high" and preferred to let
it go in that way-St. Louis Star.

POIiteness Paws.

Any young fellow who attracts the
attention of Helen Miller Gould is
certainly IN great luck. He is not at
all likely to marry her, but she shows
her interest in many ways. Last
summer she went through Yellowstone
Park, and a yonng Sergeant of the
regular army, who was in charge of
affairs, made himself particularly
agreeable to the great heiress, not
obtrusively so, but he knew his sur
roundings and could tell Miss Gould's
party where to go and how to get the
most out of their trip. He paid
enough attention to the party to at
tract the attention of the heiress, and
upon her return she recommended that
he be given commission should
there be vacancy. OF course, a
woman who has done so much for the
soldiers as Miss Gould is sure to have
influence in the War Department, and
her young Sergeant is now Lieuter-
ant, rendering a good account of him
in the Philippines.
