BUILDS LOCOMOTIVES
Iowa Central Constructs Its Own New
Passenger Engines.

The Home Magazine in an article
on the Iowa Central Railway has
the following concerning the line and
its equipment:
"The railway that is in every
of the term AN Iowa Road is the
Iowa Central Railway which has its
northern terminus at Northwood and
at the east Peoria, ILL.,, with several
branch lines touching the best sec
tons of the state. The main line is
about $50 miles in length and forms
the connecting link between the great
Northwest and the East, South ,SouCh
east and Southwest, and the branch
lines have a mileage of some 200
miles making in all a system of near
ly 900 miles.
Within the past few months the
property has passed into new a
agement, one Of energy, progression
and with many years of active rail-
way experience, and already extern
sive improvements are under way
and others will be inaugurated from
time to time and pushed to COM
| pletion, the determination of the
owners being to have the road placed
in irst-class condition in every re-
spect. Chief among the improve
ments now in progress is the con-
~struction in the company's own shops
of thirteen passenger locomotives.
Two of these new engines have al
ready been placed in service and are
declared by the veteran engineers of
the line, to be models of perfection
and equal in all ways to the loco
motives turned out by the largest
shops in the country.
The day trains of the Iowa Central
Railway are composed of the latest
pattern of ladies coaches and reclin-
ing chair cars, (free) built on steel
truss frames and resting on six wheel
~trucSs, while the equipment of the
night trains consists of new coaches
and palace sleepi g cars. The train
men are accommodating and polite,
and every effort is put forth to make
the traveller comfortable and feel at
home while using the line. Especial
attention is paid to the comfort of
ladies and children travelling alone
and this together with the progress
i've methods of the general passenger
and ticket department has placed the
road in high esteem with the travel
ing public.
The road traverses the finest part
of the great Hawkeye state in which
are located the best agricultural and
grazing lands and thriving cities and
villages. The Mississippi river is
crossed over a magnificent steel
bridge and the state of Illinois is en-
tered at Keithsburg, a lively city OF
about 10, 600 population. From this
| point the line runs almost due east TO
Peoria, a distance of some ninety-hve
miles, where connection is made with
several lines for all points in the east,
south and southeast. Peoria, known
as the eastern Gateway" is a pros
porous city of 10000 population with
many miles of paved streets, beauti-
full parks and splendid business
blocks. A daylight journey on the
Iowa Central Railway from Peoria
across Illinois and through the GEN.
trail part of Iowa is a pleasing one,
many delightful bits of scenery being
brought to the attention of the trav.
| eIer."

Boston, Mass, Oct. 22.-George K.
Somerby, the famous Christian En-
deavor choir leader, died suddenly of
heart failure in this city Saturday
night, aged about so years. He won
his greatest fame when he organized
a chorus OF 5000 voices for the Chris
tian Endeavor convention in Boston
some years ago, and conducted it with
the highest skill and success. Since
that time he has led many other cho-
ruses with equal ability. He was
known to almost every Christian En-
deavorer in the country.

SAYS MOI
Refuses to support Bryan, DenounceH
His wild Schemes and shows
Their Dangers.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 12.-Ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland has written a
letter to John S. Green, of this city,
as follows:
"Buzzard's Bay, Oct. Z, 1s0.-John 8.
Green, Esq. Dear Sir: I have received
your letter, inclosing a copy of my letter
written more than five years ago to the
business men of Chicago. 1 had not seen
it in a long time, but it seems to me could
not state the case better at this time II l
should try. 1 have not changed my opin-
ion as therein expressed in the least. Yours
truly,
In the letter referred to, which was
dated Washington, April 10, 1895,
President Cleveland said:
at ought not to be difficult to convince
the wage Garner that If there were benefits
arising from a ~degenerated currency they
would reach him least of all and last of all.
In an unhealthy stimulation of prices an
increased cost of all the needs of his home
must surely be his portion, while he is at
the same time yexed with vanishing visions
of increased wages and an easier lot. The
pages of history and experience are full OF
this lesson.
aft reckless discomfort and wild expert
ment should sweep our currency from its
safe support, the most defenseless Of all
who suffer in tina time of distress and ma
tional dlscredit will be the poor, as they
reckon the loss In their scanty support, and
the laborer or workingman as he sees the
money he has received from his toll shrink
and shrivel in his hand when he tenders 1t
for the necessaries of the humble home.
Schemes Are ClOaked.
4 will not believe that If our people are
afforded an opportunity for intelligent sec
ond thought they will sanction schemes
that, however cloaked, mean disaster and
confusion, nor that they will consent by
undermining the foundation of safe cur
rency to endanger the beneficent character
and purposes of their government"
Every effort has been made by the
Bryanites to induce Mr.. Cleveland and
ex-Secretary John G. Carlisle to sup
port Bryan. Both have refused. They
are both supporting Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Marcus DAILY,
the millionaire miner of Montana, was
the principal witness before the senate

He was OH the stand for about two
hours and at the expiration of this time

not well and that the questioning pro-
cess fatigued him. Mr.. DAILY confessed
that he had contributed $4,000 or $25,.
600 to the prosecution of this case, but
asserted that he had not entered into
any conspiracy before Mr.. Clark's cleo
ton to injure him.
He had not contributed any of the

GEN. CRONJE SHORT

British Captured Position Which May

ing Him.

LONDON, Feb ga dispatch to The
Morning Post from Kimberley, da e
Friday, says: General Cronie is rG-
ported to have plenty Of provisions, but
to be running short of ammunition. Mr..
Rhodes is extremely hopeful that the
war has reached its concluding stage.
PAARDEBURG, Orange Free State, Feb
26.-General Cronje's position is more
hopeless than ever. Our guns dominate
the sloping ascents from the river on all
sides and by the rush of the Shrop-
shires on Wednesday night up the river
bed the Beers lost 200 yards space in
their cover.
Deserters say the British fire has been
very deadly and affirm that General
Cronje himself 10 willing to surrender,
but is overborne by the young Beers
from the Transvaal.
There are women and children with
the Boer force. General Roberts pro-
posed to let them pass out of danger
but this suggestion, as well as the
proffer of medical aid has been re.
jected.
The kopje captured by the British
last Wednesday, when 80 prisoners
were taken, is most important strate-
gical position. Its possession should
enable us to repulse any Boer reinforce
mentS from the eastward.
