The Alton Aggressive.
1t is generally understood that as soon
as the new bridge is completed over the
Missouri river at Glasgow the Chicago &
Alton will inaugurate a twelve-hour serv-
ice between st. Louis and Kansas City.
The local official of the road. A. d. Perry
would neither confirm deny the story
yesterday, but said it was too early to say
what would be done. The company is
spending great deal of money in better
ing its roadbed between the river and Kan
sas City. New rails are being laid. grades
are being reduced and curves Strengthened.
The new bridge. which will be fine sim
gle-track steel structure, will be completed
by August. and by that time the roadbed
and equipment will be equal to any west
of The river. Conditions will therefore be
favorable for a reduced time schedule.
Such action the part of the road would
undoubtedly lead to a speed war and pos
sibly TO more serious results. Several
years ago the Kansas City lines, after
having considerable trouble, got together
and made a fourteen-hour limit between
the two cities, and since then no train has
made the run under that time.

roads changed all this. The river
traffic declined. The town retro.

many Of them removing to this
place. The river began encroach

the town was in the middle of the
river. A few houses yet remained

AN INDIANA FARMER.

Immense Crops Produced on One of the
Large Indiana arms.
A report from Indianapolis, Ind,
to the Chicago Tribune says:
Computations have been made on
the crops Of b. j. Gifford's $4,000
acre farm in Jasper county. His
oats, which. will thrash thirty-fiye
bushels to the acre, will bring him
5000, and his corn, at sixty BUSH
els, will bring him S16O,OOO. In
addition to this he will have over
125 carloads of onions. Mr.. Clifford
uses an engine over nineteen miles
Of railroad in moving about his
farm.
He is following his usual plan Of
giving One-third Of his crop to the
tenants that raise it. He dictates to
corps OF stenOgraphers instructions
which are sent over the farm as to
the time tor harvesting crops and
all the details Of the place, which is
the largest swamp in the world.
He ls extending his little railroad
to Chicago, so as to market direct all
his crops. He is still reclaiming
thousands Of additional acres OF
swamp land from the Kankakee riv-
er, and the soil is so rich with de-
cayed vegetable matter that care has
to be taken to keep it from being
set on fire. Two great steam dredg-
es have been working overtime this
year ditching the new lands.
