THE ELD0N RAILROAD.
Macon, Missouri, Thinks 1t Will be
Built

The Keosauqua Republican does not
seem to have much faith that the FL
don and ST. Louis railway will be
built, as evidenced by reprint of II
clipping from the Macon (Mo.) Repub-
lican. Probablyit is because Keosau-
qua is jealous that the survey did not
strike her. The clipping follows:
They still talk down in Missouri
of the building of the Eldon and ST.
Louis railroad, that is surveyed thru
Milton, and the Macon Republican
seems to believe that it will be built,
saying the following in a recent. issue:
The railroad known popularity as the
ST. Louis aud Eldon, but known off
cially as the st. Louis, Iowa and
Northerr,is an assured fact, and with
in the next sixty days construction
will begin. 1t passes thru Memphis,
Edna, shelbyville, Shelbina, Paris,
Mexico, and crosses the river at Gas
conde, forming a junction with the
line running TO Union. Some of the
leading capitalists of Missouri are di-
rectors. John Overall, a former Macon
lawyer, now 4 prominent member OF
the st. Louis bar, is general attorney

Eight Important Committees.
From Saturdays Daiiy.1
Hon. A. w. Buchanan, of this coun-
ty, has received deserved recognition
by his appointment to eight OF the
most important committees of the
house. He is chairman of the commit
tee on retrenchment and reform, the
work of which is of great Importance
to the tax payers, and is member of
other committees as follows:
Municipal Corporations.
Building & Loan.
Normal Schools.
Telegraph, Telephone and Express.
Pardons.
Suppression of Intemperance.
Hospitals for the Insane.
As chairman of the committee on re-
trenehment and reform Mr.. Buchanan
is entitled to clerk and stenographer
and he has appointed Miss Kate Hinitt,
of this city, to that position.
Mr.. Buchanan, as member of the
above named committees will necessa-

technical error in the law, providing
that cities of the first class of less than
$4,000 inhabitants may levy a tax for
library purposes. This bill will be re-
ported from the house on Tuesday and
will undoubtedly be passed by both
houses within few days.
Mr.. Buchanan came down last night
to spend Saturday and Sunday at home
and will return to Des Moines on Mon
day. When asked as to the normal
school matter, Mr.. Buchanan said:
"The action of the caucus Friday af-
ternoon, of members interested in the
passage of normal school bill, in no.
tifying lobbyists of the various cities
desiring to secure a normal school that
they should go home and leave the sit
uation untramelled until bill, estab-
fishing one, or more, normal schools
was passed, was certainly wise action
to take. The claims of Ottumwa have
been presented generally to the mem
bers as one of the most desirable
points for the location of a normal
school in the eastern part of the state.
Ottumwa's interests will be looked af-
ter carefully by myself and Senator
McIntire, aud am greatly pleased to
know of the action taken by the meet
ing last night in appointing strong
local, normal school committee. There
is plenty of work for this committee to
do here at home, and should they be
needed at Des Moines after the bill is
passed. they will be in active touch
with the situatiop!s
