iayed in Central Missouri.

Yesterdays extreme heat. by expanding
khe rails. that the track looped upward
senicircie. delayed the Portland Lin
ifed'' OF the Burlington line an hour and
fifteen minutes on the run between st. Jo-
seph and St. Louis. The track was repaired
by removing a four-inch section Of each
rail.
The train delayed about 100 miles
west Of Hannibal on a straight stretch of
track. The engineer saw that the rails
were not level. Suspecting the cause. he
brought the train to a stop before the dam
Serous point was reached. Inspection of
The rails showed that there was nothing
that could be done except to remove a sec

finished the track resumed its normal po-
siticn and the train passed In safety.
Railroad men around Union Station say
that few such occurrences have been re-
corded hitherto. The sentiment was that IL

extraordinary delay. to which the passcn-
gers on the Burlington were subjected yes

THE OLD SOLDIERS ARE INDIGNANT.

The members of the G. A. r. Post
of this city are feeling quite indignant
over the cool reception they received at
the hands of the city administration on
Decoration Day. The usual and Gus.
tomary Mayors proclamation was con-
spicuous for its absence and the mayor
and most of the members of the coun-
Gil failed to attend the exercises. In
most cities it is customary for the may.
or and council to attend memorial ex-
ercises in a body, thus showing the old
soldiers some official courtesy, and the
members of the Post here seem to re-
gard the indifference of the officials of
Medicine Lodge as a sort of backhand-
ed snub.
1t IS pointed out, also, that the may.
or failed to use his influence To have
the business houses closed during the
exercises and it will require some few
explanations and apologies from the
chief magistrate to iron out the wrlnk.

THEY WANT A RAILROAD.

The citizens of western and north.
western Barber county are bending ey-
cry effort to secure a railroad. Hon. j.
Nj. Bickel, of Springvale. proprietor of
tie gypsum mill on Turkey Greek, was
in the city few days last week talk
ing the matter up. He says a road can
be secured ii all of the citizens whom
it will benefit will make a united effort
aud as soon as it is secured they have
assurance Of several other mills along
the line. There is no reason why the
project should not succeed. There Is a
road bed now between this place and
Lake City and it could be used. 1t is
understood that in the event that the
Choctaw decides not to extend its road
further than Alya or Hardtner, efforts
will be made to interest the Santa Fe
in extending the branch northwest. A
public meeting is contemplated for the
near future, to be held in this city.

The yellow" Entertainment.

This intelligent community will be
especially interested in the fact that
the soprano sololist in the yellow En-.
tertainment' to be given OF the opera
house next Saturday night, is charm
ing lady of high culture in vocal work
and person that has appeared with
strong encores before leading western
audiences in Denver and highly critical
eastern audiences with even stronger
appreciation. Parties living at a dis
lance should make especial effort to get
out to hear this singer, saying nothing
about the additional features on the
programme and the Iaudable attempt
to add to the new ME. Church building
fund.
See program in this issue.
