There are indications that this cty's

There is report current in railroad
circles today that the Davenport cut
off, of which SO much has been heard,

commenced as soon as the weather
settles. 1t is said that it is the inten-
ton to make this city one of the most
important division points between Chi
cago and Kansas City, as soon as this
new line is built. The abandonment
of Chillicothe by this company tends
to bear out this view.

Citizens Plan to Secure Extension of

Galesburg, Ill.,, Jan. 16.-The bust
ness men held meeting here and
planned to secure to this city the ex-
tention of the Davenport, Rock Island
and Northwestern railroad from Mo
line to Peoria, which will be built this
season, and surveys for which are al
ready completed. Statements were
made to the effect that the extension
would also be factor in a transcon-
tinental line. In this latter, it was
claimed, the Northern Pacific, the
Chicago and Northwestern, the Chi
cago, Milaukee and st. Paul, and an
important eastern line would figure.
1t was represented that Gates and
Hartman were in the deal This
company wants the citizens here to
give it right of way thru Galesburg,
and at the meeting it was decided to
attempt this. The cost will be S40,-
900, and committees were appointed
to push the canvass this week.

Remain Nine Months.
Iowa City, Jan. 16.-The extension
of the medical course to nine months,
which goes into effect next September,
will enable the medical faculty to
broaden and strengthen the courses
which are offered by the college. The
exact courses to be offered next year,
for the first time are not yet definitely
decided upon by the faculty. Enough
is known of the plans of the faculty
to insure that the additions will be
made along the practical lines of lab
oratory work and hospital courses.
Work in bacteriology, for instance, has
never been on the regular course of
study in the college. A number of
students have remained in the spring
and taken the special course in the
study offered by DR.. w. L. Biering.
This course will be added to the work
of the freshman year. A new course
in embryology will be given by DR.. w.
l.. Whitels. Laboratory work in ply
siology will be greatly extended. One
of the most important additions to
the course will be that in operative
surgery, in which the students will re-
ceiye practical training. A number of
new assistants will be required for
the additions contemplated by the
faculty. The appointments for these
will be determined before the March
meeting of the board of regents and
will probably be announced then.

foot of the Market street bridge on
the south side of the river together
with an estimate of the cost of build

The road is open for propositions
and has already received one from the
town of Eldon to the effect that the
town will vote 5 per cent tax and
furnish them with twenty acres Of

accepted as yet and the road is open
for other propositions.
1t was originally intended to have
Eldon the terminus but in view of the
fact that certain matters have inter-
vened since that determination was
made, it is now the intention of the
company to take the best offer.

the promoters of the company, was in
the city today and said that meeting
would be called in Eldon in the near
future to determine just what would
