that he r:sked every cent he had OF
could borrow.
..Well, the fight came on. We met IN
an old barn one Sunday NOR nina. y
was hard to keep: a straight lace. w
knew we had the dead kitten IN tne par par
rel and we knew from experience tna1
Nose would turn away in disgust as soon.
as he saw it Some of us felt as five
were committing robbery, it was SO easy.
.'There was mighty quarrel, as usual,
about the referee. We couldn't agree on
any one. 1t all wound up by agreeing
to accept Jenkins He objected. lie SAID
he didn't know the rules of the game:
We said never to mind that; any ola
rules would do. We had confidence that
he would give us a fair deal even II ne
was an interested party and had bet on
Nose We told him openly that we were
sorry for him, but he said his confidence
in Nose was undiminished and II 1t
wasn't for the strong personal attach-t
ment between Nose and jim he would be
willing to huy Nose. He wouldn't think
of separating them, however, and SO
would lust bet on Nose first, last and
all the time. "a
eve had got through our squabbline
and were ready for business. Jim held
Nose In front of the barrel and a death
like stiffness ruled The timekeeper was
to give the word when jenkins was to
pull the string. " u
Pull cried the timekeeper. AZ = .
Jenkins pulled, Jim pushed Nose to-
ward the barrel, the head came out and
then with one accord the twenty-five men
fell upon jenkins and began to pound
him and shout In outlaws that could be
heard a quarter of a mile. There never
was such a rollicking crew. Men held
their sides to keep from being hurt with
their laughter. No one paid any atten-
ton to Nose or the barrel. Jenkins
shouts finally were heard above the
laughter f.. ,l...-.r p.
"'Let me up he cried. How can
referee this fight with all of you crazy
men on top Of me? Don't you see there's
a fight going on? Give 'em room! Give
'em rOom! F. g., .''~.. 49,
by crackey, if there wasn't Nose hav
ing a fight with an animal then and
there and none of us had seen 1t. Nose
made one final jump and shook the life
out of a real live badger. Some one had
played a trick on us and had put a
badger in the barrel and we had lost our
money. Jenkins decided that he was the
winner and walked off with the stakes.
He simply said -,'.
at had that trick played on me last
winter over near Madison and thought
it was about time to get even with the
smart men of Appleton .s@,, '..
: 1--WE took Jim home tipsy He soon be-
gan to peter out. I don't suppose he
ever drew a sober: breath after that.
When he passed away we did every
thing we could for Nose, but he pined
for Jim. He couldn't understand it all.
He had done the best he could and he
soon lost heart. He reflected. upon. the
cold and mysterious way of cold and
cruel world and soon he was buried by
the side of Jim. AS T. spid he was I'M
doubtedly the most remarkable animal
that the state of Wisconsin ever pro-
duced.' r. 3. ~ ...-1.>.-~ -

Track laying was commenced yesterday
on the extension of the Indiana, Decatur
& Western to Springfield. Ill. Most of the
material is on the ground and the Harris
track layer, which lays one and a half
miles of track per day, is at work. The
construction of the line was delayed some
weeks through trouble In securing right Of
wav all of which has now been adjusted
satisfactorily, and within sixty days trains
of the Indiana, Decatur & Western will
be running into Springfield. This will give
the road connections with other lines which
would profit by close traffic alliances.
Those who usually are well informed on
such matters say that the Indiana, Decatur
& Western will not stop at Springfield, but
will be pushed farther westward.

GREAT RAILROAD CENTER
THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIANAPOLIS
As A BUSINESS LOCATION.
Excellent Earning Exhibits of the
Wabash and the Pennsylvania
General Railway News.

Railway men and investors" said a
railroad man who CHANGED TO be in the city
yesterday. ARE beginning TO recognize the
importance Of the business of indianapolis
lines in relation TO the welfare OF railroad
interests generally The business men OF
indianapolis fail TO realize the position the
city holds There is not an inland city III
the United States which furnishes more
freights TO its railway lines than does the
business of Indianapolis. and with the rapid
growth OF the city and its mercantile inter-
ests its inbound business is reaching large
proportions. L recently examined statistics
which substantiate these statements. Not
only in freight business is Indianapolis In
the front but in the passenger traffic the
roads derive from this city, the revenue
from the sale of tickets at the Union Sta
ton and outside ticket offices, when sum-
med up monthly, reaches large figures The
number of travelling statesmen who go out
from Indianapolis each year is increasing.
AS excursion town indianapolis has
gained much renown."
The speaker made some comparisons of
the business now done at the city freight
depots as compared with fifteen years ago.
TO which there is to be added the business
done on miles of bulk tracks, of which
there were then none. He cited the num-
Der of passenger trains arriving and de-
parting now as compared with but few
years ago and the length of trains, which
has nearly doubled in the last few years.
In the matter of private switches, there Is
not a city in the Union that has the facili-
ties indianapolis shippers enjoy. The Belt
road is of enormous value. Were the cars
| handled over the Belt, averaging 2l,VO q
week, thrown on the Union tracks through
| the city there would be continual block
! leading north and south. In the foregoing
remarks the speaker said only small per
cent. of the points in favor of indianapolis
| as a railroad center had been brought out.

PROSPECT FOR TEN FACTORIES.
The Commercial Club Takes Action
N Proposition.


The board of directors of the Commercial
Club at a meeting held yesterday noon APP
proved a proposition recently made by a
representative of an Eastern manufacturing
enterprise to move ten factories to this city
The factories will, ii is said. employ a total
of $500 persons. The plan consists of SELL
ing to local citizens a certain number of
lots and turning over the proceeds of such
sales to az trustee TO be by him used I'm the
purchase of factory sites. The factories that
contemplate moving to indianapolis ask no
bonus beyond free sites but they request
that any surplus derived from sale of lots
be used TO defray the expenses of getting
the factories here. Two of the factories are
in Massachusetts and two i'm New Jersey
the others being located at various other
points in the East. They want TO come here
because of the central location and the ex-
celient shipping facilities. The representa-
tive of the enterprise agrees TO execute "A

part of the contract. The board of direc-
tors referred the matter with full power to

A Wonderful Increase.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
issued a statement of the earnings of the
lines east OF Pittsburg directly operated
for seven months Of its fiscal year ending
with July 81. 1t is shown that in that period
the gross earnings increased nearly $500
600. To appreciate the increase II should
be noted that it is over large increases in
the corresponding seven months of former
years. To go back no further than 1898, and
figure on only the first seven months of
each fiscal year, the following results are

President Ramsey says: THE prospect
for the current fiscal year is very promis-
ing, even in the face of the partial failure
of the corn crop and the strikes OF the
metal workers, which are just now. under
full Roadway. The corn tonnage for the
past fiscal year was less than IL per cent.
of the total Wabash tonnage A loss of
one-half of this tonnage would not cause
the Wabash much loss in revenue, and that
would be more than made up by traffic
from new sources above outlined, from our
ability to secure more traffic from old
sources through our great increase in
freight equipment, and by the travel to and
from the Pan-American Exposition.
