ELECTRIC RAILWAY TALK.


Frank N. Moore of the Mineral
Cities Railway Company was in Ga.
lena Friday afternoon and In an in.
terview with News reporter stated
that he was very busy securing the
right of way for the new electric
line and that this part had been
completed from Joplin to the state
line, excepting about mile.
Mr.. Moore stated that the new
line would not 60 through Baxter
az that village lie too far south. The
intention of the company is to
make a short route from the coal
fields to the lead and zinc district.
The road will run from Joplin
through Chitwood, Galena, Empire
City, Columbus and Weir City to
Pittsburg.
When asked whether or not he
would accept the Galena franchise
now pending Mr.. Moore stated very
emphatically that he would not.
He gave az his reasons the fact that
the city compels him to 60 to the
southwestern city limits with his
road and that the occupation tax 10
too high. In case the road does
not come to GaIena It will either be
built through Empire or northwest
from Chitwood to Belleville and on
to Columbus.
On the other hand Mr.. Moore
talked quite freely about buying
right of way and about crossing
Spring river, ETC., Notwithstanding
the fact that he is not going to
build to Galena under the franchise
now awaiting his signature.
The reporter ventured to ask him
If he would not present a new fran
chise to the city council and he
said he would. Evidently Mr..
Moore has the assurance of the
council that the franchise will be
doctored by the council to suit him.
In reply to question regarding
the grading of small portion of
the track in Joplin Mr.. Moore frank
ly admitted that he only did that
in order to comply with his agree
ment to begin work at certain
time in order that the forfeit money
could be taken down, which goes to
show that the old council was look.
in the right direction when the
members required Mr.. Moore to put
up $1,000, in case he accepted the
franchise, az guarantee that he
would build the road through the
entire city. 1t 10 an easy matter to
start to build road, but evidently
the Joplin council didn't realize
this fact. A new franchise will
probably be introduced in the Ga
lena council In the near future

Twas first advised by our family
physician In Charleston to use
Teethina with our baby when she
was but a very young infant, az a
preventive of collie and to warm and
sweeten the stomach. Later it was
useful in teething troubles, and it's
effect has been found to be 80 very

use of drugs and soothing syrups,

we take pleasure in recommending
it to our friends inetead of the hor-

The expression @He's a brfck,"
which is now a family byword, IS
first found in Plutarch. The whole

in short phrases their admiration,
dislike or appreciation. Lycurgus
