main line Of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific is crossed. The only town
between Malcolm and Tama is Sheri-
dan Center in Sheridan township
North of Malcolm is rich farming
country twenty-five miles by thirty
five miles, which has never been tap
ped by a railway line.
Three per cent tax has been voted
at Buxton, Oskaloosa, Malcolm, Sher-
idan Center and Tama. 1t is estimat-
ed that the tax will ! raise $4,000 at
Oskaloosa, $4,000 at Malcolm, $4,000
in Sheridan township and $500 each
at Buxton and Beacon. This gives the
new company $4,000 for working
fund in addition to the paid in cap
ital stock, amounting to 100000. 1t
| is estimated that the tax from other
points along the line will raise $4,000
more.
The twenty-five miles of track from
Buxton to Oskaloosa will be construct
ed this year, and 1t is expected will
be in operation before snow flies.
The new road will handle freight and
passenger traffic. 1t is expected that
big business will be done from the
coal districts tapped by the line. The
projectors also figure on handling a
large amount of stock. 1t is figured
that the road will draw three and one
half miles in each direction and that
two cars of stock will be carried from
each quarter section in the roads ter
ritory each year.
I'VE don't imagine that the passen-
ger traffic will come anywhere near
paying the operating expenses of the
road" says Mr.. Hall. 1--WE have had
estimates from the steam railway men
and find that we will get a good per
cent for all business originating on
the electric line. We expect to lay
sixty pound rails and to have heavy
horse power traction engines and haul
regular broad-guage freight cars over
our line. Mr.. Hall states that over
lures have been made to the officials
of the company to extend the line
from Buxton to Abba. distance of
fourteen miles, and that this extern
sion will in all probability be mada
next season.

HAS A RELIC.
Memento Of an Early Day is In Davis
q, County.

Davis county is a historical section
of Iowa in! more ways than one but
new one has. just been sprung by Hon.
S. s. Carruthers, of Bloomfield, who Is
well known in Ottumwa. Judge Car
ruthers is also a member of the Iowa
commission to the Louisiana Pur.
chase exposition.
THE first casting ever made in st.
Louis is in the northeast corner of
Davis county, now" said the judge.
1T is on the farm of James Jordan,
who is now dead, and it is part Of
his estate. l do not remember the
year in which he procured it, but it
was half century ago, at least. The
foundry at St. Louis had just started
and he went down to get this casting
for the machinery of his water-mill.
/ have often seen it, / expect to ac-
quire possession of it and take it to
st. Louis with me for the exposition"
"BlackHawk was an intimate friend
of Jimmy Jordan he said. Indeed,
he died at Mr.. Jordan's house. Ihave
heard Jordan talk by the hour about
his roHieking Indian friend. Black
Hawk was fine foot racer; or thought
he was. which was the same thing
with an Indian. He and Jordan used
to run races and Jordan could easily
outsprint him, but he never did. This
was wise precaution he took not to
get the vengeful spirit of the Indian
aroused, as he confided in me. About
twelve years ago got Jordan to fur
nish the material to the Ottumwa Sun
for series Of fine reminiscent arti-
cles concerning Black Hawk. Harry
Evans of Des Moines will remember
them perfectly"
Judge Carruthers believes the story
which has been vouched for In MANY
quarters, and denied In others, that
the body Of Black Hawk was stolen BY
medical students from Keokuk, who
stripped the flesh from the skeleton
and deposited the articulated skeleton
in a museum, which. housed in
wooden building, burned.
Leroy Palmer of Mount Pleasant
another member of the commission.
says his grandfather has a cane which
Black Hawk presented to him. 1t is
of cane, and has brass knob for
handle.
S. M. Leach of Abel, a third mem.
Der, says the Odd Fellows lodge at
Keosauqua has sword which Black
Hawk owned.
