ANOTHER RAILROAD PROPOSED
Mexico and Paris to Be Joined by an
Electric Line-st. Louis Man
Behind the Proposition.

John d. Orear, OF Mexico, accom-
panied By a well known ST. Louis NIL
lionalre, spent Monday In PaJ1s In the
interest Of another proposed electric
line from this point to Mexico. They
had been over the route between che
two points and were greatly Impressed
with the country and It's natural adj
vantages for such an enterprise. The
st. Louis party, for reasons best known
TO himself, desired that his name be
not used in connection with the pro-
lect at present, but assured an Appcal
man that II the peoples Of Mexico and
Paris and the farmers along the line
would show their faith In the project
60 the extent Of subscribing for me
fourth or one-third Of the stock he
would furnish all the rest and push
the road TO an early completion. he
estimated the cost Of building the
road, equipped with power house and
rolling stock at $500, 600.
In reference TO the matter Mr..
Orear said:
1.-THE matter at present is In the
embryo stage, but we hope before
long to have something doing in the
way Of construction. It is our pres
ent intention to locate the power
house at Paris with a view to ulti-
mately extending the road to Shelbina
and Shelbyyille. With the exception
Of a few miles, the country along the
proposed route is so level that the
cost oflbuilding would be comparative
" small. 1t is our intention TO build
a standard guage line so that car loads
of stock and freight can be delivered
to St. Louis and Chicago roads with
out the expense Of a transfer. The
distance to st. Louis from Paris would
be shortened fifty miles and with
both the Wabash and G. & A. com
peting for the business the very low
est freight rates could be secured.
"Young men and women desiring tC
attend college at Mexico could go from
any point on the line In tho morning
and return TO their homes al night
and thus eliminate the usual BOARD
bills. Farmers along the line could
market their produce at any hour IL
the day. The road woulfSnhance th'
value OF every farm 1t touched and
prove a blessing TO the people ia Q
hundred different ways.
"Our project lsentifely independent
Of all Others. That It would pay
there Is no doubt. Sch routes are II
operation in many parts Of the coun
try and every one OF them has beer
the biggest kind Of success"

The TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
hiends-they hate to see you in pain OF
in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to euro you
and send you along to your business-whole
and happy. They can do it and s0iu do it.
Try them on. What for? Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion Of
It, clap Benson'sP Porous Plaster squarsly on
the bad spot. They are the get-out-to-norroso
plasters-not the sort that 60 to sleep on
your skin like a cat on a cushion. There
Is comfort and speedy relief in the touch of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in tho same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them al sheet Of ice does un-
der tho Spring sun. You cannot foreten
tho weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Benson's Plastsrs; it is as
sure as the effect of q hot breakfast in .
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug
gists, or we will prepay postage on any
number ordered in the United States on
receipt of ESQ. each.
