Northwestern Special Meeting.

A circular letter has been issued to
stockholders of the Chicago and North
western Railway company. calling for
a special meeting February 10 at
which it is proposed to increase the
capital stock of the company by au-
thOriZing an issue Of additional COM
mon shares so that the entire capital
stock shall be 500, 600, 900.
At this same meeting the question
OF acquiring the franchises and proper
ty of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Mis-
souri, Valley Railroad company will al
so be considered. The directors have
decided that stockholders shall be in
vited to subscribe to the increased
stock to the extent of Is per cent OF
their present holdings. The present
capital of the company is SCI 1919. S3S.
Somewhat of a mystery surrounds
the purposes of the proposed issue,
but it was said that the proceeds would
be used to reimburse the treasury for
capital OUTLAWS now charged to oper-
ating expenses and carried in other &C.
counts. For some years past the
Northwestern has been carrying out
a policy of extensive improvements,
the expenses of which might properly
be charged to the capital, but which
were carried in other accounts.

HAD LIFE OF ADVENTURE.
Death Of Mail Carrier in Early Days
of Australia

Of Australia.
There has just died in a suburb OF
Melbourne an old Irishman of ninety,
who could have supplied novelists
with material for a score of stories Of
adventures. His name was John
Burke. and away back in the thirtics.
when Australia was only a penal set.
Element. ruled in Draconion fashion
by military officers. and long before
the discovery of gold revolutionized
the great southern continent, he was
the man who carried the mails be.
tween Melbourne and Sydney. There
were no roads or railways then. 1t
was wild bush for most of the 500
miles, and Burke had to rely entirely
on horses to carry out his contract.
Once. having lost his horse, he rode
100 miles on the back OF a cow
eat that only an ingenious Irishman
could accomplish. His adventures
with blacks, floods, brush fires, BUSH
rangers and runaway convicts were
lnnumerable. There is a cruGely-writ-
ten manuscript of his setting forth
some of them in the Sydney public Ii.
