RAILWAY RUMBLE.
Notes of Local Roads and News
in General.

new SHARON C0leT. The Central
track from mere to Oskaloosa, while
yet soft in many places, is now in fair
condition for the coming winter Two
miles north of Oskaloosa two steam
! shovels are at work and an effort is be-
ing made to get the track down the
grade before the ground freezes up.
The grade north of the river, for quite
distance, is now completed, and pre-
sents a very substantial appearance
AT Lacey where so much trouble has
been experienced, both sides of the
present track has been thoroughly
drained, and from the present outlook
it is not likely the company will meet
with any more slides there, at least
for the present
Bussey Banner: A large extra
force has been added to the grading
work Oh the Durfee switch this week,
and with good weather the grade
will be finished and track laid to the
mine by the middle of December.
Knoxville Journal: The steam
shoveler which has been al work in
the "red bank" cut mile west of
town on the @. railroad was taken to
Tracy Friday afternoon. The work
of filling the Competine trestle is not
more than half completed. 1t is UNI
derstood that the move was made in
order to facilitate the work on the
cutoff" between Tracy and Oska-
loosa. The work of grading, track
laying, bridge building, etc., on the
connecting link" is being pushed rap
idly as possible before hard winter
weather sets in. An official of the road
informed us Friday that the shovel
was moved because the Competine fill
was not pressing necessity and the
finishing of the Oskaloosa-Trac link
was. After the work is finished on
the new piece of road the shoveler will
be brought back here. When this
happens it will probably remain some
where in this vicinity until the compe-
tine job is completed.
Register & Leader: Newton and
the Iowa Central railroad will be
reached by the Interurban Railway
company in another year. The COM
pany has decided to continue the line
from Colfax to Newton next season,
and will have it in operation within
six months from the opening of TIE
1903 building season. Material for
| the construction Of the road will be
contracted within a very short time,
and it's delivery commenced so that
it will be on hand early in the spring.
Eleven miles of road between Col
fax will be necessary to complete this
line. This will be mile and half
shorter than the Rock Island road be-
tween Colfax and Newton. Tho dis
lance will be saved by taking direct
route and leaving the Rock Island at
a point where 1t passes through the
town of Metz nearly two miles to the
south. The preliminary surveys made
indicate that a route suitable for the
electric line can be secured with
grades not to exceed four per cent. r.
The purpose in building to Newton
is to make connection with the Iowa
Central more than with the idea of
securing local traffic from that point.
However, with the rapid development
of the manufacture of farm machinery
at Newton, and it's limited railroad ia
cilities, the new line hopes to get con-
siderable local business.

HE WAS DYING.
BUT IF HE CAN'T GET OUT HE
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A
DOLLAR.

Charles Moody, the young former
mail clerk arrested a short time ago
for opening registered letters, and
now in Jail awaiting trial at the No
vember term Of federal court, is wax
ing quite fat in the county bastilo, un-
der the treatment Of Jailer Jones. He
wrote very pathetic letter to mis-
mother the other day, in which he
informed her that he was starving to
death and couldn't possibly live an.
other week unless she made bond for
him and secured his release.
At the close of the letter, however,
he said If she could not secure the
bond for HIM, to please send him dol
lar. 1t is hoped that the dollar will he
forthcoming as q means Of salvation.

BUT THE FIND is NOT THOUGHT
TO HAVE MUCH sIGNIFI-
CANOE.

Mr.. Louis Kolb, the butcher, of
Broad street, has discovered spring
the water of which is mixed with oil
on his property skirting Island Greek
between Fifth and Sixth streets. The
oil seems to be present in large guam
titles, and 1t may be that there is a
hidden supply of it somewhere near
the surface.
Mr.. Kolb, however, does not attach
much importance to the discovery,
and said this morning that number
Of springs, he understood, could be
found along the bank Of the creek.

There is probability that the
sporting fraternity will soon begin q
hegira to New York. Boss" Croker,
Tammany's erstwhile chief, with
headquarters in England, has an
nounced that he is coming to the
United States for the express purpose
Of smashing the Hibernian counten-
anoe Of Hon. John @. Sheehan,
leader of Greater New York Democ-
racy. who has publicly declared that
Mr.. Croker received half Of $780,
900 profits for work on the Third
Avenue railroad. The allegations
we're made several weeks ago, and Mr..
Croker, while slow In getting mad,
must have a pretty good supply Of
wrath, as be will not leave for New
York until August g. He estimates
that it will take about eighteen days
to do the smashing" act, as that is
the length of time he intends to stay.
There are thousands and thousands
very anxious to see this meeting be-
tween the two great Democrats, and
New York ought to be crowded on the
day OF his arrival.

The only way to enforce the dog
law is to have warrants issued
against owners who do not pay the
license required by law, and fine them
in the police court. Giving twenty
five cents for every dog ON which the
tax has not been paid and then killing
the dog is not going to bring any
revenue into the treasury. The law
says those who own dogs must pay q
license, and to comply with this law
dog owners must pay, or dispose Of
their dogs. II they own dogs and do
not pay, they are subject to arrest and
fine. The great trouble in the en-
forcement Of the dog law is that many
owners are in the habit of ignor-
ing the ordinance until warrant is
ISIS ned against them, and then pay.
ing because they have to, and trusting
to the leniency Of the court to escape
a fine. They keep their dogs where
they are safe from the small boy with
q rope and an Unsuitable desire for
quarters. and il no warrant is issued
they never pay the tax, from one
years end to another. The best way
to make the dog tax effective and a
source of revenue, as it is intended to
be, is to arrest and fine offenders as
rapidly as they can be found. This
will soon be shown the delinquents
and dodgers that the city means bust
ness, and the fear OF fine ana costs
amounting to ten or twelve dollars
will have far more salutary effect
than the fear of having the dog kid
mapped and killed.
