TWO TRAINS HAVE A
LIVELY TEST OF SPEED

Out in Western Iowa between Fort
Dodge and Omaha is Il stretch of
country, where for n distance of for
~ miles. from Dennison to Logan,
the tracks of the Illinois Central
and the, Chicago * Northwestern
railroads run along side by side. The
time tables of the two roads are so
arranged that when the trains are
ON time they are never in sight OF
each other ON this stretch. but once
"a week or 50. train on one or the
other of the roads will be behind
time, and two fast passenger trains
will be running along the stretch
side by side. The trains on both
roads are expected To make the best
time possible and there are no speed
restrictions in The way. The result
can he guessed N.
y short time ago the Central's pas
senger train came up with the North
westerns fast mail at Dows City. and
both trains pulled out at the same
fine. BY the time they reached the
first mile board they were going at
the rate. of 4 mile Il minute, and the
monster steel machines ut the head
of the trains were c-ealing and
grooming At the strain of The terrific
pace they were going. The firemen
ON both locomotives were working
like demons to get up and hulG every
ounce of steam possible. and the en-
gineerS. with set. determined faces.
and souls thrilled with the excitement
of the chase, felt the great mass of
iron tremble and bound forward in
answer 10 every fresh pull at the
throttleS.
Back in the coaches the people
ass the speed Increased lost all con
troll of themselves. almost timbling
over each other in an attempt to get
IL better view of the other train. The
sporting blood of The travelling men
in particular was aroused, and many
bet; were made a.. 20 the outcome of
the race.
Ahead the great engines strained
and tugged. rocking and sNaying with
the dizzy pace. One moment the
Northwestern would forge ahead; and
next the Central would come up with
her again. Finally old 232 of the
Central. with Engineer Mullen at the
throttle and Fireman BEEN crowding
the steam. began to strike her gait
and pulled slowly but surely ahead.
and in spite of the utmost efforts of
;he Northwestern aver 10 hold her
Town. pulled into Dunlap, more than
a trains length ahead of her adver-
Isary.

A Notable Estimate of Altgeld.

Moreton Frewen was originally at
tracted to the late Gov. Altgeld. no
doubt, because of their similar views
ON the money question. the English
man being an ardent advocate of BIZ
metallism. But Mr.. Frewen is too
closely allied with the British aris-
tocraey TO sympathiZe with anarchy
or anything leading toward il. and
therefore his high estimate of the
great commoner of Illinois merits at
tentiOn. He says:
Il never passed through Chicago
without dining quietly with him. gen
orally quite alone, in order To hear
him talk. He was. to my mind, one
of the most pathetic figures of our
time. In body starved in youth. en-
feebled by illness as he attained
manhood. that extraordinary mind
was ever at work ON the great prob
