Following is the article in regard
to the road from the Kansas City
Jouradl mentioned in Wednesday
evenings LEDGER:
AS the plans OF the st. Louis and st
Paul railroad are revealed the strate-
gic position the road occupies Is made
more plain. Situated as 1t is In a
country which produces proportion
ately more than other sections Of the
State OF Missouri and which has no
north and south line 20 get the crops
TO the market, there is little doubt
that it will prove money-maker from
the start.
The road runs through Scotland,
Knox, Shelby, Monroe and Audrain
counties. The present northern ter
minals are Ottumwa and Eldon, Ia,
Ia, while the southern end has not
been definitely fixed, although 1t will
be somewhere In the nelghborhood Of
Hermann.
1t is probable that the promoters OF
the road are figuring on catching a
great deal OF the north and south
business OF the Rock Island and NIL
waukee roads The reports Of the
purchase Of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
| st. Paul have been denied, but that
the Milwaukee has some sort OF an
agreement with the road is a practi
cal certainty. The roads have ne
north and south connection and thu
st. Louis & st. Paul would prove Q
valuable link between the two fol
giving short haul to the southwest
With the Rock Island line from
| Kansas City TO st. Louis there will be
no link for the road to make a shorl
haul on freight from its northwestern
lines unless the Burlington is given
chance at the haul from Keokuk Il
st. Louis. This is not desirable from
a Rock Island point of view and tn
haul from Ottumwa to Kansas Cit.
and thence to St Louis is too long
| But If an independent short line, sucl
as the st. Louis & st. Paul will be, j
built, there is no good reason why Il
should not have the benefit OF thu
| Business.
The st. Louis s. ST. Paul will b.
financed by Philadelphia capital, am
lit is said that enough money has al
ready been secured to guarantee tn
successful building Of the line. 4

st. Louis & St.ePaul Road is Taking
Steps Which Look Like They

The st. Louis & st. Paul Railway
Company, which, it is understood, will
run from Ottumwa, Iowa, entering
Missouri at the north edge Of Scot
land county, passing through that
county, Knox, Shelby, Monroe and
Audrain; passing south, crossing the
Missouri river at Hermann, thence on
to Union, filed a sectional profile map
Of the surveyed route through Audrain
with County Recorder Kendall Thurs
day. This map shows the end of the
road about 1mile southeast Of Mexico,
leaving this city toward its northern
terminus, the survey takes westerly
course for about a mile, crossing Salt
River, about one-third OF mile east
OF the Cauthorn bridge. The survey
then takes an almost straight line
north along the section line for eight
or ten miles until within about three
miles OF the boundry of the county, II
then bears off In a northwesterly direc-
tioD and crosses the line almost direct
ly north Of Youngs Greek. The nortt
and south portion OF the road is about
on a line with the wagon road, which
passes at the west front Of the ole
P. M. Morris farm, two miles north O
Mexico. This is probably one-third Off
mile west Of the old Governor Hardin
place.

SKELETONS IN A MONASTERY.
Interesting Find by DR.. E. B. Mohun
in Mexico.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July s.-Dr. E. B..
Mohun, who was a member of the Well
man arctic expedition to the north in 1894.
has arrived at Kansas City on his way to
Washington, D. c., from old Mexico where
he has been connected with a mining COM
pany.
DR.. Mohun tells of the discovery recent
ly of the skeletons of between 800 and 400
women in deserted monastery, fifty miles
west Of Nacozari. in the mountains Of
northern Mexico, in a wild and desolate
part of the country. The skeletons were
found by miners in search of treasure. He
displays several photographs Of the monas-
terry, which show in vivid detail the pile
of human bones.
News of the discovery" said DIR. Mo-
hun, has not yet reached the outside
world. How the women met their deaths
is a question. The skeletons might have
been there a thousand years or two. Then
again. they might have been killed by the
last great earthquake that visited that re-
gion in 1882. hold to the theory that the
country there was first settled by the Chi
nese and that perhaps these women were
Chinese. The skeletons are small in size.
Apparently no attempt had been made to
hide the skeletons, though they were part
ly covered with sand and debris.'

picture. After the king had inspected the
troops the infantry marched past in column

the review closed with the royal salute.
