SIGNS MULTIPLY.
Every Indication That the Great Rock
Island System Intends to Build
Through Mexico Toward st.
Louis.

All the signs indicate that Mexico
is right i'm line for another big rail-
road systematic Rock Island. The
old Eldon and st. Louis railroad
scheme has been revived under the
name Of the st. Louis and st. Paul
railroad. This company has incorpor-
ated under the laws OF Iowa and Mis-
souri, to run from Ottuma Or Eldon,
Iowa, to Union, Mo. The road is to
enter Missouri at the north line Of
Scotland county, and pass through the
following county seats: Memphis,
Edna, Shelbyyille, Paris, Mexico,
Hermann, and Union. Last week the
incorporators filed profile maps OF the
road 10 the offices OF the county re-
corders as far south as Audrain. The
map filed in this county shows the
survey TO run toa point about two
miles southeast OF Mexico, entering
Mexico from almost due north.
The Republic OF the 30th OF May con-
tanned the following from Macon;
MACON, May 29.-Captain Q. J. Du-
bois, OF this city, has received COM
munication from the projectors Of the
st. Louis & st. Paul railroad, recent
ly chartered, regarding his p%rofiles and
data made for the Eldon and st. Paul
railroad.
BY using the survey work done ON
the Eldon road as far a. may be con-
venlent the new corporation will save
a vast amount OF time, and will find
the survey runs through some OF the
most productive counties in Missouri.
The abandonment Of the Eldon en-
terprlse a few years ago was a serious
disappointment to the citizens OF
Monroe, Shelby and Scotland coun-
ties, who have been badly wanting a
direct route to the metropolis for
many years.
Captain Dubois was the chief engi-
neer of that road and is confident that
a line will eventually be built along
that route.
1t is said that the Rock Island is be-
hind the projected road, which will
serve its purpose as we'll as the Iowa
s. St. Louis, which at one time was
supposed to be about to fall into the
! Rock Islands hands.
