MISSOURI CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Longest Electric Road in America.-Bonds Have
Been Underwrtten and Contracts for
Construction Are Now Being Let.

The Shareholder, a financial
journal published in New York
City, has the following concern
ing the Missouri Central Electric
railway:
"We have frequently referred
to the progress that was made in
connection with this road, and
are pleased to learn that it is now
an accomplished fact. The Mis-
souri, Central marks a new era in
electric railroad building, being
the largest continuous line pro-
jected up to date. 1t extends
from Brookfield, Linn county,
Mo-, to Cuivre Junction, ST..
Charles county, Mo-, a distance
of 1914 miles. 1t connects the
county seats of Linn, Charlton,
Howard, Boone, Galloway, Mont
gomery and Lincoln counties,
and the cities of Brookfield, e,
Keytesville, Glasgow, Fayette,
Columbia, Fulton and Troy, five
of which are college towns. 1t
runs through. for 26 miles, the
richest coal fields in Missouri
and penetrates the richest and
best farming section of that state.
While it crosses five trunk lines,
| it parallels none and reaches a
territory hitherto unoccupied by
any railroad.
''The directors and officers are
representative men of the differ
ent sections through which the
road passes and their presence
on the board assures a capable
and honest management OF the
company's affairs. The Hon.
Geo. B. Harrison of Glasgow is
president; General Edwin w
Price of Keytesville is vice.presi

A keytesville
Woman

Came into our grocery last Sat-
urday. She said she had been
reading our advertisements about
Blanke's Roasted Coffee. She
said she was very particular
about the things she ate and
drank. She said she would try a
pound of Blanke's Coffee, and if
it wasn't first. class she would
come back and get her money.
We told her all right. Did she
come back for her money? She
did not. Instead of that she sent
three neighbors around, and they
all bought Blanke's Coffee. That's
the way it goes. Hadn't you bet
ter join the procession? Twenty
five cents a pound.

Hon. Charles A. Loomis of Kan
sas City, general counsel.
The bonds of the company to
the extent of 81, 900, 900 have been
underwritten by prominent east
ern financiers, and contracts are
now being let for the construc-
ton work.
The progress of this road will
be watched with the keenest in
terest, as it will, when completed,
demonstrate the advantage IF
electricity over steam on long
hauls. The company will run ex-
press trains, consisting each of
six 64-foot cars Of heavy make,
with steel under bodies, between
its terminals at the rate of so
miles an hour, and will use as
feeders between local points the
ordinary trolley car: besides
which it will maintain a regular
local service between the larger
towns on the line. Freight will
be All important item in the COM
pany's operations, and will be
derived especially from the coal
and farm lands along the route
That it is not only possible, but
practicable, to run electric trains
at high speed has been fully
demonstrated by a recent record
made on the Aurora, Elgin &
Chicago Electric railroad. Car
No. 80 of this road made the run
from Aurora to Chicago, a dis
tance of 80 miles, in "a minutes
and 80 seconds. The line between
these points crosses eight steam
railroads and five trolley lines,
and the car lost 6 minutes and 8
seconds on account of stops.
The Missouri Central will run
on its own private right -of-way,
over 80 per cent of which it has
already secured"

Detective Kemp's Keen Eye.

N. P. Kemp, special agent for
the Wabash with headquarters in
Moberly, made a clever arrest at
Richmond this week, says the
Moberly Democrat. He was at
tending circuit court at that
place, and Arch and Will
Frazier, two young men from
Orrick, with unenviable reputa-
tions, were being tried for gam
bling.
The moment they entered the
witness box Mr.. Kemp identified
the clothing they wore as some
stolen from the Hardin depot,
which was burglarized Feb. 1.
He Immediately swore out a
warrant for their arrest and had
issued a search warrant and
searched the residence of their
father, near Orrlck, hndlng other
clothing in some trunks that was
readily identified as being stolen
from the Hardin depot. The
young men were released under
bond of 500, each, and their
case will be brought before the
grand jury. Their father is said
to be worth 100000. Arch
Frazier has been in the peniten-
tiary several times and the two
boys were arrested some years
ago on suspicion of being impli-
Gated in the murder of the Graves
family at Orrick. An aged cou-
pie was killed and $4,000 Sc.
cured by the murderers.

Schoolhouse Contract Let.

The board of education for
Keytesville village school met
Monday night to receive bids for
the proposed new addition to the
schoolhouse. The successful
bidders were w. J. Heflin G. Sons

Deputy Grand Commander OF
the knights of the Maccabees,

in Keytesville for the past week,

pose of paying $4,000 to Mrs.

being the amount of insurance
Mrs, Coleman's son, Chas. c.,
who was shot and killed in Key
tesville by VIM. G. White the
night of 9th of last month, car
ried for his mother. in that order.
Just exactly one week from
the time proof of Chas. Cole
mans death was made Mr.. Ford
paid Mrs. Coleman the $4,000.
Pretty quick work.
Finding the Maccabee tent at
this place in rather a sluggish
condition Mr.. Ford concluded to
remain a week or 10 days to re-
vive the old members to renewed
activity and increase the men,
bership. He has succeeded we'll
in both respects. The old mem
bers have buckled on the har-
ness again and about 30 new
members have been enrolled.
Mr.. Ford informs us that the
order he has the honor to repre-
sent is in a very prosperous con-
dition. It has now nearly S3,-
100000 surplus on hand, and, if
necessary, could pay all death
benefits for year even though
all assessments were suspended
for that length of time.
The order has invested $1O,-
600 of it's surplus funds in a part
of the new bonds that were re-
Gently issued by the Salisbury
village school.
AS a consequence something
like 100 new members have been
added to the K. O. T. M. tent at
Salisbury.

KEYTEsvILLE, MISSOURI
G. II. Paxton.

We are indebted to G. H. Pax
ton, who was at one time de
putty to Postmaster W. G. Cas-
ton of this place, and who also
had charge of Mr.. Gaston's jew
elry department, for a trades
edition of 'The Western Spirit, !"
published at Paola, Kas.
Among other interesting write
ups of Miami county in general
and Paola in particular is one of
Mr.. Paxton, which his Keytes-
vile friends will doubtless take
pleasure in reading, hence we
reproduce it below:
''The development of the coun-
ty up to that point where me-
chanical skill of high order
finds ready recognition is evil
denced in the establishment of
G. H. Paxton, the popular jewel
er, on the north side of the park.
In addition to a general line of
jewelry, including watches and
clocks, all the various articles
entering into the trade, cut glass
and a full line of optical goods,
Mr.. Paxton does fine repairing,
and his shop is well equipped
and provided with all the re-
auired tools for repairing and
engraving. All work is guaran-
teed and charges moderate.
Too much praise cannot be said
in favor of Mr.. Paxton's mechan.
ical skill, for he has had IL years
of practical experience in the
best jewelry houses of the coun-
try. Prior to becoming the pro-
prietor of his present store he
was identified with the same es.
tablishment for nearly two years.
Mr.. Paxton is also an optician,
skilled in the art of fitting lenses
to the eyes. He is painstaking
and accurate in all things. He
is not only a reliable jeweler, but
one highly deserving and appre-
ciative of all trade extended to
him."
