Chicago,s First Railway Half centur.

Under the above heading the Railway
Age, in referring to the recent centennial
celebration of the city of Chicago, said:
The world had not heard OF railways in
1903. It was about 25 years after the start, IT.
ing of Chicago before the first locomotive
went into service in the United States. As
early as 1886 few far-seeing men among the
pioneers in the country between Lake Michi-
gan and the Mississippi river determined
that railway ought to be built to Galena, an
ambitious town in the lead mining regions,
They secured a charter for the Galena l. Chi
cago Union railroad, giving Galena the
honor of precedence in the title, because it
was the more important place. Why was it
determined that the first railroad should
start for Galena from this little. town on
Lake Michigan? Simply because there were
spirit These men might have started a
Chicago at some other point on the lake
more attractive by nature than this. The
pioneer railway was to determine the loca-
"t1on, of the greatest railway center IN the
associates determined that here should be
the starting point of the railway to unite
Galena with the lake, they did the thing
which made Chicago.
1t was II years after the charter: was
granted before the first piece of road was
completed: The panic Of 1887 stopped S the
until l847, but on November 20, ls4s, the
Galena g. Chicago Union Railroad ran its
first train from Chicago west to Harlem, 10
miles. Within three years it had reached
Eligin, 43 miles, and by 1854 had been ex-
tended to Freeport, l20 miles westerly from
GaIena road never reached Galena. The
original goal Of its ambition was substantial
ly filled by the construction of the Illinois
Central on its way to Dubuque, and the
Galena & Chicago Union company, having
sissippi river, built the "Dixon Air Line"
from Turner Junction on the old road, 80
miles west of Chicago, on to the Mississippi,
which was reached at the end of 1855. The
pioneer road had built branch, from Bel
videre, ILL.,, into Wisconsin and was propos.
ing an extension to. the northwest when
St. Paul & Fond du Lac, began to build road
direct from Chicago into the same Wisconsin
territory. That road became the Chicago
& Northwestern, and it's line now forms the
Wisconsin division Of the present company:
In 1864 the Galena & Chicag 60 Union Railroad
& Northwestern Railway company and disap-
peared from the scene of action. lrH866 the
Chicago & Northwestern absorbed the Chi
cago & Milwaukee and Milwaukee & Chicago
railroad companies, which had built line
between the places named in their titles, and
this was the origin Of the Milwa ukee division
of the Northwestern road. The Chicago 4
system and the entire railway
system Of the Mort Invest therefore, started
in l848 from the Galena & Chicago Union
road, and it was fitting that to commemorate
the Inauguration of the tremendous inter-
est to. which Chicago owes so much the city
should place in the wall of the modern
Northwestern Railway station tablet mark

A Tale of the Time of the Caesars-By
Malcolm Dearborn, Author
Of "LtOnel ArdOn.0

of ssLtOnel ArdOn.'
This story covers an interesting period,
that of the brutal Tiberius Caesar and the
trial and death of Christ. There are two
scenes in which the Saviour figures, as he
is being led TO execution, and the effect his
sonages of the story is graphically described.
Inc hero, Aristarcnus, is Roman noble
of great wealth. His father, Petronius, has
been doomed to death by order of Augustus
Caesar, whom he had Intentionally Of
Tended: On his last night on earth, while
palace, he witnessed strange light, in the
heavens. 1t rose, paused, vibrated, then
slowly disappeared in its course towards
Syria.
While he was still gazing at it, a slave ap-
proaches and announces to him the birth OF
q son. The Roman marvels, and at once as
sociates the wondrous light in the heavens
with the birth Of his son. The light, of
course, was the star of Bethlehem, pro-
claiming the birth Of Christ, whose influence
over Petronius' son makes up the main in
cidents of the story. That night Petronius
ious death planned for him by Augustus.
Aristarchus. grown to manhood, becomes
disgusted WIKI the materialism and vapid
luxury of Rome, and is, moreover, involved
in quarrel with Tiberius during one of the
latter's drunken orgies. He flies Rome, and
learns of the strange fame of the "Naza-
rene," whom he forWith desires to see. His
wish is granted by sight of Jesus as he is
being led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; its revolutionizes his
whole life..
The horoine, Bethsaida, who gives name
to the story. is maiden of humble birth, but
Of strange character and commanding beau
ty. Her father has trained her to be dane
ing girl at the court of Plate. She, too, sees
Christ as he is being led to death, and the
effect wrought causes her to plan fight
from the influence of Plate and his court.
Chance brings about a meeting between her
and Aristarchus, and their mutual expe-
riences in the encounter with Christ form
bond between the strangely assorted pair,
whose training and environment had been
SO foreign to one another.
The alternate bursts of tyranny and klndli-
ness that distinguish Plate, whose love for
his wife, Claudia, despite his ,intidelity to
her, is his one saving trait, make an engag-
ing study. Claudia herself will, doubtless,
appeal to many readers as the most loveable
character in the book. Her justice, religious
sympathy and devotion are well depicted.
The tone of the book is that OF unduestlon-
ing belief in the miraculous birth and nls-
SION of Christ.
