More Railroads for Nebraska.

What is said to be the boldest stroke In
railroad construction in the history of Ne
braska has just been decided upon by the
Gould interests as represented in the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad system according to
a dispatch from Beatrice. The plan is the
construction of three trunk lines in as
many different directions across the State
of Nebraska. The starting point will be
Virginia, Neb, town of $50 inhabitants
on the praires in the southeastern part of
the State and one of the present terminals
of the Missouri Pacific in Nebraska. The
construction of a line from Virginia to
Beatrice is now under way. The title of
the road as Incorporated under the
laws of Nebraska is the Kansas City,
Beatrice & Northwestern. Beatrice is
the first junction point of the new
trunk lines. One line will be built due
west to Denver. The northwest branches
will be built from Beatrice. junction is
to be made at a new town near Plato, in
Saline county. From the new town, the
site of which has not yet been selected.
one branch will go north into the northern
Nebraska and Dakota wheat fields. The
other branch will go northwest, either
through Grand Island or Prosser, Neb The
Denver branch will be built straight west
through the larger towns of southern Ne
braska
Notwithstanding the explicit statement
from Beatrice. George Gould, when shown
the dispatch yesterday. said: There is
nothing in it-nothing at all"

IL were young / used to be.
And knew what know to-day.
There's many a thing that I'd never do
And my every word I'd weigh
And I'd never frown. bu. laugh In glee,
IL were as young as / used TO be.
II I were as young as used to be,
When time was kind and fair;
Fer years had laid heavy hands on me,
And thinned and silvered my hair.
I'd scatter kind words and sunshine free
II were young as i used to be.
Ia serve my Master. Ia bow my knee
I'd sing and smile and I'd trust In Him
And emulate the busy bee.
From rise OF till evening dim.
I would SOW a field and plant a tree,
IL were young as ! used TO be.
At least. that's the way feel to-day.
AS lifes bark drives out 10 sea-
There's a homely MAXIM IL runs this way
THE DEVIL a monk would be
When old and sick. but when he got well
A devil monk was he.
So I'll have 70 take IL back-I guess
And acknowledge from what see
That I'd doubtless make a greater mess
out OF life IL were but free
To go back and live IL over once more,
II I could be young as was In yore.

Special to Tho Journal "
> London, Jan. 1O:-The Venezuela set
tlement is still described by English
writer's in the press as an. open ques-
ton. Castros acceptance Of the. arbi-.
traticn proposals is not regarded as de-
cisive, since he may be oyerthrown at
any day, and the arrangements made by
him be cancelled by his successor.
English journals admit with reluctance
that the alliance with Germany must be
m maintained until the award made, by The
Hague tribunal is enforced and the bill
Of damages collected. : Some writer's as
sume hastily that the blockade1must: be
kept np until all claims are settled
as The Hague tribunal has
neither power .nor. authority for the en-
rloyment of compulsory force in carry
ing out it's decision. They do, not reflect
that prolonged blockade will inpover
ish the country, bankrupt Castro's In
1uence. and innperil the settlement OF
the affair by arbitration
President Castro's reply was entirely
acceptable to Great Britain and the Ber-
I lin foreign office says that it hopes that
most Of the points will be arranged
an.icably at the preliminary discussion
| at Washington before reaching The
Hague arbitration court.
