The Kansas City Journal of the

GERS of the Missouri Central Electric
Company with view to having the
projected St. Louis-KansaS City Elec-

If 1t selects its route from Glasgow to
Kansas City on the south side of the
river The Missouri Central project
has been held up, temporarily it is
believed, while the promoters are
buying up coal lands and other valu-
able rights. The road will doubtless
be built in year or Two. The right
of way has been secured from st.
Louis to Glasgow. Lexington should
not sleep until the rest of the route
is fixed. In the building of this road
there is an opportunity for Lexing,
ton whether it takes the north side
or the south side Of the river. The
north side route with a bridge has
many advantages. Somebody ought
to be looking after these matters.

object Of church activity. This par

siasm of this church for this work.
One thing which no doubt operates
both as a cause and an effect of the
congregations interest in foreign
missions is the fact that two former
members Of this church are now in
the foreign mission field: Mrs. Sallie
Chambers Cooper and Mrs Grace Field
Meyers. The sum contributed to this
work Sunday was, however, only a
trlhe greater than the same church
gave to home mission work few
years ago.

blowing upof the steamboat "Salu-

horrible event. l was then an ap-
prentice 10 the Lexington Express
Office, opposite the courthouse, old
uncle Billie Musgrove, editor. About
8 O'Clock on that beautiful April
morning, we in the office felt a ter
rible jar and heard a deafening ex-
plosion. We ran from the building
and seeing everyone running toward
the river followed fast, and In less
than five minutes AS we ran down
the hillside road we saw about half
way up the hill, a safe with dead
dog tied to it; Both were blown
from the boat A little futher down
the captains body was lying in the
road 90 we went, encountering
dead bodies and much wreckage. A
mOng the dead on the hillside, was
an old lady torn literally to pieces.
We stood and watched the rescuers
lay out the dead and dying, in an
old hemp shed near by, and oh, the
horror of the scene, some eyes we're
glaring in death others were suffer-
ing untold agony, some prayed for
loved ones and for life. 1t was esti-
mated that the bodies of about 200
we're blown into the river and were
heard Of no more. Though quite
. lad at the time, that scene of de-
stTuctiUn and suffering will never be
effaced while reason holds her sway.
