Another Railroad Rumor.

Prom the LAddonia Herald
Possibly in the near future interest
will again be revived in another rail
road for Laddonia. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul wants to get
into st. Louis. One Of its plans is to
parallel the Rock Island from Dav-
export, La, to Peoria, ILL.,, and then
get into st. Louis w the Chicago,
Peoria & st. Louis road.
Tuesdays Reabiic states that an
other way by which the c., NJ. Il st.
p. could get into st. Louis is by the
Burlington.
The purchase OF the Iowa & st.
Louis, a line 81 miles long, extending
from Centeryille to Biddle, Mo-, by
the Burlington was made some time
ago..
This line could be used by the o.
NJ. s. st. p, aud not only taps tho
rich coal fields near st. Louis, bui
could be carried through to st. Loui
with comparatively little expense.
For this reason IL is possible thai
the c., NJ. 4 st. r. will try 20 buy il

would not be as direct as the line via
