PIONEER WRITES OF EARLY
STAGE ROUTES IN ILLINOIS

Henry Elsey, a Polo. Ill, veteran.
grew reminiscent the other day and
wrote as follows concerning the pio-
neer railroads and stage lines of west.
ern Illinois:
The Chicago & Galena Union rail.
road was completed as far west as Ell.
gin in the autumn of 1852 and TO Free.
port in 1853. But very few if any
of the pioneers in northern Illinois
had seen a railroad track or a train
of cars and many frontiersmen loaded
wife and children into the lumber
wagon and drawn by yoke of oxen
they drove many miles over the prair-
les TO gaze upon the mighty monster
belching forth smoke and steam and
when the train had passed they re.
turned to their homes fully convinced
that the problem of transportation
was solved and that the climax had
been reached. There are many yet
living who can remember just how
the old railroad track looked, espec
tally that portion of il between Chi
cago and Galena. Railroad building
was active in the eastern states and
the rolling mills could not supply the
demand for iron rails, or trails as they
were called.
Ties Three Feet Apart.
Those who travelled on tie passes
will recall that the ties were all of
three feet apart and that the rails
were about four by six inches, hard
wood timber and upon the top OF
which were spiked two or three inches
wide strap iron upon which the car
wheels ran. Such rails were not in
use longer than when they could be
replaced by regular rails. but they
were the cause of considerable ex
element and alarm while they were
in use The traffic upon the road was
heavy from the start and the spikes
did not hold the ends of the strap iron
down: they would get loose and curl
up and when the ends got above the
center of the wheel they would pass
up into the car and il was not I'M
common for newspapers to report
Snake head accident on the c. & G.
L. r. r. Several killed and wounded.
To the old settler IL seems but a brief
time since the iron horse first
coursed over the prairies of northern
Illinois. yet that was more than hatf
century ago. During the % years
prior to the advent of the railroads

Is Bound Over.

August Hokinson was bound over to
the circuit court in the sum of $500
yesterday afternoon by Judge Andrew
Olson on a charge of malicious mis-
chief Hokinson loaded up on squirrel
whisky Saturday evening and finally
became so noisy that he was elected
from the saloon of Sam Lofgren, corner
of Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street.
Outside he seized a piece of splintered
board and smashed it through a $50
plate glass window. He was arrested
and yesterday was bound over.

Mud Fuel.

The carbOnnceous mud, mainly de-
rived from decaying grasses. with no
moss, Of the great Cedar swamp, about
fifteen miles from Boston, according to
the Manufacturers Record, yields an
equal quantity of gas Of higher illumi-
mating power than can be derived from
the gas Goals commonly used. The
residuum of coke of the very finest
type for metullurgical purposes, who'll
ly free from sulphur, is about 800
pounds to the ton of dried fuel put into
the coke ovens. There are about 11O,-
100000 tons dry weight in this bog,
which is but one of many in the south
eastern part of Massachusetts. bet
ter mud fuel exists in the great Dis
NAL swamp, the rice lands of Georgia.

DIR. J. b. Donaldson, Of the First
Presbyterian church was able to make
an announcement at Sunday morning S
service. to the effect that in the spirit
of fairness and good will that should
characterize the dealings of men. the
church's suit against the bondsmen OF
the contractors who built the church
had been settled out of court land that
the bondsmen had agreed to bear So.
900 out of the $1,000 or so which the
church will have to pay on bills which
the contractors failed to discharge. Sc
the incident is nearly closed. Three
final payments are now due on the sub
scriptions recently made to wipe out
the debt on the church and it is hoped
to have a mortgage burning" in a
short time
