The insane commissioners who were

heartfelt sympathy to them in their sore
bereavement. Mrs. jackson is getting
along very nicely.
| We heard good one on Cy Whistler
the good natured farmer who lives a
couple of miles west of Leon. He had
been out in the woods picking wild
gooseberries and had good sized sack
full which he put down in corner
while he went to another part of his
farm. When he returned the berries
were gone and all that remained was a
woman's track in the soft earth. He
would like to know who got those
berries.
Local officials of the Burlington receiv
ed notice this morning that after July
the Missouri lines of the system will

st. Joe, ST. Louis and elsewhere, the
general business to be all done from Chi
cago. This move is in line with the
consolidation and retrenchment polio,
of the Burlington management, and is ;
fore-runner of still further consolida
tion that will no doubt follow.
