Morton was very promising

always worked faithfully, earnestly
and cOnscientiOusly to realize the
ideal with which he seemed

he gave expression IN many ways.
Loyalty, sincerity and faithful

THE CUTOFF.
Thirty Miles of the Road
Have Been Built.

Last Thursdays st. Louis Re
public contained the following
railroad item:
Work on the Burlington cutoff
between Mexico and Old Monroe
is being pushed as rapidly as the
weather will permit, and it is eX-
pected that the contractors will
have it completed by April ID. To
date eighteen miles of the line has
been constructed from Mexico and
fourteen from old Monroe. The
entire length of the cutoff is
about sixty miles, but the con-
structiOn work in the center will
be particularly heavy. The road
will be equipped with eighty-five
pound rails, and when completed
will give the Burlington Kansas
City route of a fraction more than
276 miles to st. Louis.
tits stated that the Burlington
will continue its service by the
way of Hannibal as at present, but
will put on trains for Kansas City
st. Louis service, which will be
routed over the cutoff.

since horses were first broken to
bit and rein there never was such
a magnificent and triumphant
march made as Doniphan's men
made. Xenophon and his 10000
were not in it with Doniphan and
his Missourians. And if it had
not been for what the Missourians
achieved we would not have had
California or Nevada, or Arizo-
ma, or New Mexico, or Utah even
unto this day.
Colonel Doniphan had only
about ] 900 enlisted men. With
that small band of heroes he invad-
ed n great and populous country
and conquered a territory larger
than France, Austria Hungary, or
the German empire.
These merchants and teamsters
of whom speak were never sworn
in as soldiers, but they fought
bravely and triumphantly. They
were organized into a battalion
consisting of two companies. Sam
uel G. Owens was elected major,
and the captains were Skillman and
Glasgow. Whenever there was a
fight with the Mexicans, who some
times Outnumbered the Americans
ten to one, this battalion of Mis-
souri, merchants and teamsters
would park their wagons, seize
their muskets, fall into line with
Doniphan's soldiers, and fight I'M
til the foe was put to fight.
At the great battle of Sacra-
mentO, where Doniphan won an
astounding victory, Major Owens,

Missouri merchants and teamsters.
died hero's death, leading
charge. What is more, Doniphan
garrisoned captured posts with de-
tails from the battalion.
These men, the few of the he
rOic remnant still surviving, are
as much entitled to pensions as
any soldiers ever sworn into SER
vice, and they should be placed on
a pensioEable basis"
Russell interrupted Clark to OBJ
serve that Texas achieved her in
dependence at San Jacinto nine or
ten years before the Mexican war.
Il understand all about Texas
having achieved her independence
at San Jacinto," replied Clark.
That is true. But Missonrians did
more in the battle of San Jacinto
than all the rest from everywhere
else on the earth put together. And
And that is not detracting from
anybody else. There was glory
enough for ALL" as Admiral Schley
said.
