City line will be completed May 1. The tracklayers moving westward are now sixty-five miles from Kansas City, and the grading is complete to a point ten miles east of Kansas City.
 Official announcement is made of the appointment of G. H. Groce as superin- tendent of the entire telegraph system of the Illinois Central railroad.
 The lines composing the Western Pas senger association will not grant stop over privileges at Chicago and Kansas City on worlds fair rates to St. Louis.
 President J. M. Barr of the Seaboard Air Line railway estimates that the earn ings of the Atlanta Birmingham division should amount, the first year after com- pletion, to $1,131, ,000.
 The Wall Street Journal says:
 ''The January statement of earnings of Southern railway and allied lines must be regarded as satisfactory and in official quarters it is asserted that the outlook for continuance of heavy traffic in the roads territory is bright
 Had it not been for a shortage of cars results might have been even better than those shown. The statement Is made by director of the company that South ern railway could use as much as 10000 additional cars to advantage and Cincn- nat New Orleans & Texas Pacific and Mobile 6 Ohio have recently placed or ders for a considerable number of new cars which will enable these to increase their business materially.
 "The check which business seems to have suffered in other sections of the country has not materialized, so far, in southern territory. It will be remembered that the wave of prosperity which few years ago, swept over the country did not visit the south until its influence had been felt in every other section so that southern activity is younger and more vigorous than that which is now perhaps on the wane elsewhere. The mo- mentum gained. when aceelered by the high prices being obtained for cotton, is expected to keep southern business up to a high level for another year at least"

DIDN'T BACK DOWN
Mr.. Speight Had No Appoint
ments to Keep.
He Has Met CongrG ssman jones
Whenever He Had an Opportunity.

The Democratic papers in the dis
trict have been publishing with .
great deal Of evident satisfaction, a
statement that Hon. J. O. speight,
Republican nominee for congress. was
afraid to meet Congressman Ollie
Jsmes on the stump. and had" Jumped
his appointments.
This is untrue. Those who have
heard the gentlemen speaK are soon
convinced that Mr.. speight has no
cause TO desire to steer clear of Mr..
James, because he has Mr.. James
skinned city block" Furthermore,
Mr.. Speight yesterday spoke with Mr..
James at Eddyville, showing that he
has no desire to avoid meeting.
The fact is that Mr.. speight and
Mr.. James have no arrangement to
peak jointly. When the gentlemen
we're preparing for the campaign, Mr..
opo'but WicNo " OohN ithrhlhh Jhllth
90 arrange a series of joint speakines,
sud Mr.. James replied that he intend
cd to make no speeches.
When The Populists got busy, how.
aver, and nominated DIR. Lackey, of
rrigg county. for congress, Congress
man James changed his mind and has
since been speaking. lie makes ap.
pointmen,s and notifies Mr. Speight,
20 the latter may meet him 10 he de-
Tres. In other words, if Mr.. Speight
wants to butt in" il is his privilege.
Mr.. Speight has spoken jointly with
Mr.. James whenever possible, but
several times he could nov arrange to
be present, which was the case time
or two last week. AS to jumping"
the appointments, however, there
nave never been any joint appoint
ments.

MISTAKE OR MENpAcITY7

II ought to be plain 10 anyone what
manner of man Judge Parker is Within
the past few days he has got two OF the
most humiliating "call-downs" that d
man could get from anyone--one rom
the encouragement of the Philippines.
IA democrat, who denies in toto the
charges made by Judge Parker in re-
cent speech. and frankly asseverates
that there wasn't the least foundation
for anything Judge Parker said
"All these statements" cables Gov.
Wright, "are the vericst nonsense. with
out scintila of fact TO support them. -
The last public repremand Judge Par
ker received was from Acting Secretary
of the Treasury II. A. Taylor, as follows:
THE attention of the department has
been called TO the statement twice made
by Judge Parker that there have been
administration orders forbiddng the
publication of information concerning
governmental expenditures. This is a
mistake. Mr.. Parker seems to have, un
fortunately, acquired from untrustwor-
thy sources considerable transformation

timated expenses was that no subordi.

"hui 'he h'aus OF the departments ha''
gone over them with the president AMI
they had been approved. The practice OF
the departments IN tins respect has not
lcen in any manner departed from TINS

Mr.. Parker has evidently been led in
to an error ON another point. lie seems
to think that the current monthly eN'
pense accounts have some relation To
these estimates. These estimates have
no relation whatever 10 present eN-
pcnses.
MIR. Parker says further that for the
first two months Of the present fiscal
year the expenses exceeded the receipts
by twenty-four million of dollars. and
adds: How much more We have run be-
