And of this letter the Union says, edituriAlly:
 The communication on the railway question, published in the Cui"n this morning, alVauycs sotne Vlew> ibat are worthy uf carviul Urus iteration. The writer is satisfied that Nhile a new line to tls,. east is assur,d, is ad.ent can i'e greatly hasicurd hy vigorous, un,lcd action. Many lvi-'ns Who vad his letter will lr cinNinC~i uai Ice has vurc io inc very cuTc oi tue siiuaii"n.
 Conditions have changed nlnierially since. the San ni,7so- Eastern plau was first ls.id before the Isruplc. The time that has Iuissed has bven oHe nt raP'd dry,.lopn,rnt. The n,t,l- ui the lm- aerial settlement. and of Arizona and New Mexico, for a railway io tidrwairr at san Diego, have l,ecome much gr'-ai- CT fariorS than formerly. They rtguire such line, and they can show the leceSsarv induc, menus for its crrnstTuc- ton. Their pe"ple stand ready t' co- olcrate. The question now is whether la utilize the oplS'I tunlty that svcuis to b.. eff. rel by new conditions, or io await ih- pleasure oi the big railway cs,mlanies that are supp Sesi to purpose hnilsl:ng tp this city. MT. Wright bV-- licv.-s m taking independent action Si onc.. He is confident that with a guar aniv that the ruaI wuuli lse buIli and operated, sufficient funds could be rsis,-i here amd in the other localities that n,-,.,l the line, to build a "goodiy section oi II.
 Tlae plan is quite in keeping with the original San Di,-s"- Eastern project When funds wcrv raised Ia forward that undertaking, the purP-e was Ia show that the pr"is~evi line would com mand the ne,zie,l busIurss and that IL was practicable frysm an engineering staudp ,ini. To prove the latter, IL was nee --sarv tp perform one task that ordinarily would fall io the builder; {; that l. tD make the survey. IhIs was done IL ]. now rroIss~ei io go a step further aud ls-gin actual construction.
 It must h. confessed that ihe plan is tempting. IL is not forgotten that ihe preliminary work on the San Dleso- Ea-lern-the surveys and prOmoii"n- WAS not wiib"ui effect. IL made more than a inrrr ripple iu the railway world. IL diI not causc. the bnlldIng of ihe line Ia h. undertaken, II ls true, but noh .dv d"ubis that II had powerful influence ln directing attention favor ably to the proposed rssad. IL I- prob alAy not exaggeratIon to say that II brought the road some years n~aneT.
 In the light of all this, 1t does not s-ems unreasonable la suppose that II ,he localities directly intere-tei now ge, together anal make a snbstaniiai beginning "f construction, the result might be, as MT. Wright says, 10 ''beat some game out Of ihe bush, that is worth bagging." In any event. the suggestion de-erv-= sUme earnest thong ht-ihe same attention and study that should lr- given 10 any proposal for obtaining the railway that Is daily becoming more nccsz-saTy.

AL though the ballots have not b,sn print el, the deputy county clerks have near ly com plet,-d the work uf addressing the envelopes.

 The first rule for voting Is easy lf one wi-hr. la vote straight trket he has ouly to stamp . cr'ss within the circle under the party heading.
 The -rc,'nd rule is . pusEe. li rra'is az follows: "To vote U split ticket. th'it i., fer candidates of different parties. stamp . cross N in the voting cirrlr at the heal of your party tick |, an'l a (N) after each candidate not on your patty ticket for whom you wish in v't''. "r stamp . cruss (N) fur zach individual candidate for whom vou desire t vote. and DO NOT STAMP your party v"ting circle"
 This would be fairly plain were it not fnr the fact that the capitalized uords DO NOT STAMP" stare the voter fn the face and seem to warn v"iers n't t" vote in the circle. Tho.e Sh h" have compared the new ballet with the "ld assert that the later one is nu improve meni on the other.
 The instructions state that votes may Le cast for persons wh"se names 'I" not appear in print by writing their names in special column.

THE NOTED AERONAUT AT HIS
SUMMER HOME.
SEVERAL INVENTIONS
How He Frightened the People While
He Was a Green Farmer
Boy.

=. Hagerstown, Ind, July 1O.-Prof
John E. Baldwin, a well-known aero
naut, has returned to his summer
home at Dalton, a small village six
miles north of this place, to spend a
few weeks in much needed rest. He
has made more than 1000 ascensions
and his daring feats in midair have
thrilled vast audiences in every state
of the union.
He introduced the popular feature
of taking live animals up with him
and causing them to descend safely in
a little parachute. The realistic snow
storm is his invention and the aerial
artillery battery was first exhibited
by him.
There was to be an agricultural fair
at the little town of Dalton and Bald
win, then a green farmer boy, secret
ly made up his mind to give a per-
Torrance not described on the bill
He had saved some money and, with
out the knowledge of his parents, sent
to a balloon manufacturer for one Of
the smallest bags with a parachute
and naked trapez attachment, and
when it arrived instructions came
with it.
When the balloon was taken to the
fair grounds no oneknew who was to
make the ascent. Thousands of people
crowded around the swaying balloon,
which had been properly inflated.
When young Baldwin stepped for
ward, dressed in red tights with a sill
ken sash about his waist, the aston
ished people cheered and cheered and
many Of them wept. His aged mother
was frantic, and pleaded with him to
abandon the wild project. But he was
not to be changed from his foolhardy
purpose, and, giving the word to let
go the ropes, he was jerked into the
sky.
He was almost out of sight, really
more than 10000 feet high, when he
pulled the rope that released the par
achute and dropped with lightning
swiftness toward the earth. It ap-
peared that the parachute would new
err open, but finally it spread with a
snap and then he began to drift
slowly settling to the earth. He say.
In all respects it was the most sue
cessful ascension he has ever made.

c. c. ( |. ROAD
IS REALLY SOLD
- '-E.
IT'S VALUE TO THE G. II. & D.
SYSTEM IS VERY GREAT
~" '''
SALE STILL DENIED
By Officials Reason for Denials-C
G. & L. Now Has 1858 Miles of
Track.
SALE STILL DENIED

The C. C. & L. is sold. Richmond
will now have a more direct connected
80 with many Of the great cities in
the West. The great syndicate first
bought the c.. C. & L. and then the c.
H. & D.
After getting the latter road the
syndicate recognized the latter COM
pany, took the lead and assumed con-
troll over the Pere Marquette and the
c., c. & L. In this manner the three
lines become known as the c., H. q ID.
system, with headquarters in Cincin-
natl.
The first deal then was the acquisi-
ton of the c. c. & l.. by the Pere
Marquette. One Of the incomprehensi-
BILE things in connection with the
transaction is a repetition Of the de-
NAL by the c. c. & l.. authorities OF
any such transaction.
Vice Pres. Christy still insisted that
no offer had been made for the &. {.
& L., that no transfer was in cOntem-
plation, that no change in ownership
was likely to occur and that any re-
port concerning the c., c. & l.. was
pure fabrication.
To offset this repeated denial it is
regarded as probable that the fnan-
cial interests back Of the c. c. & l..
have not taken Mr.. Christy into their
confidence.
The value of the c.. c.. & L. to the
c., H. & ID. system cannot be overes-
timated. The c., H. & D. now has no
entrance into Chicago except by traf-
lic arrangement with the Monon. The
c., II. & d. gets no proportion Of the
earnings on the Chicago business,
both freight and passenger, beyond
indianapolis.
Through the medium of the C. c. &
L. the G. H. & D. will not only have 4
Chicago line of its own, but one thir-
ty miles shorter than any other line.
The purchasers of the C. c. & J..
guarantee the interest, and the stock
is taken care Of on a AZ per cent ba-
sis.
The capital stock will be increased
about $4,000 per mile for the total
mileage, in order that the purchaser
can care for the obligations assumed.
The builders Of the C.. C. & l.. are
said by Mr.. Woodland to have made a
profit Of 81 $4,000.
The c.. c. & l.. mileage is 263, and
the capital stock &4,2OO,OOO. the fun
dcd debt is $G,250,O0O.
