Excerpt from Engineers Report.

In looking over the features of the
line we would especially call atten-
tion to the location relative to travel,
and the truck farming interests as
well. The Durant Lexington ,,Ry.
will be the connecting link between
the main line of the Illinois Central
and the Y. and II. Y. r. Rs. All
persons going to Lexington come to
Durant, take the Y, & M. V. r. 4. to
Lexington, fettirfiffhgs d 'Durant TO
take the |. G. r. r. The railway
passes through one of the most fer
tile sections Of the State, connecting
Durant, Castalian Springs, Owens and
Lexington. ..
DuRANT, the eastern terminus of
the road, is a hustling town Of $500
inhabitants, located on the main line
of the Illinois Central K. r., at the
junction running east and west, and
it is said that more people change
cars at this town than any other in
the State. Situated in the eastern
part of Holmes county, it has a large
population to draw from in the ad-
joining county. From the books Of
the various hotels it is shown that
over SO people stopped there per day
during the last six months, and Of
these 80 per cent went to Lexington,
returning to Durant to take the main
line of the Illinois Central R. r,
Building is rapidly going on in the
western part of the town along the
the electric line, and, it is predicted
will reach the Castalian Springs in a
few years. Many wealthy planters
in the Delta keep their families here
during the summer months, them
selves coming out to spend Sundays.
With your facilities for travel, this
will be much more desirable. Many
intend to buy lots and build along the
line.

east of Durant, is one of the best
known health resorts in the South
From the hooks of the hotel, it is
shown that over 1000 people We're
there from May lst to to Nov |

room hotel with outside dining room
and kitchen is now being erected, and
other extensive improvements are be-
ing made in anticipation Of the large
increase in business from this line.
A lake covering 40 acres
is being made, as also base
ball park, race track. golf links, ten
mis- court, public park, in fact every
thing to make a desirable Summer
and Winter resort. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the present managers to run
excursions every Saturday from all
points to the Springs This has not
been done for some years owing to
the fact that the crowds couldn't be
handled after their arrival in Durant,
OWENS, eight miles from Durant,
and five miles from Lexington, is a
busy little town and summer resort.

ments are going on there.

of the public roads of said county, as

Section 3. 1t is further agreed

to this every farmer along the line is
preparing to devote his attention to

this, as rapid transportation is as

develop, but you can expect the re-

any one that this is the greatest ber-

from Durant and other points, raised

in the other case, .iailer Harthcock

good citizen Of Lexington furnished
these two young men with a ticket

justify the stealing of a ride. 1t Is
wrong and against law that knows
no discrimination. However, we are
glad to say that our Lexington peo-
pie We're humane enough to rescue

might never have overcome.

Two young men, Bruno Fischer, OF

QUEEN WEARS FEW JEWELS
Alexandra of England Sets a New
Fashion Which Society Will
Follow.

London.-Queen Alexandra has of late
begun to set fashion which is causing
CONSERVATION to millionaire women
and jewellers. She wears few Jewels,
and these of the simplest. II is said in
court circles that the queen is tired OF
the ostentatious display OF gorgeous
jewels, in which American women have
had so great part. Recently at the
opera 1t has been noticeable that the
queen had only quiet pearl collar or q
small diamond ornament, while the
women in the surrounding boxes flashed
like miniature lighthouses.
The royal circle is gradually following
the queens example. so 1t is expected
that fashionable women will soon be dis
tinguishable by the absence of ostenta-
ton in jewels.
The king of Spain is not of Queen AL
exandra's way of thinking. He has an
intense love of gems, and was never done
exclaiming over the magnificence of the
display Of jewels at the gala perform
ance at the opera. AS he specially loves
sapphires the queen asked Mrs. Mackay's 8
jeweler to show the young king Mrs.
Mackay's famous sapphire set, and he
was so delighted that he took sketch
Of the ornaments intending to get them
duplicated for his future bride.

TAUNTS CAUSE SUICIDE
He Preferred Death to Being "Guyed"
by Fellow Workmen.


NEW YORK, May 4.-George Helm
del, As years old, died in ST. James
hospital, Newark, from the effects of
a dose of sulphuric acid, which ne
swallowed in the chemical establish
ment of Heller & Mertz, where he was
employed. 1t mad not been known that
Heindel had any troubles, and the
reason for his act was mystery until
a few moments before he died.
Heindell aroused himself sufficiently
tc tell his wife, she says, that he was
driven to self-destruction by the long
and almost continual taunts of a fell
low workman. He expressed sorrow
for what he had done, but said that his
sensitive nature could not stand the
frequent sarcastic remarks hurled at
him by the man because he (HeindeD
lived in a house which was partly oc-
cupied by Poles. He said he did not
want to complain of the matter to the
firm. and had not told his wife any
thing about it because he did not want
her to worry.
Investigation showed that Heindel
had complained to several persons that
he was being continually "guyed' by
one of the workmen in the same estab-
lishment. He asked a neignbor to see
the firm for him and have it stopped,
but the neighbor did not take the re-
quest seriously and neglected 1t.
