THEY MAY DO IT.
officials of Missouri Pacific Have NO
ton to Fix Central Branch.

Officials of the Missouri Pacific are
seriously threatening to patch up the
Central Branch between Downs and Lee
nora, with some old rails taken from the
Colorado division. in response to the or
der of the state board of railroad COM
missioners that the Central Branch be
fixed up.
People tell some very hard stories
about the Central Branch; about the
weeds growing up in the track to such
funniest part of it is that some of these
stories are true.
Frank Doster has received from Vice
President Alex G. Cochran, of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, a letter about the Central
Branch patchwork. Cochran it will be
remembered, is the man who made a
speech at the last Kansas Day club
banquet, in which he told how much
he loved Kansas and how much the Mis-
souri, Pacific is doing for the state. The
letter is in part as follows:
Referring to condition of Central
Branch into Lenora. our efforts since
date of commissions order have been
to comply with terms of said order as
said order and July 81, have put in 5000
cross-ties and about $4,000 ineal feet of
rail, relieving this amount of worn ties
and rails
inability of mills to promptly fill orders
for new rails which we placed last
spring. We have promise that this
shipment will begin early this month.
This new steel will be laid on Col
orado division, thus relieving relaying
rail which will at once be shipped to
Central Branch for track repairs be-
tween Downs and Lenora.
work also delayed account inability
to secure labor during harvest, most OF
our track men having deserted US &c
work in harvest fields.

Say yellow Fever Can't Be Carried in
Bananas.

The Armstrong Anderson and the
Lux commission companies deny that
there is any danger in eating bananas
at this time. They state that the re-
port that yellow fever germs are apt
to be circulated through this instru-
mentality has no foundation to it and
was given out by a firm which does
not deal in bananas and with the evil
dent intention of hurting the banana
trade in local way.

We're together and decided about 10

and woke up the register of deeds and

The people OF the little town of Jack

the friends OF the groom in this city.
The young ma Bud Adams who
was brought he.e from Pikeville Some
time ago and placed in the Emergency
Hospital, died this morning. He was
severely burned by falling into the
fire while he had a fit. Since he has
been in the hospital he has suffered
untold agony and the angel Of death
relieved him about G o'clock this
morning. His remains were inferred
in Willowdale cemetery this after
noon.
The people OF Pikevilie desire TO
put a ~1ispensary in operation since
the refusal of the board of county
commissioners to grant license TO the
former saloon keepers there. They
wished to have open barrooms and
! would have made application 20 the

granted the recommendation. It is
learned at the last moment that they

because Of the municipal election
which takes place In May. The Watts
law prohibits the holding of an cleo
ton on the d~ispensary or prohibition
question within ninety days OF any
municipal or State election and the
people OF Pikeville will have to he
content with blind tigers until the
proper time shall roll round.
