Leonard Nixon tried to give us an
interesting item for publication, by fall
ing from telephone pole, Wednesday.
He spoiled its news value largely, how
ever by catching about half way down,
and escaping injury. At least that's
what he says about it, and offers to show
any man who doubts it, the pole, as COM
plete proof.
One would think the Laxative idea
in cough syrup should have been ad
vanced long before it was. 1t seems
the only rational remedy for Coughs
and Colds would be to move the bowels
and clean the mucous membranes Of
the throat and lungs at the same time.

Miles of Road in This Part Of

Approximately 175 miles of line will
be built in this immediate section OF
Illinois by the Mckinley people dur
Herald Transcript. The first line TO
be constructed will be the Peoria
Bloomington division to be followed
by Decatur, Champaign, Peoria and
Galesburg lines.
The lines between Decatur and
Bloomington is now finished with the
exception of four miles and within less

the 46 miles of line between Cham
paign and Decatur will be begun and
near the close of the year the crews
will be shifted to the Galesburg line.
John E. Berry, McKinley's Peoria
representative gave out the following
statement regarding the new lines: 1T
has been a settled matter for several
months that the Peoria and Blooming
ton lines together with the Decatur
Champaign line would be built during
1906. Mr.. Mckinley has now fully de-
cided to construct the Galesburg lines
this year also will begin work on that
line as soon as the first two lines are
completed. which means long before
the end of this year.
|'The Galesburg line will certainly be
eventually extended to Rock Island
along a line which will miss Monmouth
and pass through Aledo. 1t was orig
inally intended to run the line direct
from Peoria to Rock Island but this

date of beginning work on the Rock
