A telegram from Paris says:
The Burlington is about to close
the gap between its Iowa line at
Macon and the st. Louis line at
Mexico. The survey was made by
the John w. Gates syndicate two
years ago and construction had
proceeded to a point a few miles
north of Macon when the Burling-
ton ended operations by buying
the line. The closing of the short
gap between Macon and Mexico
will give the system a direct line
from Centeryille, Ia, to st. Louis,
tapping the extensive coal fields in
Macon and Adair counties.

moth barn with it's finished hard
wood stalls, in which the champion
stabbed his fayorite steeds.
In the early day this farm was
the home of nearly every sort of
wild animal, and iu one section of
the barn the tiers Of cages are
still standing.
Dozens of bareback riders, some
still in the arena, received their
training here. The original owner
Of the place was the first to turn a
backward somersault from the
back of a galloping horse, and in
recognition of his championship
received a diamond ring from
Queen Victoria, and later, in the
early sixties, the citizens of Ha-
wanna, Cuba, gave him a diamond
belt.
The farm, prior to the last sale
was the property Of J. r.. john.
son, of this county, who parted
with it for 100000.
