RAILROAD NOTES.

Yoakun to Build.

Two railroad transactions, just COM
pleted have disclosed the fact that the
B. r. Yoekum syndicate is planning a
great new through short line between
the great lakes and the City Of Mexico
and a new system of roads that will
connect Denver with the gulf, and also
place the gulf territory in touch with
the Orient through the North Pacific
products of the west, northwest and
southwest through the gulf ports.
Mr.. Yoakum's plan has to do with
the development of the great south
west, and is the most comprehensive
scheme of railway construction in
years. Although not connected direct.
ly with the Rock Island and the Frisco
system, the two play an important
part, as all of the lines now construct
ed and in contemplation will connect
with both systems, thereby making
new through lines both to the guilt
ports and to the City of Mexico.
| The two railroad events which have
disclosed the magnitude of the Yoa
KUN plans are the negotiations for the
purchase by the Yoakum syndicate OF
the Colorado and Southern and the
purchase by the National lines of Mex
leo of the Hidalgo and Northeastern
The former extends from Fort Collins
Colo, southeasterly through Denver tc
Fort Worth in connection with the
Fort Worth and Denver road The lat
! ter runs from the City of Mexico north
and east to Pachuca, sixty-nine miles
The Hidalgo line was purchased re
Gently by the National lines Of Mexi
co, and will be extended by the Ma
. tional railroad of Mexico to Tuxpan
on the coast in the state Of Vera Cruz
and from thence on along the gull
coast to Tampico and Matamoros OF
the Mexican side of the Rio Grande
At this point a bridge will replace the
Anticipated ferry between Matamoro.
and Brownsville, Texas. The bridge
\ will be constructed by Mr.. Yoakum'.

kEOSAUQUA.

Keosauqua, April 13.-In the case OF
James A. Davis, of Bonaparte, VS.. the
town of Bonaparte, Robert Cresap and
J. N. McDavitt, yesterday afternoon,
Judge f. w. Eichelberger at the close
of the plaintiffs evidence directed
the jury to return a verdict against
the plaintiff for want of evidence to
sustain his claims. This was a per-
sonal injury case to recover damages
by the plaintiff from said defendants
for an injury received by the plain
tiff by falling into a cellarway at Bon
aparte last December. The effect of
the holding Of the court was that the
injury occurred on private property
and that the place where the same
occurred was not street with
in the meaning of the law and that
the plaintiff was a tresspasser and
was at the place where the injury oc-
Cured without right. The amount OF
plaintiffs claim was $1,000. Mr.. Davis
received broken ankle from the in
jury and still walks with crutches
This was a holly contested case and
there were several able lawyers N the
case.

3 SENATOR
seoeoeeessee

Washington, D. c., April 11.-(spe-
ctal) "A couple Of weeks since in the
course Of an editorial concerning Sen
ator Allison in which the writer ex.
hibited most woeful and utter lack
of knowledge of the subject he under
took to discuss, the following state
ment was made:
"Mr. Allison is past that vigorous
age when men try to do things"
1t will be noted that this statement
is unequivocal and specific. lacking
even the usual qualifying words, pos
sibly' or perhaps" or ut Is under
stood" This being the case it would
seem Improbable and unnecessary to

FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING.

Some of the features Senator Allison
desired to get out were left in but
when it passed it was good bill. The
senate through Mr.sAllison had done
something that day.
Your correspondent Is perfectly
aware that the people Of Iowa know
what Senator Allison has done; of his
unapproachable record In the United
States senate, from any point of view
that is creditable; and that he needs
no defense from any quarter. The
f1ippant remark Of this sage country
editor, calmly writing 1900 miles from
Washington, that Senator Allison Is
past that vigorous age when men try
to do things" seemed, however, to
present an opportunity to throw sin
gle ray of light on the subject.
Senator Allison does more things
than any other man in the senate and
when they are done they are done
right, too. This difference between
Senator Allison and other men who
might be mentioned is that he does
not employ brass band or press
agent to exploit him. He has "done'
things so long that it has got to be a
habit with him. He has not made a
speech on the rate question but wheth-
er he does or not he will probably
have as much to do with the making
of an effective law as any other sena-
tor. Rhetoric is not an effective pro
Queer Of laws. When argument and
eloquence and patience have all been
! exhausted Senator Allison will prob
ably be asked to suggest way out of
the rate muddle, and he will 'do' it.
