HAS RAILROAD OF HIs OWN.
Indianian Built One to Have Transportation
for His Farm due

Col. B. G. Clifford is perhaps the only
man in the country who owns a railroad;
built chiefly for his own use, paid for with
his own private money and operated in
dependent Of the will OF any other a
living, says the Indianapolis Star. Col.
Chords road is known as the Southern
Wabash Valley. 1t is OF standard gauge
and a well constructed road. Its length at
the present time is about thirty-fve miles.
but it is Col. Gifford's intention to extend
the road In both directions as occasion de-
mands. The southern terminus Of the
Southern Wabash Valley is MoCoysburg.
about six miles east of the city Of Rens-
selaer, Ind.
Passengers who travel the entire length
of the Southern Wabash Valley will pass
through the following towns. McCoys-
burg, oil Field, Newland, Clifford, Laura;
Zadoo and Kersey-al) fourishing little
plaos., ranging in population from 100 to
go. Kersey. which is Col. Giford's post
Office address, is the n~orthernmost town
on the road, and is located at the crossing
of the Southern Wabash Valley and the
Chicago and Indiana Southern. This town
has a population of more than two hundred,
has q good school, a church, several stores,
and bids fair, in the course OF three or four
years, to become a trading point Of con-
siderable importance.
Col. Chords railroad is sometimes
fa%cetiously termed the Onion Belt Line"
because of the large annual shipments Of
onions from his farm in the northern part
OF Jasper County. These onions are raised
OF rich muck soil-very common in this
section Of the State-the crops frequently
yielding as much as 500 bushels to the acre,
Onions raised on this muck land are ex-
c~eptionally fine and invariably command
the best prices the market affords. 1t is
estimated that not less than 1oO, 900 bushels
Of onions were shipped from the Clifford
farm last season, and the crop this year
promises a much heavier yield.
Not only does Col. B. G. Clifford enjoy
the distinction Of being the only indi-
vidual owner of a railroad, but he ia also
one of the largest land owners in the State
Of Indiana. His farm in the northern part
OF Jasper county comprises IS 900 acres OF
found in the middle West. 1t annually
yields TO its owner an income Of more than
half a million dollars. The owner Of this
vast body Of land is what may properly
be termed a self-made man, beginning life,
as he did, with but a few dollars,
The Southern Wabash Valley Railroad;
while partaking Of the nature Of a public
enterprise, or will be so regarded when
completed, was constructed by Col. Clifford
portation for the products of his farm.
There is shipped annually from his big farm
from IL, 1000 to 5000 head Of fat cattle, from
1000 to 5000 head Of horses and mules,
5000 hogs and the many thousands Of BUSH
els OF grain raised by tenants. The crops
on the Clifford farm this season will consist
of 1000 acres of corn, the same number Of
acres of rye, 5000 acres Of oats, 1000 acres
OF meadow and about 25o acres Of onions.

VICTORY FOR GOV. CUMMINS

seems Likely In low Through Senator
Anlson's Taking q Hand in Fight.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, June s.-The hand Of
Senator W. B. Allison vas seen to-day for
le first time in the bitter campaign be-
tween Gov. A. B. Cummins, candidate for
te Republican nomination for a third term,
and George D. Perkins, editor of the Siouz
Civ Journal, and as a result Of what Allison
caused to be done to-day there seems now
10 doubt as to Cummins's triumph In the
State convention August /.
Fred kretschmer of Dubuque, Senator
Alison's home, was the Cummins candidate
Tor State Treasurer, and after a Cummins-
) Perkins fight carr led Dubuque county
le countv convention, controlled by
Curnmins men, simply authorized Kretsch-
ner to choose the county delegation to
us State convention, and adjourned.
Several We eks later Ed Hunter, Mr.
perkins's manager, wen to Washington
and Kretschmer left the State. After
their return Kretschmer astounded the
STATE by withdrawing as a candidate for
state Treasurer and naming a solid Perkins
! dele cation to the State convention, throw
lns twentv-eight votes from the Cummins
70 the Perkins column, 1t is the general
understanding that Secretary Shaw offered
Hfetschmer an appointment as national
ank examiner.
Senator Allison denied any participation
70 the deal and promptly asserted in an
interview that he should have preferred
70 divide Dubuque county equally be-
'1sen Perkins and Cummins.
To-day a signed statement was issued
y Dubuque's delegation saying that the
county would divide as Mr.. Allison sug-
gsSsted, and it was undoubtedly done at
Atlson's request. The race between Cum
Ii4s and Perkins was close, and the half

POLICEMAN SHOT HIMSELF.
Likely to Die-Wife Says He Complained
That the Heat Made Him Nervous.


Gottlieb Lund, a patrolman assigned TO
the Astoria station house, attempted to
kill himself last night at his home, 1888 East
SEVENTEEN street. He had to go IN duty
at midnight and his wife awakened him at
1880 o'clock. He odd her he would be
dressed In a few minutes and she left the
bedroom. She heard a pistol shot and ran
back to the room. Lund was OF the bed,
unconscious. He had shot himself in the
right side of the head, using the regulation
police revolver.
His wife couldn't understand why her
husband tried to commit suicide, except,
possibly, that he had become temporarily
deranged bv the heat. He complained
during the day, she said, that the heat made
him sick and nervous.
Lund wal taken to the Presbyterian
Hospital. he is in a serious condition.
The doctors didn't think there was much
chance Of his recovering. He was ap-
pointed to the force a year ago, and was
transferred from the East Sixty-seventh
street station house to Astoria. SO far as
the police Of the East Sixty-seventh street
station know there were no charges against
Lund.
