Central System.
General Manager Rawn Says the "Cut
OF" Is No Longer Contemplated
by Road.
HERE IN HIS PRIVATE CAR

]. G. Rawn, general manager Of the
Illinois Central railroad, in an inter-
view with representative of The
Sun, said:
"Paducah is too important ever to
be put on a sldetrack of the Illinois
Central railroad"
Mr.. Rawn made that answer to the
inquiry whether the cutoff would be
built from Gilbertsvllle to Mayfleld.
virtually placing Paducah on a side
track.
The interview was had In General
Manager Rawn's private car at the
union passenger station this morning.
The questions and answers were as
follows:
Eve are very much interested. Mr..
Rawn in the suggested cutoff from
Gilbertsville to Mayheld. which virtu-
ally would place Paducah on side
track. VIII you make a statement
for the railroad?
"There is nothing being done now
in the matter" said Mr.. Rawn.
''Am | to infer that you mean Padu
cab will always have as efficient serv-
ice as at present, from the Illinois
Central?
"Paducah is too important ever 10
be put on a sidetrack of the Illinois
Central railroad. We appreciate the
business we get out of the city and II
Is too important to be sidetracked.
There was some consideration a
while back of building "A cut-off from
Gilbertsville to Mayfeld, but that is
not being considered now. Even II
the cutoff should be built, 1t would
not effect our service to Paducah, but
there Is nothing being done In that
mater at all.
Are there any changes and inn
provements proposed in the system
that would interest Paducah?"
we practically are through with
our years work and it has been a
very successful one for us. OF
course, the southern storm damaged
us some, but It is normal there now"

car also was in the train. Mr.. Nc

leaders Of both armies. Perhas no CON-

Grant and General Lee Both were kept

and men alike, were reduced to unpleas-

Union headquarters went. under a flag
of truce, with communication to Gen

smile, after delivering his message.
General Grant sends you his personal

that he knows exactly what you had
for breakfast this morning
General Grant must be misinformed

The Cancels Bite a Had Feature of

The camel Is dangerous animal to

Camel are not all the patient. quiet

They have very nasty tempers. A car
AVIAN, crossing the desert, is always
noisy; the loud and angry snarls of the
camels make the waste places resoand.
A camel's bite is serious matter.
The strong teeth lock in the wound,
and a circular motion Is given to the
jaw, around and then back, before the
teeth are withdrawn again. The wound
is horrible one. There are few camel
drivers without camel scars.
