eryoae who reads viii agree. The

would have been taken as a personal
insult by every partisan of any tick

one had better write OF poetry than
OF politics.
Perhaps the best topic of all just
now is the weather These beautiful,
languid spring days of the last week
nave brought nature so near to every
heart, and as the lawns have grown
green and the trees bloomed in cat
kins or buds, life has taken on its
spring meaning, hopes have had a
resurrection and the tide of purpose
runs high.
Such a spring the oldest inhabitant

the April flowers are blooming in the

Mr.. Andrews takes up the proposed
lines under the head of extension
north of the Iowa and Missouri Frac-
ton and Power Company's railroad"
The report covers in a general way
the nature of the conditions expert
enced over the proposed line.
The line from Memphis, Missouri,
to Fairfield, a distance of 52.5 miles,
has been financed and the building is
assured, the lines mentioned in the
report constituting the north extern
sion. From Fairfield the line runs
north by east to Brighton and north
west to Keota and Millersburg. Here

thence northwest to rhornburg and
north to Marengo and
thence northeast again to Cedar Rap
ids. The length of the line between
Oskaloosa and MillerSburg is lorty-one
miles. The estimated cost of the ex-
tension, including the Oskaloosa divis-
ion, equipped and ready for operation,
is noted as $24,SOOOO per mile.
1t is likely that a proposition will
be made to the towns along the pro-
posed line following the report made
by Mr. Andrews to the company inter
ested in the extension and the propo-
sition will be made to Oskaloosa PEG.
pie in the due course of time. Just
what the propositio~ will be is not
definitely known, but it will be some
thing like three thousand dollars per
mile and the right-of-way. With this
condition met Mr.. Andrews believes
that the proposed line would be one
worthy the attention of investors.

both the business and residential Sec
lions of Newberry, a town of 5000
population, 80 miles southeast of
here, and caused a loss that may
reach half a million dollars. Approx.
imately half hundred residences
were destroyed and a score of bust
ness houses in the heart of the town
are in ruins.
The conflagration started in the
rear of the Newberry hotel at 1870
o'clock in the morning. A gale was
blowing and the flames spread with
great rapidity. The citizens became
alarmed and appeals for assistance
were telegraphed TO Columbia and to
this city, but engines could not be
sent into Newberry on account of the
destruction Of the railroad tracks.
The Newberry fire department exert
ed every effort to check the flames,
but the fire was beyond control. Two
hours after the fire broke out the en-
tire city water supply was exhausted
and the town was left practically at
the mercy of the flames.
