NYERURBANLINE MAY
BUILD IN MISSOURI

-
The farmers along the survey of the
old st. Louis and Sioux City railroad
have made q tempting offer to railroad
companies with a view to getting an
electric road through from st. Charles
to Vandalia, Mo. II the offer is ac-
cepted by any road, a long-needed
route will be completed for the trans
portation OF passengers between these
towns, as well as a heavy freight SER
vice. The farmers state In their offer
that they will give 81 an acre on all
lands lying within a few miles OF the
proposed line to the amount Of $500
per mile, and give as a bonus, the
right Of way to any company that will
build the line.
The distance between st. Charles
and Vandalia Is a little over 100 miles,
and the offer Of $500 per mile would
give a company a working capital OF
approximately $4,000.
The route as surveyed by the old
company, and which will be closely
followed by an electric road, takes a
northwestern direction from ST,
Charles and goes through many Of the
best towns in northeast Missouri.
Vandalia, a proposed terminus, is
situated In the northeastern corner of
Audrain county. 1t is also proposed
to extend the line to Mexico, which
would put the towns reached by the
electric road In direct connection
with the Wabash railroad at Mexico,
and the Chicago and Atoms st. Louis
Kansas City line at Mexico, and the
Chicago and Alton Chicago line at
Yandalia, thereby giving that terri
tory a freight service direct to the
west and northeast, and doing away
with the present slow roundabout
method.

Physicians Reason Lost In Accident
Permanently Restored.

Or. Bernard Hollander, we'll
known London physician, describes a
remarkable cure of insanity by oper.
alton His patient, doctor, received
a kick from horse on the right Of
the chin, followed a year later by a
heavy fall from bicycle on the right
side Of his head. Soon the doctors
character changed completely. He
suffered severely from headache and
neuralgic pains. which incapacitated
him from work. He became emo
tional, irritable vSry profane, and de-
velopea snic,dai tendencies. His
strange coasgcp frequently led him
into diihcLlties. After suffering for
seven years and trying all possible
medical treatment. he consulted DR.
Hollander, who. believing the seat
of the disease to be in circumscrib-
ed part Of the brain, advised opera
ton. On trephining, a morbid condi-
tion OF the skull in this region was
discovered. and an excess of cerebro-
spinal Euid, which had prevented the
brain from pulsating. Three weeks
after the operation the patient was
well, and has remained in perfect
mental and physical health ever
since.

When Rubber arowa Hot.

When an automobile is running at
high speed the rubber tires are rap
idly warmed and the heat sometimes
becomes very great. with resultant
injury to the rubber. The cause of
this accumulation of heat in the tire
is ascribed to the kneading of the rub
ber. which generates heat faster than
It can be radiated away. For this
reason manufacturers have found 4
to be an advantage to have metal
parts in the tread, such lis the ends
OF rivets, in contact with the tire,
because the metal, being good radi-
ator helps to carry OF the heat
