Interurban Again Promised.

News concerning the proposed inter-
urban line comes to the public with be-
coming regularity and it makes an excel
lent topic for freside discussion these
long winter evenings. The latest ap-
pears in the Gazette of Thursday in
promise that something will be doing
shortly:
Chief Engineer Joseph Ellis of the.
Cincinnati Construction company that
is planning to build an interurban be-
tween this city and Madison, has begun
his second survey between this city and
Madison anS is already several miles up
the river vii 3 his crew. The work will
be completed before the snow flies, and
according to Mr.. Ellis, work on the plans
and specifications will be started shortly
to comply with the requirements of the
state railway commission when they
make their application for franchise.
Ell. Zlgler, president of the company, ex-
pected here from Cincinnati the latter
part of this week and will proceed to
Madison to confer with the committee
of the Forty Thousand CLUB of that city
who have taken up the entrance into the
Capital City as their share.of promoting
the road. 1t is probable that arrange
ments will be made to enter over the
line of the Montgomery roads, and this
will do away with any serious objections
that might be raised for entering the city.
1t is expected nov that the franchise
will be granted and the work OF con-
struction started in 1909.
In an interview given out at Madison,
Mr. Iirlnr couC. stThn nrnupd hQG bG0n
gone over carefully and unless the unex-
pected and unlocked for happens, the
proposed interurban between Madison
and GAINESVILLE will surely be in opera
ton by next fall. The actual work of
construction goes along rapidly. The
delay in building interurban lines comes
in securing the necessary franchises,
surveying the routes and IN doing other
work Of this nature. We have secured
practically of the necessary franchises,
and six different routes have been sur
veyed We intend to bring the line in
on the west side of the city, touching on
thefwest shores of Lakes Kegonsa, Wau-
besa and Monona. This is an excellent
field for an interurban. 1t will open up
a country, some Of which is practically
isolated. The interurban will bring
business and a healthy growth along all
lines, just as it has In other cities OF this
size It will be an easy line to build, as
there are no grades between Madison
and GAINESVILLE. We are now establish
ing the levels and the grades"

Death Of a Veteran Horseman.

David johnson, one of the pioneer
race horse men of this state, died at his
home in Jefferson, Nov. IL, at the age OF
70 years. Mr.. johnson was born in Eng
land but came to the United States
when eighteen years of age. In 1863 he
went to Jefferson and engaged in the
milling business as proprietor of the
Jefferson Flour Milling company. He
became interested in fast horses and was
at one time the owner of a string of ex-
cellent horses and he became known as
one of the most daring drivers in the
west. Probably the most famous horse
that he ever owned was the PAGER Doc
Lewis, with which he won 80 firsts and
then sold it to William Vanderbilt for
$4,000. Mr.. Johnson withdrew from
active participation in racing about ID
years ago, although he has been con-
nected with the speed department of the
Jefferson county fair throughout the
most of that time. Mr.. Johnson's nine

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.

New York, Sept 22.-The disorder

change to-day during the demoralized
break In prices was not greater than

however, for weeks past, and also
general agreement as to the RESPONSE
bility Of groups of powerful capital
lists for the advance. The sensational
collapse which prices have undergone
has not altered the conviction as to
the source OF the operations which
advanced them previously but the
motives which prompt the abandon
ment of the previous position offer a
subject for the most divergent opin-
ion. When 1t IL considered that the
purpose attributed to the movement
to advance prices was to help restore
confidence, with q view to stimulating
business revival and further the in
tended 6otation of new capital issues
the question arises whether than pur-
pose has been abandoned or regarded
as futile, That the bitterness Of the
revived agitation against the corpo-
rations has proved shock to a feel

amongst groups of very wealthy cap
talisis. Is an Interpretation of the
present market decline much heard.
The prolonged rise In prices was ac-
companied by public expressions on
the part Of prominent financiers that
public sentiment towards corporations
was changing and that the hostility
