ANOTHER OBSTACLE
IN WAY OF THE ROAD
Aledo Stub Halted When Fancy
Prices Are Demanded for the Right
of Way.

Another obstacle stands in the way
of the Rock Island Southern building
its branch line to AledO from Aledo
junction. Not only have the Aledo
citizens apparently failed to raise
more than $4,000 of the 100000 de-
manded for the purchase of bonds,
but the owners of land along the pro-
posed stub are now asking fancy
prices for the right of way. One man
wants $4OO per acre and the officers
of the company say they will neither
pay It nor resort to condemnation
proceedings. They gave their ultima
tum to the people of Aledo yesterday
when Superintendent Mccullough and
NJ. A. Walsh paid a visit to the Mer
Ger county capital for the purpose.

The qualifications of the engineers
who have applied for the appointment
of consulting engineer for the proposed
filter plant were the subject before the
aldermen last evening in the commit
tee of the whole session of the city
council. The aldermen are undecided
as to the selection of an engineer, and
can not determine which of the several
applicants will give the most efficient
and valuable service for the city. The
codncil finally, after some little dis
cussion of the matter, instructed the
city clerk to write to some of the cit
les mentioned in the propositions of
the engineers, with a view to learning
what results were obtained at these
places. All of the engineers have ex-
cellent recommendations, and it is pos
sible that any one of them would give
satisfaction. There is no great differ
ence i'll the propositions they make

Mr.. Henry collects the delinquent wa

in their construction work. He is
paid by the day, and it has been claim
ed that his services in looking after
the collections for water used in build

much more in revenue than his com
pensation amounts to. The members
of the COUNCIL, on the whole, are of the
opinion that other city officers who
might be given this work have about
all that can be expected of them un

to the waterworks committee.

Ely Townsite Co., until he returned
to New York to conquer new fields,
and, incidentally, triumphed, yester-
day received a rush telegram from
the big town asking how best to pro-
coed with the gentlemen when la
boring under extreme enthusiasm.
The reply, advising that the Powers
be Immediately assembled in confer
ence at The Hague, had hardly been
sent when a thousand-word tele-
gram came along from Mr.. Arm
strong personally, bringing explana-
ton of the situation in announce
ment that he worried no longer
over the matter of an heir, or any
thing else; that the world was round
and rosy and that the son of the
house of Armstrong was a rip-roarin-
observation-disclosures fine spec
linen of young manhood, while Dad
could carry the whole of little New
York in one pocket and not mind it
much; that the Ely-Goldfield railroad
was already built, that the world was

ter said howdy to the Ely district and
reported his mother doing fine. And
there might have been much more,
but sufficient has Deen given to pro-
vide inkling of the joy which reigned

PEAL VICTIMS.

The Peales of the Peale addition
are still scattering lemon peels in st.
Louis. Apparently, the beer OF st.
Louis is not the only good thing of
which the city boasts. The Peales
found another good thing in the per-
son of H. w. Sturgis, to whom they
entrusted the guardianship of ten
lots, they becoming his bankers to
the extent of $1,000. The Peales have
been shedding those sagebrush lots
with a persistency worthy of a bet

come in a body the steam shovel pit

Ely and East Ely will turn out

spirit in it that will conform re-
specially with the big noises which
will happen on many famous fields
throughout the country during the
