Just where the trouble is, or al
what point has not yet been deter
mined, but railroad men Of the city
have arrived at conclusion that
looks feasible. The service last week
was reported to be weak but since
then fair time has been made.
Tie outcome in view at the pres
ent time is as follows: Either the
Burlington will handle the business
the entire distance from Springfield
and the coal miners near there, or the
shipments of coal will revert back
to the Wabash and that line will
handle 1t as formerly.
Whether the Wabash will let the
business slip from their grasp by con.
tinuing to disagree with the Keokuk
and Hamilton Bridge Co., is matter
to be decided in not many days and
railroad men have taken up the talk
with considerable interest
According to information at hand
the cereal works was almost to close
down last week fe- a short time on
account of the delay of the shipment
of this coal 1t is said that one bill
shows the time intervening between
the original billing and the receiving
eight days. The last billing was on
the 18th and was received in Keokuk
on the Goth.

The service as conducted by the
combined efforts of the Wabash and
Burlington in taking care of this bust
ness, which is confined entirely to
coal. is reported as being somewhat
unsatisfactory. Firms in the city
which receive the bulk of the coal
from Springfield claim that the ship
ments are received here long after
the original date of billing and that
the cars are delayed somewhere along
the route.

 Building Committee Confers.
 At 1:30 yesterday afternoon there was a meeting of the building com mittee, at which there was a careful study and discussion of the plans. A sub committee was appointed to ex- anime and verify all the location" subscriptions to the Y. NJ. C. A, by which Is meant those subscriptions rendered in furtherance of the move ment for offering the building lot for the federal building to the government at an attractive price. Other sub committees were assigned to the work Of listing and analysing all the unpaid subscriptions to the regular building fund, to determine if any cannot be collected and how to best proceed for securing those that are accounted good. The result of yesterdays work along this line was most encouraging and the committee announces that It does not consider only a very small part of the subscriptions as uncollect- able, and altogether the prospects for the building are taking on a brighter appearance than for months past.

 Dear Mrs. Powers:-
 You will no doubt be somewhat surprised to receive a letter from me but I feel it my Christian duty to write you in behalf of your good hus- band; for if there ever was a good, pure and true devoted husband he is one. He has exercised such care in all such matters and has even gone so far as to tell the janitor not to let any lady into his study unless he come with her.
 This is not this woman's first case. She has drawn several ministers into

her net but MT. Powers is the first man who has had the nerve to have her arrested. As far as the stick pin is concerned; she was showing a wholesale catalog to him and he said to her, sometime when you are shopping for yourself you may pick out one for me and I will pay you (which was the only foolish thing he did)
 No one knows l am writing this letter, but I feel I owe it to Bro. Powers and yourself. Yours in Christian love"
 Rev. Mir Powers is expected in Phoenix within a week.
