RAILROAD NEWS.
New North and South Road Pro.
jected fer Kansas.
Will Form Connection Between
East and West Trunk Lines.
GOODLANDTOLIBERAL
Eight County Seats Will Have
Direct Communication.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

Tribune, Kan, Sept. 10.-Petitions
have been circulated among the citi-
zens of Sherman, Wallace, Greeley,
Hamilton, Stanton, Morton, Stevens
and Seward counties, asking the COM
missioners of each county to call a
special election for the purpose of
voting $4,000 per mile in bonds for
the proposed North & South railroad,
which is projected to enter the county
seats of this westernmost tier of Kan
sas counties. Should the bonds be
voted, it will be on condition that the
road must be built and in operation
before the counties actually take
stock in the railroad.
In it's north and-South course the
western end of Kansas, the road will
connect with four great east-and-west
systems. the Rock Island, Union Pa
cific, Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe,
thus answering hitherto unsupplied
need. As it is now, the western two
thirds of Kansas is practically with
transportation service, the Santa Fe's
north-and-south line being well east
of the center of the state.
Route of Proposed Road.
The railroad is to run from Good
land, Kan, to Liberal, Kan, passing
through and connecting eight county
seats, which includes Goodland, Shar-
on Springs, Tribune, Syracuse, john
son. City, Richf1eld, Hugoton and Lib
eral. This new railroad will connect
the Rock Island at Liberal at the
south side of the state with the main
line of the Rock Island at the north
side. Bonds have already been voted
in Sherman county and the road has
been surveyed from Goodland to the
north line of Greeley county. The
conditions of the bonds are such that
the railroad must enter and pass
through the corporate limits of the
town mentioned in each county.
More than half the legal voters
have signed the petitions, although
there is some opposition in the diff
ferent counties to the proposition.
The railroad is being financed by
Eastern people, and it has been in
corporated directly by Kansas men.
It is expected that the survey will be
within the next six weeks.
The right of way has nearly all been
secured in the two northern counties
by the company.

PROVIDE LOUNGING CARS.
Burlington Road Also to Install "Dr.
EIiot'S BoOkS.''

Chicago, Sept. 10.-The Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad has had con-
structed four novel coaches, termed
''lounging cars for use upon four of
its through trains, a particular feature
of which will be the installation in
each of a small library to include Doc
tor Eliot's five feet of books
The cars embody the idea of a loung-
ing room on 5heels and are intended
for the use of both men and women
passengers. One end of the car is de-
voted to a new style of observation
platform, entirely inclosed by glass
doors and windows The car is seventy
eight feet in length, a little longer than
the average coach, and so allows for
more conveniences in the interior. One
end is given up to a buffet smoking
room seating nineteen passengers. The
woman's parlor at the other end ac-
commodities twenty-five. At the cell
ter is the writing room, with desks,
library and a telephone for use at the
stations.
The new coaches will be put into ser
vice September II upon the four fast
through trains running between Chi
cago and Denver.

MANGLED BY A LION.
junction City Girl May Die From In
jurieS Received.

Junction City, Kan. Sept. TO-
Mrs. Harry Pickering of this city has
received a message from her mother,
Mrs. Kennedy, at Morgan Hill, Cal.
stating that her daughter. Miss Isola
Kennedy is not expected to live. and
to come at once.
Miss Kennedy for several years
made her home in this city. and af-
ter leaving here moved with her
mother to Morgan Hill. Cal. On the
4th of last July a number of Miss
Kennedy's friends and relatives
planned picnic up in the noun.
tains, where they spread their lunch
and prepared to enjoy the day. Miss
Kennedy and several children in the
party walked some distance from the
main party, and while thus separated
a large mountain lion sprang from
a tree and bounced upon Miss
Kennedy.
The children screamed and ran for
help and left the woman fighting
with the lion. For 20 minutes the
struggle between the girl and beast
continued. Upon the arrival of the
men in the party the lion was shot,
conscious and terribly mangled. At
ter overcoming the woman the
animal badly 1acerated her entire left
side with its teeth and claws.
Miss Kennedy was sent to her
home and her condition was such
that the chances were slight for her
recovery. The animal when killed
measured a trifie over nine feet in
length and was one of the largest
lions that had ever been killed in that
vicinity.

FOR A MITCHELL COUNTY FAIR.
Speciality Will Be Made of Farm Pro-
ducts and Fine Stock.

Beloit, Kan, Sept. 1o.-Present in
dications are that Mitchell county
will have the biggest fair in the his
tory of the county. The officers of
the association do not run to horse
racing, but they make a speciality of
stock and farm products. E. c. Lo-
gan is president, and w. S. Gabel, Sec
rotary.
A thorough canvass of the county
has been made, and the horse entries
already warrant an unusual large ex-
hibit. Mitchell county showed more
fine horses at its 1908 fair than any
fair held in the state. A mammoth
cattle barn is being erected as well as
a large addition to the horse barn.

Contracts Have Been Let for
Twenty-Eight Blocks.

The Council Now Has Many
More Petitions on File.
Eight Miles of Paving by the
Close Of Next Year.

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 10.-A mile and
three-quarters, or twenty-five blocks Of
paving are being put down in Emporia
this will be asphaltic concrete and nine
will be brick.
resolutions declaring that the street be
paved have been published for Market.
Mechanic and Neosho streets. All that
remains to be done to start the work on
these streets is that the council let the
contracts for them. This probably will
be done the first of next year, so that
the work can be done next summer.
Market street is to be paved from
Third to Twelfth, Mechanic from Sixth
to Twelfth, and Neosho from Sixth to
Twelfth.
Twenty-One Blocks for 1911.
The kind of paving to be put down
has not been determined. If the as
phaltic concrete to be laid on Exchange
adopted On one or more of the streets.
If those three streets are paved nexr
year it will make twenty blocks of paw
ing which is a block less than is being
done this year. That will give Emporia
ninety-three blocks, or nearly eight
miles, of paving.
Cross Streets to Be Paved.
The proposition to be looked after
now is for the property owners to pave
summer the principal streets will be
paved, with only one avenue. Twelfth
should be paved and one of the avenu IS
south of the track, and then the others
should be paved at the rate of one or
two a year. The avenues can be paved

LoNGED FOR HIS OLD HOME.
Homesickness Caused David Eberley
to Take His Own Life.

Abilene, Kan, Sept. 10.-David
Eberley, a farmer living in Cheever
township, about 8 miles north of Abb
lene, committed suicide by hanging
himself in the barn. He was aged
about As and leaves a wife and two
children.
While nothing definite is known of
the reason for his deed it is probably
inconsistencies. He came here from
Nebraska about two years ago and
bought the Jacob Butt farm. He took
good crop off of it and was doing
we'll but was in debt.
He also said frequently that he
wished he were back on his old place
in Nebraska. Three weeks ago he
sold the farm at an advance $1,000
and was to give possession next
March. Since then he has been more
discouraged than ever, worrying over
what next to do and this evidently
unbalanced his mind.

Cadet, IL years old, who is an orphan
boy and makes his home with the
Frank Cadet family east of Scottsville.
is lying at his home in a precarious
condition.
How the accident occurred the boy
has been unable to explain but it is
supposed that the team he was driving
ran away, dragging him by the reins in
the road, and that possibly one Of the
horses kicked him in the face, causing
a conclusion of the brain. He was cut
and bruised on the jaw and one tooth
was knocked out.
