IN PRAISE OF THE COUNTRY.
Residence There Has Many Advan.
tases of Which City DweIler
Knows Nothing.

There are hardships in the country:
struggles are necessary to wrest live
hhood from the soil or from business
In a small community. But every
stroke can be made to count for per.
manence, comments the Columbia
State. The food and the air are bet
ter; mans independence is more real,
where he can own the roof that shell
tiers him and the ground upon which
he can grow his provisions. Every
COW or horse added to his holdings is
an increase of his capital. Little by
little, year by year, he can, with indus
try and good judgment, increase his
store of worldly goods and give to
his children a tangible inheritance,
foothold in their own land, an anchor
age from which the shifting tides of
trade cannot dislodge them. And while
such family is living its own life,
solving its own problems, it may en-
joy the same literary and artistic
pleasures, and the same general ad-
vantages that the city family has.

Decline of a PLAYER.

When their foot slips, they go down
IN hurry. In the latest official bull
letin of the National association, an
nouncement is made that John Eu.
banks, as late as 1907 member OF
the Detroit Tigers, has been released
Internationally by Grand Rapids. Eu-
banks went from Detroit to Indian
apolis, and from that city to the Rap
ids. Now it looks like Servia, Ind,
and the old family home for the
former Detroit twirler. At one time
he threatened to develop into a good
minor league first sacker, but he lost
his batting eye after he got into fast
company, and never recovered 1t.

WABASH RY. MAY
ENTER TWIN CITIES
LIKELY TO GET ANOTHER LINE
TO ST. LOUIS.
Railway Said to Be Seeking to Acquire
ST. Paul &. Des Moines Coun-
ter Move of Proposed

Minneapolis, May 1.-THE Twin
Cities may get another railroad which
will offer another direct connection
with st. Louis, according to reports in
railroads circles. The Wabash is cred.
tied with seeking to acquire the st.
Paul & Des Moines, building here from
the northern terminus of the latter an
extension which would involve the
construction of about 140 miles OF
track.
The St. Paul & Des Moines is 121
miles long and runs from Des Moines
to Mason City. 1t was built by w. A.
Bradford, former president of the Wis
consin Central, and George B. Fer
maid, another eastern capitalist, solely
as speculation, it is said, to be Of
fered to any railroad which might see
fit to take or leave it. 1t has been in
operation for about year.
For some time the st. Paul road has
been operating a parlor car on it,
which started rumor that the st.
for the purpose of invading Kansas
City. With this link, the st. Paul road
would only have to build short line
south of Des Moines to get into Kan
sas City. But not much credence is
placed in this report. With a Pacific
coast extension under way it is not
regarded as likely that it is seeking
to invade any other territory at pres
ent, although it may be forced to turn
it's attention to the South later.
The Wabash is said to be seeking
an entrance into the Twin Cities in
retaliation for a move said to be con-
templated by the Hawley interests.
Mr.. Hawley is reported to be consid-
ering the establishment of through SER
vice from Old Point Comfort to st.
Louis over the Chesapeake & Ohio,
and Glover Leaf route, which he con-
trolls, this making a formidable COM
bination for the Wabash to compete
against.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis and the
Illinois Central, which are also Haw-
ley lines, at present get into ST. Louis
by running on the Wabash from Abba,
Iowa. Should the Wabash obtain the
ST. Paul & Des Moines and build an
extension from Mason City, it is be-.
lieved it would accomplish a counter
move which the Hawley interests
would feel for carrying through its Old
Point Comfort-St. Louis project.
