to Extend Through to
Tide water.

New York, Sept. 29.-The election
Of T. P. Shonts as president OF the
Minneapolis and st. Louis and the
Iowa Central railroads disclosed the
fact that the Colver Leaf-Alton COM
bination had purchased the two lines.
and it is understood that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and the Chicago, Gin
cinnati and Louisville roads also will
be acquired by the combination. 1t IS
understood that when the negotiations
for the purchase Of the latter roads
have been completed the Alton will be
extended into trunk line, reaching
tideWater. .&&t u.s.. ...
Edwin S. Hawley, who formerly con.
trolled the Iowa Central and the Min.
neapolis and st. Louis, was made
chairman of the boards, and F. H.
Davis, George H. Ross, Walter l.. Ross
and A. G. Doan were made vice pres1'
dents. The new vice presidents OF
the two roads have been elected, ef.
fective Oct. 2. They were also elect
ed vice presidents Of the Alton-Clover
Leaf roads, which leaves no doubt
that the management is to be joint
one. 2s. .~r
The acquisition of the Iowa Central
and the Minneapolis and st. Louis
roads let's the Alton into st. Paul, Des
Moines and Sioux City, and takes it
northwest to Lebeau, S. D. The Iowa
Central joins the Alton at Peoria.
Should the combination, therefore, buy
the line from Chicago to Cincinnati, it
would have a trunk line from the Twin
City and from Kansas City to tide
water at Newport News and Old Point
comfort. .-
1t was announced some time ago
that Edwin S. Hawley had purchased
the Chesapeake and Ohio, but with
what end in view was not disclosed.
With close traffic relations with the
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient road,
there is a possibility that the Alton,
which has always been distinctively a
local and interior road, may eventu-
ally become great trunk line extend
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans and from the Great Lakes to
the gulf.

Much In the Eead.

The meat of all animals is affected
by the food they eat. For instance.
the ducks that live on fish have a
fishy flavor. The flesh has disagree
able taste when fowls are fed on on
ions. When swine are fed on beech
nuts the bacon from the pigs has the
finest flavor, while hogs allowed to
feed on stinking, filthy slops and on
dead animals furnish food unfit for
human beings. There is no excuse for
not feeding the soundest, cleanest,
freshest food and giving fresh and
pure water. There is much in the
feed. 5s
