The Electric.Line

Recently the Fayette Commercial
Club gave a banquet in honor of
the st, Louis-Kansas City electric
road promoters. d. c. Nevins
president OF the company which is
promoting the road, in a speech be
fore the club had the following to
say:
"Fayette citizens want to know
first of all whether or not the road
lis coming; not whether the road
will; pass through Fayette. 1
shall be very frank with you. We
did not come out here without hav
ing planned the process thorough
ly and without sufficient backing
to be a guarantee. You ask the
question, "Will the road be built
and within three years. Evidence
Of its surety will be present in one
years time. We have done thus
far as much as anybody could do
even with the best of aid since
time of beginning. Furthermore we
know that we have the capital with
which to make this road a certain
ty. We will not build the road
upon our own capital alone, but
as all railroads I built, we OF
course will float bonds. You ex-
pect us to do that.
AS to the location Of this road,
that is not exactly settled, We do
not know where we will crosS the
river. We want the business OF
Boone and Howard counties and ex
pect to cross somewhere between
Boonville and Glasgow. Where We
cross will be decided by a series
of surveys. You may depend up
on it that we will put ourselves
in close connection with the coal
fields in the environs of Harris
burg."-Boonville Republican.

Corrected Feb 18th, by Swift &
Confirms Life on Mars.

Chicago, Feb. ia new canal on
Mars 1900 miles in length has been
discovered by Prof. Percival Low
ell of the Flagstaff Observatory,
Ariz., and this is evidence, accord
ing to the astronomer, that the
planet is inhabited. The announce
ment OF the discovery vas made
today to Prof. S. W. Burnham of
the Yerkes Observatory. Prof. Lo-
well spent a few hours in Chicago.
He is on his way west.
Not only did Prof. Lowell see the
new canal, but he photographed it.
Previous photographs of this re-
gion, made as late as last May,
failed to show any trace of the
new canal. The fact that it devel-
oped between May and September
when it was first observed, Prof.
Lowell regarded as positive proof
that it was artificial, and, there
fore that living beings exist or the
neighbor planet.
SProf. Lowell's discovery is OF
the utmost Importance said Prof,
Burnham. at seems to be the
strongest confirmation yet obtain
ed OF the belief that there are liv-
ing intelligent beings on Mars. 1t
is bound to cause a stir in the
world of astronomy. Prof. Lowells
observations, covering I fteen years
or more, have done much to reveal
conditions on Mars. But this
seems to be the most striking OF
his discoveries.
"Prof. Lowell's theory that the
marking on the planet are canals
and that these canals are the work
, OF living beings is the only one
that fits all the known facts. Those
who doubt Pro. Lowelrs conclus-
ions have been unable to assail
them with any degree of success
Prof. Lowell is to be congratu,a e.
on his discovery"

INVENTOR OF ICE CREAM
Once Famous Lady Of the White
House Deserves Monument for
Devising Delicaey.

Dolly Madison was famous for
her beauty, grace and social charm,
but she has never been given due
credit for her greatest achievement
the invention of ice cream. For
the chroniclers tell us that she was
the first to serve this national deli
vacy. The wife of the president
must have been a wonderful woman,
gifted in everything from diplomacy
to cooking.
The men have long suspected that
some woman invented both ice ream
and matrimony, for men for genera
tions have been inveigled into both.
Let a boy and a girl go out walking,
just anywhere, and suddenly the boy
will find himself face to face with a
soda fountain or an ice cream par
lor. It's just like a man who starts
along counting aimlessly who sud-
denly finds himself engaged. He
doesn't understand just how it hap
pened. But he usually marches up
bravely and finds that he enjoys
both matrimony and ice cream.
If every girl who eats a saucer of
ice cream or a ''sundae' would put a
penny in the plate to erect a monu-
ment to the inventress of ice cream,
they could build a tower so tall that
it would make the Washington
monument look like a fence post.
While it was Dolly Madison who
first made ice cream, they tell us it
was the wife of a young naval Off
Ger, Nancy Johnson, who invented
the ice cream freezer. She deserves
as much credit as the presidents
wife. They were nj in achieve
ment they should be one in fame
and immortality.

"a great deal of trouble which
arises out of children riding on rail
road trains without tickets, is due
to negligence on the part OF the
ticket agents." said a travelling man
at one of the hotels the other day.
"An agent will sell a ticket to a
woman (and see a child with her,
but will not offer to sell a ticketfor
it. The woman gets on the train
expecting the conductor to recog-
nize the child's age as under five"
The man related this incident
which occurred on a Sedalia to St.
Louis train not long ago. A woman
and her son boarded a train at Sc
dalia. When the conductor came
he said: MADAM, have you trans
%portation for the boy?" NO, in
deed she said, he has not passed
the age limit. 1t is getting so a
person must carry a birth certifi-
cate for a child nowadays
" Pardon me, that will be alright
this time the conductor smiled,
'but take my advice and have him
shaved before he rides again.
