This office is in receipt of an, il
Illustrated pamphlet issued by the Unto
Pacific on " Railroad Signalling"
1t is handsomely printed pamphlet
giving a full account of the block
system and safety of the present
railroad facilities for signalling
trains. The interlooking signals are
some of the safest methods of pre-
venting collisions and wrecks now
known to railroading. We are thank
full for this remembrance, as the pam
phlet is not only instructive but val
liable information for anyone to be
conversant with.

Supt., of Schools for Adams County
was in the city Monday and Tuesday
on business connected with the Wood

H. Jackson. We understand he was
here securing information in the Cou
ty Training School work. He says
the people in Adams County are very
much encouraged and pleased with
the fact that the Chicago and North
Western Ry. Co., are going to build
a line of railroad across their coun-
ty from East to West, connecting
with their present line at Necedah.
This is pleasant news to the residents
of Adams County.
