Cincinnati where old acquaintance
was resumed and old times lived over.

tation from the latter for visit to the
old haunts.

Zellner is easily seen if one should
meet this CHEEKY natured former Of

vance Ottumwa has made in various
directions that are lost sight of by the
permanent resident, who overlooks
many changes that the city makes.
! The size of the city as compared to
three decades ago is appreciated by
Mr.. Zellner, who has only praise for
the progressiveism of the city. He
states that but a few Of the very
oldest landmarks seem familiar to him,
and even those where they have been
left standing, have undergone various
changes that alter their appearance
from that of the period when he made

MING LINE TO STONE QUAR-.
RIES-MILTON FAVORED.

Keosauqua, May 15.-John S. Moore
Of Keokuk was here and had with him
a blue print showing the Quarries and
the proposed lines leading thereto. One
leads to Milton, one to Cantril and the
other to Keosauqua, but the Milton
line can be built for some $4,000 less
money, owing to the fact that the Pitts
burg bridge cannot be used for trans.
portation purposes, as 1t Is not situated
right to be feasible. s r.
The Kilbourne line is out of all
reason, said Mr.. Moore, the expense
being greater than of any other. The
Milton line is about the same distance
as that to Cantril, and both promise
long and expensive trestle, with pos
sible flood damage, but the first cost
Of the construction is cheaper than
to this city owing to the fact that a
new bridge will have to be built,
EIectrIfy the Road.
It is stated on the best of authority
that an electrical transmission line
from the big dam up the Des Moines
valley to Ottumwa is contemplated,
and that canvassers will be put in the
field within short time to ascertain
how much power can be disposed of.
Power would be furnished for the rail-
road line to the quarry and also for
use at the quarry. It Is about certain
that the towns would also use this
power for lighting.
Superintendent Naugle Is working
small force of men in preparation
of the opening of the quarry. Within
the next few weeks a $4,000 derrick
will be erected. Unless labor is more
plentiful here than it appears to be
at present a force of dozen men will
be sent up from Keokuk.
