We understand that there are now
two crews of surveyors and civil engi-
neers at work locating and making
the permanent survey of the route
the new Bismarck, Bellevue Valley
and Western R. R. will follow from
Bismarck to Bunker. 1t is the gener-
al belief of those who are in a position
to know, that this road will be pushed
rapidly to completionin good time
Reynolds Outlook.
It has been rumored in railroad
circles that trains No. 25 and 26 will
be put back on the road. No. %
southbound would arrive here about
6 O'Clock in the evening, and No. rs
northbound about $3.50 in the morning.
These trains would be gladly welcom-
ed by the travelling public. 1t would
be a great accommodation for people
of this city who would want to spend
several hours north of here.-Bis-

Sheriff Blue made a trip to st. Louis
last week and took in custody John
Cooley, colored. Attic April term of
circuit court John pleaded guilty to
the charge of crap shooting and was
assessed fine and costs amounting to
$38.40. Not having the cash
ry to liquidate, he was released in or
der to give him an opportunity to earn
the money and pay out. But just as
soon as he was liberated he"skipped,o
nor was he located until last week.
When arrested Cooley had 1914 on his
person, which was applied to the pay
| ment of his fine and costs. He will
serve a term in jail to liquidate the re-
mainder. Going to jail didn't worry
John one bit, but he did hate to turn
loose the 1924.
The heaviest passenger train ever
run on the Iron Mountain railroad
passed through here Sunday after
noon as No. 8. 1t broke all records
and, not only that, it exceeded the
fondest expectations of officials re-
garding the pulling power of the new
"2500" class engine. The big mogul
dragged the heavy coaches and Pull
mans from st. Louis without assist
ance anywhere. 1t walked right over
the hills, climbing them without a
snort or hard breath, travelling along
as easily and smoothly as though pull
ing a baby buggy. Fourteen cars was
believed to be the engines capacity
before this feat. But now, it is stated
officials are just lying back, having
quit guessing, and await further won
derful stunts.-Poplar Bluff Republi

There have been several cases of
diphtheria reported during the past
two or three weeks and severa,
fatalities. The seven-year- old child
of Jos. Davis, colored, died last week
but we are told that while it had hat
diphtheria, the quarantine had beer
lifted and that some affection of the
kidneys was the cause of it's death. Or
the 18th the four-year-old child O
VIM. Harris died of the dreaded dis
ease. 1t was sick only a short time
The body of the little one was taker
to Coldwater for interment. The two
year-old baby boy of Samuel Clouser
near Little Vine on Greek Nation
was, as far as we have been able tt
learn, the last child to die of the dis
ease. A good many exaggerated re
ports are going around, but we have
it from the health authorities tina
there have been no new cases lately
