Railroad Turns Storekeeper.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 18. Western
railroads will watch with keen
interest the results of the exper-
iment about to be made by the
Chicago and Great Western Rail
road of converting its small
town stations into general stores.
The object of the plan, according
to statements made by the Off
Gals of the Great Western, is to
increase the business of the rail
road town where at present
there is perhaps only one general
store, or none at all, and to pro-
vide more occupation for the sta
ton agents and at the same time
to give the plan a practical test
to increase their incomes. In or
der to give the plan a practical
test the road has installed stocks
of general merchandise in its sta
tions in several small towns
along it's line in the Bee Creek
Valley of Missouri. In support
of the idea it is argued that it
will assist in the general develop
ment of the towns and likewise
be of benefit to the small mer-
chants by cutting in on the trade
of the big mail-order houses. If
the plan proves a success it prob
ably will be adopted by other
railroads traversing some Of the
sparsely-settled sections Of the
West.

Because his brother, Earl Loom
is, is to be hanged tomorrow in
Folsom Prison, Boyd LOOMS,

not want one brother to be con-
fined in the same prison where
another is hanged. The LOOMS
brothers were sent up from this

Loomis is to pay the death pen

To Build stOnewaIl Jackson Hall.

Lexington, Va, March 18.-Be-
cause of the burning of the build
ings of the Virginia Military In
stitute by Gen. Hunters troops
when they raided this section fiji
ty years ago and contrary to the
rules of civilized warfare, the in
stitute soon will have a magnifi-
cent new hall which will bear the
name of the celebrated Confeder-
ate chieftain, "Stonewall jack
son." One of the last acts pass
ed by the Sixty-third Congress
was a measure appropriating
500, 900 to pay the war claim of
the institute. The claim had
been before Congress for many
years. The favorable action at
the last session was Que largely
to the statement of Senator du
Pont of Delaware, who declared
on the floor of the senate that his
command under strong protest
had burned the institute build
ings at the order of Gen. Hunter.
Today the board of visitors Of
the institute met to discuss the
expenditure of the proposed
fund. Sentiment of the mem
bers appeared unanimously in ia
vor of devoting the larger part Of
the fund to the erection of a new
Stonewall Jackson Hall.
