Council Bluffs. May 2S.-The motive
department OF the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad has an ambitious
plan for the lengthening of the runs OF
the engines on it's fast passenger ana
the attention Of the railroad men OF the
entire country. 1t is first planned 10
have one engine make the entire run
across the. state Of Iowa and possibly
even from Burlington to Lincoln, Neo.
in which event the engine run will be
345 miles. The distance across the
state of Iowa on the @ is 2s5 miles
Tests of the plan were made Tues
day night when two special trains
were sent over the line. In this test
one engine made the run from Burling-
ton to Lincoln and on the other train
engines We're changed at Creston. Tho
engine which made the long run OF $40
miles took coal only at Charlton ana
made faster time into Lincoln than the
train which was hauled by two differ
ent engines. by seventeen minutes.
Test Successful.
The test was so successful that the
officials of the operating department
OF the road are nightly pleased and
the report which will be sent into
headquarters at Chicago will indorse
the new idea, radical as it is in rail-
road operations. Similar tests are be-
ing conducted between other points on
the system and upon the result will
depend the final decision of the men
higher up.
1t is the most unusual thing hap
penins in railroad circles in Iowa in
many years and but short time ago

since May II, was found by onzP me
searching parties that have b ~ Tag
ging the Wapspinnicon river - the
past three days. The body was dis

led the coroner to call an inquest.
Temple was last seen in the company
of two strangers who disappeared the

friends of Temple think they may have
thrown him into the river.
