DOUBLE TRACK FROM HERE
TO BOOTH ON THE ALTON

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. d. - The Alton
plans $9,O0O,0OO in improvements, in
cluding grade reductions and double
tracking.
The first work will be double track
ing part of the Western division from
Mexico, to Boothe, Mo-, and spur
of track near Kansas City, as yet un-
determined, which involves total of
90 miles. This means an expenditure
of more than 100000 and will take
care of the freight capacity for the
next five years.
Business being done by the Alton
between Roodhouse and Kansas City
has reached such unprecedented pro
portions as to make double tracking
absolutely necessary, declared Pres
ident Bierd.
| Operations will, of necessity, b'
slow, the present plans providing fol
only 80 miles to be double tracked fol
each of the next three years.
The Alton has ordered 200 new au
tomobile cars and is rebuilding 35l
steel cars.

NEG RO H|GHWAYMAN GETS
Sl2 IN HOLD-UP SAT. NIGHT
VOOrhies COons Held Up and Robbed
by Negro on East Monroe Street
Late Saturday Night.
NEGRO MAKES HIS ESCAPE
After Hold-Up, Robber Makes Escape
Across Vacant LOt-NO Trace Of
Him Has Yet Been Found.

As Voorhies Coons was returning
home from town between eleven and
twelve o'clock Saturday night, a negro
stepped from behind tree on East
Monroe street, about three blocks from
the square and, at the point of re-
volver, demanded that he hand over
his money. When Mr.. Coons informed
the negro that he had no money, he
proceeded to verify his statement by
searching Mr.. Coons' pockets from
which he procured about twelve dol
lars.
Mr.. Coons describes the robber as a
rather tall, heavy set negro, weighing
about 100 pounds, wearing dark coat
and black slouch hat, pulled down over
his eyes. After the negro had obtain
ed the money, he orderede his victim
to "hike back to town." which he did,
while the negro ran across vacant lot
and disappeared toward Love street.
Mr.. Coons, upon his return to town.
informed Chief of Police Sam Wallace
of the robbery and together they went
in search of the negro, but were able
to find no trace of him. Later Mr.
lCoons and Nightwatchman Sanford
searched the railroad yards, thinking
that possibly although the negro rar
the opposite way after the robbery, he
would turn back to the yards to catct
a train, but their search was alst
fruitless.

SANTA FE SURVEYORS
WORK NEAR CENTRAL|A
(Centralia Guard.l

The first tangible evidence we have
had of the fact that the Santa Fe
contemplated building a road thu here
came last week when a party of sur
veyors for the company came in and
started to work. These surveyors
have been here ten days and have
worked both west and east of town.
They came from Moberly where the
line comes on an almost air line to
Centralia, missing the town of Cark
about a mile and Sturgeon about two
miles to the north. The survey runs
thru town just south of the fair
grounds in Humans addition, and at
the eastern edge of town follows the
Chicago & Alton to a point this side
of Mexico, where the Alton curves
IA little to the south. The Santa Fe
survey goes straight to Francis, l mile
east of Mexico, and will go along the
northern edge of our neighbor on the
east.
If this survey means any more than
three former surveys made by the
Burlington line, we may expect actu-
al work to commence early in the
spring.
The survey comes into town from
the west through the farm of Stockton
Fountain, and as laid out it goes thru
the middle of his new house.
The man in charge of the survey
took pictures of the house from foul
sides and the interior. He also asked
MI. Fountain the cost of the build
ing.

ROBBER PAYS 7TH VISIT
TO FERRIS STORE WED
Thief Cuts Hole in Back Door Of
Ferris Hardware StOre-Noth-
Of Value Missed.
THE WORK OF PROFESSIONAL!
Only Articles of Little Value Have
Been Missed, After Robbers
Numerous Visits.

Again, Wednesday night, some one
paid a visit to L. Roy Ferris, hard
ware store by way of the back door.
This is the seventh time in the past
few weeks that this store has been
entered and apparently each time by
the same person.
The robber made his entrance We'd
nesday night by cutting a small hole
above the latch in the rear door and
slipping back the bolt. Nothing of
value could be missed after his visit.
This mysterious visitor has taken
Only small articles Of little value and
small amounts of money at each visit.
Mr.. Ferris says he is convinced that
the robberies are the work of pro-
fessional.
Among the other eccentricities of
the unknown visitor, is, that he in
variably locks the door carefully
after his visit. He made some of his
entries through the rear basement
door and some through the rear door
on the first floor; he always leaves
by the door through which he enter
ed, and carefully locks it behind him
and Wednesday night he even placed
the plug he had removed to enable
him to reach the bolt on the inside.

MRS. WALKER ENTERTAINED.
Mrs. W. =. Smith is Hostess to Ladies
of Sewing Circle"

On Friday, last, the beautiful home
of Mrs. William P. Smith on Clark
avenue, was thrown open in hospi-
tality to the ladies of the "Sewing
Circle" in honor of Mrs. VIM. Walk
er, who left Saturday for her new
home in Chicago. Mrs. Walker has
lived in and near Mexico for twenty
nine years and will be greatly miss
ed in st. Brendan's parish, where she
has been a faithful worker, a much
loved member, and one who numbers
her friends by her acquaintance.
The afternoon was spent in pleasant
conversation and delicious refresh
ments were served. A touching fea-
ture of the occasion was the presenta-
ton of a little remembrance to Mrs.
Walker by Mrs. Chas. Weinand, act
ing in behalf of the "Circle." Though
visibly impressed, Mrs. Walker re-
ceived her gift most gracefully and
replied by saying her surprise was
complete and that when the heart is
filled to overfowing the tongue speak
eth not. But of course she expressed
her gratitude in her own sweet way
that has so endeared her to us all.
She assured us that much as she ap-
preciated the beautiful gift, the kind
thoughts in the loving hearts of her
friends was the most cherished gift
she was taking with her. "a new
home, new interests, new friends,
she said, "be they ever so delightful
can never make me forget my old
ohes tried and true, and though many
miles separate us l will in sweet
thought bring you all very near to
NE and live over again many times
the happy hours we nave spent togeth'
err" A shadow of sorrow hovered
over all when the farewells were said
for we well knew how long we will
miss her, and the writer of these lines
believes she can truthfully say thai
many of us are better women by hav'
ing known Mrs. Walker and witness
ed her fidelity in all things. j.
