its data, and laid it before the
federal committee for such af-
fairs. Out Of the bids made for
the site Hickman stands, it Is
thought, a splendid chance. A
site selected by the Hickman
committee comprises some his

overlooking the Mississippi river
which years ago were sold by
the Brevard heirs for $40 an

POSSIBILITY OF RAILROAD
HICKMAN TO THEBES.

Developments in the cOntro-
versy between Louis Houek, of
Cape Girardeau, and the Frisco
Railroad as to the ownership Ct
the Cape Girardeau NOthern rail
road reached a settlement last
week whereby the Frisco gave Mr.
Houek 100000 to reassume the
ownership of the lines, releasing a
judgment Of $1,037 goo which he
had previously received agains
the big system for their sale.
The readjustment of the Cape
line S ownership, according to
Cape Girardeau sources, comes
with the report that the road
has been purchased by the Illinois
Central and the Mississippi
River and Bonnie Terre railroads.
The Bonnie Terre Railroad, it Is
said, will take over that part of
ths--1ine north of jackson, with
trackage rights into Cape Girar-
deau, while the Central will buy
the line Between Ancell, in Scott
county, and jackson, a total of Is
miles.
The Illinois Central now has
every facility for connecting with
Cape Girardeau, except a track
leading from limo, to the Cape.
The Illinois Central Is a part own
err IN the Thebes bridge and it *
interested in the railroad yards
at limo, and maintains its own
switching facilities in that city.
Louis Houck, who owns the
Cape Girardeau Northern, is said
to have negotiated with the Hi
nois Central and the Bonnie Terre
railroads and reached an under
standing before he consented to
compromise the c.. G. n. suit to
force the Frisco Railroad to guar
antee the bonds of the Cape
Girardeau road.
The reported sale of the Cape
Girardeau Northern to the Illinois
Central is of especially signifi-
canoe to Charleston, inaslnuch as
1T reopens the possibility of
between Hickman, Ky,
and the Thebes bridge, via this
city. The Illinois Central now
have a line terminating at IIick-
man, and connection with the
Cape Girardeau Line in event of
purchase would indeed be FEAST
bic, with the cooperation that
would be given such a project in
both Charleston and Hickman.
The survey for a line from An
cell to Hickman was made in 1911
by Mr.. Houck, before the sale of
his properties, and deeds Il
right of way secured.-Charles-

Tells how to loosen a sore,
tender corn 90 Il lifts
out without pain.

No humbug! Any corn. whether
hard. soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out. without a
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound Of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instant
ly the soreness disappears and shortly
the corn or callus will loosen and car
be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying 1t OF
afterwards. II your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.
