We are too often forgetful of what

the poets have been tbereaUaspiration

have interpreted the deenest emotion

are best expressed in poetic language.
In fact methodical prose is inadequate

The Continental Midland railway Is

ing is known here of the Midland's

believe that the company is connected
with tbe Anthony A Northern railwav
company, recently chartered In Kansas
to build a railroad with a terminal at
Anthouv. Has., and this city. The
routes proposed by the two companies
form practically a straight north and
sooth line through the two. states. As
laid out on paper they would oarallel
each other between Uastings and the
Kansas state line, but If there is1 any
connection between the two companies
the linen could be changed to jojn
somewhere in the vicinity of Red Cloud
or uioomington.
If all the proposed north and south
roads should be built they wouldnrob.
ably outnumber the east and west lines
through ' Nebraska and Kansas and
such a coudltiou is not to be expected.
The rail road building in the next
few years, however, may be chiefly in
the direction of the gulf and It Is not
beyond the range of the possible that
Hastings may be Included In another
system in the next few years. In the
