The Fort Dodge & Omaha railroad Is nol
the only new railroad that will be running
Into Council Bluffs and Omaha within the
next year , unless present Indications go foi
naught. The talk that has been prevalent
for some time past that the Chicago Great
Western Is seeking nn entrance to Coun
cil Bluffs and Omaha and would probablj
enter the latter city over the Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company's bridge and lines
seems well founded. Yesterday It becamt
known that the proposed route of the Greal
Western's line Into this city had been lali :
out dining the lust few days by a corps , ol
surveyors who for some time past ) have beet
working In Shelby county. The fact has
been kept secret as much as possible , but 11
leaked out yesterday and In addition It wa !
stated on undoubted authority that Presi
dent Stlcknny of the Great Western Is tc
be In Council Bluffs either today or tomor
row to take a trip over the route mnrkec
out by his surveyors. The route ns markci
out will bring the road Into the Bluffs close
to where the Burlington and Milwaukee
enter. The route ns now located at t'hls
end of the line runs from Shelby down the
valley of Keg creek for several miles am
then turns to the southwest , crosses the
divide between Keg creek and Mosqulte
creek , striking the latter In Garner town
ship , directly east of Council Bluffs , passIng -
Ing through the Klein tract , the Grave :
property , skirting the old paper mill am
then turns directly and crosses the polni
of the bluff through the Rico farm am
thence follows the line of the bluffs Into the
city.
During the last few days n number o
transfers of property have been made ti
parties supposed to represent the For
Dodge & Omaha road and to the road itself
Most of the property secured by the road li
lots situated north of Broadway on Thlr
teenth street or In that Immediate vlcln
Ity. Among the property recently trans
ferred direct to the Fort Dodge & Omahi
Is one lot facing on Broadway betweei
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. The lo
adjoining this was transferred the sami
day to Charles Batellc of Omaha , n youni
man In the employ of J. L. McCaguc , whi
Is said to be acting In behalf of the For
Dodge In connection with Its purchase o
a right-of-way and property for yards am
depot site. Several pieces of property ar
recorded as transferred to Edgar A. Balrd
another Omaha party , also said to be actlni
In the Interests of the Fort Dodge road
Ono transfer that Is causing conslderabl
speculation Is a single lot In the middle o
a block facing on Avenue B , betweei
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. This lo
would. It Is said , be of llttlo use to an
railroad , unless It intended purchasing th
others Intervening between It and the sld
street.
Other recent transfers of property hav
been made to William Balrd and comprls
nearly 200 acres of land lying due nort
of Big lake along the river botton
Among the property thus transferred ar
the Crawford and the Rohrer tracts. Thes
two pieces of property adjoin. These trans
fers give grounds to the belief that th
Fort Uodgo road contemplates building It
shops hero and putting In extensive yard
and trackuce. There are some who be
llevo that the parties to whom the transfer
have been made may bo acting for hot :
the Illinois Central and the Great Wester :
and that the recent acquisition of propcrt ;
along Thirteenth street and north ot HI ,
lake may bo for the latter road , which will
It Is thought , enter Omaha over the Tor
mlnal company's bridge.

SIOUX CITY , Sept. 14. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The mulct law of Iowa has been
Invoked against a largo number of the
Sioux City drug stores. The assessors refused -
fused to assess these stores the same as
saloons , but the law nrovUes a way. If
thrco persons of the county will make a.
request to the auditor the assessment ? can
be made just the same. This was done by
the residents of the little town of Pal 1.x and
today the full liquor tax -was placed against
nearly every drug store In Sioux City. Few
of the druggists know It yet , but there
will be great consternation when they re
alize the situation. It will ccst each one
$600 per aunum.
Rather a straiiKe Question has come up
In the courts of Sioux City with relation
to the "actlvo service" of a soldier. Charles
Johnson of the Fifty-second Iowa has been
arrested on Information of his wife , who
charges him with desertion. Johnson be
longed to the national guard when the war
broke out and then ho enlisted as ) a vol
unteer under the Government. Ho pleaded
exemption from arrest on account of being
a soldier In actlvo service of the United
States. The court held that the man Is
still a member of the national guard nsldo
from being a federal volunteer , as ho has
never been mustered out. But It Is still a
question about him being In active service.
If ho Is , ho cannot bo held , but if not , ho
Is subject to prosecution under the law like
any other guardsman not In active service.

OSKALOOSA , la. , Sept. 24. ( Special. )
Iowa bids fair to become a large producer
of peaches , according to reports from dif
ferent parts of the state. The peach crop
In Mahaska county will reach several thou-
eand bushels this year. Most of the peach
orchards are small as the fruit Is still an
experiment here , but nearly every farmer
lias a few trees , and they are all loaded
t'hls year. The fruit Is nice tasting and well
formed.
The prospects are that Scott county Is
going to harvest this fall the finest crop of
peaches ever taken from the trees In this
section. The trees are loaded wlt'h ' them.
William Blakesley of Centervllle had a
peach limb ten Inches In length , having on
It eight good sized peaches. This tree Is
only three years old and had half a bushel
of peaches , all told , and they were of line
flavor.
