The Omaha Bee, in speaking of
new roads likely to be built, touches
up the line that Plattsmonth expects

The second road that is looking
for an Omaha connection is the
Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City,
the "Maple Leaf line. This compa
ny has a line from Chicago to St.
Paul and one to Kansas City,
touching also at St. Joseph. A line
to Omaha is all that the company
needs to cut a pretty wide swath
in the business from Missouri river
points. It is the pumose of the
company to build a line from the
Kansas Cit' branch to Omaha com
mencing at or near Des Moines and
running through the southern tier
of Iowa counties between the Rock
Island and Burlington lines.
Plans tor this extension were ripe
a year ago and work was about to
be commenced when the money
market became so close that cash
for railroad building was with
drawn ewtirelv.
-Mr. C. R. Berry of St. Joseph, as
sistant and general freight agent
of the road, was in Omaha yester
day and imformed a reporter for
the liee that the building the
proposed line to Omaha was again
being considered and that proba
bilities were that work would be
commenced within a month. "Hr
the use of the Wabash connection,"
said Mr. Berry, "the 'Maple Leaf
took 9,(X)0 carloads of Wabash
freight for eastern points last year
The company can't afford to stay
out of Omaha and I predict that
the 'Maple Leaf will be in a po
sition to haul a good share of Ne
braska's big corn crop to market this
fall."
The "police court" is on the jury

A large company of Portuguese
citizens passed through Omaha
yesterday on their way to Califor
nia. They were an unusually
bright appearing crowd of foreign
ers and carried with them an inter
preter. One of thr-v boys in the
crowd, a lad about thirteen or four
teen years of age, got off the train
at Omaha to look about the depot,
and while lie was out on his tour of
observation the train and party
moved out, the interpreter carrying
his ticket, the poor iellow soon
discovered he was left without
ticket and money, and being unable
to make anyone understand him,
as Portuguese is a rare language,
he started west on the B. & M. track
at a lively trot for California. The
unfortunate boy may have a hard
time of it before he is able to make
anyone understand who he is and
where he wants to go, as the party
were compelled to go to Hastings
before they could obtain a layover.
e learned from the interpreter
that the bov'sname was "Gonzalus."
