therefore, oppose any radical change

cessful resumption of specie payments
and the signs of returning prosperity
in all branches of business.
Besolved, That we invite In this

of whatever former party affiliation,
who are in favor of financial honesty
and a safe and sound basis for tho bus

St. Joe & C. B. gentlemen treated the
movement with the utmost cordiality
and friendship, and indicated the
terms on which they would complete
and operate the road from Phelps to
Brownville in connection with their
own line, until suoh time as the Q. M.
& P. R. S. Co. deBifed to use the
same; and that if the Brownville
representatives would procure from
the Board of Directors of the Q. M. c
F. R-. R. Co. at Quinoy, an agreement
to the terms so indicated, the arrange
ment would surely be consummated.
At Quinoy, the Brownville repre
sentatives were received with open
arms. They were invited to the meet
ing of the Board of Directors of the
Q. M. & P. R. R. Co. They were so
licited to state to the Board the wiBh
of the people of Brownville, which
Mr. Carson did, in a straightforward
and business like way, which pro
duced the best impression. Mr. Car
son alluded to the rumor, found cur
rent in Quinoy, that the Brownville
people bad permitted the B. Ft. K. &
P. R-. R. to be surrendered up to
strangers. He said that was not true;
that Brownville and all our people
had always stood true to the Q. M. &
B-H. R. Co., and that we were now,
and had been for three years, waging
battle, offensive and defensive, in be
half of the projected system, and
through route of whioh the Q M. &
P. R. R. are parts; and that we were
holding the latter for co-operation
with the former.
It is sufficient to say that the Board
of Directors of the Q. M. & P. R. R.
made oheerful and prompt response to
the request of the Brownville repre
sentatives, and to the fullest extent
asked, and expressed a desire to do
any reasonable thing at any time to
return as compensation to Brownville
for the bonds raised. Also to do any
reasonable thing to facilitate the con
struction of .their road from Brown
ville eastward through Missouri. The
agreement between the K. C. St. Joe
& C. B. R. R Co. and the Q. M. & P.
R. R: Co., as between themselves,
has been secured, and the road will
be completed and operated between
Brownville and' Phelps certainly
within sixty dayH by the K. C. St. Joe
& C. B., under a lease contract on the
right of way and franchise of the Q.
M. &P. R. R. Co. until the latter is
so situated as to operate it themselves,
when they will do so.
This brings to Brownvilla-at once
theK. C St. Joe & C. B. R. R., which
is an important, strong, and well
managed railroad. It also insures
greater certainty of the Q. M. & P. R.
R. This last named road has been in
the last year constructed thirty miles
westward from KIrksville, Missouri.
Thus far it has been constructed by
the strong men of Quinoy, and is still
owned by them. It is so probable as
to be almost inevitable, that a combi
nation will be made that will force
thatroad through to Brownville with
in one year from this time. In thelri
altitudes to the Q. M. & P. R. R.
there is a colncidence-between Quincy
and Brownville. Quincy is in Illi
nois, a different State on the east,
with a projected co-operative auxilia
ry IlIinoisRailroad ; and Brownville
is in Nebraska, a different State on
the west, with a projected co-operative
auxiliary Nebraska Railroad.
Quincy has given to the Missouri
corporation five hundred thousand
dollars in bonds, and Brownville has
given the same corporation twentv
thousand dollars In bonds. Quincy
is the second city in the State of Illi
nois, and if this railroad system is ef
fected the coincidence will be carried
still further by Brownville's being
the second city in Nebraska.
In thus extending- her- hand to
Brownville, Quinoy finds, and al
ways will, the steady and hearty re
sponse of welcome, weloome, thrice
weloome.

about "knee high to a duok." If we
remember correotly what wa have
read of him In the Indianian, he was
a soldier for the union and lost a leg
in the service. The above dipping
from his home paper is evidence that

day in April. If the Director is ab
sent or unable, the moderator or
Treasurer must do it. The census can
be legaUt taken only at this time.

THE ANNUAL MEETING,
when assembled, should pursue the
following order of business, unless
speoial ciroumstanoes render some
other more oonvenient:

1. A summary of all business trens
aoted by the distriot or the Board dur
ing the past year.

by the district at the laBt annual
meeting; also the number of mills
levied by tbeCounty Commissioneis

fidently expected that McMahon will not only be
a great trotter himself but the sire of trotters.
