ring with Interested parties who seek

There seems to bo very good prospect
of the building of the line during the

now seems to bo whether the road
shall head for Omaha or Kansas City.
If the latter route Is selected , the line
will pass through Lincoln and Colum
bus , with terminus at Newport for the
present. Mr. Meyers and his associ
ates have been working on the propo
sition for a number of months. Their
articles of Incorporation wore filed last
year and under the now plans the ar
ticles will bo amended by expansion
of the capital stock. When built , the
line will tap an Immense stock and
grain country now remote from any
railroad. The local stockholders fa
vor the route through Omaha , but oth
er Interested people favor Kansas City ,
St. Joseph and Lincoln.

A POEM ABOUT SADIE
Appeal for Verse Is Answered by J. D.
Sturgeon of Norfolk.
The following poem has boon writ
ten by .1. D. Sturgeon In regard to Sa
die and her rihcep :
There was a girl In our town ,
Her name was Sadie Brown ,
She had two lambs that followed her ,
Whenever she wont to town.
These lambs had fleece ns white as
snow ,
Much whltor than Sadie Brown ,
But Sndle did not care a darn ,
And took thorn down to town.
Now when Chief Hay came strolling
hy ,
He bade them all adieu ,
And ordered Sadlo with her lambs
To get up and sklddoo.
Now Sadlo knows a thing or two , -
And Chief Hay found It out ;
Said Sadie , "Lincoln set us black folks
free , "
And In that Proclamation ,
Gave mo and my lambs full access
To all streets In creation.
You pass right by all nasty dogs , all
sizes , kinds and colors ;
They growl and bark at women , and
frighten children too ,
And you never thought of saying , now ,
"All you darned dogs sklddoo ! "
Now Sadlo she has made amends
To Uccker and his friends ,
And docs not see how"she could take
Him to be that man Hay ,
Who Is so awful homely
That ho scared her lambs away.
Mayor Friday may see fit
To call an extra session ,
To have the city council
To decide this knotty question.
And If they decide
Thn ? Sadie and her lambs must go ,
Chief Hay will swing his hat and say ,
"I have won by Joe. "

Jerome Is Wrong.
Now" York , Jan. 21. "I do not want
to bo placed In the position of appear
ing to defend the racetracks , hut I am
convinced that If the measures pro
posed by District Attorney Jerome to
abolish betting at the tracks become
laws , the decent men now at the head
of the racing associations would be
driven from the sport and the race
tracks would become mcro annexes to
the poolrooms. " This statement was
made yesterday Ly the Rov. Thomas
H. Sllcor , the Unitarian clergyman
who , with the late Norton Goddard ,
was Instrumental In forcing the West
ern Union Telegraph company to dis
continue Its service to the poolrooms.

NORTHWESTERN TO EXTEND.
Rumored that System Will be Extend
ed Into Montana.
Helena , Mont. , Jan. 22. Rumors
which frequently have been In circu
lation that it Is the intention of the
Chicago & Northwestern road to ex
tend Its line into Montana , have been
revived , and circumstantial evidence
seems to Indicate that the coming sum
mer will witness actual work on the
extension. The last year the North
western pushed a line ocross South
Dakota to Rapid City. Heavy rails
were laid and massive steel and stone
bridges thrown across the Missouri
river and other streams , and every
thing done that would Indicate that the
line was Intended for constant and
heavy traffic.
Railroad men say that the North
western Is going to protect the trade
It already has In the way of cattle and
stock shipments , and that to do so It
will find It necessary to extend Its
lines. It Is declared that from Belle
Fourcho the Northwestern will build
a line to Billings , up the north bank
of the Yellowstone river to Living
ston , to get the park trade , thence np
Shields river , over on the east fork
of the Mussellshell and down Smith
river to Fort Logan , whcro the road
will go by way of White's Pass , to
Helena , up Ton Mile to Priest's Pass ,
which is declared to be every bit as
good as the McDonald , and tunnels
will bo avoided.
Branch lines , according to this re
port , are to be built to Great Falls and
Butte , the Butte line going by way of
Rod mountain , thereby making the
line shorter than either the Great
Northern or Northern Pacific.
EAT THEIR CHILDREN.
Starving Chinese Are Guilty of a Horrible
rible Kind of Cannibalism.
Victoria , B. C. Jan. 19. Further ad
vices received from Shanghai tell of
Increasing horrors of the great fam
ine in Central China.
A correspondent of the Echo do
Chlno says that In two districts , Sin-
chow and Palchow , starving people
are eating their children. Plants and
grass , which have furnished food for
many , have disappeared and there are
not oven roots to eat. The famine-
stricken people are being driven back
to the cities In the famine district , the
olllcialH refusing to allow refugees to
take the roads.
The correspondent says the cases
of cannibalism are many. Ho Investi
gated a number and many of them ab
solutory are correct. In the absence
of ordinary food , ho found human
llcsh actually being sold.
Beat a boy out of a dime and the
crime will never outlaw.
Winning on a slot machine is an
event equal to a hunter killing n wild
goose.
Almost any defense would bo all
right If you could make people bellovo
it.

HOW DISEASES SPREAD.
Dust in the Air Carries Bushels of
Tubercular Germs.
"I find myself hard to be convinced
that the drinking of milk from a tu
bercular cow would cause tuberculosis
of the lungs , " said a Norfolk physi
cian , after reading the interview ex
pressions of a state senator regarding
the spread of tuberculosis among live
stock In Nebraska. "I can readily see
that tubercular milk would produce
tuberculosis of the stomach or other
organs with which it came in actual
contact , In case the system were not
vigorous enough to throw off the
germs , but I fall to see how taking
germs Into the stomach could produce
tuberculosis of the lungs. Nature has
provided against the spread of these
germs In the blood. I do believe ,
though , that there is much tuberculo
sis of the stomach and intestines
caused by tubercular milk.
"I have never been able to see how
people could figure that eating tuber
cular meat would cause tuberculosis ,
because heat enough to cook meat will
kill germs. "
Speaking further of tuberculosis and
Its spread , the physician said : "On
the street of any city out of 100 people
who pass , a scientific man could de
tect tuberculosis In some stage of de
velopment among seventy-five of them.
It Is no wonder that the disease
spreads. Everybody spits. Sputum
gets mixed with dust and the germs
are blown around in the air. Bushels
of germs thus got mixed In the air.
Walk down a city street and your col
lar becomes covered with dust. Some
of this dust gets Into your lungs. II
your system is vigorous , you will
throw off these germs and bo unaf
fected by them. If they catch you in a
weak or depleted condition , they take
root and develop. A disease germ
must take root before it becomes dan
gerous , tl depends upon the condition
of a person whether the germ takes
root.
"Out of a class of school children ,
you will find that nine In ten , to some
slight degree , show diphtheria germs.
If the child Is healthy the germs will
not take root. If the child is weak
and run down , the germs do take root
and an epidemic follows. "
