Where the Cigar Got Its Name. Chicago Tri-buno : The origin of tin word cigar is of some interest and is note to be found in the ordinary dictionaries The worp , of oourso , is Spanish , am Littro in his French dictionary says tha it is derived from cigarra , the Snanlsl name for grasshopper. When the Spaa iards lirst introduced tobacoo into Spair from tlio island of Cuba in the sixtocntl century , they cultivated the plant In thoii gardens , which in Spanish are callei cigarralcs. Each grow his tobacco ii hi" cigarral and rolled it up for stnokin ; as ho had learned from the Indians in thi West Indies. When ono ofTorod a smoke to friend ho could say : "Es do mi cigar rol" it is from my garden. Soon the expicssion came to bq : "Esto cigarro ci do mi clgarrol" this cigar is from mj g rdon. And from this the word cigai spread over the world. The name ci garral for garden comes from cigarra a grashopper , that Insect being vary com rhon in Spain , and cigarral moaning tin place whore the cigarra sings , in thi : way the word cigar comes from cigarra the niimo of the insect , not because it re sembles the body of the grasshopper but because it was grown in the place i frequents.

An old rumor has again taken wings and is llying around to the effect thai an arrangement is , to bo clfcctcd bj which the Chicago' ' Milwaukee & St. Paul road is to ontojjOmaha by way ot tlio Union Paciuo bridge , and the Union Pacific Is to run if trains direct to Chicago over the former road. Thorcris a color of plaus < ibility In the theory1hat ? { the Union Pa cifio oucht to haven a direct line to Chicago , especially1 * the Northern Pa- clflo and Santa Fo , $ ojh rivals , are build ing to that point from St. Paul and Kan sas City , respectively Mr. Dokenson , who was spoken tcyibout the matter , said that ho kuow nothing of the con summation of such'a'.project , but hoped that something of the ( chul would bo done Mr. Kimball saiditho story was for warded probably upon the negotiation ; which were pending some time ago , bj which the Chicago , Milwaukee & St Paul sought to train entrance to Omaha over the Union Pacific bridge. With the facts premised above , however , he thought it was all theory and conjecture , Spunking of the matter another rail road man said the idea was visionary. . The privilege of the Milwaukee road te enter Omaha over the Union Pacific nriilco would In no way compensate it for the use of TOO miles of its track tc Chicago by the Union Pacific. As a con sequence , the latter would bo compelled to pay an enormous trackage , which would bn more than the interest on the construction of anvr \ lino. " 1 would rather believe , " said the same gentleman , "that If unytlilrtjj of the kind is contemplated , the Union Pacific will aoo that it will bo t its Interest to build a line of its own t the lake motropolis. The Union Paclfi cannot contract its freight to Chicago t that degree as to send It over one Inn 'i ho shipper can order his freight oas ward from Omaha by any of the low lines , no matter how much soovor th Union Pacific might desire to throw it t the Milwaukee. " Mr. Kimball was again soon and asKo if the fact of the Northern and the Soutl fcrn Pacifies making a line into Chicaz would not give them an advantage eve the Union Pacific. Ho replied : "Not thi lines runmnc eastward from her give the s.imo facilities to the Union I' ; clfic that the other Pacific lines expect t receive from tholr extension. " Such It cllitins , ho thought , the Union Pacili now onjoyed.
