themselves. It wont be long till
our citizens will be compelled to
stand at ths corporationliue, clubs
in hand, to keep back the syndicates that are crowding forward to fill up the gap betweeu Columbus and SwilzCity : Middletown, O., April 25, 1887. To the Auditor of Monroe co., Indiana. Dear Sir As I have no acquaintance in your county, and my engagement will not permit me going to your town at present, I write you. I reside in St. Louis, am now engaged as the engineer and agent ot a syndicate formed of gentlemen of Kansas City, St. Louis, Auburn, and Syracuse, New York.and Hew York City, for the purpose of building a railway from St. Louis to Wheeling to connect with the Southern Peon. Road to Harrisburg, and New York and the Alluntown route, making a route 100 miles shorter than any present route. The route as now marked out is from St. Louis to Sullivan, Sullivan to Greensburg,Indiana, thence to Hamilton, Lancaster, to Wheeling. While directness will be our aim, we will take a route where the people will become interested, and where heavy grades and curvatures can be avoided. The syndicate will meet in St. Louis on the 30th of Hay. After the route is settled upon, engineers will be placed la the field and the line will be located and built. Should you wish to learn further you may write to C. O. Godfrey, Farmer buildingt. Louis, as he is the Treasurer of the Syndicate. At St. Louis, the line will connect with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe for the Pacific, making by far the best line across the continent My address is as above, Middletown, Ohio. May I hope to bear from you, as to the feeling of your peoplo toward the enterprise. Yours truly, J. E. WILLIAMS, Eng. and Ag't. for the Syndicate. Auditor Alexander answered the letter as per request, and on Saturday received the following reply ; Middletown, O., April 38, 1887. W. M. Alexander. My Dear Sir I am very muoh obliged to you for your favor of tho 27th, and will forward it to St. Louis Headquartsrs. This enterprise has no connection or interest in any line or movement ; it has been very carefully organized in each Htata, viz : Illinois, Indiana and Ohio,and the to ree corporations have been consolidated forming one corporation from East St. Louis to Wheeling, West Virginia, there to connect with the Fenn. Southern for Harrisburg and New York; at St. Louis the Atchison, Topeku & Santa Fe is connected with it. I will visit tbe Indiana towns and select the route, and when the public are fully satisfied that this is the line they want, and that there U solid backing, then, and not until then, will any aid be asked. We do not wish nor will we antagonise any enterprise, but if the field is occupied, select a different route, amend our charter and take

McKee, the carpenter, has bought a lot just west of Ira Graves, on west 5th street, and will remove the frame portion of the Tarkington property to it. Cap. Fields has returned from a three weeks stay in Wichita. He is enthusiastio over that city, and says there are nearly one thousand houses in course of erection. He saw Lon. aud John Davis, both of whom are prospering. The persons who wrote up the sensational story about Cheeky Chambers being released on tbe 28th, were sadly mistaken.

He stopped in Muncie, where there are seven gas wells and three or four railroads. The country, he says, in that portion of the State, is lit up for miles by the gas wells, and Muncie is enjoying a decided "boom."

Persons who have returned from Decatur state that business rooms twenty feet square rent readily at fifty to sixty dollars per month, and are difficult to procure at thai price. Mrs. Amanda Markle,a former well known resident of Bloomington, and mother of Mrs. W. F.

stock of $10,000, some $7,000 of
which has been subscribed. This

E. Henley offered u resolution
embodying the statement that as

B. A. McGee, W. W. Wicks. Dr.
McPheeters made a motion, which
was carried, that a competent geolo
gist be employed to make a map of
tbe stone localities in this vicinity,
the map to be used for advertising purposes. T. E. Phillips stated tbat a stone saw-mill company talk
ed of locating here, and he was told
to notify them that land would be donated to them. Railroad talk
was then indulged in, aud it was
decided that every edcouragenient
must be given to such an enterprise. A committee was then appointed to

stone iutesests, college, schoolable.,
the committee to consist of J. E.
Heuley, H. J. Feltus and II. S. Bates. The water works, Mr.

"Egg sociables" are now pop
ular in the Eiat. Each young la
dy attending the sociable brings an egg along, writing her name on it.
Each young roan draws one of those
eggs out ot a bag, and must act as , an escort for the young lady whose uatue is inscribed ou the egg lie
draws. Particular care is taken to
have the egg boiled hard. The
difference between the Eastern and Western "egg sociable," isstriking. In the West the first requisite to
an "egg sociable" is some man who
will make a speech and take the in
tensely unpopular side of the question. No young ladies are neces-
aary, but the men attendiug the so
ciable each take an egg along. The eggs are never boiled, and never
new, and do not have the name of the donors written on them. They
are not drawn from a bag, but from
the pocket, each man drawing bis own egg. He then presents it to the orator, generally letting it go at an angle of about 46, Tbe pop
ularity of these "egg Bociables" has
long been maintained in some lo
calities.
