THE DR. GEORGE LINE ® Road Must be Completed Within Two Years.—Cars Between Dayton and Fort Wayne Within a Year. W. E. Toohey, a representative of the Cincinnati Dayton & Fort Wayne railway company, yesterday began the preliminary work necessary to building the line through here. He was interviewed at the Burt House this morning and said: “I know that there is a loss of faith in the Dr. George line here, but the people do not seem to understand that it takes time to build a railroad like this is to be, 194 miles long, and of the most modern system known. It takes time and money, but after five years of hard work Dr. George has overcome every obstacle and has secured the assurance ot 112,500,000 with which to build the line. This means its completion and according to the terms of the contract made with the capitalists, the must line be in operation within two years. A hundred teams are now working this way from Davton, and it is the desire to complete the entire grade by spring. Cars will be running between Fort Wayne and Dayton ; within a year. One of the provisj ions of the contract with the capitalists is that the company must survey, secure the right of way and do the preliminary work and this requires some money and it has been decided to offer for sale stock There is no question that the stock would be valuable and will make a splendid investment. The company is capitalized at $1,000,000, composed of 2 ’.OOO fifty dollar shares. These shares will be offered for a short time at from $27 to $35. My mission here now is to appoint an agent to sell stock in and about Decatur, and to convince the peo pie that they are going to have the finest interurban railroad in the United States. The entire system is to be double tracked and the third rail is to be used. We will run trains of cars and will in fact be an electric railroad running oars every half hour. The line will run from Fort Wayne to Decatur, through Poe, from here to Willshire, thence to Celina, Dayton and Cincinnati.” Mr. Toohey is a pleasing gentleman to talk to and we believe his statement that nothing now can stop the building of this line. He predicts that it will be the means of causing Decatur to “spring up like Ta mushroom.” He says that representatives of the road will be here practically all the time from now on. He went to Fort Wayne this afternoon, but will return tomorrow morning.

AN INDIAN LEGEND. The Way Nan-ab-beju Made the New Earth After the Flood. “I will tell you the story of Nan-ab-beju. He is the man who made the new earth after the big water came and covered it. “Big waters came, and there was nothing anywhere except water and the sky and the sun and the stars. " said the old Chippewa. “Nan-ab-beju made a great raft and put on it some relic of everything that had been on the earth —specimens of each kind of animals, of all the trees, shrubs, plants, flowers, birds, rocks, and one man and one woman. In short, he did not leave anything except sand. He forgot to save some sand, and yet be could not do anything without it. He sailed out far into the flood and made a little island, very, very small. Then he found he had no sand. He made a very big line, longer than hundreds of deerskins cut up into ribbons and tied together. and he took a muskrat off the raft and tied the line to it and threw It into the water. The frightened rat dove down and down, and when there was no longer any pulling at the line Nan-ab-beju knew the rat was at the bottom of the sea. Then he began to pull the line up. At the end of it came the poor muskrat, stone dead, drowned. But Nan-ab-beju saw that the little black paws of the animal were clenched as if there was something in their palms and that the rat held tight hold of even after death. The little paws were forced open, and in them were found half a dozen grains of sand. One grain would have been enough for the great Nan-ab-beju. “Nan-ab-beju blew his breath on the muskrat, and its life came back to it. Then he mixed the sand in the little island that he had made and blew on that also. As he blew and blew it swelled and swelled until it was so big that Nan-ab-beju could not sec the sides or end of it in any direction. Nan-ab-beju was not quite certain whether be had made it as big as the old earth before the big water came. He bad to make it as big as it bad been—so big, in fact, that no mat- or creature could find the end of it. He had plenty of animals that could travel over the earth and find out how big it was, so he decided to take two huge buffaloes off the raft and send them to see whether there was any end to what he had made. The buffaloes ran off with all speech and Nan-ab-beju sat down and waited. In a few days the buffaloes came back and said they bad found the end of the earth. So Nan-ab-beju blew and blew and blew on the ground again, and it swelled so fast that you could see it broadening. When he had blown until he was tired he took a crow off the raft and sent it to see if it could find the end of the earth. The crow was gone a very long time, but at last it came sailing back on the wind and said it had flown till it was tired out and there was no sign of any end to the earth. “Nan-ab-beju, to make sure, blew again and swelled the earth a great deal bigger. Then he untied and uncaged and untrapped all the animals and drove them from the raft on to the land and left them free to roam where they might He took all the trees, plants, bushes and shrubs and planted them around, and he blew the grass out of his hands as hard as he could blow it, so that it scattered all over. Next he let loose all the birds and beetles and bugs and snakes and toads and butterflies, and finally he invited the man and woman, both Chippeways, to go ashore and make the new earth their hunting ground. And Nan-ab-beju’s task was done.”—St. Nicholas. Title* In Germany, The question of title is one of the most delicate in Germany, a fact of which the stranger is constantly reminded in intercourse with the people, particularly with the women. Frau Professor. Fqpu Director, Frau Doctor, are most particular about their husband's titles being attached to their own names. But when it comes to military circles it is different, and both men and women protest vigorously against this sha.ing of titles. Lieutenant von B. objects to having his wife addressed as Frau Lieutenant, which title belongs as well to the wife of Lieutenant Schmidt or Haff of a less aristocratic regiment. Daman’ Scheme. Alexandre Dumas. Sr., was once visiting his son, who at that time lived in a villa near Paris. They sat in a tiny scrap of a garden behind the house under the one small tree it contained. It was a broiling hot day, and Dumas, who was very stout, said to his son: “I am suffocating with the intenss heat.” “What shall I do, father?’ “Suppose you open your chamber window and let a little air into the garden,” replied old Alexandre, with gravity. One Exception. “No,” declared Mr. Nagget, “there never was a woman on earth who could refrain from turning around to rubber at some other woman’s clothes.” “No?” replied his wife sweetly. “Didn’t you ever hear of Eve?”—Philadelphia Press. How She Took It. Adolphus Hunt—Don't you Ziink it would be a noble thing for you to do with your wealth to establish a home for the feeble minded? Miss Riche — Oh, Mr. Hunt, this is so sudden! Uoinen and Smuggling;. Many a lady smuggles who would no more tip her ball into the better position at croquet than she would cut a throat or scuttle a ship.—Andrew Lang. Genuine benevolence Is not stationary, but peripatetic. It goes about doing good.—Nevin*.
