RAILROAD ENGINEERS AT WORK ON THE SURVEY.

Indiana Northwestern Traction €o. Has Force of Men Surveying Proposed Route Through City. A force of men under the direction of Chief Engineer Garver are at work on a survey for the projected Indiana Northwestern Traction Co.’s railroad, which has been showing so much activity* as to lend a great amount of hope to all the progressive people who will welcome another railroad through Jasper county. The engineers began work Thursday morning, surveying the streets and will follow by going over the route south to Remington and thence east through Wolcott to Reynolds to which place the road has already been surveyed from the south. Much confidence is felt in the promoters and the active manner in which they have gone ahead indicates that they will go further with a. road than any others have done and they claim to have the most positive assurances that the road will be financed. We need it and should give it all the encouragement possible.

If you are, take her to Philadelphia and have her tested on a Phthymograph. first aid to the bash'ul man. Take her on an unsuspecting visit to the laboratory of the psychological clinic of the University of Pennsylvania, have her place her hand in the machine and then step into an adjoining room and await developments. While she is thusly standing sotne one will pronounce your name to her and if she loves you the machine will register a faint line with an upward inclination because of her emotions when some one softly calls you Reginald or Adolphus or whatever your name is. If she loves you not the line will incline downward and she will need some more wooing in order to create the proper emotions of affection which the machine registers. The machine hag been tried and is pronounced an entire success.
