REOPENING DEAL for Male of road

Engineer Here to Make Further Survey of the Chicago & Wabash Valley Railroad. Negotiations are again on for the purchase by Chicago interests, whose (identity is clothed in secrecy at this time, of the Chicago & Wabash Valley railroad, the road, and D. C. Dunlap, a civil engineer, has again been sent here to go over the road and make another estimate of the value. It is said that the offer the Chicago people made several months ago still holds good and that Executor Gifford and others interested are more disposed to consider a sale now than they were some time ago. Ed Oliver, the hustling real estate agent and chief booster of Gifford farm lands, is again active in the effort to bring negotiations to a close. Wednesday Executor Gifford, of Tipton, who is the president of the road; Vice President and General Manager Frank E. Lewis; Engineer C. J. Hobbs and Secretary N. G. Halsey were in conference. They declared to a reporter that there was no significance in th meeting. The Republican was told, however, by one of the heirs recently that he personally favored the sale of the road at the figure offered and that he believed a number of the )ther heirs also favored it. This would make the settlement of the vast estate,possible and If the road is not sold,' it will take a long time to close up the estate and it will be a long time before the heirs can realize anything from the bequest. There is every probability that the people who are trying to purchase the road are representing some other railroad system and that the consummation of the deal will mean the improvement and extension of the road, which wpuld be a grand thing for the land it traverses and would herp materially in the development of the farms' and their increase in value.

Christian Shurch Ladies Cleared Sixty-Five Dollars.

The chicken pie supper at the Christian church dining room Wednesday evening attracted a large number of people and $65 was cleared.

Some parts of the menu became exhausted before all had been served and delays were occasioned while the ladies prepared for the late arrivals. About 280 were fed and the supper was a splendid success.

Entire mystery seems to surround the death of George Stanton, of near Rockfleid. It seems that he had started out hunting in the morning and at noon. Mrs. Stanton discovered the barn on fire. She hastened out to release a calf that was in the barn. She then called neighbors and. they found the burned body of Mr. Stanton in the barn. Whether his gun had been accidentally discharged, killing or wounding him and at the same time firing the (barn, or whether he had committed suicide will probably never be known. He was one of seven children and the first death in the Stanton ‘family. Fresh oysters at all times at Fate’s College Inn. Hives, eczema, itch or salt rheum sets you crazy.

Surprised Primary Pupils Execute Rapid Fire Drill.

Fire Chief Montomery visited the primary department of the public sdhools this Thursday morning and sounded the gong. The three hundred pupils, under the direction of the surprised teachers, executed an orderly departure from the building, vacating it in just 55 seconds. A gong was installed in the Catholic parochial school and the first fire drill held, and the pupils vacated the building in 45 seconds. A surprise alarm was also sounded at the high school this afternoon and a rapid exit made. These drills will probably be conducted several times during the ygar.

COLLEGEVILLE.

Rev. J.. Stack, Portland, Oreg., and Rev] J. J. Mullen, Chicago, and Rev. Patrick Fallon, Paris, 111., were late visitors at the college. Last Sunday, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, was a holiday and hence there were no classes. In the morning the students paid their monthly visit to the city. During the last few days those who were conditioned after the regular bi-monthly examinations were given special tests in those subjects in which they had failed. The gymnasium walls are now nearly complete and the raisers are now at work taking out the heavy beams and the building will soon have a natural foundation again. Though handicapped by the condition of the gymnasium, manager Fitzgerald has given the 'basketball candidates a thorough workout. There are tryouts enough in the field for two strong teams, hence after they have been simmered down to the required seven there will be a team on the floor * this season that will force former record breakers to look Askance at their ancient laurels. The schedule Is not yet complete, but negotiations, are in progress that will bring some strong teams tOithe local floor and that will give the college quintette hard fights when they wander into the enemy’s territory.
