VOLUME XVIIL

e e —————————————— e—- — In all probability the Indiana, Illinois & lowa, better known as the Three I’s, will become in the near fature a more prowminent factor in the railroad sitnation. It has not yet attained its stature and is at present exhibiting symptoms of lii’ely growth, The humble mission o1 the road, with its 118 miles of main track, extending from Knox, Ind., to Streator, 111., has heretofore been to link the eastern and western systems without touching Chicago ~ and thus form through lines for fast freight. It taps all the eastern roads through a north and south cross-line of fifty miles, axtending from ULaCrosse, lud., to New Buffalo, Mich. This cross-line it leases in fractions from the Chicago & FEastern Illinois and the Chicago & West Michigan., These leases expire in a few months. It was mentioned yesterday that the Three T's was surveying a line from Knox, the eastern terminus, northeasterly to South Bend. If this lire is built it will tap all the eastern roads reached by the leased properties and make the more important city of South Bend the eastern ter—minus. But it is by no means yet settled that this extension will Le made. The Three ['s is more ambitious. It already owns a-right-of-way and graded roadbed from Knox eastward to Plymouth, Ind., and chances seem to be that it will soon be under rail. From Plymouth an extension has been projected nowtheastward to Goshen, Ind. Once at Goshen there will be every incentive to push on to Toledo. The people along the proposed line are crazy for aroad and will almost give awaytheir farms to get one. Rights of way and local appropriations almost suffi eient to grade the road have been several times voted to enterprising but ~ impecunious railroad projectors, but ~ allinvain. The ronte would strike ‘fgﬂtmgo and Angola, prosperous . towns in northeastorn Indiana, tlat L ; w m road’.k. The: i Bt in 1890 and 1891 loeal aid alon ~ the line was voted to an independent but financially irresponsible company bnt the same assistance was denied the Lake Shore. The campaign of the Three I's for ¥he season will probably be determined within a few wesks.—Chicago. Sunday Herald.

: HO, FOR THE KANKAKEE! | Ho. for the marshes, green with spring. Wheretthe bitterns croak and the plovers pipe | Where the gaunt old heron spreads his wings, , Above the haunt of rail and snipe; | For my gun is clean and my rods in trim, ‘ And the old, wild longing is roused in me; Ho, for the bass pools cool and dim! Ho, for the swales of the Kankakee! Is there other joy like the joy of a man Free for a season with rod and gun, With the sun to tan and the winds to fan, And the waters to lull, and never a one of the Cares of life to follow him, Or to shadow his mind while he wanders free? Ho, for the currents slow and dim! Ho, for the fens of the Kankakee! | A hut by the river, a light canoe, My rod and mv gun, and a sennight fair— A wind from the South and the wild fowl due : Be mine. All's well Come never a care. | A strain of the savage fires my blood; And the zest of freedom is keen in me; '| Ho, for the marsh and lillied flood! | | Ho, for the sleughs of the Kankakee! el | Give me to stand where the swift currents rash, : With Iny rod all astrain and & bass coming in, ' Or, give me the marsh; with the brown snips aflush, : And my gun's sudden flashes and resonant : din; Forl am tired of the desk, and tired of the town. | And]llong to be out, and I long to be free; - | Ho, for the marsh, with the birds whirling down! : Ho, for the pools of the Kankakee! —[Maurice Thompson in “Poems,” ——————t—— WRECK AT WELLSBORO. | On last Saturday night about 12 o’clock while No. 4 passenger train, east bound, was taking water at Wellsboro, a freight train from e west crashed into the rear of No. 4, making sad havoc of several cars. Two pasenger coaches were burned and about ten freight cars were wrecked, eight car-loads of grain being destroyed. A few of the passengers on No. 4 were bruised some, but none badly hurt. On the coliding freight, which was Conductor Brady's train, the fireman and one of the brakeman were injured, the latter, Tom Aunspaugh, of Albion, quite seriously. TWO MEN KILLED. - A horrible accident occmrred at Osatauthis eounty, last Ratorday, by {his brother-in-law Mz. Bowles, met an untimely death. Rev. Lamport was an able minister and a man highly esteemed. A dispatch to the Inter Ocean gives the following particulars: “JLast night the Rev. H. M. Lamport, pastor of the M. E. church, at Kendallville, and Henry Bowles, a rich farmer living near here, were waiting for a passenger train to convey them to Kendallville. They were walking ‘| on a side track deeply engaged in con- | versation when some gravel cars were | switched on the side track, killing | both men. The men were not missed | and their bodies not found till this morning.” Last week we published an item com- | plimentary to a crew of trainmen on | the B. & O. and this week we have an- | other crew in mind whose equal is hard |to find. They are Messrs. W. L. Herse, R. Giloway, F. P. Lapham and and M. Traster. A jolier crew never manned one of the B. & O.’s trains. They are all from Chicago Junction and take to : .ilroading as naturally as a duck to water. We took breakfast with these jolly k ights of the lantern at Walkerton last Friday morning and they had more fun than you can shake e stick at. Besides the railroad boys there were present Rev. Con Haney, who had delivered a lecture at Bremen the evening before and had convulsed his audience with his funny stories, but he got a few samples of Irish jokes not down on the program when hLe devoured the pancakes and eggs at the eating ranch at Walkerton. Long live the B. & O. train crews.—Bremen En- | quirer, ' | An exchange says: Jerry Simpson, | the “Sockless Statesman” of Kansas, it | is rumored, will petition Congress for a $2,000,000 appropriation, for the pur- | pose of exy erimenting in crossing honey | bees with lightening bugs, under the | impression that ghould he succeed the bees will be able to work nights. | NOTICE.

It was found while yet alive, and weighed 13 pounds, and was but eighteen months old. Ten million of these fish were put in the lake one year ago, so fishing will be extra good in a year or two more.
