CHICAGO. April S. (Speeial.)-With two big: railroad deals just completed to ward the establishing of a new .through phort line from the Great Lakes to Mex ico City and a system of lines which shall bring Denver into touch with the Gulf nnd the Gulf territory into touch with the Orient through the North Pacific ports, it comes to light that the B. F. Yoakum syndicate is about to accomplish one of the really great railway achieve ments in recent years. The whole plan is a jart of the enter prise to develop the Southwest, and in its execution the Rock Island and 'Frisco hj stems arc Involved in a vital way. To date the project, which has been for :i long time one of the dreams of Mr. Yoakum, has involved an expendltuce of JO.OOO.COO, and the ultimate cost will be close to 570,000,000. Of such moment is the scheme to the future development of the "West and Southwest that it is fairly comparable to the Gould project of getting a line from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. The ww system is expected to afford the nat ural outlet for the products of the farms. factories and mines of the country west of the Mississippi. Distance Cut 600 Miles. The new Chicago-Mexico City line will reduce the traveling distances between these two cities more than COO miles. There will, In fact, be two lines between ihe lakcs and the Mexican capital, one by way of St. Louts. New Orleans, Gal veston and Brownsville, the other by way of Kansas City, Fort Worth. Browns- IIIe and the National of Mexico. The two railroad events which have dls tloscd the importance of the Toakum plans arc the purchase of the Colorado & Southern by the Yoakum syndicate and purchase by the National of the Hi dalgo & Northwestern. There is not the slightest doubt that the Yoakum syn dicate and the National Railroad of Mexico, through its president, have both a construction and operating understand ing. The Yoakum line opens up one of the nio.st wonderful countries in the United State. To it homeseckers are now go ing in great numbers. Connection With the Frisco. Connection is to be made with the 'Frisco and with the Rock Island as fol '.owfc: The Trinity and Brazos Valley has been completed from Cleburn, Tex., i Mexla and has been given trackage rights over the Santa Fe from Cleburne to Forth Worth. Building is now going on between Mexla and Houston, and with the Santa Fe there is a trackage agree ment between Galveston and Houston. This completes the new line from Den ver to Galveston, as it does also the new through line from Chicago by way ff Kansas City and Fort Worth to Brownsville on the Mexican border. Thus lie Rock Island Is given a through line o Mexico shorter by COO miles than the present route via EI Paso and the Mex ican Central. To WliCHtflcltls or Northwest. Extension of the Denver-Galveston line to th.c -wheat fields of the Northwest is an important move In the general scheme. Connection with the 'Frisco ytm will be made In this way: Mr. Voakum has in mind the line from Hous ton through Beaumont, using the tracks of the Kanso City Southern from Beau juont to De(ulneey. La., and thence on to Baton Rouge. ThuR will be completed a new Eastern Illinois, Frisco-Gal veston and Mexico City route. The connections -will bring the Yoakum syndicate lines into touch with all the Gulf ports as well as all of the 'Frisco Eastern Illinois and Rock Island lines Into touch with the same ports, and into touch with Old Mexico. When these plan? ate all completed the Yoakum lines probably -will come into control of the Rock Island, giving it the most com prrnensive system of railroads in this "otntry. DEATH OF JARS.

John Alexander Dowie. the deposed leader of the religious colony at Zlon City. ill., is remembered by several local persons as having appeared at the Tabernacle, now the" Empire Theater, at Twelfth and MorrUon streets, some 13 years ago. At that time Dowie was accompanied by his wife and two children, the youngest, a girl who died miiw few months ago through the refusal of the father to summon medical aid. The meetings held at the Tabernacle were attended by large crowds of people eager to witness the wonderful cures advertised by Elijah the Third. Some of his followers declare that the healer performed several miraculous cures while here, while the more skeptical say the Instances cited were merely Imagi nary or temporary achievements.
