WOULD BE OP BENEFIT Eastern Promoters Have Been Coi* •Iderlng Branch In This 8eo tlon of State, It is Declared. That the Baltimore and Ohio has its eyo on the Keoir.uk and Western In case the suit againBt the Burlington ends in a divorcement of the two roads is a bit of railroad gossip which Is buzzing around just now. It is giv en little credence by the fact that New York (promoters have been in Burlington recently, talking about building from Beardstown west. The B. & O. by building from Beardstown Into Keokuk would have an outlet by way of the Keokuk and Western into Omaha, where they would join the Union Pacific. This would be a direct route into the west for this eastern carrier, and the fact that the story has been given cred ence frequently of late make it look as though something of the sort may be contemplated. It has been suggested among other things that the B. & O. haB been in terested or is interested in the pro posed Marsh line. The fact that the line which it is declared will be built from Beardstown WeBt, may be elec trified makes it look as if there might be something to this general rumor. At any rate, if the B. & O. "bjillt from Beardstown to Keokuk, in almost a direct line, and then was able to get out over the present K. & W. it would have a fine chance for western con nections. The Burlington Gazette recently printed a story to the effect that pro moters from the east, Capell and Co., are backing a project to build from Beardstown to Burlington via Fort Madison. What its object would be in a line of this sort, more than serving the oil fields In Illinois, does not ieem to be clear. If this line is built, the Gazette says that the motive power will be gasoline motors, geared directly to the trucks. PERSONALS. Miss Genevieve.
