TIIE REPUBLIC: THFRSDAT. PEBEUA '20, J02. J m t. i ( X A ! I t t FRISCO BACKING NEW BELT LIE. Planned to Encircle St. Louis With a Terminal Haihvny Crossing All Knterinir Koads. fvtW BRIDGE CONTEMPLATED. Burlington and Other IiO'ids Im ported Interested Will I'.e En abled to Iicach World's Fair Site Relief for Congestion. Plans aro about completed to belt St. Louis with a terminal railroad line, to this mppon of which tlio Frisco null the Inter state Car Transfer Company are definitely committed, ana which may take, into its f : sanlzatlon several other railroads run ning Into St. Louis, anil later cause the cons'ructlon cf another bridge across tho .Mississippi at uaronaeiec uy me ut-n t oarly construction, roads now unable ivjulJ be nble to reach tho World's Fair site. These plans contemplate an extensive de velopment, involving heavy expenditures, in adding to the terminal end belt-line sys tem. of St, IxjuIs, which, it is authoritative ly stated, hae been encouraged by nn open "velcome by tho merchant1 of SU Louis sind the transportation lines interested In this sntewny. Arrangements are under way lor the financing of tin- project in tho nasi, but within the -last few days several of tho largest tnit companies of St. Ivniis have expressed a desire to finance ths new ter minal railroad and all necessary Improve ments v.htch the full consummation of tho dial may demand. By persons connected with the- matter, Tiho refused to be quoted directly, it Is stated that It Is not too groat nn assump tion to place In the new company the Bur lington, the Frtco, the Colorado, the Katy and even the Missouri Pacini roads. tli:ugh the last Is one of the strongest members of the Terminal n.iilrnad Association of St. IjOula. These roads, the Wabash, and all other roads entering St. Louis, which nec essarily must cross the line of the proposed sew belt line, could benefit by It. Two years ago the Interstate Car Trans fer Company. 'located In the Security build ing, secured the stock of the Central Uelt I Company, carrying Its franchise, and has since been able, through the courts, to t moke several changes working toward the ocect or a oeit lino arounu nu ixiuis 10 relieve thj through traffic. The Interstate Car Transfer Company transfers cars ncross Ihe Mississippi ltlver on steel hull boats, or.e of which Is the largest In the United Stater, carrying thirty cars. Members of this company, especially Jta president. W. IC. Kavanaugh. have sj far represented the membership of the Cen tral Belt Company. The Central Belt was reorganized last November with a capital of J1.500.0CO, and It was then announced that the construction of a belt railroad wou.'d Immediately be begun. Mr. Kava nauph is prcsid-nt of the Central Belt alsu. TI.M:ns PItni'OSUM JX THE ntlUTE. It Is proposed. Instead of starting from Jefferson Barracks, lo start the roI at the Junction of tho St. !3uls and San Fran- iseo Railroad tracks with tho city limits, " route then to run in a northerly eind : orUiwesterly direction to the North and w.'i'h road, about W0 feet east of Us inter ne, uoi: with tho Clayton road, thence north wardly around Clayton, skirting the county t- u on th west to the junction of the 11c K 'ifght road and Colorado Ilailroad tracks; then to parallel the Colorado tracks to Uie nonhomnio road, thence north and cast to 'he St. Cnarles ltock road, east to the t'arson road und to Ferguson avenue, nnd east and north to the Hall's Ferry road, th.'niis southwardly and eastwardly to the arts of the St. .Louis, Keokuk and Is'orth v. .jsi.-rn Kaiiroad north of Prospoct Hill ;a'i-n. The Interstate Car Transfer Company op erates under contract with the Venice and Care idelet Belt, owne-d by the Southern Hallway. This road, it has been rumored, may come in on the new belt line. This line, which give." East St. Louis a belt road, begins) at the "dike." extending to above Venice, opposite the North Market street ferry, and has Incline connection above the llTe-hanta" nridse. It runs southward to si point on the Mississippi River opposite l--srerance street Incline. It also has a right-of-way from Its southern end to Ca-rondel-t. part of which Is made. 'onsti.iiCtio:v iip m:w TIIMIlOr CONTEMPI.ATl'D. The Interstate Car Transfer Company's EXTRfiGRBIHiUtY &IERIT Of a New Catarrh Cure. Plijsiclans arc slow to take up new and untried remedies until their value has been established by actual experiment, and th-:y are naturally skeptical of the many new preparations constantly appealing and for wh.'-h extravagant claims are made. Tho most liberal ami cnltsrhtened' physi cians are always itady, buxi.vcrto make a fair trial -of anv r,ew fciievlfic and cet at iti true medical value - ws $ A new preparation for the cure of catarrh has atttacLCd much attention in tho iKist few months, and bis met with gieat favor from the medical profoson. net only i cause It is remarkably successful in tho cure of catarrh, hut also because it is not a secret patent medicine; any one using it knows just what he Is taking into his sys tem. II is composed of blood root, which acts on the blood and mucous m mbrane, hy Irastin for same purpose to clear the mil- us from head and thioal. and red gum of eucalyptus trre to destroy catarrhal germs In th" blood. All of th se antiseptic remedies are com bined in the foun of a pleasant-tasting tab let or iocnge, and are sold by elruggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, ind manv recent tests in clfonic catarrh ascs liave established Its r.irit beyond question. Dr. Sebring states that he has d scarded inhalers, sprays and washes, and depends sntlrely upon Stuart's Catarrh Tablets In rcating nasal catarrh. He says: "I have had patients who had lost ih? sense of smell entirely, and whose hearing was also Impaired from msal catarrh, recover com pletely after a few weeks use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. I have ben equally suc cessful wilh the remedy in catarrh of the throat and cstarrh of stomach. I can only rrplaln It on the prlneijle that, catarrh is a eoiiKtitut'onal disease, and that the anti septic properties In these tablets elrive the catarrhal poison completely out of the t"s tem." Dr. Odcll says: "I have cured many cases 'if catarrh of stomach In th past Tour months by the Use of Stuart's Catarrh Tali lets alone, without the use of any othr remedy, and without d'etlng. The tablets are especlallv useful in nasal catarrh nnd catarrh of the tbrpat. cleatlng the mem branes snd.overconl'ng Ihe continual hawk ing, coughing and expectorating, so disgust ing And annoying lo catarrh sufferers." fe ihi -W t 1 :&&yj!i mm$&sifa incline property on the Missouri side of .the river connects with the Burlington just north of tho Mereliants bridge and directly opposite the noithern end of Venice aril Carondelet Belt. The belt would operate oer the Hurling ton, under special trackage airnngenient, to a point Just outside of the rity limit", where they would separate, the belt line turning we.-t and ek'rting the city around to the south. .t tlil-4 southern point it Is the Intention In operate the steel-hull limits in transferring cars, but the con struction of a bridge Is in contemplation for the future, at a cost of svernl million dollars. Extensive yards :tre propos-ed at various points on tho belt, pne of the largest to be located at the Cnrcndelet crosslrg. Yards would cilso be built to accommodate the Frisco, the Burlington and other roads which might take membership in the new company for trackage. The line into the World's Fair grounds will lie detet mined upon as soon as the in tention) of the Pair IMrector-iare definitely known. It Is the object of th. roads inter ested to get into the Pair ml an equal basis with all loads. The Burlington and bridge roads will be especially benefited, as at present they are net in a favorable po sition to reach the Fair grounds. The new road Is planned more for the re lief of through-freight tralile, an Its on-ne-ctions would enable it to give tho ship pens the best facilities for prompt handling of freight thiotiKli this gateway, but for tiie rair passenger service would be ur ranged. In this connection the Terminal Belt Hall way Is anxious to run n belt, if the loads will agree, liom a point en the St. Louis slde of the river, cutting through the city limits to the west, near the Bellcfontaine j Cemetery.

Whin rn sklent Yoakum was questioned in regard to the enterprise, and as to whether it is backed, as leported, by the Fitsco. ho said he had nothing to say at this time. President Kavanaugh stated that, to his knowledge, it had not been fully decided jus.t what loads would niter the net company. It I known, however, that the facts above are correct. Upon comple tion of all details preparatory lo otllcial announcement, it is stated that a new com pany covering the new belt essociation may bo formed with an entirely new set ef filers for the lx It line, lepiesentative of all tho interests.
