Tnr TrrroN RAilnoAp.-Ths eitissns Of
Cedar county have taken, hold Of this rod
With determination 10 put il through
Thsy h6ve already nised over thirty thous-
and dollars, and say they caa raise 6fty
thousand. Why should We not wake up and
help them -Auscatins Journal.
There is no reason in the world why you
should not. Nuscatine has vital interests in
that road--at least We should think 20 from
Ill that has been sid absut II there. II ~
were to believe Ill We read end who does
not--as much - he cans We should infer
that in the Upton road lies the commercial
salvation Of Muscatine city, and likewise the
commercial destruction ofDavenport. What
greater incentive need tho forn,er place re-
quire. But who knows whether or not they
believe oil they say in the papers and on the
street cornerss In conversation the other
day with gentleman from that city, We
were informed that Muscatine capital would
long since have put that road in running
order were it not for the firmly rooted be-
lief that the work, when completed, would
result ten fold more advantageeusly to Dsv-
export than to Mnscatine. We trust that
our Muscatine friends with capital to spare,
will not let any such distrust operate upon
their minds, but 60 right ahead as though
there were no Davenport in existence, and
build that road. II ought TO be done-and
Muscatine ought to join hands with the Ce-
dar county folks and help do it.
That MoNEY.-We would be pleased Ia
now il Richard, Of the Davenport DEMO
GRAFT, has yet received the ten thousand dol
lars which he expected to flow into his pock.

we suggested to you the propricty Of buy

We shall b satisfied with small share
We will be willing to take nine thousand
nine hundred and ninety nine dollars and
fifty cents; and this will leave you the mu-
nificent sum Of fifty cents, which you may
use in drinking our health. This will be All
equitable division Of the spoils. We gave
you good advice, and II will do you good to
pay for it. Ri-hard, send that money

Chicago to this place. Wen get 1t by that
line in year or two after the close Of the
