While cur citizens appear to DO doing little
or no:hing to aid in securing the benefit Of
the proposed oew route TO the East and
South, the people Of Illinsis are alive TO ito
Importance and are bound to build the road.
We received call from o. =. Page. ESQ.,,

the working men-one Of the many who
ars doing their utmost for the road. On
Monday the people Of his township vote on
the proposition to take $4,000 Of stock
the call for the election was signed BY over
one hundred legal voters.
IL reports that the citizens Of Western
will vote::on Tuesday for or againss
the proposition that that township take
stock TO the amount Of $3c 900.
A petition is now circulating in the towns
ship OF Andoves for . special meeting Of

The people along the line believe they
can raise money enough to build, own and
control the road independent Of oil monop.
olies, and there is not the slightest reason
for believing that the road will not pay
handsomely from the commencement

THB GAME OF BsAe.-"A report Of Che
Milwaukee markets is added to our reports
BY telegraph this morning. Similar reports
will appear regularly in our columns here>
after. - Gasettr.
This is fair specimen Of the inherent
brsggardism of the Gazette. The Milwau>
kee markets have been reported for some
line, but very irregularly, and with the ex
ception Of the last time, whenever they
have been sent they have appeared with
the Chicago, ST. Louis, Cincinnati and New
York markets in the Evening DExocRAr,
twelve hours in advance Of the Morning
Gazette.
A report Of to-day's Milwaukee markets
will be found on our fourth page.

er mau jumped into his wagon
in order TO escape paying their
ferriage. The clerk of course demands
ed their fare, but was met with loud and
abusive language on the partsof Schau Lbig
and Guhler. When the boat landed on this
side the abuse was still going on, and Mare
shal Moore caused the arrest of the two OBJ.
streporous parties They didn't want to
go with him and be was compelled to pro,
cure aid.
UNFouNDED.-The rumor Of the death Of
our friend Milo White is probably incorrect.
At last accounts he was lying in = very
critical condition and not expected to live
We trust the report Of his death 10 un.

The City Debt.
EDrroR DsnocRAr: The impudsnce Of
that neighbor Of yours is equal to Q cold

to be accused Of blackguardism and Of PET
sonalities By paper which has but one re

head" To be sure, just before election
time, the editor does vary it listls By sub

exception, the staple warp and woof Of eli

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Does il deny
that its friends have had the control Of the
city these many yearss No. Does it deny
my charge that during oil these years the
Gasette sucked its pap in peace without .

Does il deny that during the first four
months Of the Peoples party power that
that party has commenced the work Does
