The violent railroad war that has ragged
so Gercely between the old Dubuque 4
SIOUX City Railroad Company and the new
icsa Falls 4 Sioux City Railroad Comnany,
has at length come TO an end The ole
y. & $. c. Company have made convey
ace OF all Their night, title and interest to
tic line Of the road west Of Iowa Falls to
h Iowa Falls i Sioux City Company.
The new company assumes eli the con-
tra-.s for grading, tieins and bridging the
rad between Iowa Falls and Fort Dodge,
wh Gu have already been made also The
esl tracts relative to the right Of way, and
IA fact, everything that has beer done BY
the old company looking to the extension
Of the road. The new company take from
tie Old company everything just ~ ii

cessiul termination.
The bargain. however, is conditional in
this respect, that the land grant which has
been condidonal.y given 10 the old company
shs be passed over to the new. The leg
stature IS the only party having control Of
tbs, and the contract al properly signed
and sealed. has been put in the hands OF
third disinterested party 10 hold until
this question is decided. and then il the
land grant is conveyed TO the new company,
the contract is to be delivered A tho
Ioxa Falls Il Sioux City, however, will be
tn on y company competing for the land
grant there can be little doubt that il Will
sccnre it.
Should this condition with others of mi.
nor I'm portancc be fulfilled, the now coppa-
nv agrees to complete the road to Fort
Dodge during the present year, and to the
Missouri river before the close Of the year
1863. The new company also assumes the
lease with the Illinois Central beyond Iowa
Falls, to which assumption the Central
managers have already assentsd, and this
latter company will therefore operate the
road as fast IS il is completed, just as they
now do the completed sections. The line
being completed through to the Missouri
with branch to Sioux City and another
10 . point on the Union Pacific back Of
Omaha, and the bridge at Dubuque being
com rleied about the same time, it is de-
signed 10 make this great through route,
ard 10 this end the efforts Of all the inter
es,ed companies, the Illinois Central, the
Bridge Company, the Dubuque & Sioux

all combine.
Thore can be little doubt that the road
will nov be completed through as fast A.
possible and thus al that hne porter Of

born in January, 1885, aud is, therefore, in his
eighteenth year. He has recently been on q
visiting tour in the countries about the Med
iterranean, and, in particular, spent some time
in Coustantinople. This is, we believe, the
first visit to this country from member of
the Imperial family of Russia. The young
man is entitled to warm and hearty recep-
ton. We cannot forget that the sympathies
of his people and his Government were on the
side of the North during the rebellion, and
that no people receive such kindness and at
tention in Russia as Americans.

The Drouth in England md its Effects.
For the first time in this century the hu-
mid, smoky EAST anchored Isle" has been
visited with a drouth and severe warm
weather. which have prevailed for more than
two months and which extend in a mider
form over large tracts of the Continent. We
too, have experienced much heat during the
summer, but this heat has been mitigated by
frequent rain, so that while some of the crops
in England have greatly suffered ours have
had a very luxurient growth and promice an
abundant harvest. We have great many
philosophers in this world who imagine they
can count for everything that happens on
this globe, and especially are they ready to
give the causes of any changes OF the weather
which may occur.
Some of these weather-wise sarans charge
the Cult stream with producing the extremes
of heat, and the drowth in England. IL Is

"ECt7'enae Case" Cured,
From Rev. ISAAC AIKEN, ALLEGHENY. Pal
JOSEPH FLEMING, Druggist,
No. "a Market Street PITTSBURGH

Sir: take great pleasure in stating that, after
having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen
years, at some periods much more than Others L
have been entirely cured by the use of Goes Dys-
pepsia Cure. My friends know that of late years my
case has been an extreme had Ieat suffering
from eating any kind OF food, and on an average
would v0mit out one third of my meals, in a sour
iDdgestible mass. When the severe attacks would
come, would Sc all strength and be utterly help
less Some Of the attacks would be SO severe that for
days together would not retain anything on nv
stomach, save little dry toast and tea. For years
knew not what 1t was to pass fv consecutive hours
without intense pain. From the time took the first
dose OF this medicine ceased vomiting, gradually
all soreness passed away, and flesh and strength re-
turned, and ever since have been able to eat any
kind OF food set upon the table. SIX months have
now passed without any symptoms of the return of
the disease. My case was considered by all, even
physicians, so marvellous that Tor time 1t was fear
ed it might be fictitious: but am now so well con-
vinced, that have been not merely relieved, but
permanently cured, that can eonscientiousIy re-
commend Goes Dyspepsia Cure to all victims Of dys-
pepsia.
