followed by q few remarks from
Messrs. Hedrick, Merrill, and others.
The people there are fully alive to
the Importance of the Ottumwa &

GET THE BEsT.-This is sound ad-

reference to medicine, and in order
to learn which is "the BEST" let merit
be the test. The American market
flooded with all sorts Of vile and
dangerous nostrums, and thousands
of human lives sre constantly placed
n jeopardy by thom. But there are
several really invaluable medicinal
preparations which every family in
the land ought to possess at all times.
Foremost among them is Mishler's
Herb Bitters, which has fully estab.
lished its claim as the most efica-
cioqs compound extant for purifying
tho blood and ~eradicating diseases
arising from a disordercd stomach,
liver, kidneys, in%testines, etc. 1t is
used in many hospitals, asylums, dis.
pensatories, prisons, etc.. and recon-
mended by a large number OF
acknowledged leaders of the medical
profession, and has conquered an i'm
mense field solely on the strength Of
what it can and does do in preventing.
checking and curing disease. Every
body should use it for Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, and
Bilious complaints generally, Kidney
diseases, Liver complaint, &c.

Another Railroad.


We have received o dispatch dated
at Chiilicothe, Missouri, from Messrs.
Murphy & Harker, the gentlemen
whose presence we noted in our city
a few days ago, seeking o route to
connect with our Iowa system Of
railroads at Ottumwa.
They have organized n railroad
company, making thia place a point,
with the intention Of making Cover.
nor Kirkwood's Iowa and South.
western Railroad, their connection
to Chicago.
This new enterprise is put on foot
on the presumption that Alters road
is to go to Centerville and Cameron,
thus leaving C~hillicothe, and the
southern route to Kansas City, out
in the cold.
These gentlemen whom here the
other day, informed US that fully
100000 in private and county stock
was already subscribed on this route
from Chillicothe to the Iowa line,
and that it could all be transferred
to anew company, having Ottumwa
for its Iowa terminus, looking to an
immediate Chicago connection va
Iowa City, &c.
A glance at the map will show the
feasibility and Importance Of this
road, say, ria Drakevillc, Moultor
