,rhe Railr>ad Outlook,

= =
Mr.. Street camo here last Tuesday
evening and gave our citizens talk in
reference to the St Paul, Iowa and St
Louis road, and explained to them
somewhat in reference to the prospects
before us.
From the view of the matter which
he gave fs there are certainly many
very encouraging features to the face
of this affair There is plenty Of mon
ey in the east, mostly European CAPT.
tai, desiring investment in first class
railroad security. The only obstacle
in the way of the early completion of
contracts for the money wherewith to
build and equip and run this line Of
road is the incompleteness of prepare
tons for the road in which the people
along the line are found. The trans.
Ter oil the road bed OF the old Iowa Cen.
trail, through Tama and Blackhawk
counties, has not been effected though
now in process OF being done, and
the subscription to be raised, has not
been raised, at least not in lama
County and only partially in Powe
shiek.
AS soon as these things arc done
there does not seem to be any doubt
that negotiations for the building Of
the road can be brought to an early
close and the cars soon BE- running to
Toledo. And the contamination OF this
desirable project depends upon the
people along the line Of tho road, and
not upon Mr.. Street or upon the CAPT
talist.

A SwlNDLE ON THE SEx.-From Al
bany comes story which we don't
credit. No woman would have been
SO naughty as to resort to such an ar.
tifice. But the story is so good that
it deserves republication. There was
Fair in that city and three days be.
fore it closed, one of the newspapers
contained personal which read thus:
Dear George-My heart is breaking.
Don't desert me. Como this evening
to the Fair on St. - street. You
will find me at the - table.-Llz
ME." The advertisement was, Of course,
read by those who arc wont to look
over the Personals and the rendez.
vous In view was extensively spoken
Of by the patrons OF tho Fair. In the
evening people clustered around the
- table to witness the meeting be.
tween George aud Lizzie, and to as
certain who they were. While wait
ing tho coming Of George, for whose
sake Lizzie's heart was breaking, the
eager crowd made liberal purchases
at the table, and in a comparatively
short time the three misses had dis
posed Of nearly their whole stock il.
trade. 1t is needless to say that Liz
zie and George never met at the ap-
pointed place. State Register.

Some Years since poor but talented gent
lemsn Of the medical profession conceived
the idea that if he could produce . medicine
Of universal application and extraordinary
merit, and make it known he could not only
enrich himself and escape the drudgery of q
Physicians life, but also benefit the eick in .
greater measuae than by his private practice.
He therefore consulted with the best PhysiS4
ians he could find and the result was the pro.
duction Of the Judson's Mountain Herb Pills,
. famous and most successful medicine. He
began in small way to make the Mountain
Herb Pills known by advertising them and
such was the value Of his Pills, that in few
years he had not only amassed . fortune
but had that rare satisfaction for rich man.
Of having relieved the sick, and benefited his
fellow men in every part Of the country, as
thousands Of grateful testimonials could
prove. The Judsons Mountain Herb Pills
have cured Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Fe>
male Irregularities, and all Bilious disorders.
This little sketch serves both to adorn . tale
and point moral. DR.. Judson's Pills were
meritorious and the doctor himself knew the
value Of printers ink. For sale by oil dealers.

BRUTAL TREATMENT or WIZ
Some two or three weeks ago, in
Oneida Township, Canadian and his
wife, from some cause, got into quar-.
rel. This, we understand, was in the
evening. The next morning before
the woman was completely dressed,
the quarrel RECOMMENDED, when the
brute of ia husband beat his wife shame
fully, and then thrust her out Of doors
barefooted, and fastened he- out. She
made her way to one of the nelghbors
and froze her feet. Nothing was done
about it, however, except that justice
sent him letter Of warning, and the
maltreated wife returned to her home.

From Chelsea.

The past week has been decidedly
"dry" as far as news is concerned, but
such has not been the case with the
weather. In fact, Mr.. Editor, we have
had quite long "spell of weather,
and it do MT seem TO be entirely over
it yet. The whole "spell' was Uet.
Every thing was wet-cven to the wa
ter. 1t is a positive fact that have
not heard single person say he was
dry for the last two weeks.
For the last FIVE or six days have
been studying the Almanac to ascer.
tain if there were any good and suffi-
cient" cause for the continuance OF the
Equinoxial storm. The book is silent
on the subject. 1t speaks of the
moons changes but mentions no
changes in the weather, neither in our
pockets. 1t gives the time Of the
rising and setting of sun as usual, but
what is that to US? we have not seen
the sun for eight or ten days, and had
about concluded that Old Sol had
'gone back on us" or else had got on
the wrong track, and that we would
be compelled to use the Eight Of
other days" We were just about
contracting for supply Of that article
when the clouds parted and, for few
moments the sun shone out with unu-
sual brilliancy and his cheering rays
sent a spring like thrill through the
community causing many of the des-
pondent ones to cheer up and exclaim
II guess the storm is over" But Sc.
riously We have had an unusualamount
of cloudy, damp weather with consid-
cradle rain. The melting of the large
amount Of snow that fell few weeks
ago, together with the rain, caused the
Iowa river and the smaller streams to
overflow their banks, and the water is
now all over what is known as the
"bottom lands, and the prairie looks
like an inland lake.
Our town being built on the "bot-
tom" between the Iowa river and o.
ter creek, gets more than necessary
portion OF the water. For while
business is at stand still, very little
being done beside supplying the wants
of the people who live in aud about
the town, and it is very involvement
getting about. A few hundred dol
lars expended in building side walks
would be a great help to the place.
Rail Road and Express men, and 9th.
crs passing by make a great many
laughable remarks about our "water
privileges" and facilities for raising
ducks" for which of course we do not
care, being glad to be able to furnish
our share OF fun. But there is an idea
prevalent out side of our town that
does no great injustice and which
would be glad to have corrected The
idea i. that Chelsea is very unhealthy
place scarcely inhabitable on account
of the ague. Such is not the case.
There is no more sickness here IN pro.
portion to our number than in any
other place along the line Of this Rail.
way and there were but five cases OF
ague here during the past year and as
few cases Of fever as in any other
town.
