MURDERoUs INDIAN RAID.
Gov Burbank of Dacotah territory forwards
TO the Indian office a report announcing the
killing, Nov Sd, of three Arickarees, two wo
men and one man and the wounding of young
girl by Sioux, supposed to belong to the Grant
River agency. The party had been gathering
fuel SIX miles above the village and were float
ing down the river on a boat when they were
fired upon from the bank by large war partyo
Sioux. After killing them the Indian party
fired the prairie at many places down as fan as
Knife river, thus driving all the game out Of
the country and destroying pasturage for the
herds this winter. The damaged caused by the
raid will reach $4,000 The agent fears that
numbers of cattle will have to be killed to avert
the deplorable condition of affairs that prevail
ed last winter, and says he will not hesitate to
prevent the starvation by the sacrifice of the
herd unless otherwise ordered The man killed
by the Sioux was one of the best hunters in the
tribe and his death is severe blow to many
dependent upon him for meat. The Indians
attacked belong to tribe very friendly to the
whites and the Sioux have on many occasions
visited their abuse and outrages upon them

Central Railroad
OF IOWA.
Seven Per Cent. Gold
First MortgageBonds,
FREE OF GOVERNMENT TAX,
AT IS and Accrued Interest.

MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING
THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE
THE PUEMIUM is STILL LARGE Gas the
Treasury has promised to buy thirteen mil
lions in December) AND REINVEST IN THE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS of the CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is aohile the Treasury is
buying, and Governments are at a premium.
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
through the most thickly settled and product
i've agricultural counties in the State, which
gives each section lar.e traffic as soon as com
peted.
1t runs through the great coal fields Of
Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in
dispensable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through a district of country which is
| destitute of this prime necessity.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., of n. Y, and bonds can be is
sued only at the rate of $4,000 per mile, or on
ly half the amount upon some other roads.
Special security is provided for the principal
| and for the payment of interest.
| The New York Tribune says "this is a splen-
| did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal
| aid"
The New York independent says, "We know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
1 who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets so that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through far richer coun-
try We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. TIE truth is, that First Mortgage of
SIG, 900 per mile upon a road running through
such country cannot be otherwise than safe. .
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon road running through such a rich and
already well-settled part eff Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as we'll as very
profitable investment. Pamphlets, with map,
may be obtained, and subscriptions will be
received in Portland by
