Leaving the East and arriving at Chica-

the West? The best Line is aeknowl-
edged to be the g., B. & O., joined togeth-

Bridge at Burlington, and called the BUR-
LINGToN ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to

forming the shortest route across f6e
Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ. diverging
at Red Oak, falls into line running down
the Missouri through St. Joe to Kansas
City, and all Kansas. Passengers by this
route to Kansas, see Illinois. Southern
Iowa, anfi Missouri, and, by slight di-
vergence, can see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remember
the Burlington Route, for its towns ahigh-
cleaning from afar"-its tree-fringed
streams-its rough bluffs and auarries
Its corn-oceans stretching over the prai-
ries further than eye can reach.

it, for they have fienos among the two

The Lecture Season.

A letter from. Webster City, Iowa, in
forms US that Matilda Fletcher, associate
editor Daily State Register, Des Moines
Iowa, and Lecturer, will visit Indiana
early this season to fill engagements, and
that she would be pleased to devote one
evening to Plymouth if the lecture com
mittee or any committee will guarantee
the moderate sum of $50 Her subjects
for the coming season are: "MEN ANr
THEIR WHIMs;" CARE YOU FOR SALE
OR, POLITICAL FoLLIEs."
Wherever this lady lectures she com
mands the esteem of her audience. The
Western Press and distinguished persons
speak of her in the very highest terms
Henry O'Connor, the Attorney Genera
of Iowa, himself an orator, writes to The
Bureau:
Matilda Fletcher is most captivating
speaker, brilliant, logical, and witty. Sh,
possesses the rare and happy art, of ut
tering the most pronounced and positiv,
sentiments, in such way as not to offend
the bitterly prejudiced; while it is sur,
to win all who have the least claim te
candor.
"She lever fails to command the un
divided attention of any audience"
The Chicago Post says sShe is a la
dy of surprising eloquence, and thu
Burlington Haacksye, the leading papeI
in the State of Iowa, pays her this hand
some tribute:
She possesses rare gifts, both as .
writer and speaker. To hold an audi
ence as she held hers on last evening

The Mechanical Age.

We have had the Iron Age, and it is
said We have had the Golden Age, but the
nineteenth century may very properly be
termed the Mechanical Age.
Reader, did you ever think that there is
scarcely any work of art, however COM
piicated in its structure or gorgeous in
its appearance, that might not be accom-
plished by the aid of machinery?
That which few years ago required
the constant toll of thousands for wears
can now be performed in a short time
with but little labor Indeed, it has been
doubted by some political economists
whether labor saving machines were Of
general utility, on account of the large
amount of work performed in so short a
time tending to reduce to penury and
want many persons required to labor with
their hands for subsistence.
Without stopping to discuss this myth
we accept the generally conceded theory
hat in this day of progress and civlliza-
ton, any machine that will relieve men
from the expenditure of bone and muscle
is blessing to the human family, and the
mechanism should be priced in proper.
ton to the labor saved.
If this be granted, We may safely assert
without fear of successful contradiction
that the steam shovel brought here BY
Messrs. Hawkins, Willard s. Co., an6
now at work on the P. K. 81 p. r. r.. is
one of the most practical inventions now
in use. Whoever has witnessed the
movement of this mammoth machine will
attest that its giant arm moves the Her
culean shovel as gracefully, and scoops III
ton of dirt and gravel with as much
ease and throws it on the car as rapidly
as the most expert shoveler Two shovel
fuls load a car, and, from observation
twelve cars are loaded in twenty minutes
Three men manage the machine, hence !
| will be apparent that it saves the labor o
forty men.

A young gentleman and lady from a
northern village came to cur town the
other day, stopped at Esquire Osborne s
office, bowed before the hymenial altar,
and were pronounced man and wife This
IS in perfect accord with the law of our be-
ing, and laudable; but when we heard
that in few hours afterwards that young
man was taken to the same Office and
fined three dollars for being intoxicated
on the street, we could scarcely appreciate
the saying that "man will risk all he has
for woman" but rather concluded that he
would risk woman, honor, body and soul
for whisky.
