" HOW TO GO WEST"

Forty years ago, Illinois was as far west as
most people wished to go and journeys were
made in the Legendary Prairie Schooner but
in these days of Progress and Improvement
the word West has come to mean Iowa. Ne
braska, Kansas, Colorado, California and the
Territories, and the Traveller reaches almost
any point therein by a splendid Line of Rail.
road.
This Line of Railroad is the Burlington
Route, which starts from Chicago over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy r. r., from In
dianoplis over the Indianapolis, Bloomington
& Western Short Line, and from Logansport,
over the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw r. r., and
running through BURLINGToN, reaches Omaha,
Lincoln, Nebraska, Nebraska City, st. Joseph,
Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City, Con-
Meeting with the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacif-
ic and other Railroads running from those
cities.
Always go BY way of Burlington and you
will be sure to be right.
The Burlington Route has admirably an
swered the question, 'How to go West?' by the
publication of a truthful and interesting doc
ument, filled with facts in regard to Time,
Connections, Accommodations, rates of Fare,
and other interesting items, and illustrated by
large map, truthfully showing the whole
West, which they distribute free of charge.

Sheep Killed by Dogs.

The number of sheep killed by dogs
in this State is enormous, and amounts
to millions of dollars every year. 1t is
often impossible TO find out who the
guilty dogs are, or who are their un-
fortunate owners. As sheep killing is
propensity with dogs in general, let
the whole canine race be taxed per capi-
ia for the depredations of their erratic
members. Let there be law to that
effect, and let such tax constitute fund
to pay for sheep killing and there will
be less of it done. Many superfluous
dogs will feel the force of the law, and
persuade their owners to bring their
life to an abrupt termination.

How to Get your Money Back.

Owing to the fact that we have lately
purchased the interest of Mr.. Laubach
and have thus increased our liabilities,
We call attention to the fact that it will
be necessary for every one, who knows
himself indebted to the REpuBLIcAN
Office in any way, whether by subscrip-
ton, job work, or advertising, to come
forward at once and make settlement,
as we must have our money. You pay
us, and We will pay those who owe you,
and they in turn will pay you. So that
after few days your own money will
come back TO you, having paid your
debts and the Indebtedness of your own
creditors.

The Shanesrille Case.

The Grand Jury has stirred up the
Shanesville Forney case pretty effectu-
ally. There were about fifty witnesses
from there before the Grand Jury, and
the result is, that one man has been irt
dicted for getting Miss Forney in a con-
dition to be placed in her grave by try
ing to procure an abortion, another for
removing the body from the grave af-
ter it was put there, and three others
for secreting it after it was removed.

all sides, we don't know anything about

True to her ColOrs.

The New Lisbon Patriot relates the
following: a certain rich man in Sa-
lem has a wife who is a member of the
Baptist church. The society were builG-
ing new church. The lady thought
she ought to give one hundred dollars
to pay the church debt. She consulted
her husband. He told her he would
give the amount, if she would do with
out meat, coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper
and spices for the next year. She knew
she could not live without some of them,
and SO she told her husband. Dedica-
ton day came, and true, to her woman
ly instinct, she took Off her gold watch
and chain and gave them to tile church.

Wool.

Wool, is again, after several years of
depression, looking up, and bids fair to
reach satisfactory price. An exchange
in a neighboring wool growing county,
says: "The wool market is stiffening
up, which is good news for our farmers,
who have been compelled to put up with
low prices for the last few years. We
understand that agents of some large
wool houses in the East are already in
the market offering to buy up what
wool there is on hand, and also to buy
this years clip in advance. Although
they are offering higher figures than
were paid last year, still they are by no
means paying near as much as wool is
now worth in the market. We advise
our farmers not to be in a hurry to sell
their wool, and by no means to part
with their sheep at present." Prices
are going up in this country and Eng
land. Good Ohio wool is now worth
75 to so cents in the Eastern markets.
There is also a scarcity of the articles
all over the country. So, don't be in a
hurry about selling. Read the papers
and keep posted, and you will make
money by it.
From the n. Y. Economist, of the 10th
ult., We make the following extracts:
We have to note that We are noSa pos
itirely in the midst Of a scool famine.
Manufacturers are now paying nearly
double the price for wool they paid last
year, and yet the woods keep advancing
every day, but our prices are still be-
low current prices abroad, and we can
not be supplied until We bid 10 per
cent. above English buyers for wool in
the markets of the world.
High prices consequently must be
paid for wool for year to come the
world over, because the consumption of
wool is much greater than the supply.
The truth is there is no way We can
keep our woolen machinery in motion
to-day, but to let the tariff alone, en-
courage wool-growing at home, and go
into the markets of the world to-day
and bid 10 per cent. above all other
wool buyers.

The Judge and the Ground Hog.

Judge EstIll and Col. Mcdowell one
day last week, took the train for Oxford
TO look over the Judges broad acres.
They stopped at J. Schlupe's (the
Judges tenant. The Judge borrowed
an axe from Jake which he slung on his
shoulder and with Jake's small dog at
his heels, started for a walk over the
farm. They soon espied Ground Hog,
(he is all right this year, The dog and
Col. gave chase and run him into hol-
low log, where action Immediately
commenced. The dog would draw the
G. Hog partly out of the log and the
g. Hog would take the dog back. The
Judges sympathy getting high on the
side of Jake's dog, he thought he would
help him. So getting the Col. to en-
courage the dog he put himself in posi-
tion with axe above the dog, he waited
for the extraction OF the G. Hog, when
he would settle him with the axe. Soon
an opportunity offered, and the Judge
struck with all his might, but the G.
Hog gathered mp at the same time, took
the dog in far enough to receive the
blow of the axe, and Jake's dog was
killed on the spot. The Judge admits
that he was euchered on lone hand
that time, and in telling the story (the
joke on the dog the Judge adds: "7,hot
dog don't kno,o to this day but ,ohot the G..
Hog killed him" Any person having
good G. Hog to dispose off at fair
price will please fetch him to the Farm
er Office where he will be taken on sub
scription. Good recommendations re-
quired.
1t was the first time the G.. Hog had
been out to inspect the weather since
the 2nd Of February but recognizing
the Judge and foreseeing the conse-
quences, he Immediately retired, which
event gave rise to this fearful battle.
