The Prairie du CHEN Courier, a
leading Democratic paper 10 Iowa, says
it is ian earnest advocate Of reform"
but that it "cannot advocate the cleo.
ton of Greeley as a desirable reform
movement-for this movement il con-
troled almost entirely by policy politi.
clans, who have entirely ignored Dem.
ocratie principles" It. adds that it
knows Of over Eve hundred Democrats
in The county Of Crawford alone who
are opposed to Greeley. The Philos-
CIPHER is making slow progress in WIN.
ping over Republicans to- his support,
aud now even the Democrats are
deserving him. @!<::-., .9s.t, i :, s5sit5a ;

EXPLANATION WANTED.-The following,
which We clip from the Portage City Register,
looks to us "littlc peculiar People here
abouta have been given TO understand that
the route to Tomah is highly practicable and
with the people of RichIand county we have
been led to suppose that the proposed road
would run to that point if it run at all.
Either the people of Iowa and RiehIand conn-
ties, or the people of Portage City, are being
"p,ayed on" Which ishy
While at Madison last week we were in

age. THIS company has been doing consider
able engineering between Tomal and Min

bocn found such tnat it is desirable to look
for connections with the northern pincrGs
elsewhere aud Portage is found to be the
most natural and desirable point The charter
was obtained last winter, and Mr.. Strong is
giving the road his undivided attention The
Inc b, TO be Via DOdgcyille, Arena, PrHiric du

road to The northern Wisconsin pinelies, and
also With the Wolf River pineries, via RipOn'and
Oshkosh ~ Mississippi road. 1t wiil be re
markahie rs The only northeast a. q south
west road in the State, and we have often
expressed the opinion that 1t will be one Of
the best paying road. in the West. We learn
that there is the deepest feeling all along the
line Of the proposed road in its favor, and we
shall look tO see the project take definite
shape al an carly day. A mooted point Is :
Shall the line cross the Wisconsin river at
Prairie du sac and come up though West
Point and Lodi or shall it keep west Of tic
river and come up through Merrimac and
CIedonl0 Either line would be direct and
perfectly feasible. Other questions must
determine the final location. Wa shall have
more to say on this subject as matters dc

Probably never before was the water so low ;
wells and springs that never gave out before
are falling now.
By the mail yesterday evening, we received
with compliments OF +. r. Reed, "of Madison,
q copy of the MINERS FREE Pass, a news
paper printed at Mineral Point in 1910, by Ii.
b. Welsh and II. pIowmau. For our next issue
we shall make some interesting extracts from
this relic. Mr.. Reed by sending the paper has
done us great favor.
IN few day we shall make tour among
our business men with samples Of Bin and
Letter Headings and Cards with prices at
which we furnish the same, and hope to con.
vince all that there is no necessity for sending
out of town TO have printing 9oae, either on
account Of prices or style of work.
IN copying from the Darlington Republican
last week the item stating that Mr. T. G..
Wright, of Argyle, was about To connect
himself with Sidney +. shepard, of this city,
in the marble works, we conveyed the wrong
impression. Mr., Wright is to be connected
with Sid as agent only--not as partner as we
understood and published.
