THE Clinton HeraM of che 14th, say

The Clinton Herald of the 18th, says
of the dissatisfaction about the Southwest
ern r. r.:
'sThis is the kind of talk We have been fearing.
Indianola ia fifty miles directly west of Oskaloosa
and on he straight line to Council Bluffs. The
next thing we shall hear is that Oskaloosa is be-
coming dissatisfied with the delay, and perhaps
Iowa City. Would 1t not be well for our Citizens
Association to make inquiry of Mr.. Hinckly, and
get from him some positive reply as to his inten-
tionsf Too much money has been spent on this
splendid route of road to warrant its being given
up, and delay is creating suspicion along the
lines Right here we desire to say, there has
never been projected finer route OF railraad in
Iowa than the route from Clinton to Iowa City,
thence to Oskaloosa, thence to Knoxville, thence
to Indianola and Winterset and thence to Coun-
Gil Bluffs directly west, and st. Joseph In Missou
ri southwest. We have always believed, also,
that the route should be air line one from
Iowa City to Oskaloosa, instead Of fooling round
the detour of the Iowa river valley and that of
English river The latter should be touched at
least as far west the forks. This will make the
shortest line by many miles, from Council Bluffs
and St..Joseph to Chicago and the district of
country penetrated will be some of the finest in
Iowa. With new bridge at this point, and with
this Southwestern road as well as those up and
down the river crossing 1t and feeding the c. b. &
@. line to Chicago, We cannot conceive of any
thing more likely to be forever profitable"

A few days since notorious would be
politician of our city, approached subject
of the Emerald Isle, who had just emerged
from the noisy confines of beer saloon,
and in rather an Insignificant way, said
"Well, Johnny, you've been in to ge,

While at Skunk river the other day, we
saw the two fine stone piers at Currler' s
mill, awaiting the coming of the King Iron
bridge that is to span the creek there.
The new bridge will be just above the ola
one; and if looks is anything to judge by,
we think it is badly needed now. Chariey
Currier has his usual run of bad luck, and
has lost piece of his dam again, but does
not damage it materially.

afflicted with Goitre, or swelle neck, and it had
become SO bad that an effort to raise my arms
