Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
Hair to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
hy its use, becomes white and clean.
Ii removes all cruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimn-
latcs and nourishcs the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, ii restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age 1t is the most
economical HAIR DREsslNG ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assaycr of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and |
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.

NEW RAILROAD INTERESTS.

NEW RAILROAD INTERESTS.
Ottumwa at present seems to be tho
center of attraction for our st. Louis
friends, and we'll it may be, for to our
sister city in the South, it is tho cato.
way to Central and Northern Iowa.
"the faircst land the sun ere shonc
on"
The excursion party Of whom we
spoke yesterday, composed of repre-
aentativcs of the strongest grain and
pork packing houses in st. Louis
returned from their trip over
the Des Moines Valley Railroad to-
day. as far as Eddyvillc. where
they were furnished with a To-
connective, by the Central Railroad
of Iowa, and are now speeding up in
to that most beautiful portion of the
State the very Valley of Eschol."
Northern Iowa.
To-day our city was visited by sew
eral other gentlemen who represent
the banking of st. Louis, to-wit:
Charles Parsons, Jno. A. Scudder,
John d. Lionberger, John Jackson,
Edward p. Cnrtis, John G. and ID
Black, James T. Sands, w. J. Shar-
man. These are the gentlemen whose
names are mentioned in connection
with the new Railroad Co., whose ar
ticles of incorporation will be found
in another column.
We regret to say that we have been
misinformed as to the intentions of
this Company. 1t was merely formed
for the purpose of buying the piece of
road running from this city to Moul-
ton and transferring the same by lease
to the ST. Louis, Kansas City & North
ern Railway Company, and having no
definite idea at present of doing any
work North. While this will be a
great disappointment to all, it will be
greatly lessencd by the announcement
that a home Company has been formed
for the purpose of extending the line
not only TO Cedar Rapids, but to Du-
buquc.
The Company was incorporated sew
eral weeks ago, and numbers in its
ranks strong, hearty workers like
Trimble, of Bloomfield, Blake, Bonni-
field, Burton, Higgins, Wolf, Carpen-
ter, Taylor, Merrill, and Hedrick, and
others, of this city, Wooden, of Sigour
ney, Ely, and others of Cedar Rapids,
Plat Smith, of Dubuque, one or two
New York parties, and large dele
CATION from st. Louis. Tho name and
style of this new company, is the "Ot-
tumwa, Cedar Rapids & Dubuque r.
II. CO. The Board of Directors have
elected G. G. Gilman, OF Eldora,-the
protector and builder of the Central
Iowa-as President, and who, after
perfecting tho organization Of his
company, will lay before our citizens,
and the people along the proposed
line of road. his programme for their
endorsement.

that O'Ncil was on the engine at the

NOT ENOUGH TO GO AROUND.-In
this strange world of ours, strange
and amusing things are constantly &C.
curing. 1t seems curious that in this
densely populated country, where
women are 80 plenty, that there should
not be enough to 60 around, but this
seems to be the case.
We are Informed by Deputy Clerk
Griswold, that yesterday evening, a
young gentleman by the name of Elijah
White, made application and received
license to marry lady by the name
Of Josephine Garfield. There was
nothing strange or peculiar about this.
but early this morning, a man named
Charles Johnson made application for,
and also received license to marry
woman Of the same name, which, at
last,proyed to be the same woman. The
man who spells johnson with st."
afterwards returned to the Clerks Of
flee, heaved sigh from the bottom of
his boots, and pathetically inquired of
the Clerk If he had issued license 10
that "other fcler.',.
Mr.. g. informed him that he had.
swell" said Johnston, "ahe has gone
and married him"
The Clerk refused to buy his second
hand license, and Johnston looked Is
though he had lost all the friends he
ever had, and left the Office, vigorous
~ hopping his nose.
He was evidently out of luck,
